I know I can manually copy (or rsync) them from the backup folders, but would like to restore through BiT if possible. I'm backing up my dotfiles, so I will have a copy of ~/.config/backintime/config.\r\n\r\nI'm using Back In Time 1.0.7 on LXLE 12.04 (based on Lubuntu 12.04), and moving to whatever version of Back In Time is on LXLE / Lubuntu 14.04. The update isn't an in-place upgrade; I have to do a fresh installation. Also, some of my profiles backup (and all of them backup to) external hard drives.\r\n\r\n\r\n(I don't see how to add a label, but obviously this is a question)."},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/bit-team/backintime/issues/comments/159780102","html_url":"https://github.com/bit-team/backintime/issues/499#issuecomment-159780102","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/bit-team/backintime/issues/499","id":159780102,"user":{"login":"colintedford","id":10161579,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/10161579?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/colintedford","html_url":"https://github.com/colintedford","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/colintedford/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/colintedford/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/colintedford/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/colintedford/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/colintedford/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/colintedford/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/colintedford/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/colintedford/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/colintedford/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2015-11-26T02:01:07Z","updated_at":"2015-11-26T02:01:07Z","body":"Ah, <code>gparted</code> I've used before (though not for that).
