Thanks
I was also a little disappointed, I felt that I made a legitimately useful plasmoid, as well as a new take on the configuration of applet-based tuners.
Such is life, it won’t prevent me from contributing to KDE in the future though I would admit it would have been nice to go to a developer event.
]]>Also, you mentioned if it was possible to backup a single file of a backup set on demand….I looked into this and it doesn’t appear that it’s currently in the mainline, but request has been made for a –ignore option, which I think would allow for this ability. You could include the file(s) you wish to backup and ignore the others….I played with the CLI options and ended up just deleting the rest of the backup set.
]]>I’ve been digging through the source of your git tree to see where I could add functionality. So far, I’ve just been playing with CPack to make Debian packages (I primarily use Ubuntu). When and if I get that working, I’ll float the patch your way.
I had some questions regarding the current tree though:
1. Is the top-level README still accurate? It doesn’t look like you use rdiff-backup anywhere in the code anymore, for example. I see a call to rsync, but that’s it.
2. What is the purpose for libmica? Obviously it provides the interface for snapshots and deltas, but is this your implementation of the rdiff-backup or is this an abstraction?
3. Is the current plan to get local backups to work and then add-in support for remote locations, or is your focus solely on local drives?
If you could add some general description of the components timevault to the repository, I’d love to hack around on it a bit. For example, I’d really love some slick Dolphin integration for restoration of files. I think what you have in terms of the settings module and service menu is great work and I’m excited to see where this goes and help out if possible.
Thanks!
]]>Sort of an off-topic comment but I’d like to congratulate you on writing such a nifty application for the Javascript Jam, much like TimeVault!
It was really saddening to see it come a close second under all titles, it should’ve won at least one title. Anyhow, keep up the great work! Will keep an eye out for your applications yet again for another jam/contest/challenge another day!
]]>With that in mind, I only did the servicemenus because they provided a really really quick way to get semi-gui restores now rather than later. And that’s important for me because I want to use timevault as my main backup to ensure that it’s being tested and I can’t do that without being able to restore files.
]]>Don’t know if that would be of any help in your situation, though.
