sbackup

Not possible to launch sbackup

Asked by Lagoda

Hi,
I have change place of logfile.
But after close sbackup i have delete my logfile folder.
After it is not psosible to launch sbackup (without re-create folder same as the start).
I send you this because it is write to send this information.

Hi,

You configured sbackup to write in a log directory in which you don't have the permission to write yourself. The previous log folder was writable to your user '/home/xxxxxxx/.local/share/sbackup/log/sbackup.log' .

To Fix the configuration
------------------------

- Edit the file $HOME/.config/sbackup/sbackup.conf
- Change the log.file parameter back to a folder in which you can write.
- launch SBACKUP configuration gui

What you probably wanted to do
------------------------------

Launch sbackup in admin mode: gksudo sbackup-config-gtk

Then you have access to Scheduling option and have access rights to every directories.
