[Bug 360432] Re: simple-backup writes into /media/ if disk not found
The problem here as I see it is that the program is supposed to know that in /media/XXX there are pointers to other medias, and not even try to create a folder or write into that folder if the media itself does not exist. I don't know if i had the suspend if media doesn't exist checked, but it looks like that this would have happened also if the checkbox was checked. -- simple-backup writes into /media/ if disk not found https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/360432 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Perhaps sbackup should be changed so when a backup target is declared it should stamp the target directory with a stamp file there declare the target as an target for backups. When sbackup starts backing up it should precheck for the stamp file. If the stamp file is missing it should notify the user before doing the backup. nssbackup has this functionality. The backup directory is created when set for the first time, and *no* directory will be created during backup. So, if the directory is not there, no backup is made. nssbackup is still in alpha state, however, and we're working on merging in sbackup (or its features) into it.
