Until someone implemented, tested and documented it :-) > - Is there a workaround ? As was pointed out already: Use full backups, if not always, at least after serious changes to the OS or major file system reorganizations. > - Why are GUIs more important than fixing the greatest Bug ever? :) Probably because they are more interesting to the ones that count most in implementing new features: The developers. I can quite well understand that Kern, for example, prefers working on a new project, instead of spending his time on re-working old code, analyzing it again, and implementing things that consist of lots of bean-counting. (I could even imagine that your sort of question is not really the best approach to get Kern or any other developer to work on this feature...) Of course, I'm quite sure that offering serious money will help in finding a developer to implement the features you're missing... Regarding dump as an alternative: While dump is available and reliable for many file systems on many operating systems, it's output is far less portable than what Bacula produces, and it's not available for quite a number of real-life filesystems at all - *these* are a major problems for me (and many others, I think).
