I have been using backintime since Fedora 11. Since Fedora 14, it no longer works. I have been unable to get it working. Finally, I did a F14 reinstall which did not change the situation at all. Is there a known problem with backintime on F14? (I have two other machines running F13 which work fine with backintime.)
Anyone else seen this? Thanks,
Dick Roark

What is backintime? What does "it no longer works" mean?

As for "what it is"....
Description: Back In Time is a simple backup system for Linux inspired from : “flyback project” and “TimeVault”. The backup is done by taking : snapshots of a specified set of directories. : : This package contains non GUI files used by different GUI fontends.
As for "what does no longer works" mean? That is the question on my mind.....

Yes, I can look it up as well. My point was, it's tiresome to have to look it up just because the OP can't be bothered to add as much as a URL. (This is a package which -- despite what the website says -- is not in the standard repos.) Consider my rhetorical question a hint that he might want to polish his question-asking skills.

Yes, inquiring minds want to know.

I knew that.... :-)
But, what you just said is probably what you should have said in the first place. Being too subtle can fly over many people's heads.

FWIW, when he forwarded the same message to the list I wonder(ed) if he has fallen into the "gmail doesn't display messages sent "from" you in your inbox" problem.

I've been using backintime successfully on F-14. However now that I look, the last successful backup was February 12th.
Just starting it this morning I got this message:
==> Back In Time changed its backup format.
Your old snapshots can be moved according to this new format. OK? [No] [Yes] <==
Perhaps the problem you are seeing is due to this?

Further to what I said previously, I now see the same problem.
I've filed a bug report: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=683800
