Backuppc v2.1.0.beta2 Release Notes
Release Date: 2004-05-23 // almost 20 years ago-
------------------------------------------------------------------------
$Conf{BackupFilesOnly} and $Conf{BackupFilesExclude} now apply to every share, rather than just the first, in the case where they are arrays and there are multiple shares. Suggested by Andy Evans.
On the phase 2 retry pass with rsync, verify the cached checksums if checksum caching is turned on. This will catch the case of cached checksums being incorrectly appended to the compressed pool file. Added new config parameter $Conf{RsyncCsumCacheVerifyProb} so that cached checksums are verified with a selectable probability. Also, increased File::RsyncP version number to 0.51.
🔧 configure.pl now supports an optional batch mode. Command-line options are used to specify all the information that configure.pl needs. This is useful for building auto-install packages. Also, configure.pl now includes pod documentation, so you can do "perldoc configure.pl" to see all the command-line options. Suggested, tested and tweaked by Stuart Herbert for possible Gentoo inclusion.
At each wakeup, clients are now queued based on how old the most recent backup is. Clients with errors are queued first, with the oldest error times going first. The rest of the clients are queued next, with the clients with the oldest backup going first. Previously the clients were simply queued in alphabetic order. Suggested by Mike Trisko and Tony Nelson.
➕ Added config parameter $Conf{PartialAgeMax} that controls whether partials are saved at all, and if so, whether the partial will be ignored at the next full backup if it is too old.
BackupPC_tarExtract now allows empty archives without reporting an error. Reported by Don Silvia.
✂ Removed Browse Backups link from Nav Bar in Archive Info display. Reported by Ralph Paßgang.
🛠 Fixed documentation display for regular users. Reported by Ralph Paßgang.
Status and PC Summary now work for regular users and only show that user's hosts. Server general status information only appears for admins. Suggested by Ralph Paßgang.
🚚 Moved the last three navigation-bar links (docs, FAQ and SF) to a new config parameter $Conf{CgiNavBarLinks}. This allows these links to be locally configured. Based on a patch submitted by Ralph Paßgang.
👍 Allow the navigation bar search box to be disabled by setting $Conf{CgiSearchBoxEnable} to 0. Based on a patch submitted by Ralph Paßgang.
⚡️ Updates to de.pm from Ralph Paßgang.
Made the BackupPC icon a link to the SF BackupPC project page.
