    Status: Open => Needs information

Jean-Peer Lorenz requested for more information:
Hello,

did you uninstalled the previous NSsbackup installation before the
installation using Synaptic?

You could do the following:

1. uninstall NSsbackup using Synaptic
2. uninstall using `% sudo make uninstall` from your source directory
3. you should now have a clean machine without any NSsbackup
4. walk into the /tmp directory and remove the directory /tmp/nssbackup (this is only for temporary data and will be created again later, but there is a known issue so please don't skip this step)
5. re-install NSsbackup using Synaptic
6. launch the configuration tool from the menu `Applications->Utilities` (as non-privileged user)
7. set up the default profile to perform a minimal backup of some files from your /home directory
8. take care to choose a target you have write permissions in (e.g. a directory in your (/home directory created for this purpose)
9. do a backup and check the log files that were copied

hopefully this works, tell your results.

Regards. Jean-Peer
