#343, #344, #345, #347, #348, #349
* Filled/Full backups can now be marked as "keep", which excludes them
from any expiry/deletion. Also, a backup-specific comment can be added
to any backup to capture any important information about that backup
(eg, "pre-upgrade of xyz").
* Added metrics CGI, which adds Prometheus support and replaces RSS,
by @joola (#344, #347)
* Tar XferMethod now supports xattrs and acls; xattrs sbould be
compatible with rsync XferMethod, but acls are not
* Sort open directories to top when browsing backup tree
* Format code using perltidy, and included in pre-commit flow, by @joola
(#334, #337, #342, #343, #345). Thanks to @joola and @shancock9
(perltidy author) for significant effort and support, plus improvements
in perltidy, to make this happen.
* Added $Conf{PoolNightlyDigestCheckPercent}, which checks the md5
digest of this fraction of the pool files each night.
* $Conf{ClientShareName2Path} is saved in backups file and the share
to client path mapping is now displayed when you browse a backup so
you know the actual client backup path for each share, if different
from the share name
* configure.pl now checks the per-host config.pl in a V3 upgrade to
warn the user if $Conf{RsyncClientCmd} or $Conf{RsyncClientRestoreCmd}
are used for that host, so that the new settings $Conf{RsyncSshArgs}
and $Conf{RsyncClientPath} can be manually updated.
* Fixed host mutex handling for dhcp hosts; shifted initial mutex requests
to client programs
* Updated webui icon, logo and favicon, by @moisseev (#325,
#326, #329, #330)
* Added $Conf{RsyncRestoreArgsExtra} for host-specific restore
settings
* Language files are now all use utf8 charsets
* Bumped required version of BackupPC::XS to 0.62 and rsync-bpc
to 3.0.9.15.
* Ping failure message only written to stdout only if verbose
* BackupPC_backupDelete removes partial v3 backup in HOST/new;
fixes #324 reported by @thalueng
* BackupPC_backupDelete adds -f option to over keep, if set
* BackupPC_nightly: change -f to -F when running BackupPC_refCountUpdate
during fsck
* Better formatting of eval cmd result in cmdSystemOrEvalLong()
* Remove zero count entries in per-backup and per-host poolCnt
files
* Add a fake version parameter to the CSS URL to overcome caching
* Fixed ALRM typo in BackupPC_dump, by @rhansen (#348)
* Fixed command name in error message in BackupPC_archive,
by @rhansen (#349)
* lib/BackupPC/Xfer/Rsync.pm skips adding --iconv option when
$conf->{ClientCharset} is utf8 or empty, to avoid a long-standing
rsync bug
* lib/BackupPC/Xfer/Rsync.pm provides a more informative warning
when the client rsync exits with an IO error, and also includes
the IO error in the xferErr count
* lib/BackupPC/Xfer/Smb.pm recognizes NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE error
* Increase text length in config editor fields, by @moisseev (#336)
* Typo fix in config.pl, by @cure (#338)
* Minor documentation updates, removing old SourceForge links

#312, #313, #314.
* Added per-host read/write exclusivity to worker programs, so
command-line programs don't collide with backups or other
operations; reported by @hamster65 (issue #299)
* Added $Conf{RsyncIncrArgsExtra} (issue #284)
* Added $Conf{ClientShareName2Path}, which allows mapping of share
names/path to real paths on the client (eg, to backup a snapshot
that's in a different directory to the share name path)
* Fixed v3 digest calculation in bin/BackupPC_backupDuplicate and
bin/BackupPC_migrateV3toV4; reported by @palmtop (issue #291)
* Improved handling of BackupPC_nightly running for more than 24 hours:
drop next queued run, and provide better log messages; reported
by @guestisp (issue #303)

$Info->{NightlyPhase} if it's larger than $Conf{BackupPCNightlyPeriod};
reported by @guestisp (issue #304)

# Version 4.3.0, 25 Nov 2018
#------------------------------------------------------------------------
Merged pull requests #200, #208, #216, #217, #229, #230, #231, #232,
#233, #235.
* Added checking of file system inode usage, with new configuration
settings $Conf{DfInodeUsageCmd} and $Conf{DfMaxInodeUsagePct}.
* bin/BackupPC_tarExtract: fixes to hardlink handling on incrementals,
plus cleanup
* bin/BackupPC_backupDuplicate: fixed directory creation for copying v3
backups.
* bin/BackupPC_backupDelete: couple of inode-related bug fixes; also do
fsck if $Conf{RefCntFsck} != 0.
* bin/BackupPC: fixed handling of dhcp hosts, reported by Jean-Marc.
* bin/BackupPC: improved version check of rsync_bpc to allow period
before "beta", reported by @ktenney in issue #214.
* Added $Conf{EMailAdminSubject} to allow the admin email subject to
be set.
* Changed default $Conf{CgiDateFormatMMDD} to 2 (YYYY-MM-DD), submitted
by @moisseev (#231).
* Allow multiple groups in $Conf{CgiAdminUserGroup}, submitted by
@moisseev (#235).
* Improvements to html table sorting, and made more tables sortable,
submitted by @brenard and @moisseev (issue #199, PRs #200, #229, #230,
#232).
* Add action type column to queue status page (#208), submitted by
@brenard.
* lib/BackupPC/CGI/Summary.pm: host summary only reports age of completed
backups (not partial or active), suggested by Michael Selway.
* lib/BackupPC/CGI/HostInfo.pm: show active backup as partial if there
is no job running (to handle case of abnormal exit of BackupPC),
reported by @8666 in issue #220.
* systemd/src/backuppc.service: added ExecReload, submitted by
@opoplawski (#233).
* lib/BackupPC/Xfer/Rsync.pm: empty $Conf{RsyncdPasswd} is no longer fatal;
removed remaining mentions of RsyncdAuthRequired from conf/config.pl
and lib/BackupPC/Config/Meta.pm; reported by @jooola in issue #224.
* bin/BackupPC_dump: moved alarm($Conf{ClientTimeout}) to after all the
pre-backup code (including expiry, duplication etc of backups, which
could be slow) reprted by Michael Selway.
* bin/BackupPC_refCntUpdate: added a couple of __bpc_progress_state__ prints
to improve status reporting during nightly (-m), reprted by Michael Selway.
* lib/BackupPC/CGI/RSS.pm: added Disabled value to host info (copied from
$Conf{BackupsDisable}); suggested by @danielmotaleite (issue #222).
* lib/BackupPC/Xfer/Rsync.pm: added checks for a couple of common rsync
file error and error exit messages that now increment the xferErrs count.
* bin/BackupPC_tarExtract: errors related to a particular file are counted
as Xfer errors, rather than considered fatal.
* bin/BackupPC_dump: added check that $LogFd is defined before using it.
* lib/BackupPC/Lib.pm: replaced exit() with POSIX::_exit() so that object
destruction is skipped in the child process. This fixes corruption of
the compressed XferLOG file if the exec of $Conf{DumpPostUserCmd} fails.
* conf/config.pl: updated project home page to https://backuppc.github.io/backuppc
in email message footers.
#------------------------------------------------------------------------

#------------------------------------------------------------------------
Merged pull request #195.

sets whether users and admins can delete backups via the CGI
interface. The default value is 0, which means it's disabled
for regular users but available for admins.
* Fixed delete backup bug in bin/BackupPC_Admin_SCGI reported by
Julian Zielke in issue #193.
* Added check to dirCacheFlush() in bin/BackupPC_tarExtract to skip files

from @moisseev (#152)
* bin/BackupPC: added more detailed startup information (perl and BackupPC

* lib/BackupPC/CGI/Browse.pm: default display now has the last, rather
than first, share opened.
* Replaced submit with button so that Enter doesn't activate the Delete
button. Fixes issue #161, reported by Philippe-M.

# Version Version 4.1.3, 3 Jun 2017
#------------------------------------------------------------------------
Merged pull requests: #109, #114
* Fixed editing of compound menu variables (eg: BackupFilesOnly).
* Made tarPipe in lib/BackupPC/Xfer/Tar.pm non-blocking to avoid a
reported deadlock when BackupPC's select() returns ok for reading,
but there are no bytes to read from the client tar's log/stdout
output. Thanks to Matt Bedynek for running various tests and
providing debugging insights to track this down.
* Better error checking when using $f->read() on pool files.
Thanks to Cody Jackson for tracking down this issue, related to
reading corrupted compressed pool files. There's also an
additional fix in backuppc-xs (version 0.54).
* Cleans up any orphan temporary pool writing files.
* Fixed utf-8 output in SCGI.
* Fixed a reference counting bug in BackupPC_tarExtract.
* Fixed rsync restore transfer byte total, reported by Alexander
Moisseev
* Replaced logo href with https://backuppc.github.io/backuppc.
* On a v3->v4 upgrade, remove the new --one-file-system flag from the new
RsyncArgs if it wasn't there before.
* Added /usr/local/bin to search path in configure.pl from Alexander
Moisseev (#109).
* Avoid missing or extra quotes when replacing misused undef or
empty string values in configure.pl from Alexander Moisseev
(#114).
* Chasing down a still unsolved bug with help from Lano and Dieter Fauth
where newly added pool files in uncompressed backups get removed
by BackupPC_refCountUpdate during a long-running backup, or if
BackupPC_migrateV3toV4 is running. Two workarounds added in this
release: BackupPC_migrateV3toV4 will now exit if BackupPC is running,
and BackupPC_refCountUpdate only removes pool files that are more than
a week old.

# Version 4.1.2, 30 Apr 2017
#------------------------------------------------------------------------
Merged pull requests: #93, #94, #97, #102
* Fixed NetBios lookup of hosts, reported by Doug Lytle.
* Fixed bin/BackupPC_tarExtract and lib/BackupPC/Xfer/Ftp.pm in case where
a directory tree is no longer present in a new backup. Reported by
Jens Potthast and Matt Bedynek, who helped debug it.
* Fixed SCGI when BackupPC is run in non-daemon mode (which is the systemd
default starting in 4.1.1).
* $Conf{ClientNameAlias} can now be an array of hostnames; the first one
that succeeds ping is used for the backup or restore. From martintamare
(#94).
* Fixed status link in SCGI server, improved the navigation tab (now
it doesn't scroll) and some css/html cleanup; from Nicholas Hall (#97).
