Alternately, you could just setup a cron job to tar the contents of $KDEHOME every so often. Or a VCS could be used.

I never really tried backups, but when I wanted to I took a look at Keep. It was pretty good.

What I'd like in a backup program is KIO support.

I was thinking of a similar thing... my original idea was a simple shell program that compress into a bz2 archive the /home/ directory and save a list of the installed programs to reinstall them automatically (i use ubuntu, so it's really simple to do this a thing). I think that this idea would be really useful for linux users, expecially an automatic recovery of the programs for distros that have a package system. I' would be happy to help writing such a program.

Kup Backup System is great for backup of /home with all apps and KDE settings

2017 - A simple and powerful backup tool is still relevant and lacking in KDE . KDE should ship with an integrated tool like this.

Kup is really really good. Check it out.

Too true, kup is great. Note however, that instead of trying to start on its own you'll find a backup section in systemsettings

EDIT:
Also getting bup onto my testing install was not as straight forward as expected but since things are running smoothly.
