Not a very good article. He only talks about Konserve which is a KDE
front end to tar.
"One problem is that it doesn't seem possible to filter files to be
backed up; it's everything in the source directory or nothing. Also,
each backup set is complete; the program doesn't have an explicit
option to perform incremental backups. (I also looked at the Keep
Backup system, which had a similar set of options but also many of the
same limitations.)"

He does not mention that tar, rsync, and other command line tools have
advanced filtering capabilities. He also fails to mention other backup
solutions on Linux.