* Fixed logic in bin/BackupPC_dump for $Conf{FixedIPNetBiosNameCheck} to
prevent netbios name check; from Nicholas Hall (#102).
* Fixed config editor bug in sub-entries of hash config variables, related
to SCGI.
* Fixed rsync restore of a top-level directory when the share is "/",
reported by Ray Frush.
* Increased $Conf{FullKeepCnt}[0] by 1 in expiry calculations, so the most
recent filled backup effectively isn't counted for expiry. This improves
the behavior, particularly when $Conf{FullKeepCnt} = 1.
* Rsync transfers now use --timeout=$Conf{ClientTimeout} instead of
using an alarm based on rsync log output, suggested by ACR.
* added --delete-excluded and --one-file-system to $Conf{RsyncArgs}.
* Removed extra quotes from $Conf{CgiURL} in configure.pl from Alexander
Moisseev (#93). Also added $DestDir to some print messages in configure.pl.
* BackupPC_dump and BackupPC_restore now support the -p option to turn off
progress reports. The old -p (inplace) option to BackupPC_tarExtract
is now -P.
* Backup directory mtime is now set to the backup endTime.
* Updated FSF address in cgi-bin/BackupPC_Admin, reported by TomCat42 (#91).

(issue #75) reported by spikebike.
* In lib/BackupPC/Lib.pm, if Socket::getaddrinfo() doesn't exist (ie,
an old version of Socket.pm), then default to ipv4 ping.
* Updates to configure.pl to make config-path default be based on
config-dir (#79), prepended config-path with dest-dir, fixing a
config.pl merge bug affecting $Conf{PingPath} reported by Richard Shaw,
and a few other fixes.

new Github links.
* Added BackupPC_migrateV3toV4 that migrates old V3 backup storage to
V4, eliminating hardlinks. The forward merging of V3 incrementals is
not changed; just the backup tree is updated to use V4 attrib files, and
the linked V3 files are removed. Thanks to Michael Huntley for testing.
* Renamed init.d to systemd, added systemd/src/backuppc.service template
* Replaced CSS file with new BackupPC_stnd.css from Ernesto Carrea (#59,#73).
Renamed old ones to conf/BackupPC_retro_v2.css and conf/BackupPC_retro_v3.css.
* Updated lib/BackupPC/DirOps.pm with more robust checking that IO::Dirent
works. Matches similar changes to 3.x that didn't make it into 4.x.
Fixes issue #56.
* BackupPC_refCountUpdate handles case of empty backups better. It creates
a noPoolCntOk file if there are legitimately no poolCnt files after
running. Reported by Alexander Kobel.
* Fixed umask() in child processes (issue #58) reported by Alexander
Moisseev.

#------------------------------------------------------------------------
* Added rrdtool support, based on code from Alexander Moisseev.
* Fixed BackupPC_attribPrint to auto-detect the compression status of the
attrib file. Reported by Chris Adamson.
* Fixed bin/BackupPC_tarExtract for case where no subdirectories are in
the archive, which caused the top-level attrib file to not be written.
Reported by Alexander Moisseev.

/var/run/BackupPC (or $Conf{RunDir}), and the documentation to
$InstallDir/share/doc/BackupPC.
#------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Version 4.0.0alpha2, 15 Sep 2013
#------------------------------------------------------------------------
* Added SCGI support, allowing the Apache to run as any user, with requests
handled by BackupPC_Admin_SCGI, which is run by the BackupPC server. This
provides an alternative to running Apache as the BackupPC user, or needing
to use a setuid BackupPC_Admin script.
* Parallelized bin/BackupPC_refCountUpdate, so that $Conf{MaxBackupPCNightlyJobs}
instances run.
* Fixed pool size counting.
#------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Version 4.0.0alpha1, 30 Jun 2013
#------------------------------------------------------------------------
* A few minor bug fixes.
* Some improvements to bin/BackupPC_fsck
#------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Version 4.0.0alpha0, 23 Jun 2013
#------------------------------------------------------------------------
* Major changes.
* Updated init.d/debian-backuppc from Eduardo Daz Rodrguez.
#------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Version 3.3.0, 14 Apr 2013
#------------------------------------------------------------------------
* Changed restore file name from restore.{zip|tar} to restore_$host_YYYY-MM-DD.{zip|tar},
where the date is the start date of the backup. Originally suggested by Brad Alexander,
with a healthy debate among Les, Holger, Jeffrey, Adam, Carl and others.
* Changed the timeStamp2 function in lib/BackupPC/CGI/Lib.pm so that times more than 330
days ago also include the year. More recent times continue to use just the day of month
and month.
* Made the directory path display (when browsing backups or history) a sequence of links,
allowing any parent directory to be quickly selected.
* Added Japanese language file lib/BackupPC/Lang/ja.pm submitted by Rikiya
Yamamoto.
* Added Ukrainian language file lib/BackupPC/Lang/uk.pm submitted by Serhiy Yakimchuck.
* Added Russian language file lib/BackupPC/Lang/ru.pm submitted by Sergei Butakov.
* Patch from Alexander Moisseev that fixed file name encodings in zip files.
The default charset is now utf8. Added a menu option to override the codepage.
* Removed -N option from smbclient command in conf/config.pl to remain compatible
with more recent versions (3.2.3 and later) of smbclient. Reported and discussed
by various people on the mail list, most recently by Jeff Boyce, Les Mikesell and
Holger Parplies. Alexander Moisseev also submitted a patch.
Using smbclient >= 3.2.3 with the -N option will give a "tree connect failed:
NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED" error.
* Reapplied a patch from Tyler Wagner for lib/BackupPC/CGI/HostInfo.pl so that
empty email status info doesn't appear. Somehow this missed 3.2.1.
* Fixed check on $parfile in bin/BackupPC_archiveHost since it is numeric.
Fix submitted by Tim Massey.
* Ensure $num is numeric in lib/BackupPC/CGI/View.pm error message
to avoid XSS attack. Report and patch by Jamie Strandboge.
* Ensure $num and $share in lib/BackupPC/CGI/RestoreFile.pm error messages
are escaped, to avoid XSS vulnerability. Report and patch by Jamie Strandboge.
Also added some additional error checking and tweaked the handling of the
invalid number error message.
* Fixed qw(...) deprecated syntax warnings in lib/BackupPC/Storage/Text.pm
and lib/BackupPC/Lib.pm. Patch supplied by Juergen Harms. Also got a
patch from Alexander Moisseev and report from Richard Shaw.
* Fixed error in bin/BackupPC_sendEmail that caused accumulation of
per-host errors in the admin email to be skipped if a host's user
is not defined. Reported by Marco Dalla Via.
* Fixed lib/BackupPC/CGI/RSS.pm so that the base_url is correct for https.
Report and fix by Samuel Monsarrat.
* Added more careful checking that IO::Dirent returns valid inodes and file types.
Suggested by Daniel Harvey.
* Removed redundant setting of $Lang{CfgEdit_Title_Other} from all the Lang files.
* Applied couple of fixes to Lib.pm suggested by Jeffrey Kosowsky for special case of where
configuration commands are fragments of perl code.
#------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Version 3.2.1, 24 Apr 2011
#------------------------------------------------------------------------
* Ensure $num is numeric in lib/BackupPC/CGI/Browse.pm to avoid XSS
attack. Report and patch by Adam E.
* Fixed application of "*" in $Conf{BackupFilesOnly} and
$Conf{BackupFilesExclud} for 2nd and later shares. Reported
by Alessandro and Alexander Maringer.
* Fixed email status check in lib/BackupPC/CGI/HostInfo.pl so that
empty email info doesn't appear; reported by Wayne Trevena,
and based on patch from Tyler Wagner.
* Several fixes to FTP xfer mode related to file excludes, from
Dave Pearce.
* Wrapped eval() around unpack() in lib/BackupPC/Attrib.pm to avoid
failures on corrupted attrib files; patch from Tim Connors.
* Applied documention patch from Alexander Moisseev.
#------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Version 3.2.0, 31 Jul 2010
#------------------------------------------------------------------------
* Fixed code that detects duplicate shares in bin/BackupPC_dump
* Added fix to lib/BackupPC/Zip/FileMember.pm to avoid bug in
Archive::Zip 1.30 when creating compressed archives.
* Added Czech translation from Petr Pokorny.
#------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Version 3.2.0beta1, 24 Jan 2010
#------------------------------------------------------------------------
* Fixed FTP xfer method, with help from Holger Parplies and
Mirco Piccin. FTP restores are still not supported.
* Fixed bug in BackupPC_sendEmail where a user only receives
email about one host.
* Fixed bug where top-level attrib file was linked into the pool with
the wrong digest, caused by it being updated multiple times with
multiple shares. Reported by Jeff Kosowsky who also supplied a
patch.
* Fixed bug in blackout calculation when multiple periods span midnight.
Report and patch from Joachim Falk.
* Wrapped eval {} around attribute unpacking to make it more robust
to data corruption. Path submitted by Tim Connors.
* Ignore fileType 8 and 9 in BackupPC_tarCreate rather than consider then
errors. These are sockets and unknown (eg: solaris door) files that
are created dynamicaly by applications - there is no meaningful restore
for these file types.
* Changed lib/BackupPC/Lib.pm and lib/BackupPC/Storage/Text.pm based on
patches from Davide Brini and Holger Parplies so that main config
%Conf values are available in the host config file, allowing more
flexibility in perl expressions in the config files. Users beware,
since the CGI editor won't work correctly if the config file have
perl expressions.
* Obscure password values in LOG file when CGI editor is used to change
values. Proposed by Steve Ling.
* Added favicon.ico from Axel Beckert. Thanks to Tyler Wagner for submitting
another version and reminding me about the first.
* Replace "sort(HostSortCompare keys(%$Hosts))" with "sort HostSortCompare keys(%$Hosts)"
in bin/BackupPC to avoid an error with certain versions of perl.
* Fixed $Conf{XX} links in the BackupPC.html and the CGI editor so they
correctly reference the definition.
* Support ${VAR} style variable substitution in commands, in addition to
existing $VAR style. Suggested by Jeffrey Kosowsky.
* Clarified usage of -b and -w options to BackupPC_tarCreate. Submitted by
Michael Selway.
* Repaired Unable_to_connect_to_BackupPC_server Lang string and added new
string Unable_to_connect_to_BackupPC_server_error_message. Proposed and
explained by Holger Parplies.
