Using one profile and several backup folders: Just to report before I go to beta 16 as I just finished testing, I found that (using a smaller backup /home/me/Documents/FOO and /etc, it made no difference which order they were in. The home folder always retained the FOO, but the etc/BOO file would always delete the BOO. I then tested two files from the home folder, the FOO as above, and /home/me/Downloads/ZOO. In this case, both the FOO and ZOO would be deleted as expected. When I added the /etc/BOO to the snapshot, then only the BOO was deleted, leaving both the FOO and ZOO files in the home folder.
The etc alone in its own profile deletes as expected. I will upgrade to beta 16 and let you know. Dan wrote: > Hi cliff6056, > > Just to be sure that I have it right: > > 1.

Status in Back In Time: Fix Committed Bug description: The classic example of this is when Back In Time backs up your desktop. For example. I create a file called 'foo' on my desktop to write some quick notes in. I create a snapshot, and '~/Desktop/foo' is now stored in 'Snapshot1'. I delete 'foo' from my Desktop, as I no longer need the file. I create another snapshot 'Snapshot2'. 'Foo' is still listed in 'Snapshot2' as a file (although obviously it hasn't changed). For each snapshot that is taken after this, 'foo' will always be listed as a file in the snapshot, and never removed from the series of backups. What should happen is, 'foo' should be stored in 'Snapshot1', but should not be stored in 'Snapshot2'. When 'Snapshot1' is deleted (either manually or automatically), 'foo' is no longer backed up through back in time, as it no longer exists on the system. The only current workaround I have found, is manually deleting the files I want to be removed from snapshots, so they are not included in the next sync. _______________________________________________ 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
