DESCRIPTION
Kbackup is a program that lets you back up any directories or files. It uses
an easy to use directory tree to select the things to back up and lets you
save your settings in "profile" files. These are simple textfiles containing
definitions for directories and files to be included or excluded from the
backup process.
USAGE

APPLICATION OPTIONS
Generic options:
--help Show help about options
--help-qt Show Qt specific options
--help-kde Show KDE specific options
--help-all Show all options
--author Show author information
-v, --version Show version information
--license Show license information
Arguments:
profile Start with given profile