* Added 'use utf8' to lib/BackupPC/Lang/pl.pm. Reported by Michal Sawicz.
* Minor updates to lib/BackupPC/Lang/fr.pm from Hubert Tournier.
* Minor update to lib/BackupPC/Lang/en.pm from David Relson.
#------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Version 3.2.0beta0, 5 April 2009
#------------------------------------------------------------------------
* Added BackupPC::Xfer::Protocol as a common class for each Xfer
method. This simplifies some of the xfer specific code.
Implemented by Paul Mantz.
* Added FTP xfer method, implemented by Paul Mantz.
* Added BackupPC::Xfer module to provide a common interface to the
different xfer methods. Implemented by Paul Mantz.
* Moved setting of $bpc->{PoolDir} and $bpc->{CPoolDir} after the
config file is read in BackupPC::Lib. Fix proposed by Tim Taylor
and Joe Krahn, and rediscovered by several others including
Holger Parplies.
* Create $TopDir and related data directories in BackupPC_dump
prior to hardlink test. Requested by Les Stott.
* Fixed encoding of email subject header in bin/BackupPC_sendEmail as
suggested by Jean-Claude Repetto. Also changed $Conf{EMailHeaders}
charset to utf-8. Also changed bin/BackupPC_sendEmail to not send
any per-client email if $Conf{BackupsDisable} is set.
* Modified bin/BackupPC_dump to fix the case of a single partial
backup followed by a successful incremental resulting in a full
backup of level 1, rather than level 0. Reported by Jeff
Kosowsky.
* Fixed BackupPC::PoolWrite to always create the parent directory.
This fixed a case with rsync/rsyncd where a file like "-i" in the
top-level directory sorts before ".", which meant the directory
creation is after the file creation. Also PoolWrite errors now
increment xferError count. Reported by Jeff Kosowsky.
* BackupPC now gives a more useful error message if BackupPC_nightly
takes more than 24 hours (ie: when the next one is meant to
start). Reported by Tony Schreiner.
* Fixed IO::Dirent run-time check. Reported by Bernhard Ott and Tino Schwarze
debugged it.
* Added more options to server backup command: rather than just forcing
an incremental or full backup, a regular (auto) backup can be queued
(ie: do nothing/incr/full based on schedule), as well as doing just
an incremental or full or nothing based on the client schedule.
Based on patches submitted by Joe Digilio.
* Modified lib/BackupPC/CGI/RSS.pm to replace \n with \r\n in the RSS
http response headers. Patch submitted by Thomas Eckhardt.
* Modified bin/BackupPC_archive to allow the archive request file
name to contain spaces and dashes, requested by Tim Massey.
* Fix to configure.pl for --no-fhs case to initialize ConfigDir
from Dan Pritts. Also changed perl path to #!/usr/bin/env perl.
* Modified bin/BackupPC_archiveHost to shell escape the output file
name. That allows it to contain spaces and other special characters.
Requested by Toni Van Remortel. Also updated bin/BackupPC_archiveHost
to shell escape and check other arguments.
* Added $Conf{CmdQueueNice} to specify nice level for command queue
commands (eg: BackupPC_link and BackupPC_nightly). Suggested by
Carl Soderstrom.
* Added --config-override to configure.pl, allow config settings to be
set on the command line. Proposed by Les Stott and Holger Parplies.
* Moved call to NmbLookupFindHostCmd in BackupPC_dump to after the
check of whether a backup needs to be done. This makes wakeonlan
work correctly, rather than waking up the client every WakeupSchedule.
Reported by David Lasker.
* Improved settings for compression and compext in BackupPC_archiveStart
based on compression type, as proposed by Paul Dugas. compext is now
empty, .gz or .bz2 based on ArchiveComp.
* Changed bin/BackupPC_dump to not ping or lookup the host if
$Conf{BackupsDisable} is set. Requested by John Rouillard.
* Changed BackupPC_tarCreate to disable output of final nulls in
tar archive when -l or -L option is used. Reported by John
Rouillard.
* Added error check in BackupPC::Xfer::RsyncFileIO after call to
BackupPC::Xfer::RsyncDigest->digestStart(), reported by Jeff
Kosowsky.
* Added variable substitution for host, confDir, client in
RsyncArgs, and also added option RsyncArgsExtra to allow
more easy customization of RsyncArgs on a per-client basis.
Proposed (with patch) by Raman Gupta.
* Added Xfer error column to the host summary table in the CGI
interface. Based on patch submitted by Jan Kratochvl.
* Minor fix to sprintf arguments in BackupPC::Attrib, reported by
Jonathan Kamens.
* Fixed sort compareLOGName syntax in bin/BackupPC for perl 5.10.x,
reported by Jeff Kosowsky and Holger Parplies.
* Fixed bin/BackupPC_archiveStart to set compression correctly,
and also set the file extension to .gz when compression is on.
Reported by Stephen Vaughan.
* Fixed netbios name comparison in bin/BackupPC_dump and
bin/BackupPC_restore to just use the first 15 characters
of the host name. Patch from Dan MacNeil.
* Fixed nmblookup parsing in BackupPC::Lib::NetBiosInfoGet to ignore
entries with the <GROUP> tag. Based on patch from Dan MacNeil.
* Fixed BackupPC_dump so that the XferLOG file is saved when
DumpPreUserCmd fails. Reported by John Rouillard.
* Updated BackupPC.pod for $Conf{BackupsDisable}, reported by
Nils Breunese.
* Added alternate freebsd-backuppc2 init.d script that is
more compact. Submitted by Dan Niles.
* Minor updates to lib/BackupPC/Lang/fr.pm from Nicolas STRANSKY
applied by GFK, and also from Vincent Fleuranceau.
* Minor updates to lib/BackupPC/Lang/de.pm from Klaus Weidenbach.
* Updates to makeDist for command-line setting of version and
release date from Paul Mantz.
* Add output from Pre/Post commands to per-client LOG file, in addition
to existing output in the XferLOG file. Patch from Stuart Teasdale.
* lib/BackupPC/Xfer/Smb.pm now increments xferErrCnt on
NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED and ERRnoaccess errors from smbclient.
Reported by Jess Martel.
* Removed BackupPC_compressPool and BackupPC::Xfer::BackupPCd.
#------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Version 3.1.0, 25 Nov 2007
#------------------------------------------------------------------------
* Fixed config editor bug for case where override is unchecked on
an array where the current array is shorter than the main config's
array.
* Fixed missing close quote in BackupPC_archiveHost reported by Franky
Van Liedekerke.
* Replaced "$BinDir/.." with $bpc->InstallDir() for path to BackupPC
docs, mentioned by Kenneth Porter.
* Moved default of $Conf{IncrLevels} from lib/BackupPC/Storage/Text.pm
to lib/BackupPC/Lib.pm (after the merge of the config files). This
fixes a bug that caused $Conf{IncrLevels} to get over-ridden if it
was only defined in the main config file. Reported by John Rouillard.
* Fixed the completion status message in BackupPC_dump so that missing
error counts appear as 0, rather than empty. Reported by Bill.
* Changed lib/BackupPC/Xfer/RsyncFileIO.pm to only increment the error
count when the md4 checksum fails on the second phase, not the first.
Reported by Adrian Bridgett.
* Updated a comment in config.pl about BackupPC_nightly, reported by
Dan Pritts.
* Modified lib/BackupPC/CGI/Restore.pm to ensure that the list of hosts
presented for direct restore do have direct restore enabled. Reported
by Stephen Joyce.
* Modified lib/BackupPC/CGI/RestoreFile.pm to replace \n with \r\n in
the restore http response headers. Patch submitted by Thomas Eckhardt.
#------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Version 3.1.0beta1, 21 Oct 2007
#------------------------------------------------------------------------
* When there is an existing partial, a new partials is only saved
if it has more files than the existing partial. Requested by
Carl Soderstrom.
* Fixed handling of $Conf{BackupFilesExclude} for tar XferMethod.
Patch supplied by Frans Pop.
* Fixed numeric column sorting in host summary table, reported by
Michael Pellegrino.
* Fixed host CGI editor so it creates the new host's config.pl file
using the lower-case host name, since host names are mapped to
lower case when they are read from the hosts file. Reported by
Alexander Onic.
* Applied documentation patches from Frans Pop. Also updated
Pod::Html to improve documentation formatting.
* Added Polish translation from Semper.
* Fixed BackupPC_nightly reporting of repeated pool file hashes.
* Add run-time check that IO::Dirent is functioning correctly,
reported by Doug Lytle.
* Added comment to Cmd settings in conf/config.pl that they are
not executed by a shell, as suggested by Erik van Linstee.
* Added undefIfEmpty => 1 to lib/BackupPC/Config/Meta.pm for
RsyncRestoreArgs, TarClientRestoreCmd and SmbClientRestoreCmd
so that restores can be disabled by clear these fields in the
CGI editor. Patch supplied by Stephen Joyce
* Replaced the FAQ link with Wiki in the navigation bar and added
mention of the Wiki to the documentation. Since these navigation
bar links are specified in the config file, upgrades will keep
the old FAQ link. The FAQ opening page will have a prominent
link to the Wiki.
#------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Version 3.1.0beta0, 3 Sep 2007
#------------------------------------------------------------------------
* Added new script BackupPC_archiveStart that allows command-line
starting of archives. Based on script written by Sergey Kovzik,
which in turn was based on an earlier version by Holger Parplies.
* Added Simplified Chinese CGI translation from Youlin Feng,
plus fixed a couple of cases where utf8 share names were
not displayed correctly.
* Added sorting by column feature to host summary table in CGI
interface. Implemented by Jeremy Tietsort.
* Added optional support for IO::Dirent which allows inode information
to be extracted from the dirent directory structure. This allows
BackupPC to order some directory operations by inode, which on
some file systems (eg: ext3) can results in a 20-30% performance
gain. On other file systems there is no real improvement. This
optimization is turned on automatically if IO::Dirent is installed.
* Added some performance improvements to BackupPC::Xfer::RsyncFileIO
for the case of small files with cached checksums.
* Added check to BackupPC at startup that $TopDir can support
hardlinks. Also added check to BackupPC_dump that a hardlink
below $TopDir/pc/HOST can be made to below $TopDir/cpool.
Also added the need for a hard-link capable file system to
the documentation. Suggested by Nils Breunese.
* Added FreeBSD init.d file provided by Gabriel Rossetti.
