Simplebackup fails to start

[Alex Moldovan]

After installation, simplebackup is not found in the menu. Trying to start the program from Terminal I get:

stat: cannot stat `/home/alex/.simplebackup.conf': No such file or directory
/usr/bin/simplebackup: line 81: /home/alex/.simplebackup.conf: No such file or directory

Trying to run it as root gives the same error message. Apparently there's no configuration file created upon installation. I couldn't find a sample file to test.

I can confirm this bug on Ubuntu 13.04, which has version 0.1.6.

Here is a sample of simplebackup.conf. Just copy its content to ~/.simplebackup.conf . I think you will also have to manually create backup directory ( /backup )
