+Hello,
+
+Do we have a preferred/integrated backup program yet?
+
+I have used drakbackup in the past.  It was simple to configure and had
+few dependencies (no sql databases).  The files were also simple gzipped
+tar archives, which made getting a file out easy, but very time
+consuming, no matter where I was.
+
+I noticed that drakbackup was missing from the repositories (didn't
+check backports or testing) and the "icon" for it is gone from the
+Control Center.  We we be "porting" it over?
+
+I wouldn't mind seeing an updated drakbackup program, maybe using dar
+instead of tar.  Dar is much faster than tar at getting information out
+of a large (>1GiB) archive.
+
+Thank you,
+
+Jeff