* Added -l and -L options to BackupPC_tarCreate so that
provide a file list (without creating the archive).
Requested by Dirk.
* Made the default charset for BackupPC_zipCreate cp1252, which
appears to work correctly with WinZip. Unfortunately there is
no clear standard for charset encoding in zip files.
* Added support so that pre-3.0 backups with non-utf8 charsets
can be viewed and restored correctly. A new config variable
$Conf{ClientCharsetLegacy} specifies the charset used to
encode file names in legacy backups. This is only relevant
if you are trying to view or restore a backup made with
BackupPC 2.x and some of the file names have non-ascii
characters.
* Added setting of the environment variable BPC_REQUSER to
the requesting user name in BackupPC prior to fork(), so
each child process inherits the value. Submitted by
Holger Parplies.
* Fixed bug in rsync incrementals that happens on particular
file names when a file being backed up fails in both rsync
phases. Reported by Dan Smisko.
* Fixed single-restore file name charsets for IE, reported by
Francis Lessard.
* Fixed makeDist so that the --config-dir option to configure.pl
works correctly. Reported by Randy Barlow, Tony Shadwick and others.
* Removed ConfDir from config editor (since it is hardcoded in
lib/BackupPC/Lib.pm). Also made TopDir and LogDir only visible
if useFHS (for non-FHS they are hardcoded in lib/BackupPC/Lib.pm).
* Applied patch from Holger Parplies that fixes cleanup of early abort
in BackupPC_dump.
* Applied small patch from Sergey to lib/BackupPC/Xfer/Tar.pm that makes
it ignore "socket ignored" error on incrementals.
* Applied small patch from Sergey to bin/BackupPC_archiveHost.
* Changed BackupPC_sendEmail so that summary admin email doesn't
include errors from hosts that have $Conf{BackupsDisable} set.
Reported by James Kyle. Also, per-user email is now disabled
when $Conf{BackupsDisable} is set.
* Added RsyncdUserName to the config editor. Reported by Vicent Roca Daniel.
* $Conf{IncrLevels} is now defaulted if it is not defined.
* configure.pl clears $Conf{ParPath} if it doesn't point to a valid
executable.
* Added documentation for BackupPC_tarPCCopy, including use of -P option
to tar suggested by Daniel Berteaud.
* Config editor now removes white space at start of exec path.
Reported by Christoph Iwasjuta.
* CgiDateFormatMMDD == 2 gives a YYYY-MM-DD format for CGI dates,
suggested by Imre.
#------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Version 3.0.0, 28 Jan 2007
#------------------------------------------------------------------------
* BackupPC_sendEmail now correctly sends admin email if backups
were skipped because the disk was too full, reported by Dan
Pritts.
* BackupPC_Admin now uses $Conf{UmaskMode}, so config.pl files
written by the editor have more restrictive permissions.
Reported by Tim Massey.
* Host summary now shows active backups on disabled hosts,
from Jono Woodhouse.
* Fixed host LOG link and LOG list order, reported by Tim Massey.
* Moved Encode.pm version check to start of configure.pl so it
produces a useful error message if Encode.pm is too old.
* Fixed hrefs to configuration documentation to handle changes
in the way perl generates the anchors. Reported by Philip
Gleghorn.
* Host name links in LOG files now allow "." in the host name.
Reported by Jean-Michel Beuken.
* Fixes to lib/BackupPC/Xfer/Tar.pm for tar 1.16: allow 1
(ie: 256) as a successful exit status and match "Total
bytes read" message for restores. First reported by
Torsten Sadowski and debugged by Ralf Gross and Holger
Parplies.
#------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Version 3.0.0beta3, 3 Dec 2006
#------------------------------------------------------------------------
* Removed default paths from conf/config.pl so configure.pl will
determine the correct ones at install time. Avoids problem of
the config editor complaining about bad executable paths the
first time you use it.
* Changed first byte of compressed files with rsync checksums appended
to 0xd7 to allow correct protocol_version >= 27 md4 checksums to be
written. Old cached checksum files have a first byte 0xd6 and are
now considered to be uncached. They will be automatically updated
as needed. This avoids the cached checksum warnings in beta2.
* BackupPC_tarPCCopy now handles all file types correctly. Reported
by George Avrunin.
* Fixed BackupPC_nightly to finish pending deletes before renaming
pool chains.
* Fixes for rsync restore where hardlink is to file outside of the
top-level restore directory. Reported by George Avrunin, who helped
with debugging.
* Fixes for checksum mismatch on restore for certain file sizes.
Reported by George Avrunin and others.
* Fix for config.pl writing code to handle multi-line expressions.
Reported by David Relson and others.
* Fix for CGI editor when deleting hash entries whose keys are
non alphanumeric. Report by David Relson and Aaron Ciarlotta.
* Two fixes to configure.pl from Andreas Vgele.
#------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Version 3.0.0beta2, 18 Nov 2006
#------------------------------------------------------------------------
* Fix for final md4 digest check on rsync transfers >= 512MB when protocol
version >= 27 and checksums are not cached. Reported by Garith Dugmore
and Dale Renton.
* Config Editor "Save" button is now always visible, but greyed out
until there are changes to save.
* Config editor allows other tabs to be selected when there is an
error, which allows you to fix an error (eg: missing binary) in
an exiting config file. Errors are now displayed at the top of
the page in addition to next to the erroneous setting.
* configure.pl checks version of Encode.pm. Reported by Chris Stone.
* Several fixes to bin/BackupPC_fixupBackupSummary from Stian Jordet.
* Fixed config.pl editor writing to solve bug with multi-line text
strings ending in newline. Reported and root caused by Les Stott
and Jerry Groendyke.
* Fixed error recovery case in BackupPC::PoolWrite, reported by
Samuel Bancal.
* Fixed table width in backup browsing to avoid Firefox layout anomoly,
provided by Jono Woodhouse.
* CSS file updates from Jono Woodhouse. Prior (v2) version is included
as BackupPC_stnd_orig.css in case people prefer the old skin.
* More compact host summary, including disabled host indication,
from Jono Woodhouse.
* New directory/file/hardlink and symlink image icons from Sean Cameron
and Jono Woodhouse, making directory browse more compact.
* BackupPC.pid is now world readable, suggested by Casper Thomsen.
* Reordered the Server navigation bar links, suggested by David Relson.
* Fixed typos in init.d/src/gentoo-backuppc, configure.pl and config.pl
reported by David Relson.
#------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Version 3.0.0beta1, 30 Jul 2006
#------------------------------------------------------------------------
* Fixed several Xfer charset conversions.
* Added some CGI utf8 conversions from Rodrigo Real and Vincent
Fleuranceau.
* Rsync transfers now correctly handle file names with \n or \r.
* Host name is forced to lower case, to match 2.x.
* Fixed LOG file naming in BackupPC_restore and BackupPC_archive.
* GFK applied fr.pm corrections from Nicolas Stransky.
* Updated init.d/src scripts for FHS (ie: replaced __TOPDIR__/log
with __LOGDIR__ and __TOPDIR__/conf with __CONFDIR__). Patch
provided by Rodrigo Real.
* Added --log-dir and --conf-dir options to configure.pl.
Reported by Vincent Fleuranceau.
* Updated File::RsyncP version check in configure.pl, reported
by Vincent Fleuranceau. Changed File::RsyncP version to 0.64.
#------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Version 3.0.0beta0, 11 Jul 2006
#------------------------------------------------------------------------
* Added configuration and host CGI editor.
* Added rsync hardlink support. Requires latest version of
File::RsyncP (0.62).
* Decoupled BackupPC_dump from BackupPC_nightly by making
asynchronous file linking/delete robust to race conditions.
Now only BackupPC_nightly and BackupPC_link are mutually
exclusive so only one runs at a time, and BackupPC_dump and
BackupPC_restore can run anytime.
* Added support for multi-level incrementals. In the style of dump(1),
the level of each incremental can be specified. Each incremental
backups up everything since the most recent backup of a lower level
(fulls are always level 0). Previous behavior was all incrementals
were level 1, meaning they backed up everything since the last full
(level 0). Default configuration is all incrementals are level 1.
* Server file names are now in utf8 and optional conversion
to/from client name charsets can be configured. All CGI pages
now use the utf8 charset.
* Backup metadata is now additionally saved to pc/HOST/nnn/backupInfo,
in addition to pc/HOST/backups. In case pc/HOST/backups gets trashed,
then a new script BackupPC_fixupBackupSummary can read the per-backup
metadata from pc/HOST/nnn/backupInfo and reconstruct the backups file.
Roberto Moreno also pointed out an early error in the CVS version.
* Added Storage module and Storage::Text which localizes all the
text data file reading/writing (eg: backups, restores, archives
and config.pl files). Added read verify after all write
operations for robustness. Additional backends (eg: SQL)
can be added in the future as new subclasses of the Storage
module.
* Added Config module, and Config::Meta that contains meta data
about configuration parameters.
* Added RSS support from Rich Duzenbury.
* Translations of new 3.0 language strings from Guillaume Filion,
Reginaldo Ferreira, Ralph Passgang, Lieven Bridts, Guus Houtzager,
Rodrigo Real.
* Added optional checking of exit status of Dump/Restore/Archive Pre/Post
UserCmd, requested by Kiko Jover, Matthias Bertschy and others.
* For new installations configure.pl tries to comply with the file
system hierarchy standard, which means all the configuration files
below /etc/BackupPC and log files go below /var/log/BackupPC.
* Added Slackware init.d script from Tony Nelson.
* Fixed error reporting when restore/archive fail to write the
request file to the client directory.
* Applied patch from Marc Prewitt for DumpPreShareCmd and DumpPostShareCmd.
* Apply patch from Pete Wenzel to add smbClientPath => $Conf{SmbClientPath}
to DumpPreUserCmd etc.
* Added Portuguese Brazillian pt_br.pm from Reginaldo Ferreira.
* Jean-Michel Beuken reported several bugs in configure.pl in CVS 3.0.0.
* Old backup email warnings now ignore partials requested by Samuel Bancal
* Applied patch to bin/BackupPC_sendEmail from Marc Prewitt that
ignores any file starting with "." in the pc directory when
it is generating warnings about old/unused files/directories.
* Applied patch from Marc Prewitt to fix host queue order.
* Applied Lorenzo Cappelletti's it.pm patch.
