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.

I tried pbackup and the two key files seem to be

/root/.pbackup/tmp/pbackup-tmp
/root/.pbackup/profiles/Pbackup_default

I have done some initial work on a new major upgrade of pBackup.
