[IDEA] XBian-backup

[Skywatch]

My drives are SMB mounts.

I checked today and what I find is amazing!

All pi have started working again by themselves. All are backing up to the smb share once a day (although still during working hours, grrr).

*BUT*....

On all 4 pi the /etc/default/xbian-snap files are truncated now with nothing below the line EXLUCDESUB= in that file.....*and* the EXCLUDESUB= is now at the bottom of the file too!!!

I am sure that I have done none of this as I have had no time to play with these machines this week, so unless I am doing this in my sleep it is totally baffling!

I have put the files how they were and am rebooting; lets see what treats that leads to!

------UPDATE-----

Well this is interesting. I decided to try out 17A2 and so enabled devl. One upgrade was showing but would not download due to an 'error' in /etc/default/xbian-snap. I simply commented out all the 'home' backup lines as well as the Excludesub line and hey presto it worked and upgraded! So something is going on that is beyond my level of knowledge (not hard to do)
