Hi,
i noticed my sqlbak linux installation performer automatic update scripts which got me some trouble because it failed every time.
As for that i had some problems on my operations with sqlbak server which was not working at all, and i saw that on /usr/bin there was no more sqlbak link to executable.
How can it is possible ?

Hi Ben,
We made a decision to abandon the repository, the current installation instructions can be found on the “Download” https://sqlbak.com/download page at the “Linux” tab.
To prevent apt-get from throwing errors, please delete the file /etc/apt/sources.list.d/sqlbak.list
Thank you!
So, linux users now have to pay AND they have to manually update?
Marvellous.
Hi Gavin Massingham,
The updates work in automatic mode, that option can be enabled at your “My Account” page. We only dropped support for a separate repository.
