I had this problem--I tried a backup to another computer via SSH, and the "sbackupd" process would change to "zombie" state. (You can see this in Gnome System Monitor by clicking the "View" menu, then "All Processes".)
I had just installed Simple Backup Config, as far as I can remember. I tried doing a backup to the default location (i.e. /var/backup) and that worked. So then I wanted to stop the backup, only way that worked was to reboot (killing sbackupd didn't stop the backup files from growing!). After the reboot, the SSH backup worked just fine. Maybe it has to do with logging in & out, or rebooting??? Hope that helps. -- sbackup goes into zombie status https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/332589 You received this bug notification because you are a member of NSsbackup team, which is subscribed to sbackup in ubuntu. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~nssbackup-team Post to : nssbackup-team@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~nssbackup-team More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
