Question #195460 on Duplicity changed: https://answers.launchpad.net/duplicity/+question/195460
David Arnstein posted a new comment: Thank you Ken. I would like to file a bug against Ubuntu 12.04, but I would like your opinion on this. Here is mine: Ubuntu presents Duplicity as the default backup facility for users. In particular, there is a "Backup" item in the settings panel of Ubuntu. If a user clicks on this item, he can schedule a backup job. This backup is performed by Duplicity. Under these conditions, I claim that a user can expect that his "backup" job will yield a product that can, in the future, be used to restore his computer to its present state. If this backup job makes an incomplete copy of the user's disk, this will not be the case. I claim that the most reasonable behavior for the Ubuntu "backup" item in its settings panel would be to run Duplicity with high privelege, so that the backups produced by Duplicity are complete. -- You received this question notification because you are a member of duplicity-team, which is an answer contact for Duplicity. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~duplicity-team Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~duplicity-team More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
