--- Comment #2 from Daniel M <dan...@melameth.com> --- Thanks for chiming in Simon! When I originally submitted the bug, I was new to Kup. After using it for a while now, I think I have a somewhat better understanding of what's happening and I get the feeling Kup was written for a time when faster networks, faster computers and broad Internet/cloud coverage was less plentiful. As for getting a question the first time a backup runs, it feel it should be the default and unchangeable; the backup is likely to be large and you might want an ideal environment before doing this. While bup natively supports a bup server/SSH endpoint, it appears Kup does not support this configuration and was designed for attached storage. Since lugging around and connecting/disconnecting external storage is not ideal for me, I configured sshfs on my machine (x-systemd.automount,_netdev,auto_cache,delay_connect,reconnect,nofail,ServerAliveInterval=10), which connects to another machine on my LAN, and configure Kup to use this mount/Destination. So, my Kup workflow tends to go like this: 1. Kup runs when I'm at the office and does not ask for confirmation (this reflects your comment). 2. When I'm away from the office, I'm usually running off the battery/in Power Save, so Kup asks for confirmation and I say no. 3. When I return to the office, Kup never runs unless I do it manually (this reflects your comment). This workflow is less than ideal; I could have days without a backup if I don't remember/pay attention to the icon/tray. I think it should go like this: 1. Kup runs when I'm at the office and does not ask for confirmation. 2. When I'm away from the office, Kup notices the Destination does not exist, so it does not run/ask for confirmation. 3. When I return to the office, Kup runs as normal and does not ask for confirmation. In the original workflow case, if I'm being asked for confirmation because of Power Save, I feel Kup should automatically run the backup at the next interval if the system is no longer set for Power Save. This will ensure more backups. Hope some of this makes sense. Thanks. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
