External harddrive overwritten as xbian-copy

Quote:You can grep the file /etc/default/xbian-snap, maybe there is a /dev/sdX device configured

Yup, there it is...

Code:

# path to img including file name (/media/my_disk/xbian_backup.img) or block device (/dev/sda1)
IMGDEST="/dev/sda1"

# how many images should be kept (0 means unlimited)
IMGKEEP=0

# auto backup of /home should be run: none/daily/weekly/monthly
HOMEPLAN=monthly

# path to img.gz including file name (/media/my_disk/xbian_home_backup.img.gz)
HOMEDEST="notset"

# how many /home images should be kept (0 means unlimited)
HOMEKEEP=0

I wonder whether it would be safer in general to define the backup location by UUID rather than device. Otherwise this can occur whenever someone changes their hard disk configuration... I did not remember at all that I had set up a backup way back when.
