21 # Version __VERSION__, __RELEASEDATE__
22 #------------------------------------------------------------------------
24 * Fixed several Xfer charset conversions.
26 * Added some CGI utf8 conversions from Rodrigo Real and Vincent
29 * Host name is forced to lower case, to match 2.x.
31 * Fixed LOG file naming in BackupPC_restore and BackupPC_archive.
33 * GFK applied fr.pm corrections from Nicolas Stransky.
35 * Updated init.d/src scripts for FHS (ie: replaced __TOPDIR__/log
36 with __LOGDIR__ and __TOPDIR__/conf with __CONFDIR__). Patch
37 provided by Rodrigo Real.
39 * Added --log-dir and --conf-dir options to configure.pl.
40 Reported by Vincent Fleuranceau.
42 * Updated File::RsyncP version check in configure.pl, reported
43 by Vincent Fleuranceau. Changed File::RsyncP version to 0.64.
45 #------------------------------------------------------------------------
46 # Version 3.0.0beta0, 11 Jul 2006
47 #------------------------------------------------------------------------
49 * Added configuration and host CGI editor.
51 * Added rsync hardlink support. Requires latest version of
54 * Decoupled BackupPC_dump from BackupPC_nightly by making
55 asynchronous file linking/delete robust to race conditions.
56 Now only BackupPC_nightly and BackupPC_link are mutually
57 exclusive so only one runs at a time, and BackupPC_dump and
58 BackupPC_restore can run anytime.
60 * Added support for multi-level incrementals. In the style of dump(1),
61 the level of each incremental can be specified. Each incremental
62 backups up everything since the most recent backup of a lower level
63 (fulls are always level 0). Previous behavior was all incrementals
64 were level 1, meaning they backed up everything since the last full
65 (level 0). Default configuration is all incrementals are level 1.
67 * Server file names are now in utf8 and optional conversion
68 to/from client name charsets can be configured. All CGI pages
69 now use the utf8 charset.
71 * Backup metadata is now additionally saved to pc/HOST/nnn/backupInfo,
72 in addition to pc/HOST/backups. In case pc/HOST/backups gets trashed,
73 then a new script BackupPC_fixupBackupSummary can read the per-backup
74 metadata from pc/HOST/nnn/backupInfo and reconstruct the backups file.
75 Roberto Moreno also pointed out an early error in the CVS version.
77 * Added Storage module and Storage::Text which localizes all the
78 text data file reading/writing (eg: backups, restores, archives
79 and config.pl files). Added read verify after all write
80 operations for robustness. Additional backends (eg: SQL)
81 can be added in the future as new subclasses of the Storage
84 * Added Config module, and Config::Meta that contains meta data
85 about configuration parameters.
87 * Added RSS support from Rich Duzenbury.
89 * Translations of new 3.0 language strings from Guillaume Filion,
90 Reginaldo Ferreira, Ralph Passgang, Lieven Bridts, Guus Houtzager,
93 * Added optional checking of exit status of Dump/Restore/Archive Pre/Post
94 UserCmd, requested by Kiko Jover, Matthias Bertschy and others.
96 * For new installations configure.pl tries to comply with the file
97 system hierarchy standard, which means all the configuration files
98 below /etc/BackupPC and log files go below /var/log/BackupPC.
100 * Added Slackware init.d script from Tony Nelson.
102 * Fixed error reporting when restore/archive fail to write the
103 request file to the client directory.
105 * Applied patch from Marc Prewitt for DumpPreShareCmd and DumpPostShareCmd.
107 * Apply patch from Pete Wenzel to add smbClientPath => $Conf{SmbClientPath}
108 to DumpPreUserCmd etc.
110 * Added Portuguese Brazillian pt_br.pm from Reginaldo Ferreira.
112 * Jean-Michel Beuken reported several bugs in configure.pl in CVS 3.0.0.
114 * Old backup email warnings now ignore partials requested by Samuel Bancal
116 * Applied patch to bin/BackupPC_sendEmail from Marc Prewitt that
117 ignores any file starting with "." in the pc directory when
118 it is generating warnings about old/unused files/directories.
120 * Applied patch from Marc Prewitt to fix host queue order.
122 * Applied Lorenzo Cappelletti's it.pm patch.
124 * Applied Wander Winkelhorst's nl.pm patch.
126 * Applied Alberto Marconi's it.pm patch.
128 * Add NT_STATUS_FILE_LOCK_CONFLICT to pst read error check in
129 BackupPC_sendEmail to fix bug reported by Dale Renton.
131 * Added fixup of $ENV{REMOTE_USER} to lib/BackupPC/CGI/Lib.pm in the
132 case of using mod_authz_ldap; patch submitted by Alain Perrier.
134 * Added env LC_ALL=C to $Conf{TarClientCmd} and $Conf{TarClientRestoreCmd}
135 to avoid locale problems, suggested by Ludovic Drolez.
137 * Changed ping output parsing to pick out average rtt time, based
138 on patch from Ron Bickers.
140 * Removed leading "./" and top-level "./" directory from
141 zip archives generated by BackupPC_zipCreate. Reported
142 by Josh (hecktarzuli).
144 * BackupPC_tarCreate and BackupPC_zipCreate now allow "@"
145 in share names. Reported by Robert Waldner.
147 * NT_STATUS_INSUFF_SERVER_RESOURCES is now a fatal error for
148 smbclient transfers, suggested by Brian Shand.
150 * Changed bin/BackupPC_archiveHost to use /bin/csh instead of
151 /bin/sh. That way any errors in the pipeline are reported
152 via the exit status, instead of just the last.
154 * Added $Conf{EMailHeaders} for additional email headers, requested
155 by Ludovic Gasc. If the Content-Type charset is set to utf8 then
156 the body of the email is sent in utf8 coding.
158 * Made shareName argument regexp checking more general to allow parens.
160 * Added some debian init.d instructions to init.d/README from
163 * Documentation updates from Richard Ames, JP Vossen, Torsten Finke.
165 #------------------------------------------------------------------------
166 # Version 2.1.2pl2, 18 Jun 2006
167 #------------------------------------------------------------------------
169 * In conf/config.pl, changed --devices to -D in $Conf{RsyncArgs}
170 and $Conf{RsyncRestoreArgs} to fix "fileListReceive failed" and
171 "Can't open .../f%2f for empty output" errors with rsync 2.6.7+.
