The BM_TARBALL_DIRECTORIES variable at /etc/backup-manager.conf does not support spaces in path names. For such a case one has to use the BM_TARBALL_TARGETS array variable.
This is stated both in the ...-doc package user guide (at /usr/share/doc /backup-manager-doc/) and inside the configuration file in the comments around the declaration of this variable. The configuration dialog also gives a hint when speaking about "space separated list of directories" (you can have a space inside a name, when space is the separator). This bug should be closed IMO. If you believe that path-with-spaces support is not adequately advertised as is, then file a wishlist bug against the package to include support for BM_TARBALL_TARGETS during 'dpkg-reconfigure' time. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/503851 Title: not handling directory-names with spaces properly To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/backup-manager/+bug/503851/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
