Martin,

thanks, but no thanks. There are other backup software around, and if
this one was already removed, this bug should be closed as WONTFIX,
AIUI. I don't have the permission for that, though.

Hubackup was removed from jaunty, see bug #320797 . So that is already
done.

The GUI is simply not finished and can actually not run at all. It lacks
the code to actually do something.

The problem is basically, that developing python bindings is not really
a big problem, once you know how to do it and have the time. Dar itself
(and libdar) is well written and contains a lot of C++ classes which
should be directly available in python. This means, that the classes and
methods should be wrapped to appropriate python classes. The usage of
these classes together with pygtk shouldn't be too difficult, given that
I had done it partly myself. However, the C++ code of Dar is using
nearly everything that makes classes in C++ fun, like friends,
overloading operators and templates. To make things worse, the templates
are then exchanged on a compile-time (pre-processor) case which makes
the whole thing not easier. Again, its not difficult, just time
consuming, if done right.

For reference, since python bindings can be done mostly on an automated
basis (if the code is not too complicated), someone used swig to do
exactly that. However, the usage of friends, overloaded operators and
compile-time settings force you to also dive deeply into swig to fix
those bindings. I think that a complete C++ rewrite of the bindings
would probably be easier than to fix the (now probably) completely
broken bindings.

For a start, I suggest you take a look at the libdar API itself and the
use cases on the wiki for hubackup. One can see that the ability to use
the bindings would make the integration not too difficult.
I have some code which you may want to see. There is a little more to
see than in the current code. You can browse through my branches if you
like, it should be in there. I don't have much time at the moment, but I
can look through the code in ~1 week. If you want to wait, I can then
point you directly to the interesting parts. Given that I haven't looked
at the code in a year or so, I need some preparation, though :).

It is possible to create a expect like interface to dar on the
commandline, but I suspect it to be quite slow. It doesn't provide some
useful information in order to make the display of data easy. 

For the graphical interface, there is the glade stuff to define the
windows, but you need to do some work on e.g. displaying the data in a
treeview, providing progressbars and such. I have made some progress on
this in my code as well. 

I hope I could shed some light on the issues around the problem. If you
need other specific information that I have not covered, don't hesitate
to contact me.

Regards,
Martin

Martin,

do you agree it would be best to develop hubackup off the distribution,
and re-include it in the archive when it's ready? Without further
frustrating users

do you think maybe it would be best to develop hubackup off the
distribution, and re-include it in the archive when it's ready?

It seems dealing with dar itself is a compromise of time, and
availability of a proper binding. I have some Perl skills, and have seen
Python, maybe I can help with that if there's some prototype somewhere
to give a headstart. If the GUI (pygtk) was at least working, it could
be a fast thing (not for Jaunty anymore).

Anyway, IMHO it should be removed from the archives until it's finished.

What do you mean by data loss? This bug is about the GUI not working,
but the backup itself should be fine. If your backup is corrupted in
anyway, you have another bug.

You must use the command line for dar to recover your backup. It's
described in the program's site and elsewhere. There are plenty
tutorials around on how to use dar via command line.

Can this please be removed from the repos? The software is NON
FUNCTIONING and MISLEADING. While the user may be able to drop to the
CLI and use dar, tar or whatever, this is what the software is supposed
to do, and doesn't. When the hurestore actually works, it can be
reincluded.

This is the same as if brasero were only able to create ISO files and
then telling the user to use cdrecord to burn them, or if firefox told
the user to wget the webpages before viewing them.

Martin, I would like to help but unfortunately my programming knowledge

It was a bad decision to promote hubackup (which works in most cases)
and hurestore as a main backup tool since they are not finished. I tried
to help Sivan getting hurestore to work, but didn't succed.

Maybe someone else has a better idea, so I will create some background
information for someone to start.

The problem with hurestore is, that you need to create an interface to
dar.

I tried the dar python bindings, but they are unstable and also
unfinished. I have a bzr branch on lp for both the bindings (dar-python)
and hurestore (look in my branches) which uses these bindings and can
show the contents of the archive. The problem is however, that there you
cannot have any statistics about the archive (the bindings fail there
and I didn't get them to work)  and that is needed at some point.

I also tried to interface dar directly, but is this error-prone and
quite slow. The usage of appropriate bindings would be much better.

I am willing to help anyone starting on that, but you should have some
(or better good) knowledge on python, pygtk, python bindings, swig, c++
and (at the end) building debian packages. I think that these are a lot
of requirements for such a small tool. Of course, the swig and binding
part is optional, but preferred. Dar is written in C++, so is the
library. If you want to use (fix) the bindings you need to know that as
well.

Contact me if you like to help.

I agree.  Between sbackup which "appears" to be working correctly, and
hubackup/restore which doesn't work at all, I'm just about ready to
start scripting my own backup scheme which I don't want to do, but I
agree, hu* shouldn't even be mentioned and should be removed from the
repos until it does work, and on the off chance that it actually has
been fixed, it should be put on the queue to upgrade.

This bug is still not fixed. Hurestore is not a finished program, and
would better be removed from the repositories. Don't hope you'll get it
for Intrepid...

Any hope this will be fixed for intrepid?

If that's the case, will a patch be backported to hardy?

Hello,

we ran into some problems when trying to do hurestore. There is information at 
http://sivang.blogspot.com/2008/01/restoring-file-using-hubackup.html
where Sivan explains how to do it by hand. For further information, hubackup 
uses dar (DiskARchiver) as its backend.

Well if it's a .tar or .tar.gz or another compressed file, you can use
file-roller. I advice you to work with Sbackup or timevualt this
backupprograms have a better development.

This is not good. I was hoping to restore my backup.

I'm on hardy, so i am surprised that this package has not yet been
fixed. it seems to have been a known problem for some time.

In the meantime, how does one restore from a backup created with
hubackup?

I'll keep my eye out for this being fixed then, I'm pleased how simple
the hubackup tool is, so I'm hopeful that the restore tool will be just
as good.  Keep up the good work guys.

I agree that hurestore should probably be dropped until it is in a
working state. Unfortunately, Hardy just got released, so it probably
wont be dropped from 8.04.

Why this package is in the distribution?

Clearly hurestore is not this finished.
