Yep , it can be a good feature to add . > By the way, I just noticed /etc/mtab in my backup... couldn't that cause a > conflict when restoring a full backup? > That's right, it could ( just like /etc/fstab if you have reformatted the whole computer , or even /etc/X11/xorg.conf if you have changed your graphic card .) . That's why sbackup does save the previous file to file.<date_before_backup> . so that you could restore the previous file. Problem is, I might find it helpful, but there might be others that would have sbackup to do exactly what they wanted and nothing more. So people should exclude the file they don't want to backup. -- Sbackup should exclude its own backups https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/116743 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
