backintime (simple backup tool for Linux)
Back In Time is a simple backup tool for Linux inspired from
“flyback project” and “TimeVault”.
The backup is done by taking snapshots of a specified set of folders.
Currently there are two GUI available: Gnome and KDE 4 (>= 4.1).
All you have to do is configure:
* Where to save snapshot
* What directories to backup
* When backup should be done

Here are the packages : -common, -gnome (gtk), -kde, -thunar (UCA plugin)

Re: backintime
Hello,
It appears the links to the files in OP's post are missing? I am a longtime backintime user and I cannot get the app to run under Salix. It will install just fine, just will not run. I am assuming it is because I am using the Mate & XFCE DE's as backintime has GUI's for KDE & Gnome only. I assumed the Gnome GUI would work on Mate & XFCE. We all know what happens when you assume something
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Re: backintime
Run backintime from the command line and post the error messages here
“Don’t you see that the whole aim of Newspeak is to narrow the range of thought?"
Re: backintime
I've tried that and there are no errors. A gui frontend for KDE or Gnome are also required to be installed. At least that was how it worked on Debian based systems.
Re: backintime
I'm running SalixMate 13.37 and just installed backintime using slapt-get. Seems to work here.
Code: Select all
root[rich]# slapt-get --se backintime
backintime-1.0.8-i486-1cp [inst=no]: backintime (simple backup tool for Linux)
root[rich]# slapt-get --i backintime

Re: backintime
kwisher, do you mean backintime for 13.37, or backintime for the 14.0 beta ?
For 13.37, it runs ok under Xfce, I use it.
For 14.0, I changed the package a bit, some you have to install backintime-cli and backintime-gnome (well in fact, it's not so gnome, it's mainly Gtk2).

Re: backintime
I've tried it in 13.37 Mate and now 14.0 XFCE with no luck. The GUI will not start. In XFCE 14.0 I installed both packages as you suggested.
I can usually be found in the #salix IRC channel if you want to chat sometime.

Re: backintime
Well, seems "libgnome" was missing in the dependencies. I need to check if it should be added to backintime-gnome deps or to gnome-python deps.
Re: backintime
JRD,
Thank you for your help yesterday on IRC. I have checked my 13.37 64-bit Mate system at work and backintime is functioning correctly now. I believe the problem on this machine was that the user *pid file was locked. After removing those locked files everything works.
