flexbackup :
- no debconf use for configuration (really not userfriendly for
Debian to me)
- moreover the conffile is huge and not that easy to understand
afbackup :
- a selfmade client / server implementation which requires
knowledge and which is less easy than using ftp or ssh
accounts.
backup2l :
- no debconf use for configuration
- conffile a little bit long
Well, to conclude, I really think taht even if backup-manager is not as
powerful as others, it is definetly the most easy to use one.
. The first point is the 100% debconf use for configuration.
. Second point is that backup-manager uses existing architectures for
transfert : ftp or ssh.
. Third point is that backup-manager provide simple actions and then is
really simple to use.
This is the feedback I had from users.
I think that backup-manager is designed for people who :
- want to backup a short list of directories.
- don't want a huge factory for making 3 tarballs.
- want to keep those tarballs on a list of remote hosts.
- use existing ftp or ssh accounts for transfert.
- want a cron mail only if something went wrong.
- don't want to make a new dirty bash script for that.
- want to run the stuff after answering debconf questions without
editing any files.
I think that this is not provided by existing packages in Debian, and
that's why I sent an ITP.
Tell me if I'm wrong.
