I'm running Flyback 0.6.5-1-lucid over Debian Squeeze (testing). I need run this release because I have the same problem reported on Issue #89

Problem: Flyback don't recognize a remote folder and tell me to "Select a USB/e-Sata device" as destination of backup.

My remote folder is a Home Storage (Qnap TS109II) mounted with smb4k (KDE).

What I wanna?

• I would like that Flyback have an option to allow me select where I need storage my backup.

• I need an option to EXCLUDE some folders that I don't like backuped. (e.g. Backup /home/user, but NOT /home/user/smb4k). I don't know if this option already exist, because I can't use Flyback yet.

It isn't the file system that matters (FAT, EXT, etc.). For local disks the only qualifier is that Flyback has write permissions at the root of the mount. So if you have a USB disk mounted at /media/usbdrive, but you only have write permission at /media/usbdrive/myaccount/, Flyback will ignore it.

For network mapped drives, you have to make a connection with GVFS, and you MUST be part of the FUSE group in order for an entry to be created in ~/.gvfs. Same rules apply as above, you'll need write access to the root of the networked mount. Once all that is satisfied, Flyback will allow backups.

This information should be written up a little better and put in to a FAQ, it would eliminate a lot of headaches.

I put a USB Pendrive (8Gb) and I have permission to write on /media/KINGSTON, but Flyback don't recognized it.

I tryied search something on Google about gvfs and I checked that I will need a gvfs-server running on the NAS. I don't have this option available.

Sorry, but I changed to BackInTime and all is running well.

I think that Flyback need a better user-friendly config.
