After restore BIT automatically starts a snapshot on files restored
Dear Germar/Dan,
BIT totally saved me today when somehow a directory with 3+ years of work suddenly was gone.
Many thanks for this software.
Restoring took a good 6 hours. However, after that something strange happened:
After restoring, BIT started to immediately make a snapshot on very many files
in the restored directory that were not changed in a long time (but were just restored).
It is still restoring as I write this.
What is going on? Is BIT messing up my files now?
Could it be that BIT concurrently while it was doing the restoring also made a snapshot on the incomplete
folder structure and when everything was restored, BIT found all these "new" (restored file) compared to the
the possible snapshot during restore?
Any other explantions?
Thanks for any insight into this problem.
(I noticed during the end of the restore, when BIT fixes the file permissions, that it tried to set permissions for /home
but failed (presumably because it runs as me/user) and then it finnished. Any adverse implications from that
related to this problem with the seemingly irrational snapshot after restore?)
Best regards,
Sven
