Bug Description
Binary package hint: sbackup
Simple Backup crashs silently if an io error occurs while doing backup and restoration:
If an io error occurs an exception is raised and the creation of a backup fails silently. Same holds for the restore process.
An io error happens for instance if a directory contains a 'socket'. SBackup tries to store this 'file' but the access fails.
At least a message should appear to inform the user that an error happened! The better way would be to catch such non 'files' before storing them.
Version: 0.10.4 and 0.10.5 from repos
Ubuntu: 8.04
Remark: this bug does not exist in NSsbackup.

I confirm this behaviour on Intrepid too. My backup disk was full, but sbackup didn't warned me and the backup was not performed. I realized this after 2 days...
