Files not being copied.
Very strange this one. Short description is this:
- Backintime is configured to copy ~/Desktop and ~/Documents to ~/servershare
- Servershare is a Samba mount mounted by gvfs-mount. It is mounted in ~/.gvfs/user on server
- A symlink links this to ~/servershare
- backintime is not configured to run using the internal scheduler, its called via a script which uses
nice -n 19 ionice -c2 -n7 /usr/bin/backintime --profile "Main profile" --backup-job >/dev/null 2>&1
- Running on Ubuntu 10.04. Backintime version 0.9.26
When the backup is run, backintime creates the snapshot directories, but copies no files. All snapshot directories are empty. However it displays the files in the "Now" section just fine.
Here is the info from /var/log/messages

It seems to me that this "--exclude="*"" bit is wrong. But I only have *.mp3 set in the exclusion filters.
Any ideas?
