Description of problem: Draksnapshot now works correctly in Mageia 9, but when I click "apply" (which is also a bit confusing, it should say, "create snapshot" or "create backup"), no backup status is shown. The user may think (in fact I have thought), that the process does not work, since nothing changes after clicking on the "apply" button. Draksnapshot should show the status of the backup, or a detail of what is being done, so that the user can see that the process is working correctly. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Draksnapshot on Mageia 9 How reproducible: Install and configure Draksnapshot. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install Draksnapshot 2. Configure Draksnapshot 3. Apply. Then, don't show nothing about state of backup.
This is a very, very good tool of MCC, We should make that this works very fine for the Mageia users. Thanks and greetings!
Thank you for the report. Certainly a lack of information about what is happening matters. Assigning to the 'tools' group.

Ok, thanks
What appears to be happening, to my untrained eye, is *snapshot* is not creating a snapshot, as no snapshot *create* button is presented. Also snapshot-applet, which would normally present the daily / weekly / monthly event timer, is failing due to compilation errors: # draksnapshot-applet ^* matches null string many times in regex; marked by <-- HERE in m/^* <-- HERE [0-9]$/ at /usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl/MDV/Snapshot/Hal.pm line 58.

I can only confirm that I don't see any applet or anything telling me that the snapshot is taking place, but the external hard drive is flashing and the copy is actually taking place. Greetings.
Any news about this? There are several users in the Telegram groups who ask me about this functionality.
It remains unresolved, one of our good weapons to conquer new users. We should put more effort into fixing this and publicize it like we did with the amdpro packages
Any news about this bug? I'm testing after all the updates we've had to Mageia 9 and the process is the same. Nothing appears about the backup being performed.
