How to install it? Thanks.AdvaitTue, 13 Jul 2021 16:19:02 -0000https://sourceforge.net/p/sbackup/discussion/486192/thread/00db966e25/?limit=25#ed3chttps://sourceforge.net/p/sbackup/discussion/486192/thread/8b7c3a92/?limit=25#7339the problem is caused by a change in tar. tar now exits with an error code "2" when positional arguments are used out of order. In the case of sbackup, it places the list of files to exclude after the list of files to include. that's considered an error since the exclude will not be processed. The problem can be fixed by changing sbackup-0.11.6/src/sbackup/ar_backend/tar.py find options.append('--files-from=%s' % tmp_incl) options.append('--exclude-from=%s' % tmp_excl) change the order to options.append('--exclude-from=%s'...Doug SheltonTue, 11 Dec 2018 17:16:47 -0000https://sourceforge.net/p/sbackup/discussion/486192/thread/8b7c3a92/?limit=25#7339https://sourceforge.net/p/sbackup/discussion/486192/thread/8b7c3a92/?limit=25#86b0I've also just found sbackup doesn't work on kubuntu 18.04 having just upgraded from 14.04 (not on the same machine). This is a shame since I found it the best for running a simple scheduled backup regime. Perhaps I'll try building it from source on 18.04, unless someone has done it already!tobiz1Fri, 19 Oct 2018 11:02:37 -0000https://sourceforge.net/p/sbackup/discussion/486192/thread/8b7c3a92/?limit=25#86b0https://sourceforge.net/p/sbackup/discussion/486192/thread/8b7c3a92/?limit=25#789dupgrade to ubuntu 18.04 just killed sbackupRobert LeleuThu, 03 May 2018 10:21:05 -0000https://sourceforge.net/p/sbackup/discussion/486192/thread/8b7c3a92/?limit=25#789dhttps://sourceforge.net/p/sbackup/discussion/486192/thread/4304d0d4/?limit=25#621eNormally I would suggest a simple chron job with a shell script to do the dirty work. find /var/tmp/ -type f -mtime +15 -exec rm -f {} + find files in the directory that are 15 days old and delete them. I do not normally run this so beware and YMMV. for reference https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/155184/how-to-find-and-delete-files-older-than-specific-days-in-unixJack CoatsMon, 09 Apr 2018 20:07:53 -0000https://sourceforge.net/p/sbackup/discussion/486192/thread/4304d0d4/?limit=25#621ehttps://sourceforge.net/p/sbackup/discussion/486192/thread/4304d0d4/?limit=25#62b3I loaded Simple Backup Suite on my new Linux Mint 18.3 system. It works fine except it doesn't delete old backups as it's supposed to. I have it set to delete everything older than 6 days, but they keep hanging around. Is there anything I can do to get them to leave?Ed FixMon, 09 Apr 2018 10:04:25 -0000https://sourceforge.net/p/sbackup/discussion/486192/thread/4304d0d4/?limit=25#62b3https://sourceforge.net/p/sbackup/discussion/486192/thread/fedc0b85/?limit=25#5481Linux Mint I see that I can make a full backup and I do want to make a full backup...GarrettTue, 23 Feb 2016 01:15:04 -0000https://sourceforge.net/p/sbackup/discussion/486192/thread/fedc0b85/?limit=25#5481https://sourceforge.net/p/sbackup/discussion/486192/thread/a2a2102b/?limit=25#f7dcWhy won't sBackup restore files from a folder when using an iterative backup?
