Hi Folks,

The first stable version of KDar has arrived. 

KDar is the "KDE Disk archiver", a disk-based archiving and backup utility.
 
KDar is built around the "disk archive library" by Denis Corbin, and is 
similar in function to his DAR program. DAR is somewhat analogous to the 
tape archiver shell command "tar", but is more suited for backups onto 
disk-based media, such as CD-R's, DVD's, Jazz, Zip, other hard-drives, 
etc. 
 
KDar can perform differential backups, which means that it can quickly 
store the differences between a recent full backup and the current state 
of your filesystem. An archive browser easily lets you see the contents of 
your saved data.
 
A sophisticated file filtering mechanism allows you to select which files 
and directories to backup or restore, and which files to compress.
 
Furthermore, a small catalog can be extracted from the archive, which means 
you don't need your archive CD's to do a differential backup of the entire 
filesystem. You just need to store the much smaller catalog file on your 
filesystem. 
 
See http://kdar.sourceforge.net for screenshots and more info.
You can grab version 1.0.0 from http://sourceforge.net/projects/kdar

Enjoy,
JB
