No snapper only covers root (BTRFS) Don’t think snapper can be used on XFS even so it is not really suitable for home or places a large amount of changes may happen. Best to do conventual backups for your data. Remember it is not a backup like RAID is not a backup. You lose the drive or file system is corrupted snapper goes also. It is more a version control system then a backup

Hey Hawake,

in the IRC Channel KDE utils somebody told me the versione should be compatible, at least kwallet5 should be able to read kwallet4 wallets. I lost my 42.1 as i ran an upgrade. Kwallet4 still was present and when i encountered problems with kwalet dissappearing i found, that kwallet4 and kwallet5 were both running an having some sort of conklict causing high CPU loads. Therefore i uninstalled kwallet4.

Thanks for the link. But my kwallet4 WAS present for about 2 months after upgrade and migration seems to have run through fine because i used my “old” wallet for almost 2 months without problems.

cheers

Ok, so let’s try recovering those files. Read the following links: How to recover a removed file under Linux? - Super User , data recovery - Recover deleted files on Linux - Unix & Linux Stack Exchange , http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-software-2/how-do-i-undelete-files-on-an-xfs-filesystem-718787/ .

I hope you can find something useful and working there,

Bye
