Backup using 'Keep' app?

[candtalan]

I have tried to use the backup app Keep for the first time and I get a long list of errors. I tried uninstaling it and then reinstalling it (using package manager) but this has not changed anything. I cannot see any comments about other packages which are also needed, but I guess that some related packages are missing.

'Keep' looks like a very, very useful app and I would really want to get it working. As easily as possible..... :-)

I would appreciate any pointers please.

Can you post the long list of errors?

Re: Backup using 'Keep' app?

Thanks for the response.

Strange things:
I initially tried using Keep with a temp directory containing one file, and got the errors. (error list is note 1). However, since your response gave no hint that this was an ongoing unresolved problem, I tried yet again, but now created another testing directory containing a pdf file. To my happy surprise, it seemed to work, and certainly gave no errors.

I looked again at the original test and noticed that the file to be backed up is a binary, in fact an incomplete download of an iso file. So I wonder if a [filename].iso.part file is too ambitious for this type of backup, anyway I can live with this apparent limitation if that is what it is.

Thank you again for your interest.
