User tmkoeln describes in bug 10251 that the vnstat data isn't saved. My investigation showed that there is general bug in backup.pl, which doesn't save a bunch of directories. Browsing through git showed that this bug is introduced years ago. Therefore my question: Are there other "strange" issues with backup/restore?
If I fix this known bug it would help knowing about other abnormalities. ;)
A workaround for the moment is posted in bugzilla.
Regards Bernhard
I personally don't use the backup feature, so I cannot tell if there are any "abnormalities".
Could you please upload a patch that fixes the issue #10251 in *your* opinion. It does not matter if you get it right in the first place or not.

The first patch aka workaround is there. As described in my post about issue #10251 a small change in the configs ( include, exclude ) switches off the wrong behaviour.
But as Thomas only missed his vnstat files, I only looked at this problem till now.

The last post by Arne in BugZilla brings me to the question: Which files shall be saved and which not?
The script /var/ipfire/backup/bin/backup.pl together with the configs include and exclude do NOT the job intendeded, as I interpret it, at the moment.
Surprisingly nobody complaint so far. I think the usual handing by the users was and is: backup-->restore-->rebuild info that is missing. But the last step shoukdn't be necessary!
