No way to determine when a restore completes

[SegundoBob]

Binary package hint: sbackup

When restoring using "Simple Backup Restore" there is no way to determine when the restore operation completes because there is no consistent feedback to the GUI. There is always a pop-up window (eventually) containing "Restoring this might take some time ..." , and this pop-up window sometimes terminates without operator action. Maybe the pop-up terminates when the operation completes, maybe it terminates for other reasons? Sometimes the pop-up never terminates.

To make matters even worse, if the operator terminates the "Restoring this might take some time ..." pop-up window, this seems to abort the restore with no error message and no indication that the restore is left incomplete.

I filed Question #120658 about this problem. "actionparsnip" responded that I should file this bug. So now I have.

I am using Ubuntu Studio 10.04.

Thank you for reporting this bug.

This bug is fixed in version 0.11 of SBackup. It is very unlikely that it will be fixed in Lucid though. As a workaround you can install the latest version from PPA (https://edge.launchpad.net/~nssbackup-team/+archive/ppa )

This is fixed in sbackup >= 0.11 as packaged in Maverick and newer.