* Applied Wander Winkelhorst's nl.pm patch.
* Applied Alberto Marconi's it.pm patch.
* Add NT_STATUS_FILE_LOCK_CONFLICT to pst read error check in
BackupPC_sendEmail to fix bug reported by Dale Renton.
* Added fixup of $ENV{REMOTE_USER} to lib/BackupPC/CGI/Lib.pm in the
case of using mod_authz_ldap; patch submitted by Alain Perrier.
* Added env LC_ALL=C to $Conf{TarClientCmd} and $Conf{TarClientRestoreCmd}
to avoid locale problems, suggested by Ludovic Drolez.
* Changed ping output parsing to pick out average rtt time, based
on patch from Ron Bickers.
* Removed leading "./" and top-level "./" directory from
zip archives generated by BackupPC_zipCreate. Reported
by Josh (hecktarzuli).
* BackupPC_tarCreate and BackupPC_zipCreate now allow "@"
in share names. Reported by Robert Waldner.
* NT_STATUS_INSUFF_SERVER_RESOURCES is now a fatal error for
smbclient transfers, suggested by Brian Shand.
* Changed bin/BackupPC_archiveHost to use /bin/csh instead of
/bin/sh. That way any errors in the pipeline are reported
via the exit status, instead of just the last.
* Added $Conf{EMailHeaders} for additional email headers, requested
by Ludovic Gasc. If the Content-Type charset is set to utf8 then
the body of the email is sent in utf8 coding.
* Made shareName argument regexp checking more general to allow parens.
* Added some debian init.d instructions to init.d/README from
Bob de Wildt.
* Documentation updates from Richard Ames, JP Vossen, Torsten Finke.
#------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Version 2.1.2pl2, 18 Jun 2006
#------------------------------------------------------------------------
* In conf/config.pl, changed --devices to -D in $Conf{RsyncArgs}
and $Conf{RsyncRestoreArgs} to fix "fileListReceive failed" and
"Can't open .../f%2f for empty output" errors with rsync 2.6.7+.
Fix proposed by Justin Pessa and Vincent Ho, and confirmed by
Dan Niles.
* Added patch from Michael (mna.news) to ignore "file is unchanged"
message from tar 1.15.x during incremental backups.
* Fixed creation of .rsrc directories in bin/BackupPC_tarExtract
when used with xtar on MacOS. Reported by Samuel Bancal and
Matthew Radey, who helped with debugging.
* Fixed bug in BackupPC_tarExtract for files >8GB in size whose
lengths are multiples of 256. Reported by Jamie Myers and
Marko Tukiainen, who both helped debugging the problem.
* Fixed bug in lib/BackupPC/Xfer/RsyncFileIO.pm that caused
incorrectly deleted attributes to be set in directories
where one of the files had an rsync phase 1 retry during
an incremental. Reported by Tony Nelson.
#------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Version 2.1.2, 5 Sep 2005
#------------------------------------------------------------------------
* Fixed simple but serious bug in bin/BackupPC_tarCreate that prevented
hardlinks being saved correctly. Debugged by Michael (mna.news)
with several other people.
* Fixed serious bug in bin/BackupPC_dump reported/debugged by Dan Niles
that can happen when multiple full backups are deleted after
$Conf{FullKeepCnt} is changed.
* Changed lib/BackupPC/CGI/Lib.pm so that link to "$TopDir/conf/$host.pl"
is displayed if it exists. Patch from Andreas Vgele.
* Applied daemonize patch to bin/BackupPC from:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=301057
* It's now a fatal error if $Conf{CompressLevel} is set, but
Compress::Zlib is not found. Before $Conf{CompressLevel} was
silently set to 0, which made all the backups uncompressed.
That meant the user never knew if they forget to install
Compress::Zlib but were expecting compression to be on.
* Finally increased $Conf{ClientTimeout} to 72000 (20 hours).
* Added sleep 1 in restart() function in init.d/src/gentoo-backuppc,
suggested by Jon Hood.
* Added $DestDir to the path of the CGI image directory in configure.pl.
Patch submitted by Andreas Vgele.
* Applied extensive patch to French translation from Frederic Lehobey.
* Minor change to Dutch language $Lang{Pool_Stat} from Wander Winkelhorst.
* Minor change to French language $Lang{EMailOutlookBackupMesg} and
$Lang{EMailOutlookBackupSubj} from Ludovic Gasc.
#------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Version 2.1.1, 13 Mar 2005
#------------------------------------------------------------------------
* Fixed bug in top-level restore using rsync XferMethod.
BackupPC::View was leaving an extra leading "/" at the start
of top-level directories, messing up the FileList sort order.
Reported and debugged by Gail Edwards.
* Added pathCreate() to BackupPC_tarExtract so that new directories
are created. Required for xtar on MacOSX since the virtual resource
fork directories (.rsrc) are not explicitly included in the tar
archive - just the files below .rsrc are.
* Changed $host.$bkupNum.tar$fileExt.* to $host.$bkupNum.tar$fileExt*
in $parCmd in bin/BackupPC_archiveHost.
* Fixed HostSortCompare() in BackupPC to correctly sort hosts so
those with the oldest backups get queued first.
* Changed test in BackupPC_sendEmail so that directories/files
starting with "." in $TopDir/pc are ignored, rather than
just "." and "..".
* Changed BackupPC_sendEmail to include NT_STATUS_FILE_LOCK_CONFLICT
in check for bad outlook files.
* Ensure that %Status and %StatusHost are empty if requesting
status on hosts in lib/BackupPC/CGI/Lib.pm GetStatusInfo().
Fixes problem with new hosts under mod_perl.
* Added images/icon-hardlink.gif so that hardlinks show file type icon.
#------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Version 2.1.0pl1, 15 Aug 2004
#------------------------------------------------------------------------
* Added fix to nl.pm from Lieven Bridts.
* Added patch from Tony Nelson to remove $Info{pid} before BackupPC
writes the status and shuts down.
* Changed BackupPC_nightly so that it doesn't call find() if the
directory doesn't exist. This avoids errors in certain versions
of perl. Reported by Bernd Rilling.
* Fixed BackupPC::CGI::Lib to correctly re-load config.pl for mod_perl.
Reported by Tony Nelson and Jimmy Liang.
* Explicitly untaint $In{host} in BackupPC::CGI::Lib to fix problem
reported by Thomas Temp.
* Added newline to "...skipping because of user requested delay..."
log message in BackupPC_dump. Reported by Wayne Scott.
* Added read file size error checking to BackupPC_tarCreate.
Reported by Brandon Evans.
* Added check in BackupPC::Xfer::RsyncFileIO to ensure that when
compression is toggled on/off, a compressed backup doesn't link
to an uncompressed pool file (and an uncompressed backup doesn't
link to a compressed pool file). Reported by Brandon Evans.
* Updated documentation with new dirvish URL and a typo from
Todd Curry.
* Fix to BackupPC_sendEmail so that it correctly sends admin emails
for hosts that have failed backups. Reported by Simon Kuhn.
#------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Version 2.1.0, 20 Jun 2004
#------------------------------------------------------------------------
* Added Dutch translation from Lieven Bridts, with tweaks from
Guus Houtzager.
* Added PC-specific config file read in CGI/Archive.pm. Patch
from Pete Wenzel.
* Added non-zero exit code to BackupPC_zcat when uncompress fails.
Patch from Pete Wenzel.
* Cosmetic changes to PC Summary and Log file language strings from
Pete Wenzel.
* BackupPC::Lib tries to be more careful when renaming the backups
file to backups.old. There have been reports of backups being
empty, perhaps when the BackupPC data file system fills up.
Now backups is not renamed to backups.old if backups is empty.
* BackupPC now closes stderr and stdout before renaming and
re-opening the log file.
* Pre/post backup/restore/archive commands now correctly set
"type" to either incr/full/restore/archive, and now cmdType
is the type of Pre/post backup/restore/archive command.
* BackupPC_archive correctly terminates archive processes on
alarm or cancel.
* Updates to BackupPC_stnd.css with absolute font sizes instead
of relative.
* BackupPC_dump now makes sure that the $Conf{FullAgeMax} check
also ensures the full backup is older than the maximum age
expected from $Conf{FullPeriod}.
#------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Version 2.1.0beta2pl1, 30 May 2004
#------------------------------------------------------------------------
* Fixed bug in rsync checksum caching code in BackupPC::Xfer::RsyncDigest.
* BackupPC_zipCreate now ensures the earliest mtime is 1/1/1980,
since zip file formats don't support earlier dates. Reported
by Dan Niles.
* CGI restore via zip and tar now makes sure stderr is ignored
when BackupPC_tarCreate and BackupPC_zipCreate are run.
Previously any stderr output would get mixed in the archive,
corrupting it. Reported by Dan Niles.
#------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Version 2.1.0beta2, 23 May 2004
#------------------------------------------------------------------------
* $Conf{BackupFilesOnly} and $Conf{BackupFilesExclude} now apply
to every share, rather than just the first, in the case where
they are arrays and there are multiple shares. Suggested
by Andy Evans.
* On the phase 2 retry pass with rsync, verify the cached checksums
if checksum caching is turned on. This will catch the case of
cached checksums being incorrectly appended to the compressed
pool file. Added new config parameter $Conf{RsyncCsumCacheVerifyProb}
so that cached checksums are verified with a selectable probability.
Also, increased File::RsyncP version number to 0.51.
* configure.pl now supports an optional batch mode. Command-line
options are used to specify all the information that configure.pl
needs. This is useful for building auto-install packages.
Also, configure.pl now includes pod documentation, so you can do
"perldoc configure.pl" to see all the command-line options.
Suggested, tested and tweaked by Stuart Herbert for possible
Gentoo inclusion.
* At each wakeup, clients are now queued based on how old the most
recent backup is. Clients with errors are queued first, with
the oldest error times going first. The rest of the clients are
queued next, with the clients with the oldest backup going first.
Previously the clients were simply queued in alphabetic order.
Suggested by Mike Trisko and Tony Nelson.
* Added config parameter $Conf{PartialAgeMax} that controls whether
partials are saved at all, and if so, whether the partial will be
ignored at the next full backup if it is too old.
* BackupPC_tarExtract now allows empty archives without reporting
an error. Reported by Don Silvia.
* Removed Browse Backups link from Nav Bar in Archive Info display.
Reported by Ralph Pagang.
