Searching for a simple backup program

[Van_Vinkle]

Hi, salixers!

Following this forum for a while, the time of install and use Salix has come. After the greeting I ask for help with the first -minor- issue.

I was searching for a simple backup tool. Two programs appear to fit: backintime and luckybackup. The first is in Gslapt: I installed it, but no luck: it doesn't run.

The second one is in Sourcery. Again fiasco: when compiling it crashes. Because I think luckybackup is, for my needs, better, I tried to compile from source directly. But again a problem: It needs qt4 and this is not in the salix repos, which has surprised me a lot.

Then I've thought to ask for advice in this forum. How can I get a simple backup tool?

Thanks for your attention.

Not much of a report here, so not much help can be given.

Crashes? What crashes? When? How?

Because I think luckybackup is, for my needs, better, I tried to compile from source directly. But again a problem: It needs qt4 and this is not in the salix repos, which has surprised me a lot.

The package is named qt.

In any case, rsync is all that's needed in my opinion for backups. Its GUI, grsync works well too.

The nub of the matter was qt. I've installed it (which I thought it was not the same as qt4) and the compilation through sourcery has been fine. Now luckybackup is in my system.

Thanks for your prompt answer.

Regards.
