I was specifying a non-existent drive (D:) for the Destination. The ampersand is not a problem.

I have both Windows Vista and Ubuntu (Linux) installed on the “C” drive on my laptop computer. I am transitioning from Vista to Ubuntu, because I find Ubuntu to be a much faster operating system, but I am still learning how it works.

In APBackUp, run under Wine on Ubuntu, when selecting sources and destination, the drives listed on my computer are C, D, E, G, K, Z. But investigation shows that D, E and K do not actually exist.

APBackup on Ubuntu does not recognise the “D” drive as “D”, but as Z:\media\computer name\drive name where computer name and drive name are the particular names in use. If I select this as the Destination, then it works perfectly.

So now, for me, APBackUp works very well on Ubuntu using the “Wine Windows Program Loader”.

I think APBackUp, with its multi-depth backup, and backup on file change, is by far the best back-up program available.

I hope this will help others starting to use APBackUp on Ubuntu.

I have just a couple of inconveniences when used in Ubuntu, which I shall cover in another thread
