Release for 3.2.0. Changes since 3.2.0beta1: * Fixed code that detects duplicate shares in bin/BackupPC_dump * Added fix to lib/BackupPC/Zip/FileMember.pm to avoid bug in Archive::Zip 1.30 when creating compressed archives. * Added Czech translation from Petr Pokorny.
* Copyright date update
* various FTP fixes * added more shell escaping to bin/BackupPC_archiveHost * updates to FTP conf/config.pl comments * minor path change to configure.pl
* Added more options to server backup command: rather than just forcing an incremental or full backup, a regular (auto) backup can be queued (ie: do nothing/incr/full based on schedule), as well as doing just an incremental or full or nothing based on the client schedule. Based on patches submitted by Joe Digilio. * Changed BackupPC_tarCreate to disable output of final nulls in tar archive when -l or -L option is used. Reported by John Rouillard. * Added variable substitution for host, confDir, client in RsyncArgs, and also added option RsyncArgsExtra to allow more easy customization of RsyncArgs on a per-client basis. Proposed (with patch) by Raman Gupta. * Added Xfer error column to the host summary table in the CGI interface. Based on patch submitted by Jan Kratochvíl. * Added alternate freebsd-backuppc2 init.d script that is more compact. Submitted by Dan Niles.
* Modified bin/BackupPC_dump to fix the case of a single partial backup followed by a successful incremental resulting in a full backup of level 1, rather than level 0. Reported by Jeff Kosowsky. * Fixed BackupPC::PoolWrite to always create the parent directory. This fixed a case with rsync/rsyncd where a file like "-i" in the top-level directory sorts before ".", which meant the directory creation is after the file creation. Also PoolWrite errors now increment xferError count. Reported by Jeff Kosowsky. * BackupPC now gives a more useful error message if BackupPC_nightly takes more than 24 hours (ie: when the next one is meant to start). Reported by Tony Schreiner.
* Fixed encoding of email subject header in bin/BackupPC_sendEmail as suggested by Jean-Claude Repetto. Also changed $Conf{EMailHeaders} charset to utf-8. Also changed bin/BackupPC_sendEmail to not send any per-client email if $Conf{BackupsDisable} is set. * Added server message for queuing a single host based on patch submitted by Joe Digilio. * Added $Conf{CmdQueueNice} to specify nice level for command queue commands (eg: BackupPC_link and BackupPC_nightly). Suggested by Carl Soderstrom. * Changed bin/BackupPC_dump to not ping or lookup the host if $Conf{BackupsDisable} is set. Requested by John Rouillard. * Added error check in BackupPC::Xfer::RsyncFileIO after call to BackupPC::Xfer::RsyncDigest->digestStart(), reported by Jeff Kosowsky. * Minor fix to sprintf arguments in BackupPC::Attrib, reported by Jonathan Kamens. * Fixed sort compareLOGName syntax in bin/BackupPC for perl 5.10.x, reported by Jeff Kosowsky and Holger Parplies. * Fixed bin/BackupPC_archiveStart to set compression correctly, and also set the file extension to .gz when compression is on. Reported by Stephen Vaughan. * Updated BackupPC.pod for $Conf{BackupsDisable}, reported by Nils Breunese. * Updates to makeDist for command-line setting of version and release date from Paul Mantz. * Add output from Pre/Post commands to per-client LOG file, in addition to existing output in the XferLOG file. Patch from Stuart Teasdale. * Removed BackupPC_compressPool and BackupPC::Xfer::BackupPCd.
