Regarding my problems getting scheduled backups (defined using YaST) to run:
I read another description of scheduling backups in yet another of my SuSE Linux books, and came across some very non-obvious requirements in the notes there. I'll point them out here, in case anyone else is in the same situation as I.
For one, there can be no spaces in the name of a backup. I'm not talking about the backup _file_ name, but the name of the backup itself. So apparently 'full system backup' won't work, but 'full_system_backup' should be okay. According to that book, the backup tool will accept a backup name with a space in it without complaint (as I found out), but the backup won't run.
Also, after scheduling the backup(s), one must restart the computer. Nowhere else did I see any indication of that requirement.
Eh? I doubt that. I can't envision any possible scenario where such an action would require a linux reboot. Perhaps someone cut and pasted from a guide originally written for windows, or some similar silliness? I'd love to see the reference.
