Description
On 25 February I noticed that backintime (root) had not done any backups since 18 February so I attempted to do manual snapshots using both options all I got was "Done No backup needed.". I even set the logging option to All - there was no data. That was with version 1.4.1 so I manually installed version 1.4.3. the problem persisted. I am running Ubuntu 22.04 LTS.
The problem was resolved by doing a reboot - I went to check bactintime (root) and it was working - it took 30 …
[View More]minutes.
The have been no problems with the non root backintime backups.
My suspicion is that a reboot occurred during a backintime (root) backup . The reboot may have been requested a Ubuntu update, I rarely reboot the cystem.
I have the configuration option set so that only one backup job at a time can be active.
Is backintime (root) capable of handling interruptions caused by a reboot?
Is there a lock file that is only cleared after a reboot or completion of a backup?
I am willing to do some testing by disabling root backups for a while and then manually start a snapshot and reboot the system while snapshot is running or before the root backup starts - the non root job seems to run first.
Thanks to all

Hi Folks,
hope that someone with git experience can help me here.
The upstream BIT repo do has several tags [1]. The "latest" is "v1.4.3".
But I can not see this tag in my local repo. There "v1.3.1" is the
latest.
My forked repo has "v1.3.3" as latest [2].
I have two remotes:
$ git remote -v
origin git@github.com:buhtz/backintime.git (fetch)
origin git@github.com:buhtz/backintime.git (push)
upstream git@github.com:bit-team/backintime.git (fetch)
upstream git@github.com:bit-…
[View More]team/backintime.git (push)
Most of the time I do sync my fork via the GitHub frontend and its "Sync
fork" button.
In my local repo I do "git fetch --all --prune --tag" and can see that
"origin" and "upstream" are checked for new data.
That is how I do it. But the tags are not up to date on my local repo.
But the commits are.
Any idea?
Kind
