    Status: Open => Needs information

Jean-Peer Lorenz requested for more information:
Mmh...

Ok, some more questions:

1. What is your distribution and kernel version?
2. How are your backups invoked? Using schedules (cron) or by pressing the 'Backup now' button withiin the configuration gui?

Moreover, if you know what you are doing, please try the following. If
you don't feel so, just answer the questions above and we will look for
another way.

* start the application as usual (from the System menu)
* disable any additional profiles within NSsbackup configuration GUI
* create a source directory containg some testing files for backup (don't use important data); for example '~/nssbackup-test/should.be.backuped'
* create a backup destination of your choice; you can use the default if you want
* check any of the items in the configuration tool so it doesn't contain some rubbish settings
* save the config file from the configuration gui
* post the content of the config file from the '/etc/nssbackup.conf' here
* start your backup from the configuration gui by pressing the 'Backup now' button

Afterwards, please post the content of the log file here and check the
backup destination folder. Were popup messages displayed when backing
up?

Good luck. Jean-Peer.
