The installation RPM creates a template configuration file which is not acceptable to use to run the program but which is used by the cron script ("/etc/cron.daily/storebackup") simply by virtue of being where it is, in "/etc/storebackup.d/". The cron script does not even discriminate files in that directory based on some kind of name pattern. It just assumes every file there is a well-formed storeBackup configuration file that should be used to run a daily backup.

Well it works over here... did you modify the file /etc/storebackup.d/storebackup.config ? there you need to define what should be back-up, to where and how many versions to keep...
Huh? What did I say? Did I say it didn't work? I said that simply installing it and leaving it as installed leads to the diagnostic from the cron job. I fully understand the situation, it's just that some users could perceive this as a problem (I'd call it a bug, at least in the packaging of the software). I figured it would be worthwhile to give other potential users of this software a heads-up that if they install this software and don't configure it before they go to bed that day, they'll wake up to an error report from cron.
