Trouble using 'Back in Time' backup software
 

Hullo All,
I have installed 'Back in Time' 0.8.12 on Fedora 9 x86_64, and can't seem to get it to actually make a backup.
I have set the 'where to save snapshots' as a named dir on a second disc. I have write permission.
I have chosen 'what to backup', and removed the Exclude patterns, as the defaults appeared to exclude everything.
I have set 'when' to everyday.
Nothing happens, so I checked that cron is running, and it is. I tried using 'Take a snapshot' and it adds a 'Now' to the timeline, and says 'working', but again nothing happens. A couple of days have gone by since initial setup, and files that are to be backed up have changed but still no backups.
I have read the 'destructions', and it all seems to confirm the steps I have taken.
Clearly, I am missing something about how this is meant to be done.
Can someone who has this software working please provide some guidance?

Cheers,
Terry

Hullo All,
Sorry to be replying to my own post, but since then the problem seems to have solved itself!
I suspect that data may have been being held in some scratch files or somesuch. After a recent shutdown and later reboot there are now some files/dirs within the designated backup dir.
That doesn't explain why they didn't appear after previous shutdowns, but nevertheless, it now seems to be working.

Cheers,
Terry
