Summary
KBackup is a basic backup program which works well. It’s difficult to recommend though given that it’s missing important functionality.
If your data has value to you, making regular backups is a necessity. That practice is not, in itself, sufficient to protect your data. You actually need to test the backups to make sure they actually work.
Backup software should provide multiple options for restoring your data, including restoring to its original location or a different location under your control.
