synbak v1.2.2 Release Notes

Release Date: 2008-09-22 // over 15 years ago
    • switched synbak license from GPLv2 to GPLv3
    • more synbak.spec fixes needed for fedora repository inclusion
    • renamed example.conf to template.conf and moved from docs dir to synbak share dir: /usr/share/synbak/template.conf
    • template.conf cleanups
    • some fixes to the functions.sh file (thanks to Vitaly Ostanin)
    • new backup method: dar now synbak can make backups using the 'dar' utility (http://dar.linux.free.fr/) nb. this is an initial dar support, and it's almost untested, please reports bugs
    • new backup method: pgsql now synbak can make dumps of PostgreSQL databases as backup_remote_uri use "pgsql://", ex. backup_remote_uri = pgsql://postgres@localhost TODO: because the commands pg_dump and pg_dumpall can't manage password prompts from stdin, right now you must configure your pg_hba.conf and pg_ident.conf to accept connection from the user running synbak command without password prompt (i apologize for that, but this is a limitation of pg_dump)
    • some fixes to mysql, oracle and ldap methods: the dumps now are compressd on the fly into bzip2 format, reducing cpu usage and processing time
