Lost everything from group share

[robaq]

Just to see, on my test ebox, I backed up the configuration. Then restored it. It did indeed delete the user files when restoring a configuration backup. This should not be..  or at the very least, it should warn you. As most people would assume a "configuration" restore would not touch the user data..

  Installed: 1.2.8-0ubuntu1~ppa1~hardy1
  Candidate: 1.2.8-0ubuntu1~ppa1~hardy1
  Version table:
 *** 1.2.8-0ubuntu1~ppa1~hardy1 0

It means I found a bug

The worst thing is that I still have no luck with restoring my files.
I really don't like the EXT3 file system.

What we are going to do is the following:

- Warn the user
- Move the old directories to /home/samba/prerestore-backup or something like that

I hope to upload a new package including this during this week.

Sorry again for any inconvenience.

Thanks Javi,
That should work, as long as disk space is not an issue.
Of course, I'm now trying to imagine under what circumstances would I want to do a configuration restore. When testing, right before production I guess.

Disk space won't be an issue. I'ts a "move" operation within the same file system, it boils down to just a renaming
