KBackup is a program that lets you back up any directories or files, whereby it uses an easy to use directory tree to select the things to back up.

The program was designed to be very simple in its use so that it can be used by non-computer experts.

The storage format is the well known TAR format, whereby the data is still stored in compressed format (bzip2 or gzip).

KBackup also includes a german translation for the user interface.

What's New in This Release:

· correctly limit slice size:
· limited by the target directory (when we store directly into a local dir)
· limited by the "tmp" dir when we create a tmp file for later upload via KIO
· limited by Qt3 (4GB on 32bit)
· limited by user defined maxSliceMBs
· sort directories first in treeview
· correctly sort by size and timestamp in treeview
· check if a file that is archived into the backup is not the backup itself

What's New in This Release: [ read full changelog ]

· When running in non interactive mode (e.g. cron), do not use KIO but only direct file access as KIO needs a KDE session and $DISPLAY
· This now makes the slice-reduction on the local target dir work.
