Bug ID: 406566
Summary: Kbackup needs root privileges to be able to backup to
removable media
Product: kbackup
Version: unspecified
Platform: Neon Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: kol...@aon.at
Reporter: dequ...@mykolab.com
Target Milestone: ---
Trying to back up to today's portable media (MicroSD or USB) does not work with
Kbackup, since root privileges are needed to write to mounted removable
storage.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Insert USB thumb drive
2. Set up Kbackup to backup some stuff
3. Set target as USB drive
OBSERVED RESULT
User gets an error that the destination could not be opened or written to.
EXPECTED RESULT
User gets prompted for superuser password. User's stuff gets backed up, thereby
making Kbackup actually useful for using with removable media.
