As an aside, it is possible to run sbackup scheduled as user using crontab, but this cannot be configured from within the Simple Backup Config tool. I use Gnome Schedule tool to set it up. The commandline that you want to run is '/usr/share/sbackup/sbackup-launch'.
Back to your original/other question: The sbackup config for root can be found in /etc/sbackup.conf It should look something like: [log] file = /var/log/sbackup/sbackup.log level = 20 [places] prefix = /usr [schedule] anacron = daily [dirconfig] /var/run/ = 0 /var/cache/ = 0 /var/ = 1 /home/feenstra/ = 1 /var/tmp/ = 0 /usr/local/ = 1 /etc/ = 1 /var/spool/cups = 0 [general] target = /media/backup-disk/backups format = gzip followlinks = 0 purge = log maxincrement = 30 lockfile = /var/lock/sbackup/sbackup.lock splitsize = 0 [report] from = SBackup Daemon <feenstra@ext> [exclude] regex = \.avi$,\.mpeg$,\.mkv$,\.iso$,/home/[^/]+?/\.gvfs/,/home/[^/]+?/\.thumbnails/,/home/[^/]+?/\..+/[tT]rash/,/home/[^/]+?/\..+/[cC]ache/,~$,\.vdi$,\.tmp$,/home/[^/]+?/\..+/[tT]mp/,Thumbs.db*,/home/[^/]+?/[Tt]mp/,/home/[^/]+?/\.[cC]ache/ -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Simple Backup Maintainers, which is subscribed to sbackup. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1179080 Title: sBackup unable to be configured for external media destination To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/sbackup/+bug/1179080/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~nssbackup-team Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~nssbackup-team More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
