Well, I believe KBACKUP is well tested by now. Except for the BLOCKDEV device type, most features have already been in the previous releases and therefore do not contain any completely new code. Of course, I have tried to test it as much as I could before releasing it. But, I can only test KBACKUP in my working environment with my hardware and my software setup. Although I have fixed all reported problems from previous versions, there might still be one with your setup. So, before relying on KBACKUP , test it for yourself! Make a small backup and check whether you can successfully restore it (I recommend you using the ``/tmp'' partition, not your real data directories.).
These comments apply to backup software in general, not only to KBACKUP . So don't be frightened, I believe it is safe to use and trust it for my own backup needs.
