A good alternative to draksnapshot is backintime. It's even better. 

I am using it to do my daily backup.

It has a GUI for Gnome/Gtk, and one for KDE. I guess it wouldn't be that difficult to integrate it into drakxtools, would it?

$ urpmq -r backintime-gnome backintime-common
backintime-common-1.0.8-1.mga2
backintime-gnome-1.0.8-1.mga2

And upgrading the backintime rpm package to the last version 1.0.22 should be a great idea. :=)

I update it for Mageia 3 and cauldron soon.

I remove the junior_job as the script which updates the list seems no more working (Anne tried for 3 weeks or so and she told on irc it didn't have change anything)

(I can open another bug if needed)

See #10244 for backintime update.

as blino told on irc would be better to fix draksnapshot, so i cancel my commit ask

draksnapshot has been fixed not to crash, see bug 3032.
You can probably keep it in the menu.
