Thanks, Daniel, I got buffer from there too. It all works very nicely now.
I was beginning to think that there wasn't a worthwhile backup program in the
distribution, so I started looking at the commercial solutions. BRU was the
best I found but I didn't like its proprietary format.
Flexbackup is simple and powerful - the only thing it lacks is a gui. KDat
has a very simple gui but I haven't got it working in the two years I've been
using KDE.
