Can sbackup be installed in Ubuntu 18.04. Is the program "dead".


Does anyone know of the status of sbackup?

Appears that the last update to sbackup was in 2014. Is the program "dead"?

Still works in Ubuntu 16.04, but the progress indicator became non-functional. I have not yet upgraded to Ubuntu 18.04. But before I do, I was wondering if sbackup would work under Ubuntu 18.04?

I have considered this program to be the "best" backup program. But I do have to concede that the program was flaky (but issue solved) when backing-up to an external hard-drive connected to a network router.

Probably unmaintained. YMMV.
