It would be useful to have a backup tool integrated with the desktop.
I found Back In Time (http://backintime.le-web.org/) very useful, and like its concept, but I find it not very integrated with my KDE desktop.

An integrated backup tool should let you run it from a directory open in dolphin, so you can see and recover backups of that dir.

It should also be available under the actions for an external hard disk, so you can quickly setup it for your backups, and since our desktop "knows" when an external hard disk is plugged or not, it should be able to do the "right thing" when we plug or unplug our external hard disks.

It should use the usual notifications and progress bars to inform us of events and of the progress of backups, and should let you pause, resume or stop backup jobs from these notifications, as we do when copying files.

When we don't plug our external hard disk used for backups for a long time, it should display us a notification, remembering us to plug the disk to do the backup.
