Well these are the best bugs off course: ghost bugs that just fix themselves But this bug is still valid as I found a way to create ghost files in your snapshots as I described above...
However if your problem reoccurs, please notify us again! 2009/11/12 Andreas <[email protected]> > After having tried to analyse the bug an several backups (unfortunately > they took 2-3h each), I ended up that the bug completely disappeared. > Please don't ask me why... > > I uninstalled backintime, deleted all configs, deleted the backups from > the NFS drive, reinstalled backintime, didn't put ".gvfs" in the exclude > list and now everything works fine. No ghost files/folders etc. > > Sorry that this bug can't be traced... I can send you the logs I have, > but since the bug didn't appear anymore they will not help you.

Status in Back In Time: Confirmed Bug description: The classic example of this is when Back In Time backs up your desktop. For example. I create a file called 'foo' on my desktop to write some quick notes in. I create a snapshot, and '~/Desktop/foo' is now stored in 'Snapshot1'. I delete 'foo' from my Desktop, as I no longer need the file. I create another snapshot 'Snapshot2'. 'Foo' is still listed in 'Snapshot2' as a file (although obviously it hasn't changed). For each snapshot that is taken after this, 'foo' will always be listed as a file in the snapshot, and never removed from the series of backups. What should happen is, 'foo' should be stored in 'Snapshot1', but should not be stored in 'Snapshot2'. When 'Snapshot1' is deleted (either manually or automatically), 'foo' is no longer backed up through back in time, as it no longer exists on the system. The only current workaround I have found, is manually deleting the files I want to be removed from snapshots, so they are not included in the next sync. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~bit-team Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~bit-team More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
