Big bug: cronopete move home folder to another name

[maieul]

Hi,

just some minutes ago, it happens a strange thing.
Cronopete start it backup. But instead of rsync /home/username to the backup device, it move it to /home/2018_10_01_18:12:34:15384135.

Consequently : not any program was able to find its file. I created in emergency an user, restart, and opening session of this user, I see tha

t the files was kept (cf screenshot).

What????????? That makes no sense...

Which backend are you using?

[maieul]

That what I think first, but I can ensure you that happens, when cronopete start it process... I was a big afraid.
I am on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS.

[rastersoft]

No, no... which backend, in cronopete. Are you using the default rsync backend for an external hard disk, or are you using the backend for storing the backups in a folder?

[rastersoft]

Does it happens always, or only once?

[maieul]

only once, this afternoon. I have used cronopete since one year, and it didn't happens in the past

[rastersoft]

And which backend, in cronopete. Are you using the default rsync backend for an external hard disk, or are you using the backend for storing the backups in a folder?

[maieul]

to store in an external disk.

[rastersoft]

I will check all the places where I rename folders... but it is very odd...

[maieul]

yeah...

[maieul]

I use cronopete 4.4.0

[rastersoft]

Please, update to version 4.6.0.

[maieul]

done

[rastersoft]

Ok. It fixes a problem when there are blank spaces. Just in case. Anyway, I'm checking the code.

[maieul]

thanks.

No space in my disk name.

[rastersoft]

Yes, but the bug triggered by that could also be triggered by other "odd elements", so just to be sure...

[maieul]

same problem today. Maybe the problem happens when the external hard disk is disconnected for any reason when processing to the backup.
