#1146 PR merged: Forbid BACKUP_URL=usb for BACKUP_TYPE=incremental/differential

Labels: documentation, fixed / solved / done, minor bug

jsmeix opened issue at 2017-01-02 12:43:

Incremental or differential backup is currently
only known to work with BACKUP_URL=nfs://.
Other BACKUP_URL schemes may work but at least
BACKUP_URL=usb:///... is known not to work with
incremental or differential backup, see
https://github.com/rear/rear/issues/1141
and
https://github.com/rear/rear/issues/1145

@gdha
if it is o.k. for you I would like to have that test in ReaR 2.0
to avoid that users use incremental/differential backup
with BACKUP_URL=usb

@gdha
if you do not object, I would like to merge it tomorrow.
