Re: [Question #65761]: Behaviour when target has no free space

 

Question #65761 on NSsbackup changed:
https://answers.edge.launchpad.net/nssbackup/+question/65761

    Status: Needs information => Open

tim gave more information on the question:
Hi,

> If there not enough space on the disk, NSsbackup will abort throwing the following error:
> "Not enough free space on the target directory for the planned backup (%(freespace)d <= %(neededspace)s)"

> If you change the drive, the next backup will be a full backup (as no
preceding backup will be found).

I'm guessing that the next Backup will then be on the next day, right?

> Do you mean that the mail title should be something like that or that
the content should be changed to that ?

Now that you mention it, either one would be fine. I had the message
text in mind when I first asked but I guess the title would be even
better. Also while we're at it: would it be possible to add a warning
for low space on target to the message (with a configurable warning
threshold)? So the user could decide to switch to a new drive _before_
space runs out?

Regards
Tim