172 Fix proposed by Justin Pessa and Vincent Ho, and confirmed by
175 * Added patch from Michael (mna.news) to ignore "file is unchanged"
176 message from tar 1.15.x during incremental backups.
178 * Fixed creation of .rsrc directories in bin/BackupPC_tarExtract
179 when used with xtar on MacOS. Reported by Samuel Bancal and
180 Matthew Radey, who helped with debugging.
182 * Fixed bug in BackupPC_tarExtract for files >8GB in size whose
183 lengths are multiples of 256. Reported by Jamie Myers and
184 Marko Tukiainen, who both helped debugging the problem.
186 * Fixed bug in lib/BackupPC/Xfer/RsyncFileIO.pm that caused
187 incorrected deleted attributes to be set in directories
188 where one of the files had an rsync phase 1 retry during
189 an incremental. Reported by Tony Nelson.
191 #------------------------------------------------------------------------
192 # Version 2.1.2, 5 Sep 2005
193 #------------------------------------------------------------------------
195 * Fixed simple but serious bug in bin/BackupPC_tarCreate that prevented
196 hardlinks being saved correctly. Debugged by Michael (mna.news)
197 with several other people.
199 * Fixed serious bug in bin/BackupPC_dump reported/debugged by Dan Niles
200 that can happen when multiple full backups are deleted after
201 $Conf{FullKeepCnt} is changed.
203 * Changed lib/BackupPC/CGI/Lib.pm so that link to "$TopDir/conf/$host.pl"
204 is displayed if it exists. Patch from Andreas Vögele.
206 * Applied daemonize patch to bin/BackupPC from:
207 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=301057
209 * It's now a fatal error if $Conf{CompressLevel} is set, but
210 Compress::Zlib is not found. Before $Conf{CompressLevel} was
211 silently set to 0, which made all the backups uncompressed.
212 That meant the user never knew if they forget to install
213 Compress::Zlib but were expecting compression to be on.
215 * Finally increased $Conf{ClientTimeout} to 72000 (20 hours).
217 * Added sleep 1 in restart() function in init.d/src/gentoo-backuppc,
218 suggested by Jon Hood.
220 * Added $DestDir to the path of the CGI image directory in configure.pl.
221 Patch submitted by Andreas Vögele.
223 * Applied extensive patch to French translation from Frederic Lehobey.
225 * Minor change to Dutch language $Lang{Pool_Stat} from Wander Winkelhorst.
227 * Minor change to French language $Lang{EMailOutlookBackupMesg} and
228 $Lang{EMailOutlookBackupSubj} from Ludovic Gasc.
230 #------------------------------------------------------------------------
231 # Version 2.1.1, 13 Mar 2005
232 #------------------------------------------------------------------------
234 * Fixed bug in top-level restore using rsync XferMethod.
235 BackupPC::View was leaving an extra leading "/" at the start
236 of top-level directories, messing up the FileList sort order.
237 Reported and debugged by Gail Edwards.
239 * Added pathCreate() to BackupPC_tarExtract so that new directories
240 are created. Required for xtar on MacOSX since the virtual resource
241 fork directories (.rsrc) are not explicitly included in the tar
242 archive - just the files below .rsrc are.
244 * Changed $host.$bkupNum.tar$fileExt.* to $host.$bkupNum.tar$fileExt*
245 in $parCmd in bin/BackupPC_archiveHost.
247 * Fixed HostSortCompare() in BackupPC to correctly sort hosts so
248 those with the oldest backups get queued first.
250 * Changed test in BackupPC_sendEmail so that directories/files
251 starting with "." in $TopDir/pc are ignored, rather than
254 * Changed BackupPC_sendEmail to include NT_STATUS_FILE_LOCK_CONFLICT
255 in check for bad outlook files.
257 * Ensure that %Status and %StatusHost are empty if requesting
258 status on hosts in lib/BackupPC/CGI/Lib.pm GetStatusInfo().
259 Fixes problem with new hosts under mod_perl.
261 * Added images/icon-hardlink.gif so that hardlinks show file type icon.
263 #------------------------------------------------------------------------
264 # Version 2.1.0pl1, 15 Aug 2004
265 #------------------------------------------------------------------------
267 * Added fix to nl.pm from Lieven Bridts.
269 * Added patch from Tony Nelson to remove $Info{pid} before BackupPC
270 writes the status and shuts down.
272 * Changed BackupPC_nightly so that it doesn't call find() if the
273 directory doesn't exist. This avoids errors in certain versions
274 of perl. Reported by Bernd Rilling.
276 * Fixed BackupPC::CGI::Lib to correctly re-load config.pl for mod_perl.
277 Reported by Tony Nelson and Jimmy Liang.
279 * Explicitly untaint $In{host} in BackupPC::CGI::Lib to fix problem
280 reported by Thomas Tempé.
282 * Added newline to "...skipping because of user requested delay..."
283 log message in BackupPC_dump. Reported by Wayne Scott.
285 * Added read file size error checking to BackupPC_tarCreate.
286 Reported by Brandon Evans.
288 * Added check in BackupPC::Xfer::RsyncFileIO to ensure that when
289 compression is toggled on/off, a compressed backup doesn't link
290 to an uncompressed pool file (and an uncompressed backup doesn't
291 link to a compressed pool file). Reported by Brandon Evans.
293 * Updated documentation with new dirvish URL and a typo from
296 * Fix to BackupPC_sendEmail so that it correctly sends admin emails
297 for hosts that have failed backups. Reported by Simon Kuhn.
299 #------------------------------------------------------------------------
300 # Version 2.1.0, 20 Jun 2004
301 #------------------------------------------------------------------------
303 * Added Dutch translation from Lieven Bridts, with tweaks from
306 * Added PC-specific config file read in CGI/Archive.pm. Patch
309 * Added non-zero exit code to BackupPC_zcat when uncompress fails.
310 Patch from Pete Wenzel.
312 * Cosmetic changes to PC Summary and Log file language strings from
315 * BackupPC::Lib tries to be more careful when renaming the backups
316 file to backups.old. There have been reports of backups being
317 empty, perhaps when the BackupPC data file system fills up.
318 Now backups is not renamed to backups.old if backups is empty.
320 * BackupPC now closes stderr and stdout before renaming and
321 re-opening the log file.
