Backuppc v2.1.0.beta1 Release Notes

Release Date: 2004-04-04 // about 20 years ago
  • ------------------------------------------------------------------------

    • ๐Ÿšš The CSS definition has been removed from the config.pl file and is now a separate file, BackupPC_stnd.css. A new config variable, $Conf{CgiCSSFile}, gives the name of the CSS file to use. Suggested by Ender Mathias.

    • ๐Ÿ›  Fixed the filling of the host name select box for admins. The default $Conf{CgiNavBarAdminAllHosts} is now 1. Reported by Doug Lytle.

    • โช Cleaned up warning message for restore using rsync when checksum caching is on, but when file didn't have cached checksums.

    • ๐Ÿ›  Fixed BackupPC_archiveHost to support par2 (par2cmdline). Patch submitted by Jaco Bongers and adapted by Josh Marshall.

    • ๐Ÿ‘Œ Improved stat() usage in BackupPC_nightly, plus some other cleanup, giving a significant performance improvement. Patch submitted by Wayne Scott.

    • ๐Ÿ‘ Allow several BackupPC_nightly processes to run in parallel based on new $Conf{BackupPCNightlyJobs} setting. This speeds up the traversal of the pool, reducing the overall run time for BackupPC_nightly.

    • ๐Ÿ‘ Allow BackupPC_nightly to split the pool traversal across several nightly runs. This improves the running time per night, at the expense of a slight increase in disk storage as unused pool files might not be deleted for a couple of days. Controller by new config setting $Conf{BackupPCNightlyPeriod}.
