This is NOT a bug, it turns out that the created archive was corrupt. Manually trying to extract the archive gave me a "unexpected end of file" on the files.tgz that sbackup made. Looking closer at it's size, files.tgz was exactly 2147483647, 1 byte short of 2GB. I bet this failure occurs when the archive is not extracted and there are no files to copy to the proper location.
So perhaps the real bug is that sbackup is unable to create tgz files larger that 2GB? Maybe I didn't notice my backup failed on Ubuntu 7.10 when I created it. sbackup did successfully create an incremental backup using the "full" backup. I bet sbackup doesn't even check files.tgz when doing an incremental, but just checks what file versions have changed by looking at flist or something. So, the real bug is that sbackup is unable to create tgz files larger that 2GB! -- Crash "No Such File Or Directory" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/209314 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
