Public bug reported:
In configuration tool: if specified target doesn't exist, the target
directory will be created:
this is a very undesired behaviour. Here is an example:
I use an external harddisk for storage of backups. This disk is
mounted under '/media/EXTHDD' and contains a directory for the backups.
At first I select the full target directory in configuration gui:
'/media/EXTHDD/backups'.
On another day the external disk is not connected to the machine. I launch
the
configuartion tool to check the settings i've made.
In the current implementation a new directory is created recursivly
under '/media/EXTHDD/backups' though no 'EXTHDD' is present.
Next day - without plugged in external disk:
The backup process is invoked automatically by cron-demon. Due to the
target directory exists and is fresh
and empty, a full backup is performed. The internal harddisk, where the
mountpoint '/media' is located, runs full,
the backup is lost, I get disappointed etc.
