This can be used for browsing, + restoring etc, and will also form the basis of resuming full + dumps. Only one partial is kept, and it is removed as soon + as a successful full (or a new partial) is done. + +* Added support for resuming a full dump for rsync. The partial + full is kept, and to resume an incremental is done against the + partial, and a full is done for the rest. + +* Added support for Rsync checksum caching. Rsync checksum are + appended to the compressed pool files. This means that block + and file checksums do not need to be recomputed on the server + when using rsync. Requires a patch to rsync to support fixed + checksum seeds. This patch is included in the cygwin-rsyncd + release on http://backuppc.sourceforge.net. + +* Major addition of Archive feature from Josh Marshall. Special + clients can be configured to be archive targets (eg: tape drives, + CD-R). Any subset of the backup clients can be selected and tar + archives are created, optionally compressed and split and written + to the output device. Logs are maintained and are browsable. + +* Major changes from Ryan Kucera to add style sheets to the CGI + interface, allowing easy customization. Added new icons and + BackupPC logo. Numerous navigation improvements. + +* Added directory history display to BackupPC_Admin, allowing the + user to quickly see which files changed between backups on a + per-directory basis. + +* Added exponential expiry option for full dumps. This allows you + to specify + + - how many fulls to keep at intervals of $Conf{FullPeriod}, followed by + - how many fulls to keep at intervals of 2 * $Conf{FullPeriod}, + - how many fulls to keep at intervals of 4 * $Conf{FullPeriod}, + - how many fulls to keep at intervals of 8 * $Conf{FullPeriod}, + - how many fulls to keep at intervals of 16 * $Conf{FullPeriod}, + + and so on. This allows you, for example, to keep 4 weekly fulls, + followed by 6 fulls every 4 weeks (approx 1 month) and 2 fulls at + 16 weeks, for roughly 1 year of history. This works by deleting + every other full as each expiry boundary is crossed. Suggested + by David Cramblett. + +* Added Italian language translation it.pm from Lorenzo Cappelletti. + +* Major updates to language files for new features and tags changes. + Updated makeDist to do pedantic consistency checking of language + files. + +* Addition of administration options from Paul Lukins. Initial + page allows server to be started/stopped/reloaded. This still + needs some i18n work. Currently the server start/stop is + commented out. + +* Split BackupPC_Admin into a set of modules, one for each major action. + Each action is now a seperate module in lib/BackupPC/CGI. + +* Allow the blackout period begin/end to span midnight. Adapted + from patch submitted by David Smith. + +* Allow multiple blackout periods, with new config variable + $Conf{BlackoutPeriods} that replaces the old variables + $Conf{BlackoutHourBegin}, $Conf{BlackoutHourEnd}, and + $Conf{BlackoutWeekDays}. Based on patch submitted by + Lorenzo Cappelletti. + +* Disabled alarms after forks to avoid timeouts in children that + do not reset their alarm. Prompted by ideas from James Leu. + +* Added options for block size, buffer size and share wild-card to + BackupPC_tarCreate. Also added negative backup number options + that are relative to the last (so -1 is the last), suggested by + William McKee and Carl Soderstrom. + +* Add creation of per-PC directory in BackupPC/CGI/Restore.pm in + case it doesn't already exist. + +* Added -q -x to all ssh commands in conf/config.pl. Suggested by + SI Reasoning and Niranjan Ghate. + +* Changed restore code so that option #1 (direct restore) can be + disabled if the restore command is undefined. Disabling direct + restore is necessary if the share is read-only. Suggested by + Rich B from SAIC. + +* Changed regexp in lib/BackupPC/Smb.pm to allow numbers with both + a decimal point or comma for international versions of Samba. + Patch submitted by Frank Gard. + +* Browsing and directory history now sort the files in a + case-insensitive manner. + +* Changed exec() syntax to allow executing commands whose path + contains spaces. + +* Swapped the Server and Hosts sections on the Nav bar. Moved the + host search text box to the top of the hosts section. This was + done to move the variable-length part of the Nav bar (when all + hosts are displayed) to the bottom. + +* Fixed a bug in tar restore related to how the common prefix path is + removed. Now ensure that the common path is at a directory boundary. + Reported by Patrick Neuner. + +* Added --chuid ${USER} to init.d/src/gentoo-backuppc. Suggested by + SI Reasoning, Pascal Pochol, Michael Evanoff and others. + +* Added Suse notes to init.d/README from Bruno Vernay. + +* Added Apache 2 documentation fix from Michael Tuzi. + +#------------------------------------------------------------------------ +# Version 2.0.2, 6 Oct 2003 +#------------------------------------------------------------------------ + +* Fixed stupid last-minute change in octal size conversion in + Backup_tarExtract. + +#----------------------------------------------------------------------- +# Version 2.0.1, 5 Oct 2003 +#------------------------------------------------------------------------ + +* Fixed handling of >= 8GB files in BackupPC_tarExtract and >= 4GB + files in BackupPC_tarCreate. + +* Removed smbclient size repair in BackupPC_tarExtract for files + between 2GB and 4GB. This means that BackupPC_tarExtract 2.0.1 + doesn't behave the same as 2.0.0 for file sizes between 2GB and 4GB + extacted using smbclient 2.2.x. If you have problems backing up + files whose size is between 2GB and 4GB using smbclient 2.2.x + you should upgrade smbclient to 3.0, since it now generates + correct file sizes. + +* Replace PingClientPath with PingPath in configure.pl. + +* Removed -T (taint mode) on binaries installed in configure.pl. + +* Added support for smbclient from samba version 3.0.0. + +* Fixed $Conf{HardLinkMax} limit check in BackupPC::Lib; reported + by Ross Skaliotis. + +* In BackupPC_Admin, default REMOTE_USER to $Conf{BackupPCUser} + if it is not defined. This allows the CGI interface to work + when AdminUsers = '*'. Reported by Quentin Arce. + +* For SMB, code that detected files with a read-locked region (eg: + outlook .pst files), removed them and then tried to link with an + earlier version was broken. This code missed a step of mangling + the file names. This is now fixed. Reported by Pierre Bourgin. + +* A backup of a share that has zero files is now considered + fatal. This is used to catch miscellaneous Xfer errors that + result in no files being backed up. A new config parameter + $Conf{BackupZeroFilesIsFatal} (defaults to 1) and can be set to + zero to turn off this check. Suggested by Guillaume Filion. + Additional change: this check only applies to a full dump. + +* SMB: now detect NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED on entire share or BackupFilesOnly + (also ERRDOS - ERRnoaccess (Access denied.) for older versions of + smbclient.) Suggested by Guillaume Filion. + +* SMB: now detects "tree connect failed: NT_STATUS_BAD_NETWORK_NAME" and + the dump is considered failed. + +* Rsync: Previously BackupFilesOnly = '/' did --include '/' --exclude '/*', + which just included the '/' directory and nothing below. Now it + does just --include '/', which should include everything. + Reported by denon. + +* Add hostError to DumpPostUserCmd variable substitutions for both dump + and restore. + +* Verbose output in Lib.pm goes to STDERR, not STDOUT. This now + makes BackupPC_dump -v work better. + +* Don't allow browsing with ".." in directory in case a user tries + to trick BackupPC_Admin into displaying directories outside where + they are allowed. + +* Required File::RsyncP version is now 0.44, since File::RsyncP 0.44 + fixes large file (>2GB) bugs. Large file bugs reported by Steve + Waltner. + +#------------------------------------------------------------------------ +# Version 2.0.0, 14 Jun 2003 +#------------------------------------------------------------------------ + +* Minor tweaks to disable utf8 on utf8-capable machines (eg: RH8+). + Added "no utf8" to all programs, and added binmode() to relevant + file handles. + +#------------------------------------------------------------------------ +# Version 2.0.0beta3, 1 Jun 2003 +#------------------------------------------------------------------------ + * Several improvements to restore: cancel now reports the correct message and cleans up correctly. * Rsync with whitespace and wildcard excludes fixed by replacing - argList with argList+ in config.pl. + argList with argList+ in config.pl plus a fix to Lib.pm for + shell escaping array arguments. + +* Fixed rsync restore for character and block special devices + (major and minor device numbers weren't correctly restored). * Fixed typo in bin/BackupPC_restore (XferLOG -> RestoreLOG).
