Source for KDar under Gutsy

[luggw1]

Back before I used Kubuntu I used to use KDar to back up my data. Since I switched, I've not been able to find a source for the package. Where should I point aptitude to find it? Or is there another backup application out there that is as good or better for a home computer type application? FWIW, I'm backing up to and NAS device (basically another computer with a big HDD).

Thanks.

It may or may not work with Gutsy.

kdar Edgy Problem with Solution

When you try to install kdar you will get the following error

The following packages have unmet dependencies.
kdar: Depends: libdar3c2a but it is not installable E: Broken packages

Solution1

If you are seeing the above error you need to download libdar3c2a from dapper packages and install this package.

Maybe this works with Gutsy.

Description:
The "KDE Disk archiver" (KDar) is a disk-based archiving and backup utility.

This is the eighth release in the KDar-2.0 series. KDar-2.0.7 fixes a bug in the command export -A option where archive extensions were not trimmed.

Peter Landgren has provided an update of the Swedish translation which corrects some misspellings.
