Thank you for using sbackup and for taking the time reporting this bug. The order of backup creation and removal of existing snapshots was choosen by intent: 1. make a new backup 2. in case of success remove old snapshots
Reason for this is, that you don't want to end with *no* backup at all in case of errors. Image following situation: all snapshots were removed (since they are older than the specified threshold). The subsequent backup fails for whatever reason. You'd have lost all of your backups now and this is not acceptable. I set this issue to Opinion and please feel free to add comments or elaborate on your usecase or possible solutions from user's perspective. There is room for improvements here but simply change the order of backup creation and removal is not the right solution, I think. Thank you so much for your help. ** Changed in: sbackup Status: New => Opinion ** Changed in: sbackup Importance: Undecided => Wishlist -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Simple Backup Maintainers, which is subscribed to sbackup. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/913827 Title: should delete old backups, then create new / not enough space on media To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/sbackup/+bug/913827/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~nssbackup-team Post to : nssbackup-team@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~nssbackup-team More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