323 * Pre/post backup/restore/archive commands now correctly set
324 "type" to either incr/full/restore/archive, and now cmdType
325 is the type of Pre/post backup/restore/archive command.
327 * BackupPC_archive correctly terminates archive processes on
330 * Updates to BackupPC_stnd.css with absolute font sizes instead
333 * BackupPC_dump now makes sure that the $Conf{FullAgeMax} check
334 also ensures the full backup is older than the maximum age
335 expected from $Conf{FullPeriod}.
337 #------------------------------------------------------------------------
338 # Version 2.1.0beta2pl1, 30 May 2004
339 #------------------------------------------------------------------------
341 * Fixed bug in rsync checksum caching code in BackupPC::Xfer::RsyncDigest.
343 * BackupPC_zipCreate now ensures the earliest mtime is 1/1/1980,
344 since zip file formats don't support earlier dates. Reported
347 * CGI restore via zip and tar now makes sure stderr is ignored
348 when BackupPC_tarCreate and BackupPC_zipCreate are run.
349 Previously any stderr output would get mixed in the archive,
350 corrupting it. Reported by Dan Niles.
352 #------------------------------------------------------------------------
353 # Version 2.1.0beta2, 23 May 2004
354 #------------------------------------------------------------------------
356 * $Conf{BackupFilesOnly} and $Conf{BackupFilesExclude} now apply
357 to every share, rather than just the first, in the case where
358 they are arrays and there are multiple shares. Suggested
361 * On the phase 2 retry pass with rsync, verify the cached checksums
362 if checksum caching is turned on. This will catch the case of
363 cached checksums being incorrectly appended to the compressed
364 pool file. Added new config parameter $Conf{RsyncCsumCacheVerifyProb}
365 so that cached checksums are verified with a selectable probability.
366 Also, increased File::RsyncP version number to 0.51.
368 * configure.pl now supports an optional batch mode. Command-line
369 options are used to specify all the information that configure.pl
370 needs. This is useful for building auto-install packages.
371 Also, configure.pl now includes pod documentation, so you can do
372 "perldoc configure.pl" to see all the command-line options.
373 Suggested, tested and tweaked by Stuart Herbert for possible
376 * At each wakeup, clients are now queued based on how old the most
377 recent backup is. Clients with errors are queued first, with
378 the oldest error times going first. The rest of the clients are
379 queued next, with the clients with the oldest backup going first.
380 Previously the clients were simply queued in alphabetic order.
381 Suggested by Mike Trisko and Tony Nelson.
383 * Added config parameter $Conf{PartialAgeMax} that controls whether
384 partials are saved at all, and if so, whether the partial will be
385 ignored at the next full backup if it is too old.
387 * BackupPC_tarExtract now allows empty archives without reporting
388 an error. Reported by Don Silvia.
390 * Removed Browse Backups link from Nav Bar in Archive Info display.
391 Reported by Ralph Paßgang.
393 * Fixed documentation display for regular users. Reported by Ralph Paßgang.
395 * Status and PC Summary now work for regular users and only show
396 that user's hosts. Server general status information only appears
397 for admins. Suggested by Ralph Paßgang.
399 * Moved the last three navigation-bar links (docs, FAQ and SF) to
400 a new config parameter $Conf{CgiNavBarLinks}. This allows
401 these links to be locally configured. Based on a patch
402 submitted by Ralph Paßgang.
404 * Allow the navigation bar search box to be disabled by
405 setting $Conf{CgiSearchBoxEnable} to 0. Based on a patch
406 submitted by Ralph Paßgang.
408 * Updates to de.pm from Ralph Paßgang.
410 * Made the BackupPC icon a link to the SF BackupPC project page.
412 #------------------------------------------------------------------------
413 # Version 2.1.0beta1, 4 Apr 2004
414 #------------------------------------------------------------------------
416 * The CSS definition has been removed from the config.pl file and
417 is now a separate file, BackupPC_stnd.css. A new config variable,
418 $Conf{CgiCSSFile}, gives the name of the CSS file to use.
419 Suggested by Ender Mathias.
421 * Fixed the filling of the host name select box for admins.
422 The default $Conf{CgiNavBarAdminAllHosts} is now 1.
423 Reported by Doug Lytle.
425 * Cleaned up warning message for restore using rsync when checksum
426 caching is on, but when file didn't have cached checksums.
428 * Fixed BackupPC_archiveHost to support par2 (par2cmdline).
429 Patch submitted by Jaco Bongers and adapted by Josh Marshall.
431 * Improved stat() usage in BackupPC_nightly, plus some other cleanup,
432 giving a significant performance improvement. Patch submitted by
435 * Allow several BackupPC_nightly processes to run in parallel based
436 on new $Conf{BackupPCNightlyJobs} setting. This speeds up the
437 traversal of the pool, reducing the overall run time for
440 * Allow BackupPC_nightly to split the pool traversal across several
441 nightly runs. This improves the running time per night, at the expense
442 of a slight increase in disk storage as unused pool files might not
443 be deleted for a couple of days. Controller by new config setting
444 $Conf{BackupPCNightlyPeriod}.
446 #------------------------------------------------------------------------
447 # Version 2.1.0beta0, 20 Mar 2004
448 #------------------------------------------------------------------------
450 * A failed full dump is now saved as a partial (incomplete) dump,
451 provided it includes some files. This can be used for browsing,
452 restoring etc, and will also form the basis of resuming full
453 dumps. Only one partial is kept, and it is removed as soon
454 as a successful full (or a new partial) is done.
456 * Added support for resuming a full dump for rsync. The partial
457 full is kept, and to resume an incremental is done against the
458 partial, and a full is done for the rest.
460 * Added support for Rsync checksum caching. Rsync checksum are
461 appended to the compressed pool files. This means that block
462 and file checksums do not need to be recomputed on the server
463 when using rsync. Requires a patch to rsync to support fixed
464 checksum seeds. This patch is included in the cygwin-rsyncd
465 release on http://backuppc.sourceforge.net.
467 * Major addition of Archive feature from Josh Marshall. Special
468 clients can be configured to be archive targets (eg: tape drives,
469 CD-R). Any subset of the backup clients can be selected and tar
470 archives are created, optionally compressed and split and written
471 to the output device. Logs are maintained and are browsable.
