I need a simple GUI tool to do a backup with rsync on a external USB or NAS device. Ideally I want to be able to just press a button to backup changed and new files and the same to revert. I don't want to use tar files as I find them a pain, but thats what everything seems to use.
Can anyone suggest a package to do this? I found one called Krsync but it's not in portage.

Thanks, just what I was looking for. Unfortunately it seg faults as soon as I add a new session!

this isn't really an ideal fix for your problem, but i'm having the same issue. if you just start the program again after it segfaults, you can pick up where you left off. the new session is there, just continue as normal.
