Bug ID: 482495
Summary: For synchronized rsync backups, check for adequate
space ahead of time, before starting the backup
Classification: Applications
Product: kup
Version: unspecified
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Keywords: usability
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Target Milestone: ---
Kup built from source, against Qt6, on Plasma 6.
I did a backup using Kup today that ran out of space in the middle because I
used an external disk that was too small, oops. It failed to provide a
human-readable error message, for while I've also filed Bug 482494. But it got
me thinking: shouldn't it be able to tell ahead of time whether there's enough
space on the target? Since it's a synchronized backup, it knows how much space
the source folder takes up, so it should be able to compare this to the maximum
capacity of the target disk. So a running-out-of-space error should be
preventable before the backup even begins.
