Backuppc v4.1.2 Release Notes
Release Date: 2017-05-01 // almost 7 years ago-
🛠 BackupPC 4.1.2 fixes several bugs in 4.1.1. The changes include:
- 🔀 Merged pull requests: #93, #94, #97, #102
- 🛠 Fixed NetBios lookup of hosts, reported by Doug Lytle.
- 🛠 Fixed bin/BackupPC_tarExtract and lib/BackupPC/Xfer/Ftp.pm in case where a directory tree is no longer present in a new backup. Reported by Jens Potthast and Matt Bedynek.
- 🛠 Fixed SCGI when BackupPC is run in non-daemon mode (which is the systemd default starting in 4.1.1).
- ⏪ $Conf{ClientNameAlias} can now be an array of hostnames; the first one that succeeds ping is used for the backup or restore. From martintamare (#94).
- 🛠 Fixed status link in SCGI server, improved the navigation tab (now it doesn't scroll) and some css/html cleanup; from Nicholas Hall (#97).
- 🛠 Fixed logic in bin/BackupPC_dump for $Conf{FixedIPNetBiosNameCheck} to prevent netbios name check; from Nicholas Hall (#102).
- 🛠 Fixed config editor bug in sub-entries of hash config variables, related to SCGI.
- 🛠 Fixed rsync restore of a top-level directory when the share is "/", reported by Ray Frush.
- Increased $Conf{FullKeepCnt}[0] by 1 in expiry calculations, so the most recent filled backup effectively isn't counted for expiry. This improves the behavior, particularly when $Conf{FullKeepCnt} = 1.
- 🌲 Rsync transfers now use --timeout=$Conf{ClientTimeout} instead of using an alarm based on rsync log output, suggested by ACR.
- ➕ added --delete-excluded and --one-file-system to $Conf{RsyncArgs}.
- ✂ Removed extra quotes from $Conf{CgiURL} in configure.pl from Alexander Moisseev (#93). Also added $DestDir to some print messages in configure.pl.
- BackupPC_dump and BackupPC_restore now support the -p option to turn off progress reports. The old -p (inplace) option to BackupPC_tarExtract is now -P.
- Backup directory mtime is now set to the backup endTime.
- ⚡️ Updated FSF address in cgi-bin/BackupPC_Admin, reported by TomCat42 (#91).
