[Bit-team] [Bug 493838] [NEW] Support encryption

2009-12-07 Thread topdownjimmy
Public bug reported: Back In Time has some terrific advantages over other popular backup solutions, particularly its scheduling options and snapshot viewer. The one thing that keeps me from using it, however, is its lack of support for encryption. Because I prefer to keep my backups on an extern

Perhaps "Refresh view" is better because "Refresh snapshots" can still mean to perform a new snapshot. On Mon, Dec 7, 2009 at 9:21 AM, Dan wrote: > The button is there for people who start BIT before plugging-in the > external drive. This button force to refresh the GUI. > I agree, "Refresh snap

The button is there for people who start BIT before plugging-in the external drive. This button force to refresh the GUI. I agree, "Refresh snapshots" is a better name. ** Changed in: backintime Status: Confirmed => Fix Committed -- Update snapshot button causes confusion https://bugs.la

Upstream we use gksu, it is changed to su-to-root in the ubuntu packages, however it seems to be a very neat solution for a common encountered problem. Are there any strong arguments not to switch upstream, eg what is the availability of su-to-root on other distributions, like Suse, or Fedora, or i

Well it supports FAT32, that is not the problem. We state clearly though that FAT32 does not support hardlinks, so BiT will use much more space on a FAT32 drive than on Ext2/3/4 or NTFS. The 4 GB limit of FAT32 is another characteristic of FAT32 why we think that it is not recommended to use as a B

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://

2009-12-07 Thread Bart de Koning
Public bug reported: I'm running Ubuntu 9.10 / Back in Time 0.9.26. When I select "Take Snapshot" a snapshot is generated as expected. When I select "Update Snapshot" nothing happens even though I know several tens of files have changed since the initial snapshot. I checked the backup destinatio

We might have to change the name of the button, because I have seen this question before: the update button is to update the GUI view, to update your snapshots you have to push the take snapshot button. Probably refresh is a better name ** Changed in: backintime Status: New => Confirmed
