Backup software - which one?

Need advice re backup software from my laptop to a USB drive.

Must be simple to back up, and simple to restore if needed.

I am fairly technically challenged :-)

Suse 10.3, KDE.

Recommendations?

T.I.A.

Maybe you like mine?

restore is with a simple `tar xzvf tarfile` command.

If you like this i can adjust the file for your needs.
