Re: [Nssbackup-team] [Question #140592]: restore/revert produces only empty folders
Question #140592 on Simple Backup changed: https://answers.launchpad.net/sbackup/+question/140592 olyerickson posted a new comment: Jean-Peer, thanks for your quick response! In my case I only make (nightly) full backups, so if I understand what you're saying there should be no real difference. In any case, doing "Restore As..." and "Revert As..." achieved the same result --- only empty folders. Maybe I'm missing something; here's what I've been trying to do: * Mount backup drive on second system * Use SBackup config to ensure SBackup "sees" the drive * Use SBackup restore to "Revert As..." a full snapshot of e.g. my "/home" to a directory on the second system e.g. "/home/lifeboat" At this point I see only folders... I can then select and revert individual files in the tree, but that gets really old for thousands of files :( You received this question notification because you are a member of Simple Backup Maintainers, which is an answer contact for Simple Backup. ___ 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
Re: [Nssbackup-team] [Question #130045]: Only single files or empty/incomplete folders are restored
Question #130045 on Simple Backup changed: https://answers.launchpad.net/sbackup/+question/130045 olyerickson posted a new comment: This thread is confusing; I am trying to restore from a backup and I am getting only empty folders, but the solution does not appear to be to use revert instead of restore. They produce the same results: a bunch of empty folders... This is really discouraging for me; I really need to prove that I can recover from an SBackup-based backup! So far, not very encouraging... -- You received this question notification because you are a member of Simple Backup Maintainers, which is an answer contact for Simple Backup. ___ 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

Question #140592 on Simple Backup changed: https://answers.launchpad.net/sbackup/+question/140592 olyerickson posted a new comment: I have precisely the same problem. I'm trying to restore selected archived directory trees onto another machine; SBackup successfully restores the selected directory structures but not the files contained therein. I am able to restore individual files. As Tiriz says, "there is no way I can restore each one manually!" Please tell us we're missing something? -- You received this question notification because you are a member of Simple Backup Maintainers, which is an answer contact for Simple Backup. ___ 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
