It all should be simple, but I probably miss some detail:
Any suggestions, please?

Re-launched the BackInTime GUI from the command line (previously was launched via KDE launcher) and seen a message:
QInotifyFileSystemWatcherEngine::addPaths: inotify_add_watch failed: No such file or directory QFileSystemWatcher: failed to add paths: /home/breakphreak/.config/ibus/bus
When created the directory that wasn't there (/home/breakphreak/.config/ibus/bus), the restore button triggered an action but with a little success: got the following message:
INFO: Restore: /mnt/raid/pix/pic.jpg rsync: mkstemp "/mnt/raid/pix/.pic.jpg.2Zv0IT" failed: Permission denied (13) rsync error: some files/attrs were not transferred (see previous errors) (code 23) at main.c(1060) [sender=3.0.7] WARNING: Command "rsync -rtDH --links --no-p --no-g --no-o -R --backup --suffix=.backup.20110525 "/mnt/backup/backintime/beatkeeper/breakphreak/1/20110524-113821-277/backup/./mnt/raid/pix/pic.jpg" /" returns 5888 INFO: Restore permissions
Opened a bug.

If all else fails, you can always restore manually from the last snapshot. Go inspect the backup with a file browser: you will see that all your files are there.

that's true, but what is the function of the "restore" button in that case? how about other snapshots then? – BreakPhreak – 2011-05-24T09:47:28.320
1Ok, other snapshots work fine and the files are restored using the drag-n-drop interface. If noone will answer otherwise - I'd assume that the "restore" button is kinda bug and will mark your answer as the only real one (at least for my case). – BreakPhreak – 2011-05-24T10:05:08.653
Meanwhile, have another problem with BackInTime, just for a case that someone from the readers/repliers would like to have a look: http://superuser.com/questions/287854/backintipe-kompare-cannot-parse-diff-output-when-comparing-snapshots - if it is against the policy - kindly tell and I will remove it.
1I think you should definitely file a bug. – Peltier – 2011-05-24T10:27:24.163
Just submitted the bug (along with two others) to the team. We will see if it works. Thanks. – BreakPhreak – 2011-05-25T21:08:09.870

I have the same issue and I opened the Backintime gui from the command line using sudo and it works. I needed to adjust the user in the profile options (from root to my user).

It doesn't seem like the software is updated anymore. – Apache – 2011-05-25T21:17:06.387
