Bug Description

Binary package hint: sbackup

In gutsy, sbackup apparently ignoers the max file size. I have it set to 10MB with the GUI, and this is what I get in /etc/sbackup.conf:

maxsize = 10485760

Nonetheless, my full backup includes files far bigger than 10 MB.

Same happens here. This is an updated Gutsy system.

Does it work for you?

Sorry for the delay. At last, just before going to vacation, I had the time to check and yes, it does make a difference. I tried both with and without the patch. Files bigger than maxsize are not backed up with a patched sbackupd.py.

Thank you

Here is the patch from the user drakosha from the sf.net patch tracker. What else can I do to get it fixed in intrepid?
