Limitations, Bugs

Well, all limitations of the archive tools used by KBACKUP still apply. If e.g.  afio(1) has a bug, KBACKUP will have it, too.

Another serious limitation occurs when using  pgp(1) for encrypting archives. Pgp(1) creates temporary files during operation, so that, when using  tar(1) the maximum size of the archive is somehow limited by your free disk space in the directory for storing temporary files. Better use  afio(1) for writing encrypted archives, not  tar(1) .
