Not really, no. I've used it in the past as a quick way to back up data.
I use rsync so much now that I simply overlooked tar.

Linux Mint 8 - Helena:

I've just downloaded and installed: Seems to work as expected here.

http://sourceforge.net/projects/synkron/files/synkron%20%28Linux%20builds%29/1.6.0/Synkron_1.6.0-2.i386.deb/download


P.S.

May as well test if the link wraps using current settings.

Gawd, have I trodden on hallowed ground?

I'm no expert on Linux/BSD backups, but the few GUI progs [and it was a
while ago] that I have tried sucked so bad they could have made Bearware. I
'discovered' tar, and it works for me. Granted my needs aren't great on
these platforms.

Nah. Just jerking your chain. Think emacs versus vi... or MSOS vs
Linux... <grin>
