You said it stopped working "fresh installation of openSUSE 11.2". Before it was working ? On the same version ? If it fails only on openSUSE 11.2 I can try it on a VBox.
-- BiT continually stuck on Comparing snapshot...and permission problems https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/506876 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: New Bug description: I'm posting this as requested by Dan on the Answers section https://answers.launchpad.net/backintime/+question/97137 BiT seems to have stopped working for me on a fresh installation of openSUSE 11.2. It seems to create the first snapshot fine but thereafter just gets stuck on Comparing snapshot. I have it configured to take a snapshot once every hour. I have the default excludes and tried adding .gvfs as an exclude (as mentioned in another thread) but couldn't. When I run BiT from the terminal as "backintime -b" it seems to run fine except I get a lot of permission denied errors. See output below.
