]]> Comment on Déjà Dup News by Marko http://mterry.name/log/2009/06/29/deja-dup-news-2/comment-page-1/#comment-26511 Marko Tue, 19 Jan 2010 21:16:41 +0000 http://mterry.name/log/?p=753#comment-26511 Hi Michael, Deja Dup is really refreshing comparing to complexity of other back up tools. I would just like to stress one thing that could be problematic, assuming that I got the way Deja Dup is functioning correctly. Deja Dup is backing up all the files in specified folder, including hidden ones. If I decide to move to newer version of Ubuntu by doing fresh install I'll run Deja Dup and back up my whole Home folder as it contains my personal folders and files. After I restore my Home folder by Deja Dup on my fresh Ubuntu installation it will restore hidden files as well. Many of those hidden files can affect, and most probably will, system. This happened to me, I just installed new version of Ubuntu and fine tuned it for myself, then I restored Home folder (in that time I used grsync) and everything went messy. I had to do fresh installation again, and remove all hidden files from backup before restoring. It would be great to have option not to backup hidden files and folders in Deja Dup, it does have "Except..." option but it will not solve particular case I mentioned as I also have personal files within Home directory that I want to backup. Cheers mate Hi Michael,

The times we have being to jobs where the customer has given it a go and has wasted money on products from their local diy store. The best advice is if you think you can do it yourself get a few quotes first from a local pest control firm, then price up how much it is do go the diy route, you may be surprised by the results.

I filed a bug report (http://www.xbmc.org/trac/ticket/7362) and it seems like it's compiled without theora support. Are you still using it with theora support on XBMC? Hi,
