Systemback

Restore Point Creation Failure: "There has been critical changes in the file system during this operation"

Asked by Dave

Hello Kendek,

I'm having an issue,
My storage directory is defined as: /mnt/files/systemback
This is a share on my NAS, and is mounted at startup via fstab.
I can read write to this location with other applications.
I can select it in systemback "Storage Location"

When I run systemback > create restore point it then errors at 100% "pop up dialog box"
Restore Point Creation Failure:
"There has been critical changes in the file system during this operation"

If I run from terminal
dave@hp-lappy1:~$ /usr/lib/systemback/sbsustart systemback
An error occurred while cloning the following symbolic link:
/home/dave/.local/share/applications/defaults.list

Target symlink:
/mnt/files/systemback/Systemback/.S00_2015-09-18,19.02.34/home/dave/.local/share/applications/defaults.list

dave@hp-lappy1:~$

The first time it failed was on a .wine folder,
I removed that, I no longer have wine on the system.
Then it failed the second time, with the above.

Many Thanks - Dave

This mount point does not handle and transfer the all file permissions, so the restore point creation is not possible. The Systemback working on a file system level, and if failed to clone a file system item (with permissions), then the process stops.
If you using a restore point with maladjusted permissions, the restored system will no longer work.

Hi Kendek,

Many Thanks,
On my NAS I have created a share called "systemback".
I mount my NAS in "fstab" with this command/method:

//nas1/systemback /media/systemback cifs credentials=/home/dave/.smbcredentials,iocharset=utf8,gid=1000,uid=1000,file

The file ".smbcredentials" contains my username & password

Using this method allows normal read/write access.
I will investigate further

Thanks - Dave

Sorry made mistake with command, it is:
//nas1/systemback /media/systemback cifs credentials=/home/dave/.smbcredentials,iocharset=utf8,gid=1000,uid=1000,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777 0 0