473 * Major changes from Ryan Kucera to add style sheets to the CGI
474 interface, allowing easy customization. Added new icons and
475 BackupPC logo. Numerous navigation improvements.
477 * Added directory history display to BackupPC_Admin, allowing the
478 user to quickly see which files changed between backups on a
481 * Added exponential expiry option for full dumps. This allows you
484 - how many fulls to keep at intervals of $Conf{FullPeriod}, followed by
485 - how many fulls to keep at intervals of 2 * $Conf{FullPeriod},
486 - how many fulls to keep at intervals of 4 * $Conf{FullPeriod},
487 - how many fulls to keep at intervals of 8 * $Conf{FullPeriod},
488 - how many fulls to keep at intervals of 16 * $Conf{FullPeriod},
490 and so on. This allows you, for example, to keep 4 weekly fulls,
491 followed by 6 fulls every 4 weeks (approx 1 month) and 2 fulls at
492 16 weeks, for roughly 1 year of history. This works by deleting
493 every other full as each expiry boundary is crossed. Suggested
496 * Added Italian language translation it.pm from Lorenzo Cappelletti.
498 * Major updates to language files for new features and tags changes.
499 Updated makeDist to do pedantic consistency checking of language
502 * Addition of administration options from Paul Lukins. Initial
503 page allows server to be started/stopped/reloaded. This still
504 needs some i18n work. Currently the server start/stop is
507 * Split BackupPC_Admin into a set of modules, one for each major action.
508 Each action is now a seperate module in lib/BackupPC/CGI.
510 * Allow the blackout period begin/end to span midnight. Adapted
511 from patch submitted by David Smith.
513 * Allow multiple blackout periods, with new config variable
514 $Conf{BlackoutPeriods} that replaces the old variables
515 $Conf{BlackoutHourBegin}, $Conf{BlackoutHourEnd}, and
516 $Conf{BlackoutWeekDays}. Based on patch submitted by
519 * Disabled alarms after forks to avoid timeouts in children that
520 do not reset their alarm. Prompted by ideas from James Leu.
522 * Added options for block size, buffer size and share wild-card to
523 BackupPC_tarCreate. Also added negative backup number options
524 that are relative to the last (so -1 is the last), suggested by
525 William McKee and Carl Soderstrom.
527 * The "Wrong user" message in BackupPC::Lib now goes to stderr, so that
528 the user is more likely to see the error with BackupPC_tarCreate.
529 Reported by Paul Fox.
531 * Add creation of per-PC directory in BackupPC/CGI/Restore.pm in
532 case it doesn't already exist.
534 * Added -q -x to all ssh commands in conf/config.pl. Suggested by
535 SI Reasoning and Niranjan Ghate.
537 * Changed restore code so that option #1 (direct restore) can be
538 disabled if the restore command is undefined. Disabling direct
539 restore is necessary if the share is read-only. Suggested by
542 * Changed regexp in lib/BackupPC/Smb.pm to allow numbers with both
543 a decimal point or comma for international versions of Samba.
544 Patch submitted by Frank Gard.
546 * Browsing and directory history now sort the files in a
547 case-insensitive manner.
549 * Changed exec() syntax to allow executing commands whose path
552 * BackupPC_dump no longer removes backups if $Conf{FullKeepCnt}
553 is zero or undefined. The protects the existing backups in the
554 case of a bad config.pl file. Suggested by Christian Warden.
556 * Swapped the Server and Hosts sections on the Nav bar. Moved the
557 host search text box to the top of the hosts section. This was
558 done to move the variable-length part of the Nav bar (when all
559 hosts are displayed) to the bottom.
561 * Fixed a bug in tar restore related to how the common prefix path is
562 removed. Now ensure that the common path is at a directory boundary.
563 Reported by Patrick Neuner.
565 * Added --chuid ${USER} to init.d/src/gentoo-backuppc. Suggested by
566 SI Reasoning, Pascal Pochol, Michael Evanoff and others.
568 * Added Suse notes to init.d/README from Bruno Vernay.
570 * Added Apache 2 documentation fix from Michael Tuzi.
572 #------------------------------------------------------------------------
573 # Version 2.0.2, 6 Oct 2003
574 #------------------------------------------------------------------------
576 * Fixed stupid last-minute change in octal size conversion in
579 #-----------------------------------------------------------------------
580 # Version 2.0.1, 5 Oct 2003
581 #------------------------------------------------------------------------
583 * Fixed handling of >= 8GB files in BackupPC_tarExtract and >= 4GB
584 files in BackupPC_tarCreate.
586 * Removed smbclient size repair in BackupPC_tarExtract for files
587 between 2GB and 4GB. This means that BackupPC_tarExtract 2.0.1
588 doesn't behave the same as 2.0.0 for file sizes between 2GB and 4GB
589 extacted using smbclient 2.2.x. If you have problems backing up
590 files whose size is between 2GB and 4GB using smbclient 2.2.x
591 you should upgrade smbclient to 3.0, since it now generates
594 * Replace PingClientPath with PingPath in configure.pl.
596 * Removed -T (taint mode) on binaries installed in configure.pl.
598 * Added support for smbclient from samba version 3.0.0.
600 * Fixed $Conf{HardLinkMax} limit check in BackupPC::Lib; reported
603 * In BackupPC_Admin, default REMOTE_USER to $Conf{BackupPCUser}
604 if it is not defined. This allows the CGI interface to work
605 when AdminUsers = '*'. Reported by Quentin Arce.
607 * For SMB, code that detected files with a read-locked region (eg:
608 outlook .pst files), removed them and then tried to link with an
609 earlier version was broken. This code missed a step of mangling
610 the file names. This is now fixed. Reported by Pierre Bourgin.
612 * A backup of a share that has zero files is now considered
613 fatal. This is used to catch miscellaneous Xfer errors that
614 result in no files being backed up. A new config parameter
615 $Conf{BackupZeroFilesIsFatal} (defaults to 1) and can be set to
616 zero to turn off this check. Suggested by Guillaume Filion.
617 Additional change: this check only applies to a full dump.
619 * SMB: now detect NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED on entire share or BackupFilesOnly
620 (also ERRDOS - ERRnoaccess (Access denied.) for older versions of
621 smbclient.) Suggested by Guillaume Filion.
623 * SMB: now detects "tree connect failed: NT_STATUS_BAD_NETWORK_NAME" and
624 the dump is considered failed.
