Package: backintime-common Version: 1.0.6-1 Severity: normal Yesterday I found out that backintime did not perform backups since I upgraded to wheezy. My cron script did not send a warning so I was curious why backups silently fail.
It seems that backintime does not print warnings to stderr, so redirecting output to /dev/null also dismisses any warnings: ----- # /usr/bin/backintime -b > /dev/null # /usr/bin/backintime -b Back In Time Version: 1.0.6 Back In Time comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY. This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it under certain conditions; type `backintime --license' for details. INFO: The application needs to change the backup format. Start the GUI to proceed. (As long as you do not you will not be able to make new snapshots!)
