thank you very much for your kind message Fernando, I really appreciate it :)
True, LB was once maintained by Fink but undfortunately not any more:

Hi Larry,
your arguments look correct.
I tried a similar setup and it worked as it should
eg
empty include_filelist.txt -> nothing backed-up
absolute paths -> backup only specific files, ok
absolute + relative paths -> backup only specific files, ok
Just in case: Could you please double check that the files that are not part of your filelist-relative.test.txt file do get transferred when only this task runs ?
You can empty the destination directory or just change one of the files that is supposed to be excluded and give it another go to test this...

Hi Sam,
Unfortunately LB does not integrate with ubuntu one.
A good (general) workaround is to mount the cloud locally (eg using "cloudfuse" or "davfs2") but that has to be supported by the cloud service.

Hi Gandon,
thank you for the nice words no matter whether you use LB :)
Indeed, hard links is quite a smart solution for multiple snapshots and is even used by another powerful tool: "rsnapshot".
I wish I'd thought about that from the beginning. Technically it's not easy any more to change the overall snapshot behavior of LB, the first releases might include several bugs plus there will be compatibility issues with backups created with older versions.
Still, I do consider this change a good idea !!
...so here it goes under the official to-do list:
http://luckybackup.sourceforge.net/todo.html
I know it's low priority, but it involves a lot of work to be done and it all depends on how the development will go this year.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`
Also have in mind, that data backed up with LB can still be restored without the use of any app but this is limited only for the very last snapshot created. |

This issue came up after a specific upgrade of QT.
The fix will be available at the very next official release of LB (0.4.8)
thank you for the kind words Nick :) |

Jan 7 2013 on content luckyBackup |
Hi Nick
a couple of questions first:
1. Does this happen at normal run or during a schedule ?
2. Are the tasks de-selected when you run the app or do you manually de-select them and then click run ?
If this happens during a normal run and the tasks are deselected by default (eg you run luckybackup and then click "run" without changing anything) try to:
a. select and de-select each task once but also select the task item (name of the task gets highlighted) before changing the check-box
b. save the profile
c. give it another go |
