Hello,

Sorry for the late answers .

> Is there a forum for usual questions ?

well NSsbackup is a little software, there is no community supporting
it. The NSsbackup team alone so the only place to ask for questions
would be launchpad ( the Answers Tab
https://answers.edge.launchpad.net/nssbackup )

>I launched it through the command line "nssbackupd". It looks like that
everytime a backup is achieved, 2 subdirectories are created : either a
"*.ful" and a "*.inc" ones, either 2 "*.inc" ones. It is not very
annoying but just a bit messy.

Did you set the same output folder for both profiles ? This will cause
what you just described. each profile will assume the last snapshot is
the one from this own profile thus will create ".inc" backups.

>I have done an update and a "make install" and I get the same behaviour
with "NSSBackup Restoration GUI". Please have a look to the attached
command line output.

I will look at it again :-/

>Maybe the default should be to include them, but the main point is to
know what's going on. Maybe a checkbox in the GUI ("exclude symlinks" in
the exclude tab) would be welcome.

Oki, I shall add that.

> Sorry but adding "backuplinks = 1" in "/etc/nssbackup.d/nssbackup-
BackupHome.conf" doesn't look to make the symbolic links to be included.

In your previous logs I can see NSsbackup mentioning the backup of
symlinks :-/

> Maybe the "optional" in the GUI is a bit abusive.

I have removed it on the beta 4 version

> Sorry but I modified the expeditor address to put a valid one, but no
notification mail is sent. Please find the command line output in the
following message.

Well, the sending of emails won't be found in the logs. It's done after
the logs are closed so that you receive the content by mail. By it can
be found just after the backup in the global log file
(/var/log/nssbackup.log or ~/.local/share/nssbcakup/nssbackup.log). You
should  also test the mail setting in NSsbackup config GUI.

> If I modify a profile inside the GUI (for example remove an included
directory), save it then launch a backup, I get a backup upon the old
version of the profile. It looks like I should exit the GUI and reopen
it to take the modifications of the profile in account, or run
"nssbackupd"

Be sure to save you modification before launching the backup. when you
save, the settings are written in the configuration file and then when
you launch nssbackupd, it will read them.

By the way, please update to the beta 4 and tell me if it's better.
