This directory includes some tools that are helpful or required when using
KBackup. For their copyrights and conditions of use, see their respective
Linux Software Map entries, the *.lsm files.
afio, Version 2.4.2:
Afio is the preferred handler for backups. If you don't have it
installed yet, you should do so. It is definitely MUCH better than
tar, although somehow less tested.
If you are still using version 2.4.1 or older, upgrade to this. It
offers you support for encryption.
dialog, Version 0.4:
Dialog is the interface program used by KBackup. Without it you can
only run KBackup in ttymode.
A newer version, still in beta, might be available from:
ftp://foggy.systemy.it/pub/dialog
pgp:
Pgp is a public key encryption program. For legal reasons, I cannot
distribute it with KBackup. You have to get it from somewhere else.
For information, I include its manual page pgp.1 here. Using pgp
might be illegal in some countries.
One place where you can get it is: ftp://ftp.th-darmstadt.de/pub/security/pgp
