2014-01-17 00:14:59 Ali Ghorashi summary Unhandled exception in common/snapshots.py:1854 cases hang on "Save Permissions Unhandled exception in common/snapshots.py:1834 cases hang on "Save Permissions"
2014-01-17 00:26:49 Ali Ghorashi description As one of the As one of the last steps, BiT tries to create a symlink to the last backup in function 'create_last_snapshot_symlink'. But if the backup is done to a CIFS mount, os.symlink will throw an OsERR exception which is not handled. This will cause the app to hang with a "Working: Save Permission" message. Suggest putting the name of the last backup in a text file instead of a symlink. Also, when backing up to a CIFS mount, symlinks cannot be backed up. If there was an option to enable the "--no-links" option of rsync and then archive the symlinks separately, then CIFS mount can be used as a backup target.
