Thanks. Why isn't KDAR or other backup a default install? System tools area should have this choice and ability to do graphical delete option/choices for setup of a method of delete of tmp files as well.
The best backup I have ever seen is one that does bit level over the network backups. Two systems in two buildings over old RS-232 based wireless (38k) where the two mirrored computers would synch via this bit level backup (as files changed in one they changed in the other), all wireless so that lightning and fire risk most likely would not have a problem with either. Hey at bit level this backup technique over slow RS232 was fine (wireless or modem). This same software would allow for instant plug into network synch of laptops with desktop or server data files as well.
Very cool.
Some day someone will have all these features as part of a default install, that will no blow up with kernel or other updates, and is supported from a fine company like Novell.
Note: Novell's top software choice from users in their latest attempt to figure out what Windows programs that folks want to run on LINUX had Quickbooks at the top! Novell could do their own version, saddle up to the CPA (accountants) to have them be their VARs (most do some level of computer software support these days anyway).... and sell support and important Payroll TAX update subscriptions as a revenue model for it (give away the accounting software YET still charge for updates, payroll tax updates, other tax updates that are jurisdiction dictated by the need causeed by tax laws and reporting responsibilties that change over time. EVERY SINGLE ONE of the accountants that I deal with HATE INTUIT because INTUIT is getting into their payroll service and tax businesses - they all are looking for an option with the ease of use that beats INTUIT...but as one said "there is nothing as easy as Quickbooks for his customers to use"... in fact he has a copy, gets the data files from his customers, plugs them in for the tax filings he needs to do. I wonder if Intuit cares that they have made every accountant in the US mad at them, or if they care... is Novell entered this business with a distro that would do accounting with support with ease of use, like Quickbooks AND they did it in partnership with the CPA's of the world... they would have a long long term business model that would be meat and potatos for a long time... as long as they did not push the growth idea and looked at it as just a service they would survive nicely (meaning that once they get greedy and increase fees or try to milk a cow for more than their share... they would then lose the valuable respect of their customers and the accountant partners who would be then embarassed by Novell's greedy actions.

KDAR (backup) should be DEFAULT? QUICKBOOKS idea!