* Fixed documentation display for regular users. Reported by Ralph Pagang.
* Status and PC Summary now work for regular users and only show
that user's hosts. Server general status information only appears
for admins. Suggested by Ralph Pagang.
* Moved the last three navigation-bar links (docs, FAQ and SF) to
a new config parameter $Conf{CgiNavBarLinks}. This allows
these links to be locally configured. Based on a patch
submitted by Ralph Pagang.
* Allow the navigation bar search box to be disabled by
setting $Conf{CgiSearchBoxEnable} to 0. Based on a patch
submitted by Ralph Pagang.
* Updates to de.pm from Ralph Pagang.
* Made the BackupPC icon a link to the SF BackupPC project page.
#------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Version 2.1.0beta1, 4 Apr 2004
#------------------------------------------------------------------------
* The CSS definition has been removed from the config.pl file and
is now a separate file, BackupPC_stnd.css. A new config variable,
$Conf{CgiCSSFile}, gives the name of the CSS file to use.
Suggested by Ender Mathias.
* Fixed the filling of the host name select box for admins.
The default $Conf{CgiNavBarAdminAllHosts} is now 1.
Reported by Doug Lytle.
* Cleaned up warning message for restore using rsync when checksum
caching is on, but when file didn't have cached checksums.
* Fixed BackupPC_archiveHost to support par2 (par2cmdline).
Patch submitted by Jaco Bongers and adapted by Josh Marshall.
* Improved stat() usage in BackupPC_nightly, plus some other cleanup,
giving a significant performance improvement. Patch submitted by
Wayne Scott.
* Allow several BackupPC_nightly processes to run in parallel based
on new $Conf{BackupPCNightlyJobs} setting. This speeds up the
traversal of the pool, reducing the overall run time for
BackupPC_nightly.
* Allow BackupPC_nightly to split the pool traversal across several
nightly runs. This improves the running time per night, at the expense
of a slight increase in disk storage as unused pool files might not
be deleted for a couple of days. Controller by new config setting
$Conf{BackupPCNightlyPeriod}.
#------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Version 2.1.0beta0, 20 Mar 2004
#------------------------------------------------------------------------
* A failed full dump is now saved as a partial (incomplete) dump,
provided it includes some files. This can be used for browsing,
restoring etc, and will also form the basis of resuming full
dumps. Only one partial is kept, and it is removed as soon
as a successful full (or a new partial) is done.
* Added support for resuming a full dump for rsync. The partial
full is kept, and to resume an incremental is done against the
partial, and a full is done for the rest.
* Added support for Rsync checksum caching. Rsync checksum are
appended to the compressed pool files. This means that block
and file checksums do not need to be recomputed on the server
when using rsync. Requires a patch to rsync to support fixed
checksum seeds. This patch is included in the cygwin-rsyncd
release on http://backuppc.sourceforge.net.
* Major addition of Archive feature from Josh Marshall. Special
clients can be configured to be archive targets (eg: tape drives,
CD-R). Any subset of the backup clients can be selected and tar
archives are created, optionally compressed and split and written
to the output device. Logs are maintained and are browsable.
* Major changes from Ryan Kucera to add style sheets to the CGI
interface, allowing easy customization. Added new icons and
BackupPC logo. Numerous navigation improvements.
* Added directory history display to BackupPC_Admin, allowing the
user to quickly see which files changed between backups on a
per-directory basis.
* Added exponential expiry option for full dumps. This allows you
to specify
- how many fulls to keep at intervals of $Conf{FullPeriod}, followed by
- how many fulls to keep at intervals of 2 * $Conf{FullPeriod},
- how many fulls to keep at intervals of 4 * $Conf{FullPeriod},
- how many fulls to keep at intervals of 8 * $Conf{FullPeriod},
- how many fulls to keep at intervals of 16 * $Conf{FullPeriod},
and so on. This allows you, for example, to keep 4 weekly fulls,
followed by 6 fulls every 4 weeks (approx 1 month) and 2 fulls at
16 weeks, for roughly 1 year of history. This works by deleting
every other full as each expiry boundary is crossed. Suggested
by David Cramblett.
* Added Italian language translation it.pm from Lorenzo Cappelletti.
* Major updates to language files for new features and tags changes.
Updated makeDist to do pedantic consistency checking of language
files.
* Addition of administration options from Paul Lukins. Initial
page allows server to be started/stopped/reloaded. This still
needs some i18n work. Currently the server start/stop is
commented out.
* Split BackupPC_Admin into a set of modules, one for each major action.
Each action is now a seperate module in lib/BackupPC/CGI.
* Allow the blackout period begin/end to span midnight. Adapted
from patch submitted by David Smith.
* Allow multiple blackout periods, with new config variable
$Conf{BlackoutPeriods} that replaces the old variables
$Conf{BlackoutHourBegin}, $Conf{BlackoutHourEnd}, and
$Conf{BlackoutWeekDays}. Based on patch submitted by
Lorenzo Cappelletti.
* Disabled alarms after forks to avoid timeouts in children that
do not reset their alarm. Prompted by ideas from James Leu.
* Added options for block size, buffer size and share wild-card to
BackupPC_tarCreate. Also added negative backup number options
that are relative to the last (so -1 is the last), suggested by
William McKee and Carl Soderstrom.
* The "Wrong user" message in BackupPC::Lib now goes to stderr, so that
the user is more likely to see the error with BackupPC_tarCreate.
Reported by Paul Fox.
* Add creation of per-PC directory in BackupPC/CGI/Restore.pm in
case it doesn't already exist.
* Added -q -x to all ssh commands in conf/config.pl. Suggested by
SI Reasoning and Niranjan Ghate.
* Changed restore code so that option #1 (direct restore) can be
disabled if the restore command is undefined. Disabling direct
restore is necessary if the share is read-only. Suggested by
Rich B from SAIC.
* Changed regexp in lib/BackupPC/Smb.pm to allow numbers with both
a decimal point or comma for international versions of Samba.
Patch submitted by Frank Gard.
* Browsing and directory history now sort the files in a
case-insensitive manner.
* Changed exec() syntax to allow executing commands whose path
contains spaces.
* BackupPC_dump no longer removes backups if $Conf{FullKeepCnt}
is zero or undefined. The protects the existing backups in the
case of a bad config.pl file. Suggested by Christian Warden.
* Swapped the Server and Hosts sections on the Nav bar. Moved the
host search text box to the top of the hosts section. This was
done to move the variable-length part of the Nav bar (when all
hosts are displayed) to the bottom.
* Fixed a bug in tar restore related to how the common prefix path is
removed. Now ensure that the common path is at a directory boundary.
Reported by Patrick Neuner.
* Added --chuid ${USER} to init.d/src/gentoo-backuppc. Suggested by
SI Reasoning, Pascal Pochol, Michael Evanoff and others.
* Added Suse notes to init.d/README from Bruno Vernay.
* Added Apache 2 documentation fix from Michael Tuzi.
#------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Version 2.0.2, 6 Oct 2003
#------------------------------------------------------------------------
* Fixed stupid last-minute change in octal size conversion in
Backup_tarExtract.
#-----------------------------------------------------------------------
# Version 2.0.1, 5 Oct 2003
#------------------------------------------------------------------------
* Fixed handling of >= 8GB files in BackupPC_tarExtract and >= 4GB
files in BackupPC_tarCreate.
* Removed smbclient size repair in BackupPC_tarExtract for files
between 2GB and 4GB. This means that BackupPC_tarExtract 2.0.1
doesn't behave the same as 2.0.0 for file sizes between 2GB and 4GB
extacted using smbclient 2.2.x. If you have problems backing up
files whose size is between 2GB and 4GB using smbclient 2.2.x
you should upgrade smbclient to 3.0, since it now generates
correct file sizes.
* Replace PingClientPath with PingPath in configure.pl.
* Removed -T (taint mode) on binaries installed in configure.pl.
* Added support for smbclient from samba version 3.0.0.
* Fixed $Conf{HardLinkMax} limit check in BackupPC::Lib; reported
by Ross Skaliotis.
* In BackupPC_Admin, default REMOTE_USER to $Conf{BackupPCUser}
if it is not defined. This allows the CGI interface to work
when AdminUsers = '*'. Reported by Quentin Arce.
* For SMB, code that detected files with a read-locked region (eg:
outlook .pst files), removed them and then tried to link with an
earlier version was broken. This code missed a step of mangling
the file names. This is now fixed. Reported by Pierre Bourgin.
* A backup of a share that has zero files is now considered
fatal. This is used to catch miscellaneous Xfer errors that
result in no files being backed up. A new config parameter
$Conf{BackupZeroFilesIsFatal} (defaults to 1) and can be set to
zero to turn off this check. Suggested by Guillaume Filion.
Additional change: this check only applies to a full dump.
* SMB: now detect NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED on entire share or BackupFilesOnly
(also ERRDOS - ERRnoaccess (Access denied.) for older versions of
smbclient.) Suggested by Guillaume Filion.
* SMB: now detects "tree connect failed: NT_STATUS_BAD_NETWORK_NAME" and
the dump is considered failed.
* Rsync: Previously BackupFilesOnly = '/' did --include '/' --exclude '/*',
which just included the '/' directory and nothing below. Now it
does just --include '/', which should include everything.
Reported by denon.
* Add hostError to DumpPostUserCmd variable substitutions for both dump
and restore.
* Verbose output in Lib.pm goes to STDERR, not STDOUT. This now
makes BackupPC_dump -v work better.
* Don't allow browsing with ".." in directory in case a user tries
to trick BackupPC_Admin into displaying directories outside where
they are allowed.
* Required File::RsyncP version is now 0.44, since File::RsyncP 0.44
fixes large file (>2GB) bugs. Large file bugs reported by Steve
Waltner.
#------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Version 2.0.0, 14 Jun 2003
#------------------------------------------------------------------------
* Minor tweaks to disable utf8 on utf8-capable machines (eg: RH8+).
Added "no utf8" to all programs, and added binmode() to relevant
file handles.
#------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Version 2.0.0beta3, 1 Jun 2003
#------------------------------------------------------------------------
* Several improvements to restore: cancel now reports the correct
message and cleans up correctly.
* Rsync with whitespace and wildcard excludes fixed by replacing
argList with argList+ in config.pl plus a fix to Lib.pm for
shell escaping array arguments.
* Fixed rsync restore for character and block special devices
(major and minor device numbers weren't correctly restored).
