Comment 5 for bug 290237

I had used "make install" to install the software, and then changed my menu entry to point to the newly installed version (in /usr/local/sbin/ instead of /usr/sbin/).

Now, I have copied the new "sbackupd.py" into my "/usr/share/sbackup/" directory, renaming the old version as you recommended. I am now prompted once when checking the directory, and again when clicking "Backup Now!" after which the backup successfully completes. Excellent. This is the expected behavior.

Thank you for your help. This will be a well-received update for GNOME users. I might mention that the Authentication dialog hangs around until the backup process completes. This is a minor cosmetic issue, however. Do you have a guess as to how long it takes for a patch like this to get from you to the Ubuntu repositories?
