Backuppc v2.1.2 Release Notes
Release Date: 2005-09-05 // over 18 years ago-
------------------------------------------------------------------------
🛠 Fixed simple but serious bug in bin/BackupPC_tarCreate that prevented hardlinks being saved correctly. Debugged by Michael (mna.news) with several other people.
🛠 Fixed serious bug in bin/BackupPC_dump reported/debugged by Dan Niles that can happen when multiple full backups are deleted after $Conf{FullKeepCnt} is changed.
🔄 Changed lib/BackupPC/CGI/Lib.pm so that link to "$TopDir/conf/$host.pl" is displayed if it exists. Patch from Andreas Vögele.
Applied daemonize patch to bin/BackupPC from: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=301057
It's now a fatal error if $Conf{CompressLevel} is set, but Compress::Zlib is not found. Before $Conf{CompressLevel} was silently set to 0, which made all the backups uncompressed. That meant the user never knew if they forget to install Compress::Zlib but were expecting compression to be on.
Finally increased $Conf{ClientTimeout} to 72000 (20 hours).
➕ Added sleep 1 in restart() function in init.d/src/gentoo-backuppc, suggested by Jon Hood.
➕ Added $DestDir to the path of the CGI image directory in configure.pl. Patch submitted by Andreas Vögele.
🌐 Applied extensive patch to French translation from Frederic Lehobey.
Minor change to Dutch language $Lang{Pool_Stat} from Wander Winkelhorst.
Minor change to French language $Lang{EMailOutlookBackupMesg} and $Lang{EMailOutlookBackupSubj} from Ludovic Gasc.
