Hiya Guys
I have carried out Timeshift backs previously without issue (I believe) however after a recent backup I found strange things occuring/not occuring. I noticed initially after transferring images from my camera to the laptop, they transferred and could be viewed however when I went to attach them to an email this failed, and a prompt advised that the files were 0kb. Next I made changes to my CherryTree note taking app, and upon re-opening no changes had been made. I also experienced issues with my SuperProductivity backup (to DropBox) failing.
I did the Timeshift backup again and stalked the backup code that flashed by on screen with my phone camera. I noticed the following;
Error: some files/attrs were not transferred (see previous errors) (code 23) at main.c(.........
I have flapped about in var/ and other locations and it seems to me as though the permissions for some softwares are Owner: Root, Group: Root, and with the Group denied access to read/write. So, firstly, is this causing the bizarre issues I have experienced since the restore?
Secondly, is there a way of overcoming/restoring these issues please.
I guess finally, I have since come across other reports of Timeshift backups and I am considering Clonezilla as a backup tool, so would this be recommended, or am I jumping ship too early.
Many Thanks
