pyBackPack 0.2.999
Fresh from the shores of Lesvos, I bring you pyBackPack 0.2.999.
No screen shots this time (I don't think my wallet could handle the GPRS bill :)), but here's what's new:
Download
.tar.gz: pybackpack-0.2.999.tar.gz
SRPM: pybackpack-0.2.999-1.src.rpm
RPM: I forgot to install the right packages on the laptop before I left, so no RPM this time unless someone else is able to build one... :)
Bugs
I've run into a frustrating bug with rdiff-backup - namely that it doesn't like restoring from directories with a '.' character in their name. It throws an AssertionError. This bug seems intermittent, so any feedback you can offer would be greatly appreciated.
Update - The problem disappeared when using pyBackPack on a different machine, so perhaps I screwed up rdiff-backup on the laptop. Ho hum.
No screen shots this time (I don't think my wallet could handle the GPRS bill :)), but here's what's new:
- Editable backup sets
- Nicer interface for including and excluding files/folders in a backup set
- pyBackPack now uses nautilusburn to provide a much nicer way of writing CDs
- Single-click backup of your home directory to a CD from the main pyBackPack window
