There apprently is a backup service in Fedora, which can automatically copy files to various "cloud-services" or other places. What is needed to be able to add /var/log/yum.log to the files that are backed up. The file is greyed out, and I can't select it. How do I solve this or should I go for some other tool for this?

OK, maybe I didn't remember permissions correctly - but I can set up a cron job copying the file to /home/martin and grab it from there instead.

Or you could change the permissions on that file to allow other users to read it. That one's probably not particularly sensitive.

Unless you're running the backup as root (Something I don't recommend.) you're not going to be able to include it.

Hmm, No I'm not running backup as root. OK, maybe I didn't remember permissions correctly - but I can set up a cron job copying the file to /home/martin and grab it from there instead. /Martin S
