Its already in a DEB and was designed for Ubuntu :)

[strikeforce]

Its already in breezy make sure you have the necessary repo's

[Limulus]

strikeforce: You're right! Sorry about that; let me modify my request then:

Can version 0.9-1 be added to backports? (0.8-1 is in Breezy's repositories)

[strikeforce]

Unforutnately the version in dapper is 0.7 still

strikeforce: Ah! There's been some confusion; that's "simplebackup". The package I was talking about is "sbackup". Breezy has 0.8-1 while Dapper has 0.9-1: http://packages.ubuntu.com/dapper/admin/sbackup

Could it be backported now that that's been cleared up? :)

Looks good, I'll investigate further.

[fergus]

Any update on this backport?

[Limulus]

fergus: If you just want to run the latest version, download the DEB from http://sourceforge.net/projects/sbackup/ and install it with sudo dpkg -i [filename] using Terminal. That's what I did and it works great :) I thought others would like it too, which is why I requested it to be backported.

works well, sent for build.
