Sbackup not working

[OnlyTim]

Hey all, I upgraded to 10.04. Was using deja dup, but found it would not back up anymore. I tried using sbackup and it seems to take all the configuration, but when I choose back up now, it shows the process ID but sits idle. The destination drive shows no new files.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Same problem here on laptop and desktop; did not find yet a usefull alternative.

Apparently known bug:

Thanks for the information! Glad to see it's a bug and not me.. I guess it involves daja dup back up as well. I'll wait and see what they come up with as a fix.

Thanks again!

i had the same problem. Im willing to bet you can run it from terminal though and it'll work.

Would you know the command for sbackup in terminal? I may try that.
In the mean time,, I unloaded sbackup and installed NSsbackup from synaptic. It worked! Don't ask me how? The files are backed up as tar files. At least I can use it until a fix comes out.

sudo sbackupd