* Added BackupPC::Xfer::Protocol as a common class for each Xfer method. This simplifies some of the xfer specific code. Implemented by Paul Mantz. * Added FTP xfer method, implemented by Paul Mantz. * Added BackupPC::Xfer module to provide a common interface to the different xfer methods. Implemented by Paul Mantz. * Moved setting of $bpc->{PoolDir} and $bpc->{CPoolDir} after the config file is read in BackupPC::Lib. Fix proposed by Tim Taylor and Joe Krahn. * Create $TopDir and related data directories in BackupPC_dump prior to hardlink test. Requested by Les Stott. * Modified lib/BackupPC/CGI/RSS.pm to replace \n with \r\n in the RSS http response headers. Patch submitted by Thomas Eckhardt. * Modified bin/BackupPC_archive to allow the archive request file name to contain spaces and dashes, requested by Tim Massey. * Fix to configure.pl for --no-fhs case to initialize ConfigDir from Dan Pritts. Also changed perl path to #!/usr/bin/env perl. * Modified bin/BackupPC_archiveHost to shell escape the output file name. That allows it to contain spaces and other special characters. Requested by Toni Van Remortel. * Added --config-override to configure.pl, allow config settings to be set on the command line. Proposed by Les Stott and Holger Parplies. * Minor updates to lib/BackupPC/Lang/fr.pm from Nicolas STRANSKY applied by GFK. * Minor updates to lib/BackupPC/Lang/de.pm from Klaus Weidenbach. * lib/BackupPC/Xfer/Smb.pm now increments xferErrCnt on NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED and ERRnoaccess errors from smbclient. Reported by Jesús Martel. * Modified bin/BackupPC_sendEmail to not send any per-client email if $Conf{BackupsDisable} is set.
Minor tweaks for 3.1.0beta0 release.
Changes for 3.1.0beta0. * Added new script BackupPC_archiveStart that allows command-line starting of archives. Based on script written by Sergey Kovzik, which in turn was based on an earlier version by Holger Parplies. * Added check to BackupPC at startup that $TopDir can support hardlinks. Also added check to BackupPC_dump that a hardlink below $TopDir/pc/HOST can be made to below $TopDir/cpool. Also added the need for a hard-link capable file system to the documentation. Suggested by Nils Breunese. * Made the default charset for BackupPC_zipCreate cp1252, which appears to work correctly with WinZip. Unfortunately there is no clear standard for charset encoding in zip files. * Added support so that pre-3.0 backups with non-utf8 charsets can be viewed and restored correctly. A new config variable $Conf{ClientCharsetLegacy} specifies the charset used to encode file names in legacy backups. This is only relevant if you are trying to view or restore a backup made with BackupPC 2.x and some of the file names have non-ascii characters. * Added setting of the environment variable BPC_REQUSER to the requesting user name in BackupPC prior to fork(), so each child process inherits the value. Submitted by Holger Parplies. * Fixed bug in rsync incrementals that happens on particular file names when a file being backed up fails in both rsync phases. Reported by Dan Smisko. * Removed ConfDir from config editor (since it is hardcoded in lib/BackupPC/Lib.pm). Also made TopDir and LogDir only visible if useFHS (for non-FHS they are hardcoded in lib/BackupPC/Lib.pm).
* Added some performance improvements to BackupPC::Xfer::RsyncFileIO for the case of small files with cached checksums. * Added optional support for IO::Dirent which allows inode information to be extracted from the dirent directory structure. This allows BackupPC to order some directory operations by inode, which on some file systems (eg: ext3) can results in a 20-30% performance gain. On other file systems there is no real improvement. This optimization is turned on automatically if IO::Dirent is installed. * Added sorting by column feature to host summary table in CGI interface. Implemented by Jeremy Tietsort. * Added FreeBSD init.d file provided by Gabriel Rossetti. * Applied small patch from Sergey to lib/BackupPC/Xfer/Tar.pm that makes it ignore "socket ignored" error on incrementals. * Applied small patch from Sergey to bin/BackupPC_archiveHost. * Added RsyncdUserName to the config editor. Reported by Vicent Roca Daniel. * configure.pl clears $Conf{ParPath} if it doesn't point to a valid executable. * Added freebsd-backuppc init.d script from Gabriel Rossetti. * Added documentation for BackupPC_tarPCCopy, including use of -P option to tar suggested by Daniel Berteaud. * Config editor now removes white space at start of exec path. Reported by Christoph Iwasjuta. * CgiDateFormatMMDD == 2 gives a YYYY-MM-DD format for CGI dates, suggested by Imre.
