Hi, perfect program but need to be compiled as module for slax. http://www.slax.org/documentation_create_modules_rules.php Sincerely thanks. Have a nice day.

Hi, I just installed retrospekt and it told me i need to run retroskept-config first. When i do that, nothing really happens all i get is: reg@desktop-reg:~/downloads/retrospekt> ./retrospekt-config root: /.snapshots/ d:7 w:4 m:0 y:0 backup: /home/ backup: /etc/ backup: /usr/local/ Wwhat am I doing wrong? Thanks!

Hi, Thanks for this kde apps but i'm just wondering if it's still developped/maintained ? Thanks.

I'm trying to change my include list now, but every time I add a directory to it the list is wiped clean. So for example, the list is populated with /etc end /home, then when I want to remove /home (that goes fine), and add /home/me/documents or something, but then when the folder selection dialog closes, the include list is empty.. I can add my folder, but then when I want to add another folder the same thing happens.. When I manually type in the path everything goes fine btw. Incidentally, in my konsole there are a lot of messages like this: kmdr-executor: WARNING: Pixmap not found for mimetype inode/directory but I don't think that really has something to do with my problem, does it? :)

Hi, Where can I see/change at what time rsnapshot performs its daily run? Also, I can't seem to add entries to the exclude list. Both the add and remove buttons are grayed out :( Seems like a very promising app though, I'm looking forward to using it!

Configuration screen is broken as it will instantly forget any previous entries added. After manually adding all the entries I need to rsnapshot.conf, Retrospect still doesn't read them correctly. I didn't get any further than that and wouldn't know how to, as the config screen is the only part of the program that got added to my kicker menu, and typing retrospekt results in display of the "Running retrospekt for the first time?" Dialog. In all, a big disappointment. I might as well do the rsnapshot.conf file with rsnapshot from the command line.

Hi! It seems to ba a very cool App, but unfortunately it seems to not work here. I've set up retrospeKt using you install script. After that I set the directories to backup and the destination folder via retrospekt-config. rsnapshot backs up successfully since 2 days now. But the context menu seems to miss the backup location. For example if I click "Move back in time" I get the message: "This directory does not exist in the backup". If I click "Kompare" on a cerainly changed textfile I get the message: "This is the only version of this file". Looking into the backup dir, I can see the dirs daily.0, daily.1 and daily.2. When browsing through it I can find the modified file in daily.0 and the original file in the others. Running retrospect on a Konsole gives me: BBD: >/mnt/backup/Shadow< BD: >root< loaded dcop: konqueror-5471 konqueror-mainwindow#1 Using cached dcop info... # dcop konqueror-5471 konqueror-mainwindow#1 currentURL url: /home/dreadhead/Downloads/retrospekt backup: /mnt/backup/Shadow/daily.0/root/home/dreadhead/Downloads/retrospekt This are the correct paths... I have to say that my backup folder is a mounted nfs share containig an ext4 file-system. Could this be the problem?

I love this menu! Is there any way to make it work with dolphin, d3lphin? Mike

Hi again, as I'm no perl programmer, there a re some well 'dangerous' parts in the following diffs. First the crontab will be replaced without asking, second the .kmdr script is assumed to be installed in $HOME/Kommander (what is a minor problem, should work with your install, too) Okay here are the diffs: --- retrospekt.orig 2007-11-08 15:11:16.000000000 +0100 +++ retrospekt 2007-11-08 15:15:58.000000000 +0100 @@ -13,11 +13,11 @@ $mon{"11"}="Nov"; $mon{"12"}="Dec"; -# get snapshot_root and backup name from rsnapshot.conf -$snapshot_root=`cat /etc/rsnapshot.conf | grep snapshot_root | grep -v \\# | cut -f2`; +# get snapshot_root and backup name from $HOME/.rsnapshotrc +$snapshot_root=`cat $ENV{HOME}/.rsnapshotrc | grep snapshot_root | grep -v \\# | cut -f2`; chop $snapshot_root; $snapshot_root=~s/\/$//; -$backup_name=`cat /etc/rsnapshot.conf | grep -E \"^backup\" | cut -f3 | head -1`; +$backup_name=`cat $ENV{HOME}/.rsnapshotrc | grep -E \"^backup\" | cut -f3 | head -1`; chop $backup_name; $backup_name=~s/\/$//; $backup_name=~s/^\///; @@ -41,13 +41,13 @@ # Variables and values are separated by one white space. # Snapshot root directory is a directory where daily.0 directory resides. -# It has the same value as the snapshot_root from /etc/rsnapshot.conf. +# It has the same value as the snapshot_root from .rsnapshotrc. # Example: snapshot_root /storage/backup snapshot_root $snapshot_root # Backup name is the directory the actuall backup resides inside daily.0 -# directory.
