Public bug reported:
>From Debian bug #629931:
Package: backintime-common
Version: 1.0.6-1
Severity: normal
Yesterday I found out that backintime did not perform backups since I
upgraded to wheezy. My cron script did not send a warning so I was
curious why backups silently fail.
It seems that backintime does not print warnings to stderr, so
redirecting output to /dev/null also dismisses any warnings:
-----
# /usr/bin/backintime -b > /dev/null
# /usr/bin/backintime -b
Back In Time
Version: 1.0.6
Back In Time comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY.
This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it
under certain conditions; type `backintime --license' for details.
INFO: The application needs to change the backup format. Start the GUI
to proceed. (As long as you do not you will not be able to make new
snapshots!)
WARNING: Backup not performed
-----
Please write warning messages like these to stderr so that backup errors
can be detected easily.
