SOLVED Backup entries missing in Advanced / Backup

[Scott Williams]

I have just installed on Debian 8.7.1 and am missing the source paths in Advanced / Backup.

I checked in Advanced / Default Settings and Backup is not referenced there either.

How can I fix this?

Thanks,
Scott

Hi Scott,

there are no default values - I added the following list to my setup based on recommendations found on the IRC channel:

Great, thanks! Is there a file somewhere to edit to add these?

Hi Scott,

this section is under Advanced - Default Settings

Put backup in the search box at the top. If nothing is returned, click on the + at the beginning of one of the sections.

Replace the category with backup and fill in the rest of the sections as you see in the graphic above.

Category: backup
Subcategory: path
Type: array
Value: <path>
Enabled: true

Click save and you will have created a new section. Repeat until you have covered all the items.

If your deployment is serious, more then an experiment, I would recommend you a more serious back up solution such as bacula
