Hi Jean-Peer, I'll be installing 13.04 in a couple of weeks (will be spending 6 hours in the train to Berlin -> perfect time), and will be happy to test things then and there. (At the same time, I may start looking into Mint.) Groetjes, Anton. -- You received this bug notification because you a

Thanks to all for reporting this issue. I'll look into it and fix it asap! Sorry for any inconvinience. @Alvin Ho (alfkh): maybe it is better to stick to a LTS version (currently 12.04) with long term support and stability? As a side note from the developer view: same holds for me...things are wo

Just as info. I have exactly the same problem since I upgraded to Ubuntu 13.04. Backup to the standard folder on the laptop works but a new destination cannot be set. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Simple Backup Maintainers, which is subscribed to sbackup. http

I am running Xubuntu 13.04 and have the same issue. Xubuntu uses Thunar not Nautilus so I don't think that is the cause, unless they happen to be using a common library. If I set the custom backup location and save and restart app the location is not saved. The only workaround I can think of is to

I've done a different workaround. I replaced the config file for sbackup with the one from 12.04, and edited it to match the new environment. In a terminal window, I run "gksudo /usr/bin/sbackup-config-gtk" (which enables admin/root so that a scheduled backup can be done). This opens the sbackup

Workaround avail, albeit not a very nice 1. Fortunately for me, i installed a 12.04.2LTS partition on the same disk. I managed to boot into that partition & restore my data to it. Since it was not a lot of data, I was able to restore it without too much pain. I'm quite a newbie at this, so to me,

I have the same problem as the bug desc. I backed up my data in 12.10, reinstalled my machine to 13.04. In order to do a restore, i need it to recognize my backup drive ie external drive. Now i'm stuck without my data. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Simple Backu

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 ques

Dear Anton, I am using sbackup as root, because I want to have regular scheduled backups and that has not been possible with "normal" user access. Specifically, nothing has changed in my directory structures at all, the only change being from 12.10 to 13.04. All my folder names are alphabetical

Dear Roger, Are you using sbackup as root (super-user) or as (regular) user? Are there any special (non alphabetical) characters in your directory name(s)? Could you check if you can set the desired local backup target using the configuration file (/etc/sbackup.conf for root, or ~/.config/sbacku
