[Bug 1083237] Re: Ignore Steam files by default
Mokrates : you can't, it's hardcoded. (no jokes !) Because of Déjà Dup, I also lost data 1 year ago, and created a bug report : https://bugs.launchpad.net/deja-dup/+bug/1562357 But it's been completely ignored. My conclusion : "As deja-dup project seems more or less inactive, and can't be used as a reliable backup for steam users, I suggest everyone affected to use "Back in time". With this software : - backup settings can be changed - backup operation eats a lot less CPU, and is faster (for me) - data is easy to access, you don't even need the backup software" -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1083237 Title: Ignore Steam files by default To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/deja-dup/+bug/1083237/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Oh my God you killed my savegame. Almost the only thing I did not have in the cloud is gone, because deja-dup doesn't back up Steam and it doesn't tell me about it! This fix is no fix. It's a bug. This kills savegames of hardcoregamers, who can potentially select to not backup Steam but only the savegames and kills the savegames of normal people who just want to play really small point and clicks like me.

** Description changed: - Steam games are enormous, synchronized, and off-site. No need to back - them up. + [Impact] + Steam is coming to Ubuntu (already in beta). Steam games are enormous, synchronized, and off-site. No need to back them up. - Apparently ~/.steam/root points to the install location of Steam. (Not - sure what the difference is between ~/.steam/root and ~/.steam/steam...) + Once users start playing Steam games, a user that enabled backups with + Deja Dup's default settings will find that all of a sudden, many gigs of + data are being backed up. + + Now, obviously this is a bit of a whack-a-mole problem. Many apps like + Steam don't properly follow the XDG basedir spec and put cached data in + ~/.cache so that Deja Dup and similar apps will ignore them. And we + don't want to SRU a fix for every single non-compliant app. + + But Steam is a big one. It's both very popular and its data is very + very large. I think it's worth an exception to avoid the pain and bug + reports that will come when many people suddenly add multiple gigs of + useless data to their backups. + + [Workaround] + A user can simply add ~/Steam to the backup ignore list. But every single user that uses Steam will want to do that. It's a big burden to ask of each user individually. + + [Test Case] + Try backing up your home directory with Steam installed. Notice that it will include ~/Steam. With this patch (from upstream), it will ignore ~/Steam instead. + + [Regression Potential] + It's a very simple fix. I think regression potential is exceedingly tiny. + + [Fix Details] + We add ~/.steam/root to the hidden default ignore list. ~/.steam/root points at ~/Steam (which will also be ignored) unless the user has manually changed it. ** Patch added: "quantal.debdiff" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/deja-dup/+bug/1083237/+attachment/3451943/+files/quantal.debdiff -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1083237 Title: Ignore Steam files by default To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/deja-dup/+bug/1083237/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
