Actually the Regexp looks better if it is

/home/[^/]+?/\.local/share/Trash/

instead of

/home/[^/]+?/Trash

For 0.10.5 that would make a patch like this

diff -Nru sbackup-0.10.5/sbackup.conf.example sbackup-0.10.5-new/sbackup.conf.example

Is this bug fixed in Karmic or Lucid or not?

[Juan Simón (simonbcn)]

Incredible but no!! It isn't fixed yet. My sbackup has: "/home/[^/]+?/\.Trash"
A bug so simple to correct, 2 years old and it's still unsolved!!! o_O

[Oumar Aziz OUATTARA (wattazoum)]

I believe that SBackup has been updated on lucid. I suggest that you try NSsbackup. Look for it on Launchpad.

Changing status for sbackup 0.11 to 'Invalid' because it uses following regular expressions for exclusion by default:

\.mp3$
\.avi$
\.mpeg$
\.mkv$
\.ogg$
\.iso$
/home/[^/]+?/\.gvfs/
/home/[^/]+?/\.thumbnails/
/home/[^/]+?/\..+/[tT]rash/
/home/[^/]+?/\..+/[cC]ache/
~$

[Jean-Peer Lorenz (peer.loz)]

Changing status for sbackup 0.10 to 'Confirmed' because it uses following regular expressions:

/home/[^/]+?/\.thumbnails/
/home/[^/]+?/\.Trash
/home/[^/]+?/\..+/[cC]ache
/home/[^/]+?/\.gvfs/
