BIT silently failing while not performing backups – should notify user instead #650

Closed bentolor closed 8 years ago

bentolor commented 8 years ago

Actual behavior

A backup of / which I perform as root silently fails and reports "nothing to do".

The critical issue for me is, that I stumbled upon this only, because the last backup is two months old and I concluded that at least /boot has changes. Only after starting bit via pkexec backintime-qt I was able to spot the issues.

Expected behavior

A big fat "error" entry in the snapshot list
