Bug ID: 525582
Summary: KCM Backups does not write Backup type, paths
included, or destination path to kuprc
Classification: Applications
Product: kup
Version First 0.10.0
Reported In:
Platform: KDE Linux
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: major
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Target Milestone: ---
Ultimately, the backup doesn't save properly and there's no way to run it.
The problem is the KCM module, where it saves drive identity, exclusions, and
schedule type to `~/.config/kuprc`, but for me it's not writing `Backup type`,
`Paths included`, `Destination type`, or `External drive destination path`.
The resulting plan is incomplete and the daemon silently ignores it. Which
means there's no way to run a backup, if the button on the notification tray
is there "Save new backup" - clicking it does literally nothing and no error.
## Steps to reproduce
1. System Settings → Backups → enable, create a plan.
2. Schedule: Manual only.
3. Destination: external USB drive.
4. Backup type: Versioned (or Synchronized).
5. Sources: select directories under `/home`.
6. Apply.
7. Tray icon → Save new backup.
## Expected
Backup runs, or an error is shown.
## Actual
Nothing happens. Status stays at "This backup plan has never been run." No
error anywhere.
## Analysis
`~/.config/kuprc` after step 6:
```ini
[Plan/1]
Check backups=true
Description=Backup
External device description=Netac MobileDataStar
External drive UUID=08e1e612-fdff-4907-92e3-a5d006a447dd
External partition number=1
External partitions count=1
External volume capacity=250042572800
External volume label=CachyBackupLuks
Paths
excluded=/home/pedro/.cache,/home/pedro/.local/share/Trash,/home/pedro/.local/share/baloo
Schedule type=0
```
Keys required by `backupplan.cpp` but missing from the file:
- `Backup type`
- `Paths included`
- `Destination type`
- `External drive destination path`
