Network Transparency | ||
| Prev | The Details about Konserve | Next |
Konserve uses standard KDE IO classes and is thus partly network transparent. It is for example possible to tranfer a backup to a remote ftp server. This can be achieved by setting the Archive field to something like: ftp://user@ftp.host.org/path/to/file/file.tar.gz
If you want to store all your backups on the server than use a url that points to a directory like: ftp://user@ftp.host.org/path/to/backups/. Konserve will give each backup a new unique name.
So far this is tested only for FTP. Unfortunately the restore functionality does not yet work for remote backups. If you have to restore a remote backup, please download it manually and open and extract it by hand (for example with ark or plain tar).
