Also it finished MUCH faster - in under 10 minutes, rather than the ~25 it takes through luckybackup. And then, having run the rsync directly, I ran it again through LB and it didn't lock, and took 8 minutes. I am this close to just declaring this computer haunted. If it starts happening again, I'll poke my nose back in. Thank you for the troubleshooting step!June R.Thu, 08 Jan 2026 02:32:39 -0000https://sourceforge.net/p/luckybackup/discussion/873563/thread/b0afffc476/?limit=25#257dhttps://sourceforge.net/p/luckybackup/discussion/873563/thread/b0afffc476/?limit=25#57dbIt would be helpful if I checked in to see what someone said, oops. It does not lock immediately - the backup runs for a bit, then X freezes. The display stops updating, but it's not constant - it'll unlock for a few frames every minute or two, and the window updates, but nothing shows up oddly. I also ssh'd into the machine and that doesn't lock, it responds normally. As does the desktop itself, if I switch from X to a text terminal before the backup. i will try the rsync in terminal later when...June R.Wed, 07 Jan 2026 18:28:51 -0000https://sourceforge.net/p/luckybackup/discussion/873563/thread/b0afffc476/?limit=25#57dbhttps://sourceforge.net/p/luckybackup/discussion/873563/thread/b0afffc476/?limit=25#aff0hello June :) Are you able to see any feedback at the commands output window when the task is running? does the freeze happen immediately when the task starts eg when rsync is calculating the files to be transferred or at some specific file/folder? If you run only the rsync command, at a terminal, does it also freeze? Task properties->validate->copy command to clipboard and then paste it at the terminal.Loukas AvgeriouSun, 21 Dec 2025 10:13:18 -0000https://sourceforge.net/p/luckybackup/discussion/873563/thread/b0afffc476/?limit=25#aff0https://sourceforge.net/p/luckybackup/discussion/873563/thread/b0afffc476/?limit=25#9970I hope someone can help, because this problem makes no sense. I use luckyBackup to run several tasks, but for some reason when I back up /home/myusername, a few minutes in my X11 session hangs. I can move the mouse, but the screen doesn't update and I can't interact with things. I can't even use the keyboard to switch to a tty.

In the end you will end up with 2 identical directories! So, no it is not (directly) possible to reorganize the files, if you keep the same root source folder. Maybe you can split it in smaller tasks which will move directories from A to where you would like them in B. Also be careful, if you reorganize manually drive A, if you run the PC -> drive A, then A will end up just like before...Loukas AvgeriouWed, 29 Oct 2025 16:45:14 -0000https://sourceforge.net/p/luckybackup/discussion/873563/thread/ab219fb71b/?limit=25#7158https://sourceforge.net/p/luckybackup/discussion/873563/thread/ab219fb71b/?limit=25#9a0fLinux Mint 22.2 Zara, Cinnamon luckyBackup 0.5.0 I am presently backing up files in my computer (/home), mostly from the Documents folder, to drive A.

What I understood from repeated experiments, by deleting the user's crontab and starting fresh. I consider this another issue of the Cinnamon environment, among many other minor bugs I am in the process of resolving. The process of creating a crontab by Linux Mint Cinnamon 22.1 OS - is not saving the LB entry correctly. So, in bash, using crontab -e, and repeated ctrl+o and ctrl+x without editing the original.

For safety reasons, check if the folder paths are correct at the 2nd configuration before you go on clicking run.

They shouldn't occupy that much space. Even if you have thousands of lines, the log should be MBs.

For the scenario if your home gets corrupted you can import the profile directly from the destination again. The error message means that this backup failed, for some reason. Your task (that run just after) seems to have finished successful. There should be another bunch of lines at the output, unless you have checked "quite mode" during the run.Loukas AvgeriouMon, 03 Jun 2024 07:25:25 -0000https://sourceforge.net/p/luckybackup/discussion/873564/thread/e0dfc9424a/?limit=25#1254https://sourceforge.net/p/luckybackup/discussion/873564/thread/e0dfc9424a/?limit=25#73b3Hi.

