Description Carsten Pfeiffer 2005-10-05 16:15:19 UTC
Version:           1.1.3 (using KDE 3.4.2, Debian Package 4:3.4.2-4 (testing/unstable))
Compiler:          Target: i486-linux-gnu
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.12.3

akregator just told me that its feed.opml was broken and therefore a backup file was created.

Looking at .kde/share/apps/akregator/data showed me:
feed.opml  : 1778 bytes, as reverted to default feeds
feed.opml~ : 4729 bytes, containing the previous broken xml-contents
feed.opml-backup.xxxx : 0 bytes, supposing to contain the backup

I quit akregator (kontact) and copied the feed.opml~ to feed.opml, trying to restore the feeds (at that time, I didn't know that feed.opml~ contained the error).

Again, akregator complained about the broken feeds and that another backup file was created, but the result was:

feed.opml : 1778 bytes, defaults
feed.opml~ : 0 bytes
feed.opml-backup.yyyy : 0 bytes

Conclusion: the backup-function does not work.

The backup is improved in 3.5, now a backup of the feed list is stored in the storage backend, and restored when something goes wrong with feeds.opml.
