Having said that, I've never looked at star, maybe I should (I'm not
bothered about a GUI for a job that's handled by a cron task)

What do you do when your DVD no longer boots on the only working hardware?
What do you do if you cannot compile dar on the OS that late runs on your
machines?

dar still does not compile out of the box because the configure srcipt aborts
and needs manual fixes, so dar cannot be called a piece of highly portable software.

I have to say that Kdar worked fine before and installed fine. I just didn't like the fact that I couldn't restore say my OS from it. Dar wasn't on the Gentoo CD that I had.
