It is backing up itself ! #18

Closed sasagr closed 5 years ago

sasagr commented 5 years ago

I have this problem. My external drive (for backup and other stuff) is mounted at boot in fstab and shared with smb. The location for the mount in mnt/usbsd. When I start the backup I see that it back up also mnt/usbsd, where there is already the .img file. So it makes a back up of itself?? Is there something I can do to avoid it? or maybe add a function to skip "itself" back up?

the problem was on the way the ext disk was mounted

What was the issue with the way your ext disk was mounted? I'm having the same issue. Thx.
