Oops! Aigars, I'm sorry it does seem to work without a colon now(!). It is just the root-based path that I find unintuitive, then, I guess (though I could have sworn I tried that earlier... :( )
It would be best if the user did not have to experiment much to figure it out, ie to guess what "remote/dir" means. I think your string ssh://username:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/home/user/backupdir is clearer. -- sbackup remote target fails https://launchpad.net/bugs/44260 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