* BackupPC_Admin now uses $Conf{UmaskMode}, so config.pl files written by the editor have more restrictive permissions. Reported by Tim Massey. * Host summary now shows active backups on disabled hosts, from Jono Woodhouse. * Fixed host LOG link and LOG list order, reported by Tim Massey. * Moved Encode.pm version check to start of configure.pl so it produces a useful error message if Encode.pm is too old. * Fixed hrefs to configuration documentation to handle changes in the way perl generates the anchors. Reported by Philip Gleghorn. * Host name links in LOG files now allow "." in the host name. Reported by Jean-Michel Beuken. * Fixes to lib/BackupPC/Xfer/Tar.pm for tar 1.16: allow 1 (ie: 256) as a successful exit status and match "Total bytes read" message for restores. First reported by Torsten Sadowski and debugged by Ralf Gross and Holger Parplies.
* Removed default paths from conf/config.pl so configure.pl will determine the correct ones at install time. Avoids problem of the config editor complaining about bad executable paths the first time you use it. * Changed first byte of compressed files with rsync checksums appended to 0xd7 to allow correct protocol_version >= 27 md4 checksums to be written. Old cached checksum files have a first byte 0xd6 and are now considered to be uncached. They will be automatically updated as needed. * BackupPC_tarPCCopy now handles all file types correctly. Reported by George Avrunin. * Fixes for rsync restore where hardlink is to file outside of the top-level restore directory. Reported by George Avrunin, who helped with debugging. * Fixes for checksum mismatch on restore for certain file sizes. Reported by George Avrunin and others.
additional changes to it.pm (post 3.0.0beta2)
Updates in preparation for 3.0.0beta2: * Config Editor "Save" button is now always visible, but greyed out until there are changes to save. * Config editor allows other tabs to be selected when there is an error, which allows you to fix an error (eg: missing binary) in an exiting config file. Errors are now displayed at the top of the page in addition to next to the erroneous setting. * Fixed config.pl editor writing to solve bug with multi-line text strings ending in newline. Reported and root caused by Les Stott and Jerry Groendyke. * Fixed error recovery case in BackupPC::PoolWrite, reported by Samuel Bancal. * New directory/file/hardlink and symlink image icons from Jono Woodhouse, making directory browse more compact. * Reordered the Server navigation bar links, suggested by David Relson. * Fixed typos in init.d/src/gentoo-backuppc, configure.pl and config.pl reported by David Relson.
* configure.pl checks version of Encode.pm. Reported by Chris Stone. * Several fixes to bin/BackupPC_fixupBackupSummary from Stian Jordet. * Fixed table width in backup browsing to avoid Firefox layout anomoly, provided by Jono Woodhouse. * CSS file updates from Jono Woodhouse. Priod (v2) version is included as BackupPC_stnd_orig.css in case people prefer the old skin. * More compact host summary, including disabled host indication, from Jono Woodhouse. * BackupPC.pid is now world readable, suggested by Casper Thomsen.
* Various changes for 3.0.0beta1 * Fixed several Xfer charset conversions. * Added some CGI utf8 conversions from Rodrigo Real and Vincent Fleuranceau. * Host name is forced to lower case, to match 2.x. * Fixed LOG file naming in BackupPC_restore and BackupPC_archive. * GFK applied fr.pm corrections from Nicolas Stransky. * Updated init.d/src scripts for FHS (ie: replaced __TOPDIR__/log with __LOGDIR__ and __TOPDIR__/conf with __CONFDIR__). Patch provided by Rodrigo Real. * Added --log-dir and --conf-dir options to configure.pl. Reported by Vincent Fleuranceau. * Updated File::RsyncP version check in configure.pl, reported by Vincent Fleuranceau. Changed File::RsyncP version to 0.64.
