draksnapshot help

Postby theKbStockpiler » Aug 14th, '14, 00:26

I'm pretty sure that braksnapshot is not working on my mageia4 install but I have no experience with it to begin with. If I use MCC and choose (backup all) and put it in the home directory , i don't get an indication from the gui that anything has been done. The window does not change and stays open.

Thanks in advance! :(

Don't try to use draksnapshot, it has been unreliable for some time:

https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5622

Try one of the other backup programs available in the repo's. One that several people have recommended is luckybackup.

I use rsnapshot for several years already but it's configured in CLI only AFAIK. Proved itself very reliable.
