I agree, BIT should warn the user when it select to backup on a FAT32 drive (max 4G per file and no hard-links). A better option for a windows/linux filesystem is NTFS: is support bigger files/drives and hard-links.
-- Backup ends when a file > 4gb should be saved on a FAT32 filesystem https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/478429 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Back In Time Team, which is subscribed to Back In Time. Status in Back In Time: Confirmed Bug description: Bug: When I want to backup a folder that contains files with a size > 4gb. - The backup ends at this file. - That happens because FAT32 can not handle files that are > 4gb. - The user gets no message and beliefs that all files were saved without failures. My suggestion: -A message should appear that the file xyz* could not be saved because FAT32 can only handle files with a size < 4gb. - The backup should continue. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~bit-team Post to : bit-team@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~bit-team More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