626 * Rsync: Previously BackupFilesOnly = '/' did --include '/' --exclude '/*',
627 which just included the '/' directory and nothing below. Now it
628 does just --include '/', which should include everything.
631 * Add hostError to DumpPostUserCmd variable substitutions for both dump
634 * Verbose output in Lib.pm goes to STDERR, not STDOUT. This now
635 makes BackupPC_dump -v work better.
637 * Don't allow browsing with ".." in directory in case a user tries
638 to trick BackupPC_Admin into displaying directories outside where
641 * Required File::RsyncP version is now 0.44, since File::RsyncP 0.44
642 fixes large file (>2GB) bugs. Large file bugs reported by Steve
645 #------------------------------------------------------------------------
646 # Version 2.0.0, 14 Jun 2003
647 #------------------------------------------------------------------------
649 * Minor tweaks to disable utf8 on utf8-capable machines (eg: RH8+).
650 Added "no utf8" to all programs, and added binmode() to relevant
653 #------------------------------------------------------------------------
654 # Version 2.0.0beta3, 1 Jun 2003
655 #------------------------------------------------------------------------
657 * Several improvements to restore: cancel now reports the correct
658 message and cleans up correctly.
660 * Rsync with whitespace and wildcard excludes fixed by replacing
661 argList with argList+ in config.pl plus a fix to Lib.pm for
662 shell escaping array arguments.
664 * Fixed rsync restore for character and block special devices
665 (major and minor device numbers weren't correctly restored).
667 * Fixed typo in bin/BackupPC_restore (XferLOG -> RestoreLOG).
669 * (Re)-fixed "Bad command" in log file when restore via tar or zip
670 file download is done.
672 * Added untaint to exec in Lib.pm to avoid tainted errors.
674 * Applied additional tweak to hilight patch from Tim Demarest.
676 * $Conf{CgiAdminUsers} = '*' now allows privileged even with REMOTE_USER
679 * Don't display RsyncdPasswd when displaying config.pl files.
681 * Replace pipe with socketpair in bin/BackupPC_dump and bin/BackupPC_restore,
682 which increases typical buffering from 4K to 16K-64K. This improves the
685 * Add check on $ENV{LANG} setting do configure.pl: if LANG includes utf
686 then a warning is printed.
688 #------------------------------------------------------------------------
689 # Version 2.0.0beta2, 11 May 2003
690 #------------------------------------------------------------------------
692 * Added German translation, provided by Manfred Herrmann.
694 * Fixed large-file problem with rsync, reported by Manfred Herrmann.
696 * Fixed zip and tar file download from CGI under mod_perl. Reported
697 by Pierre Bourgin and Paul Lukins.
699 * Fixed directory browsing and top-level directory browsing in 2.0.0beta0.
700 Reported by several users.
702 * Added -v option to BackupPC_dump for verbose output (useful when
703 you run the command manually). Added messages for all exits.
705 * If nmblookup returns multiple IP addresses, NetBiosHostIPFind()
706 now returns the first IP address that matches the subnet mask.
707 Suggested by Tim Demarest.
709 * Fixed BackupPC::View so the top-level directory is handled correctly.
710 This allows the top-level share/directory to be restored via the
711 CGI interface. Reported by several users.
713 * Fixed RsyncFileIO failures on certain large files by replacing seek()
714 with sysseek(). Reported by Manfred Herrmann.
716 * Added configurable highlighting of PC status in the CGI summary
717 screen; submitted by Tim Demarest.
719 * Fixed command queue CGI display; submitted by Tim Demarest.
721 * BackupPC_trashClean now logs an error if it can't remove all the
722 trash and then goes back to sleep, rather than continually trying.
724 * Moved correct user (uid) check into BackupPC::Lib so that all
725 applications do a user check if $Cong{BackupPCUserVerify} is
726 set. The avoids the risk of manually running BackupPC_dump as
729 * Loss of blackout now applies to "host not found" as well as no ping.
730 Reported by Dale Renton.
732 * "Host not found" is now treated in a similar manner to "no ping".
734 * Added suse-linux init.d script from Leon Letto.
736 * Added Gentoo linux init.d script from Tim Demarest.
738 * Applied additional i18n strings from GFK and the translation team.
740 * Fixed option parsing so that getopts errors are reported and we exit.
742 * Changed reporting of Xfer PIDs so that rsync cancel works correctly.
744 #------------------------------------------------------------------------
745 # Version 2.0.0beta1, 30 Mar 2003
746 #------------------------------------------------------------------------
748 * Added Spanish translation es.pm from Javier Gonzalez.
750 * Fixed CGI browse navigation bug that causes BackupPC_Admin to wedge
751 when directories were selected in a certain order.
753 * Fixed BackupPC::PoolWrite so that it can recover when the initial
754 file size is wrong. This is needed since rsync could write a file
755 whose size is different from the initial size returned in the
756 file list when that file is updated while rsync is running.
758 * Added binmode(STDIN) to BackupPC_tarExtract, suggested by Pat LoPresti
759 to fix a problem a RedHat8 with perl 5.8.0. It's unclear why this
760 helps, but it should be benign. See:
761 http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_id=1853018&forum_id=503
763 #------------------------------------------------------------------------
764 # Version 2.0.0beta0, 23 Feb 2003
765 #------------------------------------------------------------------------
767 * Support for rsync and rsyncd backup and restore. Changes to
768 BackupPC_dump, BackupPC_restore, and new modules BackupPC::Xfer::Rsync
769 and BackupPC::Xfer::RsyncFileIO.
771 * Added internationalization (i18n) code from Xavier Nicollet,
772 with additions from Guillaume Filion. Voila! BackupPC_Admin
773 now supports English and French, and adding more languages is
774 now easy. New config paramater $Conf{Language} sets the language.
776 * Added optional user-defined pre/post dump/restore commands, allowing
777 things like database shutdown/startup for dumps.
779 * Changed the way hosts are found.
781 * Added $Conf{ClientNameAlias}, which allows the name of the physical
782 client machine to be set. This allows several different backup
783 "hosts" to all refer to the same physical machine, which is
784 convenient if several different types of data need to be backed
785 up, or if different parameters are needed for different parts of
788 * Replaced $Conf{PingArgs} with $Conf{PingCmd}, added $Conf{DfCmd},
789 $Conf{NmbLookupCmd} allowing all these commands to be fully
790 configured. Also, all commands can also now be fragments of
793 * Moved all smbclient commands into the config.pl file so the specific
794 arguments can be customized. New config parameters are
795 $Conf{SmbClientFullCmd}, $Conf{SmbClientIncrCmd} and
796 $Conf{SmbClientRestoreCmd}.
