 ==== Problem with Simple Backup ==== ==== Problem with Simple Backup ====
 This is actually a problem with Simple Backup and not the Stora server.  In Lucid Ubuntu, Simple Backup has been broken and pressing the 'Backup Now!' button kicks off a background task, but does nothing.  There is a fix for this in the pipeline, but in the meantime the backup should be started by typing 'sudo sbackupd' in a shell. This is actually a problem with Simple Backup and not the Stora server.  In Lucid Ubuntu, Simple Backup has been broken and pressing the 'Backup Now!' button kicks off a background task, but does nothing.  There is a fix for this in the pipeline, but in the meantime the backup should be started by typing 'sudo sbackupd' in a shell.

-Despite the Issues and the lack of Linux support, I have to say that I like it! I can put up with the lack of support, (especially if I can find a way onto the Forums) and I've overcome the three-user limit by creating a User for general family use, leaving one for myself and one for my son, who will use it more than anyone other than me.+Despite the Issues and the lack of Linux support, I have to say that I like it!

-If they can show me how to access the hidden backup folder, I'll give it 8 out of 10; if not, that goes down to 7.  Of course, if anyone ever compromises the Netgear site and steals all the passwords, then that would go to -10 and I have to say that this aspect of the way the device is administered is slightly worrying.  Having said that; this is no more risky than someone hacking into a server company's database and grabbing their customers details, so I can live with it+Now I've worked out how to access the hidden backup folder, I'll give it 8 out of 10.  Of course, if anyone ever compromises the Netgear site and steals all the passwords, then that would go to -10 and I have to say that this aspect of the way the device is administered is slightly worrying.  Having said that; this is no more risky than someone hacking into a server company's database and grabbing their customers details, so I can live with it
