    November 29, 2007
    • Almost complete mysql method rewrite with a lot of useful features: now you can use the -M switch to make splitted database dumps (each db in a separate dump file). ex. synbak -s dbserver -m mysql -M split however the default beaviour is always to make --all-databases dumps (all db in a single file)

    October 30, 2006
    • Fixed a bug in rsync method when 'backup_no_make_destdir' option is used
    • Fixed another bug in the host check function, now remote backup should be run on SuSE Linux distro also explanation: the 'nc' command under SuSE is named 'netcat' and this prevent the 'host_check_port' function to works properly many thanks to Sascha Vogt and Nicolas Fischer for suggestions.
    • Fixed a bug in the cifs umount function
    • Updated FAQ file
  • v1.0.10 Changes

    October 14, 2006
    • Fixed an annoying bug in the 'host port check' function used in remote backups, causing remote host check always fail. synbak use 'nc' command for probing remote service ports and verify if the remote host is up or down. On some systems nc doesn't work as expected, returning error codes even if the command line options are corrects. for example, in working nc installations to verify if your mysql server is up, if you run 'nc -z localhost 3306', nc must return a 'success' message (with return code 0). In not working nc installations nc doesn't accept this command.