798 * Added new BackupPC::View module that creates views of backups
799 (handling merging etc). Updated BackupPC_Admin, BackupPC_zipCreate
800 and BackupPC_tarCreate to use BackupPC::View. This removes lots
801 of merging and mangling code from the higher-level code.
803 * Added code from Toby Johnson that allows additional users to be
804 specified in the hosts file; these users can also view/start/stop
805 and restore backups for that host. Also added a new config
806 setting $Conf{CgiNavBarAdminAllHosts} that allows all hosts to
807 be listed in the left nav bar for admins.
809 * Added $Conf{HardLinkMax} (default 31999) which sets the limit on
810 the maximum number of hardlinks per file in the pool. If a file
811 ever gets to this number of links a new pool file is created to
812 handle additional links.
814 * Added $Conf{PerlModuleLoad}, which allows optional additional perl
815 modules to be loaded.
817 * Added $Conf{EMailUserDestDomain} and other EMail config settings to
818 allow language-specific default messages to be overridden.
820 * Added BPC_FTYPE_DELETED to lib/BackupPC/Attrib.pm, allowing deleted
821 files to be represented in the attrib file correctly.
823 * Added support for environment variable BPC_SMB_PASSWD, which is the
824 client's smb password. This overrides the old environment variable
827 * Added taint cleanup for perl5.8 to lib/BackupPC/Lib.pm.
829 * Changed $tar_unpack_header format in BackupPC_tarExtract to correctly
830 handle files with trailing spaces.
832 * Added catching of SIG_PIPE to BackupPC_dump, and changed catch_signal
833 to ignore multiple signals of the same type.
835 * Added reporting of the largest number of hardlinks in the pool to the
838 * Adding reporting of syntax errors in the per-PC config.pl file.
840 * Updated BackupPC_sendEmail to handle language-specific email messages.
842 * Allow client (host) names to contain spaces. Spaces in host names
843 need to be escaped via "\" in the hosts file. The user of spaces in
844 host names is discouraged, but they should work. One feature that
845 doesn't work with host names that contain spaces is the highlighting
846 of that name in the log file display in the CGI interface. There are
847 no plans to fix this.
849 * Renamed $Conf{SmbClientTimeout} to $Conf{ClientTimeout}.
851 * Fixed all open() calls to use 3 argument form to fix handling of file
852 names with trailing whitespace. Also fixed CGI interface so these
853 file names are displayed correctly.
855 * Fixed new 2.0.0 CGI navigation bug that causes the top-level directory
856 to have a URL "&share=//boot&dir=" instead of "&share=/boot&dir=/".
857 Reported by Pascal Schelcher. Fixed similar problem reported by
860 * Added "PerlTaintCheck On" to the mod_perl section in the docs,
861 suggested by Tim Demarest.
863 #------------------------------------------------------------------------
864 # Version 1.5.0, 2 Aug 2002
865 #------------------------------------------------------------------------
867 * Changed conf/config.pl so that $Conf{TarIncrArgs} uses the --newer
868 option instead of --newer-mtime. Also removed --atime-preserve from
869 $Conf{TarClientCmd}. This makes the default settings work better
872 * Fixed configure.pl so it correctly detects a running BackupPC <= v1.4.0
873 so it can correctly warn the user to stop it before upgrading. Reported
876 * Added missing ";" to entity escape in EscapeHTML in BackupPC_Admin.
877 Reported by Guillaume Filion.
879 * Added LDAP setup to documentation from David Holland.
881 * Tar.pm now adds a "." to file paths that start with "/", so that all
882 tar paths are relative. From Ludovic Drolez.
884 #------------------------------------------------------------------------
885 # Version 1.5.0beta0, 30 Jun 2002
886 #------------------------------------------------------------------------
888 * A full set of restore options is now supported, including direct
889 restore via smbclient or tar or downloading a zip or tar file.
891 * Major additions to CGI script to support better directory navigation,
892 restore features and mod_perl. Also, file downloads from the CGI
893 interface now correctly preserve the file name and provide the
894 correct Content-Type for the most common types of files. Improved
895 directory navigation was contributed by Ryan Kucera.
897 * New script BackupPC_zipCreate (contributed by Guillaume Filion) is the
898 zip analog of BackupPC_tarCreate. BackupPC_zipCreate can be used to
899 create a zip archive of any portion of a backup.
901 * Substantial additions to BackupPC_tarCreate to support restore,
902 including modifying path names, handling hardlinks, fixing
903 support of old backups without attributes (pre-v1.4.0). Plus
904 BackupPC_tarCreate is now an offical part of the release.
905 (Lack of support for hardlinks was reported by John Stanley.)
907 * BackupPC_tarExtract now supports hardlinks and fixed pooling of
910 * A unix domain socket is now used for communication between the CGI
911 interface and BackupPC. The original TCP socket is optional. Sockets
912 are correctly re-initialized if config.pl is updated with new socket
915 * For improved security messages over the unix or TCP socket are protected
916 via an MD5 digest based on a shared secret, a sequence number, a time
917 stamp and a unique per-connection number.
919 * Additions to configure.pl to support install of directory navigation
922 * Fixed case where $Conf{BackupFilesOnly} or $Conf{BackupFilesExclude}
923 were set to a single string or list (in v1.4.0 only the case of
924 hash worked correctly). Reported by Phillip Bertolus.
926 * Fixed case of $Conf{BackoutGoodCnt} == 0. This setting now makes the
927 client always subject to blackout, matching the comments in config.pl.
928 Also fixed handling of $Conf{BackoutGoodCnt} < 0 in the CGI script
929 reported by Pascal Schelcher.
931 * Fixed byte and file totals for tar backups, reported by several users.
933 * Fixed --newer-mtime date/timestamp format to make it ISO 8601 compliant,
934 suggested by Erminio Baranzini.
936 * Fixed handling of $Conf{BackupFilesOnly} in BackupPC::Xfer::Tar.pm, as
937 well as shell escaping of tar arguments.
939 * Fixed entity encoding of 8-bit characters in the CGI interface.
941 * Added optional CGI headers in $Conf{CgiHeaders} that by default
942 is set to a no-cache pragma. Suggested by Benno Zuure.
