Rdiff-backup v0.11.0 Release Notes
Release Date: 2002-10-05 // over 21 years ago-
If get a socket error from trying to create a socket whose name is too long, just skip file instead of exiting with error (bug report by Ivo De Decker).
➕ Added --exclude-special-files switch, which excludes fifos, symlinks, sockets, and device files.
🏁 --windows-mode is now short for --windows-time-format --chars-to-quote A-Z: --no-hard-links --exclude-special-files. Thanks to Paul-Erik 🏁 Törrönen for some helpful windows info.
Multiple --include and --exclude statements can now be given in a 📚 single file. See the documentation on --{include|exclude}-globbing-filelist. Thanks to Henrik Lewander for 💻 pointing out that command line length could otherwise be a problem.
🛠 Fixed bug in filelist processing that ignored leading or trailing whitespace in filelists. Now filenames with, for instance, trailing spaces can be used in filelists. Filelists which took advantage of this bug for formatting may have to be edited.
Applied major/minor patch contributed by David S. rdiff-backup should now correctly copy device files on platforms such as NetBSD.
⏪ It is now possible to restore from a read-only filesystem (before 🌲 rdiff-backup would fail when trying to open log file). Thanks to Gregor Zattler for bug report.
🛠 Fixed bug that prevented certain restores when the source directory was specified with a trailing backslash.
➕ Added a bit more logging so it should be apparent which file was being 🖨 processed when an error occurs (thanks to Gerd Knops for suggestion).
🛠 Fixed bug when using --chars-to-quote and directory deleted that has quoted characters in it.
