Public bug reported:
Hi
And thanks for a great application!
I have noticed an issue with scheduled backups with snapshots on an external
(USB) drive when the drive is not attached to the system.
As per design, if Back-in-time can't find the snapshot folder it shall wait for
30 seconds and try again. When the scheduled backup starts and the drive is not
attached, the flashing icon appears in the tray and a tooltip informs that
snapshot folder is not found and that it is waiting 30 seconds. However, when
the drive is attached no snapshot is taken.
These are my observations (now with the drive attached):
- When I attach the drive, nothing happens with back-in-time, the icon
continues to flash.
- When I run backintime the button "Take snapshot" is disabled and the gutter
says "Working: Can't find snapshots folder. If it is on a removable drive
please plug it. Waiting 30 seconds.". Note, however, that my snapshots are now
indeed visible in the left frame of the application window.
- I must kill back-in-time (or reboot) in order to be able to take another
snapshot
I run:
Ubuntu Karmic
Back In Time 0.9.99beta10
The following are the entries related to backintime I have found in the logs
(user.log and syslog):
Jan 26 15:15:03 localhost backintime (niklas): INFO: Lock
Jan 26 15:15:03 localhost backintime (niklas): INFO: [GnomePlugin.Systray.run]

All the best
