Bug ID: 517121
Summary: Restoring backup from a different machine without Kup
or Bup installed is complicated
Classification: Applications
Product: kup
Version First unspecified
Reported In:
Platform: KDE Linux
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Keywords: usability
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Target Milestone: ---
If I need to restore from my backup on a different machine from the one that
created it (e.g. due to disk failure), the bup format of the backup complicates
this. If the machine does not also have Kup or even Bup installed, restoring
the backup will be a challenge.
One idea I had is to store a statically-linked copy of filedigger alongside
every backup. That way, at least on Linux systems, there will always be a tool
available on the backup disk itself that can be used to restore files from it
