@Daniel: (Thanks for the compliments, and it's my second language).
@ everybody:
I want to use TimeVault to backup documents from my /home (Photos, music, documents...) so it seems to be ok with TV.
I think I'm going to try to install it but I never used bazaar before, so I'm going to read carefully the documentation of bazaar before continuing.
I have got another question because of my complex /home. Does TV follow hardlinks? Because many of my documents are placed on a FAT32 partition and my home is composed of folders that are in fact hardlinks to other folders on that FAT32 partition.
@Andrew: You've said that the goals of your new project TimeVaultNG has deviated from these of TimeVault, what are these new goals?
And just to know, does the actual state of this branch answers the goals that were written at the beginning? :
"TimeVault should notice that it's a removable drive when I set the root save path to the drive
TimeVault should only write my backups when the drive is plugged in
TimeVault should remind me to plug in my drive when I try and make a manual snapshot and it's not plugged in"
When you write "As long as you stop the timevault daemon while your drive is unplugged you should be fine." does it significate that I have to quit TimeVault everytime I unplug my drive?
Thanks a lot for your answers and for your work!
Adrian
