Version: (using KDE 4.4.0) OS: Linux Installed from: Gentoo Packages I'm using KDE 4.4.0 with akonadi-server-1.3.1 using Postgres as database backend. That works pretty good as far as I can tell, but I cannot make backups of my data, which makes me a bit nervous. When I click the akonadi tray icon and say "Make backup..." I get a message that mysqldump or bzip2 are not installed. bzip2 is installed, mysqldump not, but surely mysqldump is not the right tool for dumping postgres databases. Here you want to use the pg_dump tool, and that is installed. I guess that the postgres support is not completely ready right now. If that's the case, take this report as feature request.
I'm just getting started with KDE development, but i have a plan to address this issue. And i'll propose a patch to the kde-pim team soon.
The patch for backup works. It is under review and not committed yet. I'm starting work on restore.
