I have just uploaded Version 1.0 of KBACKUP to sunsite.unc.ed=
u's
Incoming directory.
It should soon appear in /pub/linux/system/Backup/KBackup10.t=
gz.
KBackup is a powerful yet user-friendy backup system, fully c=
ompatible
with tar(1) of afio(1).
Among the many features included are:
=09- floppy and tape support
=09- user-friendly menu-controlled operation
=09- afio or tar format (get afio from /pub/linux/system/Back=
up/...)
=09- optional compression
=09- quick tape archive directory access
=09- automatic detection of archive format
=09- double buffering for tapes
=09- high density floppy formats
=09- optional public key encryption using pgp(1)
=09- ....many many more
=09
=09Oh, restoring an archive just requires few keystrokes. The=
same
=09is valid for creating backups.
=09After having been disappointed with quite some backup prog=
rams
=09available, I eventually wrote this one on my own (well, it=
's not
=09my first try...). I hope you'll like it.

[ Moderator's note: This came before I had time to send out t=
he original
notice. Some good came out of my sluggishness. ]
WARNING:
If you have already downloaded KBackup, please note the follo=
wing bug:
The "Retension Tape" function is faulty and will erase your t=
ape.
I have fixed this and re-uploaded a corrected version.=20
I am sorry for any inconvenience this might have caused.=20
