I check all the forum plus google during 3 days and now I am lost Regards,
lad dir die aktuelle version unter herunter: http://sourceforge.net/projects/ftplicity/ vorsicht, die configvariablen heißen nun anders
@donut: is there a newer version there? I just patched this manually as the commands how to execute duplicity (what ftplicity actually does) differ since the upgrade of debian. Eventhough it is the german forum, i posted it here: http://www.howtoforge.de/forum/showthread.php?p=9563&highlight=ftplicity#post9563 In case you do not get it translated, just drop me a PN I will translate it then.
i am german yes the version is newer than the ct-version. i am working with ubuntu 9.04 - the ct-version did not work for me. i got erros like "wrong timestamp". its not the same error as mentioned in the german posting. the latest version of ftplicity i found at sf.net works perfect.. there are some changes.. you can use many profiles and the config variables are in english.