944 #------------------------------------------------------------------------
945 # Version 1.4.0, 16 Mar 2002
946 #------------------------------------------------------------------------
948 * BackupPC now supports tar (in addition to smb) for extracting host
949 data. This is the most convenient option for linux/unix hosts.
950 Tar can be configured to run over ssh, rsh or to backup a local
951 nfs mount from the host.
953 * Support for special files, including symbolic links, fifo, character
954 and block device files has been added, so that all native linux/unix
955 file types can be correctly backed up when using tar transport.
956 Special files are all stored as regular files and the type attributes
957 are used to remember the original file type.
959 * All unix file attributes are now saved (and pooled when possible).
960 This includes user and group ownership, permissions, and modification
961 time. Smbclient also does a reasonable job of emulating unix
962 permissions (such as mtime), and these attributes get saved too.
964 * The new default is to not fill incremental dumps. configure.pl
965 automatically sets $Conf{IncrFill} to 0. The default was 1
966 (incrementals were filled with hardlinks). Since the CGI
967 script does filling at browsing time, there is no need to
968 fill incremental dumps.
970 * Backup file names are now stored in "mangled" form. Each node of a
971 path is preceded by "f", and special characters (\n, \r, % and /) are
972 URI-encoded as "%xx", where xx is the ascii character's hex value. So
973 c:/craig/example.txt is now stored as fc/fcraig/fexample.txt. This
974 was done mainly so meta-data could be stored alongside the backup
975 files without name collisions. In particular, the attributes for the
976 files in a directory are stored in a file called "attrib", and
977 mangling avoids file name collisions (I discarded the idea of having
978 a duplicate directory tree for every backup just to store the
979 attributes). Other meta-data (eg: rsync checksums) could be stored in
980 file names preceded by, eg, "c". There are two other benefits to
981 mangling: the share name might contain "/" (eg: "/home/craig" for tar
982 transport), and I wanted that represented as a single level in the
983 storage tree. Secondly, as files are written to NewFileList for later
984 processing by BackupPC_link, embedded newlines in the file's path
985 will cause problems which are avoided by mangling.
987 The CGI script undoes the mangling, so it is invisibe to the user.
988 Of course, old (unmangled) backups are still supported by the CGI
991 * Various changes to the CGI interface, BackupPC_Admin:
993 + Added button that allows users to manually start a full dump in
994 addition to the existing incremental dump.
996 + Added display of file attributes when browsing backups.
998 + Added an optional holdoff time specified by the user when canceling
999 a backup. BackupPC will not attempt any new backups for at least the
1000 specified time. This holdoff time can be changed whether or not a
1003 + Added supports for file mangling, and correct merging of unfilled
1004 backups from mangled or unmangled (and compressed or uncompressed)
1005 fulls when browsing or restoring.
1007 + Only displays a "Start Incr Backup" button if there are already some
1010 + For DHCP hosts, when a user tries to manually start a backup, add
1011 a check for the netbios name of both the host the request came
1012 from (REMOTE_ADDR) and the last known DHCP address for that host
1013 to see if either address matches the host. If not, an error
1014 message is display. The previous behavior was that only requests
1015 from the client itself succeeded, and requests from other machines
1018 * Changed the version numbering to X.Y.Z, instead of X.0Y. This release
1019 is 1.4.0. The first digit is for major new releases, the middle digit
1020 is for significant feature releases and improvements, and the last
1021 digit is for bug fixes. You should think of the old 1.00, 1.01, 1.02
1022 and 1.03 as 1.0.0, ..., 1.3.0.
1024 * BackupPC and the CGI script BackupPC_Admin now check that the effective
1025 user id is correct to avoid accidentally launching BackupPC as the
1026 wrong user or detecting CGI configuration problems. This behavior
1027 can be turned off using the $Conf{BackupPCUserVerify} option.
1029 * In numerous places changed "Smb" to "Xfer" (eg: log file names) to
1030 support generic names for both smb and tar transport methods. The
1031 CGI script checks for old names for backward compatibility.
1033 * Major changed to Backup_dump to support new tar transport. All transport
1034 specific code moved into BackupPC::Xfer::Smb and BackupPC::Xfer::Tar
1037 * Added workaround for a bug in Samba's smbclient for files between 2GB
1038 and 4GB. The file size in the tar header is incorrect. This allows
1039 files up to 4GB to work with smbclient, rather than 2GB. To support
1040 files larger than 2GB you must make sure perl is compiled with the
1041 uselargefiles option (use "perl -V | egrep largefiles" to check) and
1042 the pool directory must be on a file system that supports large files.
1044 * Moved the pool writing code into a module BackupPC::PoolWrite. This
1045 allows the clever file pool checking (digest, uncompressing, comparing
1046 etc with minimum disk IO) to be used easily in multiple places (eg: it
1047 is now used for writing attribute files so they can be pooled).
1049 * Changed MD5 to Digest::MD5 to avoid use of the depreceated MD5 module.
1051 * Shortened default $Conf{MyPath} so that perl's taint mode is more likely
1052 to be happy. The old $Conf{MyPath} contained /usr/local/bin, which
1053 on one user's machine was world writable and perl -T correctly
1054 complained about it.
1056 * Fixed ping command options in Lib.pm so that it works on OpenBSD.
1057 Thanks to Kyle Amon for sending the fix. Decided to move the
1058 ping options from Lib.pm into config.pl (as $Conf{PingArgs}) and
1059 now configure.pl tries to come up with a sensible default based on
1062 * Fixed argument checking in BackupPC_tarExtract to allow '$' in the
1063 share name (eg: C$). Thanks to Jules Agee for this fix. Also
1064 changed the default config.pl so that single quotes are used
1065 everywhere so that people don't get tripped up putting '$' inside
1066 double-quoted strings.
1068 #------------------------------------------------------------------------
1069 # Version 1.03, 9 Dec 2001
1070 #------------------------------------------------------------------------
1072 * BackupPC now has full support for compression. There are now two
1073 pool areas, the original pool for uncompressed files, and cpool for
1074 compressed files. The compression is done by Compress::Zlib.
