Pbackup 3.1.9-1
Pbackup Not Loading (Not Starting)
I have Puppy 4.31 and all of a sudden pbackup stopped working (not loading). I tried installing the latest 3.18 but it is frozen on the loading screen. Any ideas?
I also occasionally find that the "p" programs freeze the first time I run them after installing a new version.
Did you try killing it and running again? Run from a terminal too, in case it produces some useful output.

Do you know a good gtkdialog program? Please post a link here

Thanks and I get alot of errors which starts off with

That last line keeps repeating and repeating after that.

Can't Find Pbackup Log File
I am getting an error syncing 2 directories and can't find where the logfile is that gives more information on the error.
Yes thanks haha. I bought a motherboard with a built in raid controller and you might figure it would automatically run a mirror but no it doesn't so I'm trying both pbackup and pmirror to set it up. Not sure which one will do the job better so doing some tests right now and since that error log didn't show up like you said with a simple button click then I will search the location you mentioned..
Thanks again. I will post my results...

/root/.pbackup/tmp has no files in it even though pbackup notifies of an error and hasn't run on the schedule again since that error is listed on the pbackup main screen.
The only thing in the /root.pbackup/tmp folder is a subfolder named pbackupSYNC which is empty also
Hmmm it's getting interesting now. I wonder what is causing the error.

file limit?
I have a machine I want to reinstall, but before I do I wanted to back it up. The current linux is hosed, but a quick boot with a 4.3.1 CD allows me access to all of the files, currently in /mnt/home. I have a 1.5T hard drive (formatted in NTFS, unfortunately, and I really don't want to reformat for this) connected via USB as /mnt/sdc1.
I've set up a full backup of /mnt/home targed to HD /mnt/sdc1. When I run the backup, the pupbck-files, -dirs, and -links files look fine in geany (although pupback-files is 51M...), but the backup stalls after creating the first directory structure /mnt/sdc1/20100730_backup/Backup_2010-08-01_13.04.49/mnt and hangs there...the other day, I let it go overnight and no other directories or files were added. (FWIW, /mnt/home/mnt/ is empty, so <<backup>>/mnt should be, too.)
Is there a hard limit on number of files for pbackup? Is it having a canary writing to the NTFS drive? Is it just my bad karma? I know I can use tar to get where I need to go, but pbackup looked so slick...

Problem running pbackup on slacko
Hello
I'm trying to use pbackup on slacko 5.3.2.8 to backup a directory on one harddisk to a directory on a 2nd harddisk.
I've set it all up and done a full backup which is reported as being successful but there is nothing in the backup directory - see screenie attached.
I've checked through all the settings and cannot see what I'm doing wrong.
Both disks are ntfs formatted - would that matter??
Many thanks for any help anybody can give.
Cheers

I don't use pbackup but...
There's a file called 'config' that holds the needed settings for
the app mirdir that Zigbert uses. I would speculate that
the file 'config' was damaged somehow. Maybe your partition was
filed up when config was being written to and the file couldn't be
saved?? Just a guess.
I recommend my fork of pmirror. I've spent the last couple of weeks
fixing it up.
