Hi Pete,
ext 4 should be fine. snap2 is a frontend to rsync, so I think it will work on any file system that support hard links, which is all Linux filesystems, I believe.

That's wonderful news.
My next step is to get it setup and working.

Hi,
I use Snap2 with ext4. It's superb, reliable and fast - it even reports how fast - the incremental option is usually >100 times faster than a full backup.
My regards

Subject description: has anyone ever backed-up to remote server? |

I'm glad you've found the program useful, Jasper.
Do you (or anyone else who reads this forum post) use snap2 to backup to *remote* media via Internet? This would normally be to a VPS (virtual private server) or a dedicated sever.
I ask because in the years since I wrote snap2, I've never heard that anyone (besides myself) has used the backup-to-remote-server option.

Hi lstandish
I'm a happy user of snap2 on Slacko 5.3.3 at the moment.
I've been looking into upgrading to a more recent Puppy - and the one that seems to meet my needs is the LxPup variant of Precise.
I've been trying to get Snap2 running today and have run into problems, so I'm wondering if you can advise?
On LxPup (and also on Upup Precise that LxPup is built on) I get gui problems.
I've spent all day looking at your gtkdialog code but have come to the conclusion that I'm unable to work out what's going wrong.
What I've done is replace all occurrences of GTKDIALOG with GTKDIALOG -d in /usr/bin/snap2 and then run snap2 in a terminal - the output is:
Code: | sh-3.00# snap2
widget_entry_refresh(): <label> not implemented for this widget.
widget_entry_refresh(): <label> not implemented for this widget.
widget_entry_refresh(): <label> not implemented for this widget.
widget_combobox_input_by_command(): <input> not implemented for this widget.
/usr/bin/snap2: eval: line 660: syntax error near unexpected token `<'
/usr/bin/snap2: eval: line 660: `<window title="snap2 v4.25 | User root | Settings: default.set"><hbox><vbox><text use-markup="true"><label>"<b>Backup Configuration in 4 Easy Steps</b>' |
I'm wondering if the multi-line text message in ADD_DIALOG is throwing it?
The version of GTKDIALOG in LxPup is:
Quote: | sh-3.00# gtkdialog -v
gtkdialog version 0.8.3 r473M (C) 2003-2007 Laszlo Pere, 2011-2012 Thunor
Built with additional support for: Glade. |
Hope we can work out whats wrong and get it going
Cheers
peebee
p.s. Snap2 4.25 works OK in Precise 5.4.1 with gtkdialog version 0.8.0 (C)
Snap2 4.25 run from terminal in Slacko 5.3.7.7 gives similar "not implemented for this widget" errors but works. gtkdialog version 0.8.2 r455M (C) Built with additional support for: Glade, VTE.

Problem update |
|
Update on my problem above....
After lots of testing and dialogue with Thunor - gtkdialog guru - it would appear that there are some versions of gtkdialog (a version of gtkdialog that is r472 to r482 inclusive) where Snap2 does not work properly - however it does work with earlier versions and with the latest version as at 12/12/12 - r493
If you have problems with Snap2 then you may need to downgrade or upgrade the version of gtkdialog on your Puppy.
In tracking down this conclusion, Thunor has recommended the amendments shown below to /usr/bin/snap2 (which improve it but do not cure the underlying problem).
Thunor explains the changes:
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=82648&start=22
These changes have been incorporated into the /usr/bin/snap2 in the attached pet WHICH ONLY CONTAINS THE UPDATED /usr/bin/snap2.
Cheers

Changes:
Quote: | Move the "Select a Directory" text at line 478 into the entry tag using fs-title=\"Select a Directory\" and delete the <label></label>.
Do the same at lines 500 and 517.
at line 631 is "<input>ls</input>" just remove it
You should try adding " | grep =" to the end of the GKDIALOG part so that you'll get something like:
Code:
for STATEMENTS in $($GTKDIALOG --program=MSG_DIALOG | grep =); do
There are seven of them, search for "eval". |

@peebee
I've just had a look at the snap2 source within your pet and you've left the test code in there that I gave you, this at line 654:
Code: | $GTKDIALOG -v; echo "$MAIN_DIALOG" > /tmp/snap2_MAIN_DIALOG; $GTKDIALOG --program=MAIN_DIALOG; exit |
It's not meant to be left in there. Maybe I should've mentioned that it's only test code, it was simply for you to gain access to the otherwise obscured output and send it to me. Anyway, you ought to remove it. The rest of it looks fine.
If anyone has installed the above update then simply open /usr/bin/snap2 and remove that line at 654.
Regards,
Thunor