* Fixed typo in bin/BackupPC_restore (XferLOG -> RestoreLOG).
* (Re)-fixed "Bad command" in log file when restore via tar or zip
file download is done.
* Added untaint to exec in Lib.pm to avoid tainted errors.
* Applied additional tweak to hilight patch from Tim Demarest.
* $Conf{CgiAdminUsers} = '*' now allows privileged even with REMOTE_USER
not set.
* Don't display RsyncdPasswd when displaying config.pl files.
* Replace pipe with socketpair in bin/BackupPC_dump and bin/BackupPC_restore,
which increases typical buffering from 4K to 16K-64K. This improves the
performance.
* Add check on $ENV{LANG} setting do configure.pl: if LANG includes utf
then a warning is printed.
#------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Version 2.0.0beta2, 11 May 2003
#------------------------------------------------------------------------
* Added German translation, provided by Manfred Herrmann.
* Fixed large-file problem with rsync, reported by Manfred Herrmann.
* Fixed zip and tar file download from CGI under mod_perl. Reported
by Pierre Bourgin and Paul Lukins.
* Fixed directory browsing and top-level directory browsing in 2.0.0beta0.
Reported by several users.
* Added -v option to BackupPC_dump for verbose output (useful when
you run the command manually). Added messages for all exits.
* If nmblookup returns multiple IP addresses, NetBiosHostIPFind()
now returns the first IP address that matches the subnet mask.
Suggested by Tim Demarest.
* Fixed BackupPC::View so the top-level directory is handled correctly.
This allows the top-level share/directory to be restored via the
CGI interface. Reported by several users.
* Fixed RsyncFileIO failures on certain large files by replacing seek()
with sysseek(). Reported by Manfred Herrmann.
* Added configurable highlighting of PC status in the CGI summary
screen; submitted by Tim Demarest.
* Fixed command queue CGI display; submitted by Tim Demarest.
* BackupPC_trashClean now logs an error if it can't remove all the
trash and then goes back to sleep, rather than continually trying.
* Moved correct user (uid) check into BackupPC::Lib so that all
applications do a user check if $Cong{BackupPCUserVerify} is
set. The avoids the risk of manually running BackupPC_dump as
the wrong user.
* Loss of blackout now applies to "host not found" as well as no ping.
Reported by Dale Renton.
* "Host not found" is now treated in a similar manner to "no ping".
* Added suse-linux init.d script from Leon Letto.
* Added Gentoo linux init.d script from Tim Demarest.
* Applied additional i18n strings from GFK and the translation team.
* Fixed option parsing so that getopts errors are reported and we exit.
* Changed reporting of Xfer PIDs so that rsync cancel works correctly.
#------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Version 2.0.0beta1, 30 Mar 2003
#------------------------------------------------------------------------
* Added Spanish translation es.pm from Javier Gonzalez.
* Fixed CGI browse navigation bug that causes BackupPC_Admin to wedge
when directories were selected in a certain order.
* Fixed BackupPC::PoolWrite so that it can recover when the initial
file size is wrong. This is needed since rsync could write a file
whose size is different from the initial size returned in the
file list when that file is updated while rsync is running.
* Added binmode(STDIN) to BackupPC_tarExtract, suggested by Pat LoPresti
to fix a problem a RedHat8 with perl 5.8.0. It's unclear why this
helps, but it should be benign. See:
http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_id=1853018&forum_id=503
#------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Version 2.0.0beta0, 23 Feb 2003
#------------------------------------------------------------------------
* Support for rsync and rsyncd backup and restore. Changes to
BackupPC_dump, BackupPC_restore, and new modules BackupPC::Xfer::Rsync
and BackupPC::Xfer::RsyncFileIO.
* Added internationalization (i18n) code from Xavier Nicollet,
with additions from Guillaume Filion. Voila! BackupPC_Admin
now supports English and French, and adding more languages is
now easy. New config paramater $Conf{Language} sets the language.
* Added optional user-defined pre/post dump/restore commands, allowing
things like database shutdown/startup for dumps.
* Changed the way hosts are found.
* Added $Conf{ClientNameAlias}, which allows the name of the physical
client machine to be set. This allows several different backup
"hosts" to all refer to the same physical machine, which is
convenient if several different types of data need to be backed
up, or if different parameters are needed for different parts of
the host.
* Replaced $Conf{PingArgs} with $Conf{PingCmd}, added $Conf{DfCmd},
$Conf{NmbLookupCmd} allowing all these commands to be fully
configured. Also, all commands can also now be fragments of
perl code.
* Moved all smbclient commands into the config.pl file so the specific
arguments can be customized. New config parameters are
$Conf{SmbClientFullCmd}, $Conf{SmbClientIncrCmd} and
$Conf{SmbClientRestoreCmd}.
* Added new BackupPC::View module that creates views of backups
(handling merging etc). Updated BackupPC_Admin, BackupPC_zipCreate
and BackupPC_tarCreate to use BackupPC::View. This removes lots
of merging and mangling code from the higher-level code.
* Added code from Toby Johnson that allows additional users to be
specified in the hosts file; these users can also view/start/stop
and restore backups for that host. Also added a new config
setting $Conf{CgiNavBarAdminAllHosts} that allows all hosts to
be listed in the left nav bar for admins.
* Added $Conf{HardLinkMax} (default 31999) which sets the limit on
the maximum number of hardlinks per file in the pool. If a file
ever gets to this number of links a new pool file is created to
handle additional links.
* Added $Conf{PerlModuleLoad}, which allows optional additional perl
modules to be loaded.
* Added $Conf{EMailUserDestDomain} and other EMail config settings to
allow language-specific default messages to be overridden.
* Added BPC_FTYPE_DELETED to lib/BackupPC/Attrib.pm, allowing deleted
files to be represented in the attrib file correctly.
* Added support for environment variable BPC_SMB_PASSWD, which is the
client's smb password. This overrides the old environment variable
PASSWD.
* Added taint cleanup for perl5.8 to lib/BackupPC/Lib.pm.
* Changed $tar_unpack_header format in BackupPC_tarExtract to correctly
handle files with trailing spaces.
* Added catching of SIG_PIPE to BackupPC_dump, and changed catch_signal
to ignore multiple signals of the same type.
* Added reporting of the largest number of hardlinks in the pool to the
log file.
* Adding reporting of syntax errors in the per-PC config.pl file.
* Updated BackupPC_sendEmail to handle language-specific email messages.
* Allow client (host) names to contain spaces. Spaces in host names
need to be escaped via "\" in the hosts file. The user of spaces in
host names is discouraged, but they should work. One feature that
doesn't work with host names that contain spaces is the highlighting
of that name in the log file display in the CGI interface. There are
no plans to fix this.
* Renamed $Conf{SmbClientTimeout} to $Conf{ClientTimeout}.
* Fixed all open() calls to use 3 argument form to fix handling of file
names with trailing whitespace. Also fixed CGI interface so these
file names are displayed correctly.
* Fixed new 2.0.0 CGI navigation bug that causes the top-level directory
to have a URL "&share=//boot&dir=" instead of "&share=/boot&dir=/".
Reported by Pascal Schelcher. Fixed similar problem reported by
Doug Lytle.
* Added "PerlTaintCheck On" to the mod_perl section in the docs,
suggested by Tim Demarest.
#------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Version 1.5.0, 2 Aug 2002
#------------------------------------------------------------------------
* Changed conf/config.pl so that $Conf{TarIncrArgs} uses the --newer
option instead of --newer-mtime. Also removed --atime-preserve from
$Conf{TarClientCmd}. This makes the default settings work better
with tripwire.
* Fixed configure.pl so it correctly detects a running BackupPC <= v1.4.0
so it can correctly warn the user to stop it before upgrading. Reported
by David Holland.
* Added missing ";" to entity escape in EscapeHTML in BackupPC_Admin.
Reported by Guillaume Filion.
* Added LDAP setup to documentation from David Holland.
* Tar.pm now adds a "." to file paths that start with "/", so that all
tar paths are relative. From Ludovic Drolez.
#------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Version 1.5.0beta0, 30 Jun 2002
#------------------------------------------------------------------------
* A full set of restore options is now supported, including direct
restore via smbclient or tar or downloading a zip or tar file.
* Major additions to CGI script to support better directory navigation,
restore features and mod_perl. Also, file downloads from the CGI
interface now correctly preserve the file name and provide the
correct Content-Type for the most common types of files. Improved
directory navigation was contributed by Ryan Kucera.
* New script BackupPC_zipCreate (contributed by Guillaume Filion) is the
zip analog of BackupPC_tarCreate. BackupPC_zipCreate can be used to
create a zip archive of any portion of a backup.
* Substantial additions to BackupPC_tarCreate to support restore,
including modifying path names, handling hardlinks, fixing
support of old backups without attributes (pre-v1.4.0). Plus
BackupPC_tarCreate is now an offical part of the release.
(Lack of support for hardlinks was reported by John Stanley.)
* BackupPC_tarExtract now supports hardlinks and fixed pooling of
attribute files.
* A unix domain socket is now used for communication between the CGI
interface and BackupPC. The original TCP socket is optional. Sockets
are correctly re-initialized if config.pl is updated with new socket
settings.
* For improved security messages over the unix or TCP socket are protected
via an MD5 digest based on a shared secret, a sequence number, a time
stamp and a unique per-connection number.
* Additions to configure.pl to support install of directory navigation
images.
* Fixed case where $Conf{BackupFilesOnly} or $Conf{BackupFilesExclude}
were set to a single string or list (in v1.4.0 only the case of
hash worked correctly). Reported by Phillip Bertolus.
* Fixed case of $Conf{BackoutGoodCnt} == 0. This setting now makes the
client always subject to blackout, matching the comments in config.pl.
Also fixed handling of $Conf{BackoutGoodCnt} < 0 in the CGI script
reported by Pascal Schelcher.
* Fixed byte and file totals for tar backups, reported by several users.
* Fixed --newer-mtime date/timestamp format to make it ISO 8601 compliant,
suggested by Erminio Baranzini.
* Fixed handling of $Conf{BackupFilesOnly} in BackupPC::Xfer::Tar.pm, as
well as shell escaping of tar arguments.
* Fixed entity encoding of 8-bit characters in the CGI interface.
* Added optional CGI headers in $Conf{CgiHeaders} that by default
is set to a no-cache pragma. Suggested by Benno Zuure.
