Versioned Backup/Kup to Existing Destination

Hello!

New to Linux, KDE and Kup and I first want to start out saying Kup/bup is awesome! The UI to this stuff is excellent and the versioned backups are truly amazing with regard to how fast they run and how little space ~1000 versions of my backup takes!

That said, I just got a new machine and restored my stuff from the latest backup version, and it’s awesome! However, I now setup a backup plan on this new machine with the same destination as my previous machine and it’s asking me “Do you want to save a first backup now?”

I guess I have to say yes, but is it going to wipe out what’s in the destination and overwrite my backup with 1000 versions (and take a very along time while doing so)? My hope it that it will simply make a quick new version 1001, but I’m weary to click Yes to the question without some reassurance.

So anyone with KDE Kup/bup experience that can shed some light here?

Thank you!

Well, for someone else that comes across this in the future, the answer is it does the right thing and saves version 1001! While it took a bit of time, I imagine most of this was related to what might have changed as a full backup would have taken much, much longer!