1075 Compression reduces the pool disk usage by around 40%, although your
1076 mileage may vary. Compression is optional and can also be specified on
1077 a per-PC basis (although this will cost more pool storage since many
1078 backup files will have to be stored in both compressed and
1081 * A new script, BackupPC_compressPool, can be run to compress the entire
1082 pool. This is used once to migrate all the pool data from uncompressed
1083 to compressed on existing installations. Read the documentation
1084 (Installing BackupPC/Compressing an existing pool) before running
1085 BackupPC_compressPool!
1087 Alternatively, compression can simply be turned on and all new backups
1088 will be compressed. Both old (uncompressed) and new (compressed)
1089 backups can be browsed and viewed. Eventually, the old backups will
1090 expire and all the pool data will be compressed. However, until the
1091 old backups expire, this approach could require 60% or more additional
1092 pool storage space to store both uncompressed and compressed versions
1093 of the backup files.
1095 * Significant improvements to the cgi interface, BackupPC_Admin:
1097 - much better layout navigation
1098 - handles compressed backup files and compressed log files
1099 - handles unfilled incremental dumps
1100 - better backup directory browsing navigation
1101 - reports compression statistics
1102 - $Conf{CgiDateFormatMMDD} allows you to set date format (MM/DD or DD/MM)
1103 - Additional customization with $Conf{CgiHeaderFontType},
1104 $Conf{CgiHeaderFontSize}, $Conf{CgiNavBarBgColor}, and
1105 $Conf{CgiHeaderBgColor}.
1107 * Eliminated BackupPC_queueAll. BackupPC directly reads the hosts
1108 file and queues the PCs itself. Like config.pl, BackupPC will
1109 re-read the hosts file on each wakeup if its modification time
1110 changes, or upon a SIGHUP. This also makes for better behavior
1111 when adding a host: if you add hosts, simply send a SIGHUP to
1112 BackupPC or wait for the next wakeup.
1114 * BackupPC_dump now compresses the SmbLOG file if compression is enabled.
1116 * BackupPC_dump keeps track of compressed file sizes so that compression
1117 statistics can be reported by the cgi interface.
1119 * Aging of old log files now handles compressed log files (.z extension).
1121 * Added configuration option $Conf{IncrFill} to specify whether
1122 incremental dumps should be filled in. Old behavior was that
1123 filling was on. Now it's optional. See config.pl for more
1126 * BackupPC_nightly now cleans and generates statistics for both
1127 the uncompressed pool and compressed pool (cpool).
1129 * Added new utility script BackupPC_zcat that can be used to
1130 uncompresses BackupPC files.
1132 * configure.pl offers various options related to compression,
1133 depending upon whether this is a new install or upgrade,
1134 and whether or not Compress::Zlib is installed.
1136 * configure.pl now makes a backup copy of config.pl before
1137 config.pl is updated.
1139 * added three new fields to the backups file to handle optional
1140 filling and compression stats.
1142 * Added -e option to BackupPC_dump. BackupPC now invokes BackupPC_dump -e
1143 on each dhcp host once each night to verify that very old backups are
1144 expired. This ensures that very old backups are expired even if
1145 the dhcp host has not been on the network for a long time.
1147 * fixed bug in BackupPC::FileZIO.pm that required Compress::Zlib,
1148 even if compression was off. Thanks to Steve Holmes for reporting
1151 * fixed bug that caused a BackupPC queue to get blocked when a backup
1152 cancel attempt was made during the BackupPC_link phase.
1154 #------------------------------------------------------------------------
1155 # Version 1.02, 28 Oct 2001.
1156 #------------------------------------------------------------------------
1158 * Added new script BackupPC_tarExtract to extract the smbclient tar
1159 archive. This reduces disk writes by perhaps 90-95% and disk reads by
1160 50%. Previously, tar was used to extract and write everything to disk.
1161 Then BackupPC_dump would read enough of each file to compute the MD5
1162 digest, and then compare the full file with candidate pool files. So
1163 for each 1MB file that matches a single file in the pool, there would
1164 be 1MB of disk writes and 2MB of disk reads (to compare two 1MB files).
1166 BackupPC_tarExtract instead extracts the archive using a 1MB memory
1167 buffer. This allows the MD5 digest to be computed without touching the
1168 disk. Next, any potential pool file compares are done by comparing the
1169 pool file against the incoming tar data in memory, which only requires
1170 the pool file to be read. So for each 1MB file that matches a single
1171 file in the pool, there are now no disk writes, and only 1MB of reads.
1172 BackupPC_tarExtract handles arbitrary size files and repeated
1173 potential pool matches. If the incoming file doesn't match the pool
1174 then it is written to disk (once the pool is mature this happens maybe
1177 * Substantial changes to BackupPC_dump:
1179 + BackupPC_tarExtract is now used in place of tar.
1181 + BackupPC_dump now reads the output from both smbclient and
1182 BackupPC_tarExtract and merges them into SmbLOG.
1184 + Named pipes are no longer used to connect smbclient to tar
1185 (now BackupPC_tarExtract). Regular pipes are used instead.
1186 This avoids the need to system mknod or mkfifo.
1188 + Locked files on the client that can't be read by smbclient
1189 previously were filled with 0x0 bytes by smbclient, meaning
1190 tar extracted a useless file filled with 0x0 bytes. Now,
1191 BackupPC_dump watches the output of smbclient and removes
1192 any files that smbclient couldn't read. This avoids storing
1193 useless files. It tries to replace such files with a hard link
1194 to a previous dump. These actions appear in the log file.
1196 * added new module lib/BackupPC/FileZIO.pm. This handles pool file
1197 I/O and is used by BackupPC_tarExtract. BackupPC::FileIO supports
1198 reading and writing compressed and regular files and provides all the
1199 hooks for compression support in BackupPC (should be supported in next
1200 version). BackupPC::FileIO also does efficient writing of files that
1201 contain leading 0x0 bytes (by seeking past the 0x0 bytes). This is
1202 helpful when smbclient reads a locked file, and it fills the tar
1203 output with a file of the correct size but all 0x0. Such files will be
1204 later removed by BackupPC_dump. But in the meantime, BackupPC::FileIO

1213 * added extra non blocking select() in BackupPC to make sure the socket

1222 * Changed HostInfoRead() in lib/BackupPC/Lib.pm to lowercase the

1229 * configure.pl complains if BackupPC is already running, reminding you
1230 to stop it before upgrading.
1232 * updated documentation, and fixed auto-insertion of config.pl into
1233 BackupPC.pod (previously the last config parameter was left out of
