i tried again (having been assured that it works with 6.10 by http://ubuntu.blog.de/) and this time the 'sudo screen' appeared and sbackup started. in the 'destination' tab the dialog for the selection of 'custom local backup directory' is somewhat unusual (/media/xx instead of /dev/hdaxx) but works.
therefore: sbackup works but: - with default /var/backups it remains dangerous because it fills partition to 100% and then the system blocks and cannot be restarted - - the dialog to select the destination is awkward sorry for being somewhat rash - but any situation where you find your system not starting is uncomfortable (to say the least). please correct this (check to leave some space on the system partition!) thanks! -- backup on other device not possible (not root?) https://launchpad.net/bugs/82011 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
