Keep
Source (link to git-repo or to original if based on someone elses unmodified work): Add the source-code for this project on opencode.net
Keep is a simple backup system for KDE.
The principe is pretty simple: you choose a directory to backup, you choose the directory in which you want to backup it, you set up some options (eg. frequency) and it's done! Of course you can add later some other directories.
A daemon will after take care of automatically perform backups when it's needed.
When the time comes, Keep offers you a simple wizard to recover a previously backuped directory.
It uses rdiff-backup (http://www.nongnu.org/rdiff-backup/) as backend.
Version 0.3.0 adds error, logging and notification management.
Keep still need some motivated C++/Qt coders. There is some important tasks to do: improve the log viewer, improve the notification system, implement the include and exclude file management, implement the network located backup mode...

Under backup options I set "Never Delete" and to "Use compression" under Extra options.
But keep will not compress any files!
The program freezes up when you select the sources to backup and click ok, you can not shut it down or cancel what you have started.
It is scrambling some of the file names when I backup to a memory stick that is fat32 formated,it's okay on a linux ext3 system. The file names look like this:
;074otter.down
;078otes.political
;080ictures
What is this???
Keep added the ";" and changed some of the letters in the file names to numbers?
Help please.TIA fireboy

He did not mention leaving it die, but did say he'd very much like seeing someone come and take over development of Keep.
So, I think the answer to your question is: if someone steps forward and takes over the porting.
I sure hope so. I fell in love with Keep's simplicity and usability :]
P.S. In that e-mail I asked him if he could include support for pre- and post- scripts (to e.g. mount and unmount en external disk if present). He likes the idea, but has not the time.

Operation not permitted? The location wwhere i wanna back up to has permissions set to 777:

What does "just make sure permissions aren't too lax" mean?
Thanks!

I have a small issue: when I backup my files to en external disc (My Book Essential; FAT32) and keep turns all the uppercase chars into code something like this ;XXX (example ;068).
If I make a directory with Dolphin it makes it just fine. I'm using Kubuntu 8.04 with KDE4.

In other words: I *REALLY* want to turn off the daemon permanently. How can this be done? I thought simply clicking the button in keep would do it. Apparently it didn't. Am I the only one with this issue? (I have seen few people actually having difficulties to get it running automatically).
Any ideas/suggestions would be highly welcome.

I am doing backups over my network using smb4k.
I have set different backup folders. One folder is my wifes and one is mine. All my files are in English, and I have no problems backing them up. Now my wife puts files in her folder with Russian titles in Russian, and keep kicks out an error.
I'm not in front of my computer right now, but I could get the error and post it here if its needed.
So would this be caused by something at the OS lever of app?
Any ideas how I could fix it?
I'm sure the error would be helpful, so I will post it when I can.

Is it because Keep is stripping one of the fowards slashes that follows the smb portion of the URI?
Any ideas? I am able to run backups to the same location using Konserve. I would prefer to use Keep because Konserve does not seem to have an option to run incremental backups.
Any help would be appreciated
