Hi Richard,
Sorry for the late answer.
The file you are talking about should be in
"~/.local/share/backintime/snapshot.last" (and not
"~/.share/local/backintime/snapshot.last").
It is strange it does not work for you. Can you confirm that using
schedule per included directory don't generate this file ? If you do
then this is a bug.
The format it is simple: on line per folder. Each line contains items
separated buy ':'.
The fields are: path, year, month, day, hour, minute.
Regards,
Dan

Hey Dan,
I did what you suggested with the combo box.
I realised that if you have the schedule per include folder then the
cron job is set to the most frequent option; thus if one folder should
backup daily at 17:00 and another every 10 minutes the cron job will
be every 10 minutes.
Because of this I want to adjust the _is_auto_backup_needed method to
factor in the backup hour, however, this depends on information from
_get_last_snapshot_info which seems to look for an info file in
~/.share/local/backintime/snapshot.last; but this file doesn't get
created on my system.
Can you let me know how information about the last run of a snapshot
is stored so I can reference it to determine if a folder should be
backed up? If someone is expecting a folder to be backed up at 5pm I
don't want to back it up the first thing in the morning, because they
may depending on that backup to do a restore at 5:30pm for a file they
changed during that day.
Regards,
Richard

Hi,
If you have only one schedule the hour combo should
visible/enabled only for daily backups or more.
If you have schedule per included directory you can show the combo
into general settings with a simple label like: "time for daily
ore more backups". Allowing to specify different hours for each
folder can be nice but it may take a lot of work and I don't think
it really worth it. It can be a future improvement.

Dan

Hey guys,
I pushed the code for the backup hour option to this branch:
https://code.launchpad.net/~rmjb/backintime/backuphour
<https://code.launchpad.net/%7Ermjb/backintime/backuphour>
<https://code.launchpad.net/%7Ermjb/backintime/backuphour>
It's not complete, but you can choose the hour for backups in
gnome once you don't choose the schedule per include folder
option.
