Re: Trucrypt Container Files.

sorry if i confused matters.

i would like to be able to use your back up utility to manually backup my TC container when it is dismounted.

at the moment i delete the file and re-copy it across to my USB drive, but it would be great if i could click “update SDA2″ and have it quickly adjust the backup for the diffs between the main container and the container on the USB drive.

is that possible?

Then you could ask the dolphin usability team the right to do a proper backup plugin with a time slider and a QDockWidget for managinf backups. As long as it is well integrated I hope they won't say no. It would be so great to have a backup system (using diff and not full copy, is possible) well integrated in Dolphin (and by default, if possible). Both OSX and Vista+ have one.

Is that feature planned?

I can't mess with them. So although that would be much better, I can't do it :( 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. @fri13

However, I've read about openSUSE Build Service (http://en.opensuse.org/Build_Service) which is supposed to enable developers to create one package that is automatically built for multiple distributions (http://en.opensuse.org/Build_Service/supported_build_targets). Don't know if that would be of any help in your situation, though. I’m not a packager, so my terminology might be off.

(4.3.80) The timevault does not come to the system settings and still offers the same timevault and timevault-backup binaries what just shows the dateview. I have just updated git when posting this, after following README (and even restarted). The README told to run "sudo /etc/init.d/dbus reload" what is not possible because dbus is not located there, I though reboothing whole system instead just relogin would do the trick. After that it was demanded to manually run timevault. And if wanted to get precompiled packages for multiple distributions, use openSUSE buildservice. You should get all from there yourself. Ask opensuse channel more information about it. Oh, and I can not get timevault work on Mandriva Cooker with KDE SC 4.4 Beta 1. (4.3.80)

What if the restored filename would include the date when the file was modified? So you could easily restore different versions without renaming last restored file itself? So you would end up to have example_restored-modifieddate.odt from the original file named example.odt And then if possible, have the restoration menu show the backupped file modification dates. Example last backup (2009-12-31 or 24:59) last hour (23:59) Yesterday (2009-12-30) Last week (2009-12-23) Last month (2009-11-31) Last year (2008-12-31) The day when timevault gets sidepanel restoration... it will come very creat. Seeing a calender on right side where you could just browse the dates by clicking it and the fileview would change to reflect the current folder from backup. “The file/folder gets restored to filename.restored so you don’t have to worry about overwriting your current version.”

You'd be surprised, those ropes are way stronger than they appear. But yeah, they were all replaced the year after I took that photo. @Daniel haha!