You can temporarily run a test by issuing the command xhost + Unfortunately I am not the right person to guide you through this, but eventually you will need to apply a permanent solution. The wayland forums might prove useful.

You can see it at the address bar of your file browser. To make sure you use the correct one, click "modify" to open the task properties dialogue and then click the little folder icon next to the destination path. Navigate to your external HDD path from the available tree structure.

The older snapshots data (only files that were deleted or modified inbetween 2 runs) are stored inside the destination, under hidden folder ".luckybackup-snaphots/". You should find one timestamped folder for each older snapshot inside that.Loukas AvgeriouWed, 17 May 2023 06:04:07 -0000https://sourceforge.net/p/luckybackup/discussion/873563/thread/838f10623a/?limit=25#61d8https://sourceforge.net/p/luckybackup/discussion/873563/thread/838f10623a/?limit=25#aef3For the first time, I used the ability to get two backups, the curent day and the day-1 ones, by setting to "2" "snapshots to keep" I expect that luckybackup creates 2 folders for each one.

My rsync is version 3.2.7 protocol version 31. System is Ubuntu Studio 22.04.2 LTS Also --trust sender doesn't help. The difference may be: I use a remote rsync daemon, which is rsync version 3.1.3 protocol version 31 on Xubuntu 20.04.6 LTS Is it possible, that a --trust sender at the daemon side would do the trick? Oh no, rsync version 3.1.3 doesnt support --trust sender.

But if you have set the "snapshots to keep" No at eg 3 and have performed 4 runs, then the old snapshots are deleted.Loukas AvgeriouSat, 04 Mar 2023 17:23:31 -0000https://sourceforge.net/p/luckybackup/discussion/873564/thread/ae8f165b19/?limit=25#8d5bhttps://sourceforge.net/p/luckybackup/discussion/873564/thread/ae8f165b19/?limit=25#7725So I should see names of files and folders I recognize in /media/mydestination/.luckybackup-snapshots, else they are gone.

I also want a single replacement of the current files. I don't want files deleted between backups to be restored. Also, I don't want copies within copies. It confuses users like myself. Perhaps the captions are confusing for some of us?ineuwWed, 21 Dec 2022 20:26:45 -0000https://sourceforge.net/p/luckybackup/discussion/873564/thread/f6a8d77092/?limit=25#9eeahttps://sourceforge.net/p/luckybackup/discussion/873564/thread/493dd6b39e/?limit=25#3c7fThanks . .

You have to either mount it at an address that starts with"/" (eg /media/remoteSHARE/) or use the remote feature and connect to your iMac by using it's IP address or hostname. It's more complicated than it should be, I knowLoukas AvgeriouSun, 27 Nov 2022 18:12:56 -0000https://sourceforge.net/p/luckybackup/discussion/873564/thread/493dd6b39e/?limit=25#66e8https://sourceforge.net/p/luckybackup/discussion/873564/thread/493dd6b39e/?limit=25#f65aI have the iMac mounted locally on Linux Mint.

I have tried both and they work. The first one by using samba or nfs at the Mac and "cifs" or "nfs" at my /etc/fstab file and the remote with ssh after setting up a passwordless connection with an OpenSSH key pair. I know, it's not very straightforward but once you set it up, it just worksLoukas AvgeriouFri, 25 Nov 2022 06:35:57 -0000https://sourceforge.net/p/luckybackup/discussion/873564/thread/493dd6b39e/?limit=25#06e7https://sourceforge.net/p/luckybackup/discussion/873564/thread/493dd6b39e/?limit=25#b73aI'm using LinuxMint20 on a Dell Latitude.

I am able to see the contents of the iMac on my Dell, but not the other way around. Since I am pulling from the iMac to the Dell, I'm hoping this is okay.

The program is active but doesn't do anything; no CPU utilization, no reads or writes, no anything. Until the update, it was fine. Now I have no idea how to fix things. I have reoved LB, and reinstalled it. That didn't help. I suppose I could reboot.
