Problems with incremental backup #94

Open dbolgheroni opened 9 years ago

dbolgheroni commented 9 years ago

I've made a initial backup of a dir as in:

$ ct -cvf mydrive.ct mydrive/

Now I trying to make an incremental backup based on the backup before:

$ ct -B mydrive.ct -cf mydrive-1.ct mydrive/
incremental basis in remote mode

I'm following the FAQ. Any help here? Thank you.

Here is what I use for automatic Daily incremental backups (via crontab): ct -cfH my_sync1.ct /mnt/synchronline/user

It's most likely that in your config file (~/.cyphertite/cyphertite.conf) you have a line like: ctfile_mode = remote

If you change the "remote" value to "local" your incrementals will work.
I'm not sure why, but cyphertite needs to store local ctfiles for incremental backups instead of storing them remotely.
