Just encountered this bug. Took me some time to figure it out. The thing is, that if I had not manually verified that all was as it was supposed to be, I would have believed that the backup went fine when it really stopped at the large file. In the end I think what truly is needed is some sort of information/log to state how the process went even if it finished gracefully. Dan, if fat32 is no good for BIT it would be nice for BIT to state so.
-- Backup ends when a file > 4gb should be saved on a FAT32 filesystem https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/478429 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Back In Time Team, which is subscribed to Back In Time. Status in Back In Time: Confirmed Bug description: Bug: When I want to backup a folder that contains files with a size > 4gb. - The backup ends at this file. - That happens because FAT32 can not handle files that are > 4gb. - The user gets no message and beliefs that all files were saved without failures. My suggestion: -A message should appear that the file xyz* could not be saved because FAT32 can only handle files with a size < 4gb. - The backup should continue. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~bit-team Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~bit-team More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
