synbak v1.3.0 Release Notes

Release Date: 2010-06-08 // almost 14 years ago
    • fixed a bug into tape method when using backup_method_opts
    • fixed pgsql password management (thanks to Phillip Smith for the patch)
    • fixed pgsql databases listing (thanks to Phillip Smith for the patch)
    • fixed backup_no_make_destdir directive (thanks to Phillip Smith for the patch)
    • auto make the destination directory only if exist the parent directory and the backup_no_make_destdir is not used
    • added -d command switch to enable debug (aka. report_stdout=yes)
    • added -o command switch to override every config file variables from the command line example: synbak -s system -m method -o "backup_source=/tmp /var" -o "backup_destination=/srv/backup/daily" you can use multiple -o switches as you want. this features is very useful when used into cron jobs
    • rsync method: FINALLY implemented the hard links system when using backup_incremental=no, this option is very very useful, because let's synbak to use the same disk space as a classic incremental backup, but every backup destination will contain all files as a total backup but using the disk space of an incremental backup!!! NB. the hard links system works only when the backup destination is a linux native file systems!
    • changed backup_incremental=no as default template.conf behavior
