    • 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!

    • 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

    • Many enhancements to the appearance of html reports
    • Created the synbak logo and made them the default for the new backups
    • Major refactoring of html report code and css file structure, now the html reports appearance is fully customizable via the external synbak.css file, and the html pages are now fully CSS 2.0 compliant (because of this major change, you must rebuild all html indexes if you want correctly see the old reports, use this command: synbak -s system -m method -r html -R ria)
    • HTML reports are now validated to the W3C XHTML 1.0 Strict standard
    • Integrated the tablesort.js javascript library to the html reports, so is now possibile to do realtime sorting and reordering of the synbak reports tables.
