Backup tool

This is a design sketch for a backup tool I would like to have. If I had the time I would probably make it myself, I think it would be a good projekt to learn KDevelop and QT with.

Anyway, someone *must* have made a utility like this allready so please let me know if you know about any good backup tools that work as described in the design sketches below (made in QT designer).

Mail me at nyrell@lysator.liu.se.

Design sketches

This is the main window. Here one can select what profiles to backup.

This is the settingsdialog. Here one can choose the default directory for the backup files, and also the date command that will create a timestamp that will be appended at the end of the backup files.

Here's the dialog where one edits the backup profiles.

Here's the dialog that comes up when "Backup now" button is pressed. The program takes the settings for all of the selected profiles and creates a simple backupscript that can be executed or saved to disk for later use.

That's it!
