1.7 Reliability...a warning

Well, I believe KBACKUPis well tested by now.

Of course, I have tried to test it as much as I could before releasing it. But, I can only test KBACKUPin my working environment with my hardware and my software setup. Although I have fixed all reported problems from previous versions, there might still be one with your setup. So, before relying on KBACKUP, test it for yourself! Make a small backup and check whether you can successfully restore it (I recommend you using the ``/tmp'' partition, not your real data directories.).

These comments apply to backup software in general, not only to KBACKUP. So don't be frightened, I believe it is safe to use and trust it for my own backup needs.

So far I have received some hundred mails concerning KBACKUP, therefore most bugs should be fixed.
