[Question #141679]: nssbackup does not work when backing up root directory (/*)

 

New question #141679 on nssbackup:
https://answers.launchpad.net/nssbackup/+question/141679

I used to use sbackup to backup my whole file system (excluding such
directories as /mnt, /media, /sys, proc. However, sbackup does not work
under Ubuntu Lucid. So as per discussions in Ubuntu Forums, I installed
nssbackup from deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/nssbackup-team/ppa/ubuntu
lucid main. I set the Excluded directories as stated previously and the
Included directory by using Add Directory and selecting root i.e. the
same method as worked in Ubuntu Karmic. I saved the configuration and
selected Make a Backup Now. The app then created a /root directory on my
file system with approximately 80 hidden files & directories.
