[Server-devel] Backup and Recovery

[Hamilton Chua]

Hi Martin,

We are using XS v 06d5, Sugar 0.84 and the ds-backup rpm from
http://dev.laptop.org/~martin/public_rpms/joyride/ds-backup-client-0.8.1-1.olpc3.noarch.rpm

All modifications are in the latest patches in 
http://dev.sugarlabs.org/ticket/1124

I'm in the process of debugging the problem. It's either when backup is
made or when the restore file is downloaded. I have inspected the files
in /library/users in the XS and it look like the metdata is properly
created. 

Best,

Hamilton
