Public bug reported:

SBackup is configured to backup a local data directory on Ubuntu 10.04
(ext4) to a remote SAMBA share (Windows 7 Pro) doing every 7 days a full
backup and daily an incremental backup (simple schedule or via cron)

Same behavior when doing backup on Ubuntu 10.10 x64 of a nfs mounted
remote source to backup on local folder (both ext4).

The backup works so far, a full backup is created and sequential backups are marked and reported as .inc (incremental).
However the compressed files created contain always the full set of files - no incremental backup at all). So the file system gest blasted after a while because of the large backup sets.

The older version of sbackup  does work as expected, but could not
connect to SAMBA, so one has to mount the file system first and backup
to the monted folder locally.

Affected Version: Simple Backup Suite 0.11.3

I hope this can be fixed soon somehow.

kind regards cando
