OK as long as you can migrate the backup from an old computer to a new one. Maybe in the future we can provide a migration tool, but until then ... You are right, the battery should be a standard option not an advanced one. Regards, Dan On Wed, Dec 2, 2009 at 1:26 PM, Bart wrote: > OK should

OK should be possible to implement, I take a slight variation to your proposal and write the possibility to include another folder based on your recommendations. We avoid the possibility that someone accidentally make a new snapshot into that folder, and even (in a worse-case scenario) smart-remove

Hi, We can recommend not to backup using advanced features. But for the moment this is easy to do and can help migration from one computer to another. I see it like a dialog with a checkbox to enable/disable and the 3 combos: host, user, profile. Each combo will update based on other. Ex: host co

I actually meant to include the --delete-excluded again, as I guess that would solve the ghost folders problem :-) -> I once removed it because it caused breaking of the hardlinks, especially between different scheduled tasks. So you mean you should be able to include snapshot folders from other l

Hey all, I support a new release: the sooner the better, because a lot of bugs and questions that are now appearing are already saved or implemented! But it might still be a good idea to launch a beta first, for a couple of weeks. I think we should do that not on our official repository but more a

Hi Dan, I looked at the ionice option when I first came to BiT, but I didn't work on it, no. I see where the schedule per included setting causes a lot of headache. Now that BiT has profiles support this option is most likely not needed any more so I support it's removal. The part I was working
