The problem with tar (for me) is it creates a single big file. In my 
case, about 36GB big for my home directory. Too big for the older SMB 
support to move around on the network (haven't tried Etch's CIFS support 
yet). Hard to keep offline backups on optical media.

Of course, for the original poster's need to maintain a backup of his 
.kde folder, the backup file wouldn't be that large.
