New in KBackup 0.6 (May 25, 2009)

  • kbackup is now ported to KDE4 and has the following new features:
  • Port to cmake and KDE4/Qt4, which also removes the 4GB limit per file
  • sort hidden files/dirs before normal ones
  • show dimmed icon for hidden files (like konqueror)
  • don't allow to expand symlinked dirs as the content is not archived but only the link
  • Add "Save As..." menu and store name of loaded profile, so that a save directly writes to that
  • Add --autobg commandline which starts kbackup without a GUI e.g. for cron, at, ...
  • Add --verbose commandline option which allows to see all files when using --autobg
  • When the upload fails for a slice, offer a way to select a temporarily different target
  • if target-dir does not exist, create it (mkdir -p)
  • # of kept backups on target dir (per profile)
  • show list of created archive slices in finish-dialog