#------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Version 1.4.0, 16 Mar 2002
#------------------------------------------------------------------------
* BackupPC now supports tar (in addition to smb) for extracting host
data. This is the most convenient option for linux/unix hosts.
Tar can be configured to run over ssh, rsh or to backup a local
nfs mount from the host.
* Support for special files, including symbolic links, fifo, character
and block device files has been added, so that all native linux/unix
file types can be correctly backed up when using tar transport.
Special files are all stored as regular files and the type attributes
are used to remember the original file type.
* All unix file attributes are now saved (and pooled when possible).
This includes user and group ownership, permissions, and modification
time. Smbclient also does a reasonable job of emulating unix
permissions (such as mtime), and these attributes get saved too.
* The new default is to not fill incremental dumps. configure.pl
automatically sets $Conf{IncrFill} to 0. The default was 1
(incrementals were filled with hardlinks). Since the CGI
script does filling at browsing time, there is no need to
fill incremental dumps.
* Backup file names are now stored in "mangled" form. Each node of a
path is preceded by "f", and special characters (\n, \r, % and /) are
URI-encoded as "%xx", where xx is the ascii character's hex value. So
c:/craig/example.txt is now stored as fc/fcraig/fexample.txt. This
was done mainly so meta-data could be stored alongside the backup
files without name collisions. In particular, the attributes for the
files in a directory are stored in a file called "attrib", and
mangling avoids file name collisions (I discarded the idea of having
a duplicate directory tree for every backup just to store the
attributes). Other meta-data (eg: rsync checksums) could be stored in
file names preceded by, eg, "c". There are two other benefits to
mangling: the share name might contain "/" (eg: "/home/craig" for tar
transport), and I wanted that represented as a single level in the
storage tree. Secondly, as files are written to NewFileList for later
processing by BackupPC_link, embedded newlines in the file's path
will cause problems which are avoided by mangling.
The CGI script undoes the mangling, so it is invisible to the user.
Of course, old (unmangled) backups are still supported by the CGI
interface.
* Various changes to the CGI interface, BackupPC_Admin:
+ Added button that allows users to manually start a full dump in
addition to the existing incremental dump.
+ Added display of file attributes when browsing backups.
+ Added an optional holdoff time specified by the user when canceling
a backup. BackupPC will not attempt any new backups for at least the
specified time. This holdoff time can be changed whether or not a
backup is running.
+ Added supports for file mangling, and correct merging of unfilled
backups from mangled or unmangled (and compressed or uncompressed)
fulls when browsing or restoring.
+ Only displays a "Start Incr Backup" button if there are already some
backups.
+ For DHCP hosts, when a user tries to manually start a backup, add
a check for the netbios name of both the host the request came
from (REMOTE_ADDR) and the last known DHCP address for that host
to see if either address matches the host. If not, an error
message is display. The previous behavior was that only requests
from the client itself succeeded, and requests from other machines
quietly failed.
* Changed the version numbering to X.Y.Z, instead of X.0Y. This release
is 1.4.0. The first digit is for major new releases, the middle digit
is for significant feature releases and improvements, and the last
digit is for bug fixes. You should think of the old 1.00, 1.01, 1.02
and 1.03 as 1.0.0, ..., 1.3.0.
* BackupPC and the CGI script BackupPC_Admin now check that the effective
user id is correct to avoid accidentally launching BackupPC as the
wrong user or detecting CGI configuration problems. This behavior
can be turned off using the $Conf{BackupPCUserVerify} option.
* In numerous places changed "Smb" to "Xfer" (eg: log file names) to
support generic names for both smb and tar transport methods. The
CGI script checks for old names for backward compatibility.
* Major changed to Backup_dump to support new tar transport. All transport
specific code moved into BackupPC::Xfer::Smb and BackupPC::Xfer::Tar
objects.
* Added workaround for a bug in Samba's smbclient for files between 2GB
and 4GB. The file size in the tar header is incorrect. This allows
files up to 4GB to work with smbclient, rather than 2GB. To support
files larger than 2GB you must make sure perl is compiled with the
uselargefiles option (use "perl -V | egrep largefiles" to check) and
the pool directory must be on a file system that supports large files.
* Moved the pool writing code into a module BackupPC::PoolWrite. This
allows the clever file pool checking (digest, uncompressing, comparing
etc with minimum disk IO) to be used easily in multiple places (eg: it
is now used for writing attribute files so they can be pooled).
* Changed MD5 to Digest::MD5 to avoid use of the depreceated MD5 module.
* Shortened default $Conf{MyPath} so that perl's taint mode is more likely
to be happy. The old $Conf{MyPath} contained /usr/local/bin, which
on one user's machine was world writable and perl -T correctly
complained about it.
* Fixed ping command options in Lib.pm so that it works on OpenBSD.
Thanks to Kyle Amon for sending the fix. Decided to move the
ping options from Lib.pm into config.pl (as $Conf{PingArgs}) and
now configure.pl tries to come up with a sensible default based on
the OS.
* Fixed argument checking in BackupPC_tarExtract to allow '$' in the
share name (eg: C$). Thanks to Jules Agee for this fix. Also
changed the default config.pl so that single quotes are used
everywhere so that people don't get tripped up putting '$' inside
double-quoted strings.
#------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Version 1.03, 9 Dec 2001
#------------------------------------------------------------------------
* BackupPC now has full support for compression. There are now two
pool areas, the original pool for uncompressed files, and cpool for
compressed files. The compression is done by Compress::Zlib.
Compression reduces the pool disk usage by around 40%, although your
mileage may vary. Compression is optional and can also be specified on
a per-PC basis (although this will cost more pool storage since many
backup files will have to be stored in both compressed and
uncompressed forms.
* A new script, BackupPC_compressPool, can be run to compress the entire
pool. This is used once to migrate all the pool data from uncompressed
to compressed on existing installations. Read the documentation
(Installing BackupPC/Compressing an existing pool) before running
BackupPC_compressPool!
Alternatively, compression can simply be turned on and all new backups
will be compressed. Both old (uncompressed) and new (compressed)
backups can be browsed and viewed. Eventually, the old backups will
expire and all the pool data will be compressed. However, until the
old backups expire, this approach could require 60% or more additional
pool storage space to store both uncompressed and compressed versions
of the backup files.
* Significant improvements to the cgi interface, BackupPC_Admin:
- much better layout navigation
- handles compressed backup files and compressed log files
- handles unfilled incremental dumps
- better backup directory browsing navigation
- reports compression statistics
- $Conf{CgiDateFormatMMDD} allows you to set date format (MM/DD or DD/MM)
- Additional customization with $Conf{CgiHeaderFontType},
$Conf{CgiHeaderFontSize}, $Conf{CgiNavBarBgColor}, and
$Conf{CgiHeaderBgColor}.
* Eliminated BackupPC_queueAll. BackupPC directly reads the hosts
file and queues the PCs itself. Like config.pl, BackupPC will
re-read the hosts file on each wakeup if its modification time
changes, or upon a SIGHUP. This also makes for better behavior
when adding a host: if you add hosts, simply send a SIGHUP to
BackupPC or wait for the next wakeup.
* BackupPC_dump now compresses the SmbLOG file if compression is enabled.
* BackupPC_dump keeps track of compressed file sizes so that compression
statistics can be reported by the cgi interface.
* Aging of old log files now handles compressed log files (.z extension).
* Added configuration option $Conf{IncrFill} to specify whether
incremental dumps should be filled in. Old behavior was that
filling was on. Now it's optional. See config.pl for more
details.
* BackupPC_nightly now cleans and generates statistics for both
the uncompressed pool and compressed pool (cpool).
* Added new utility script BackupPC_zcat that can be used to
uncompresses BackupPC files.
* configure.pl offers various options related to compression,
depending upon whether this is a new install or upgrade,
and whether or not Compress::Zlib is installed.
* configure.pl now makes a backup copy of config.pl before
config.pl is updated.
* added three new fields to the backups file to handle optional
filling and compression stats.
* Added -e option to BackupPC_dump. BackupPC now invokes BackupPC_dump -e
on each dhcp host once each night to verify that very old backups are
expired. This ensures that very old backups are expired even if
the dhcp host has not been on the network for a long time.
* fixed bug in BackupPC::FileZIO.pm that required Compress::Zlib,
even if compression was off. Thanks to Steve Holmes for reporting
this.
* fixed bug that caused a BackupPC queue to get blocked when a backup
cancel attempt was made during the BackupPC_link phase.
#------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Version 1.02, 28 Oct 2001.
#------------------------------------------------------------------------
* Added new script BackupPC_tarExtract to extract the smbclient tar
archive. This reduces disk writes by perhaps 90-95% and disk reads by
50%. Previously, tar was used to extract and write everything to disk.
Then BackupPC_dump would read enough of each file to compute the MD5
digest, and then compare the full file with candidate pool files. So
for each 1MB file that matches a single file in the pool, there would
be 1MB of disk writes and 2MB of disk reads (to compare two 1MB files).
BackupPC_tarExtract instead extracts the archive using a 1MB memory
buffer. This allows the MD5 digest to be computed without touching the
disk. Next, any potential pool file compares are done by comparing the
pool file against the incoming tar data in memory, which only requires
the pool file to be read. So for each 1MB file that matches a single
file in the pool, there are now no disk writes, and only 1MB of reads.
BackupPC_tarExtract handles arbitrary size files and repeated
potential pool matches. If the incoming file doesn't match the pool
then it is written to disk (once the pool is mature this happens maybe
5-10% of the time).
* Substantial changes to BackupPC_dump:
+ BackupPC_tarExtract is now used in place of tar.
+ BackupPC_dump now reads the output from both smbclient and
BackupPC_tarExtract and merges them into SmbLOG.
+ Named pipes are no longer used to connect smbclient to tar
(now BackupPC_tarExtract). Regular pipes are used instead.
This avoids the need to system mknod or mkfifo.
+ Locked files on the client that can't be read by smbclient
previously were filled with 0x0 bytes by smbclient, meaning
tar extracted a useless file filled with 0x0 bytes. Now,
BackupPC_dump watches the output of smbclient and removes
any files that smbclient couldn't read. This avoids storing
useless files. It tries to replace such files with a hard link
to a previous dump. These actions appear in the log file.
* added new module lib/BackupPC/FileZIO.pm. This handles pool file
I/O and is used by BackupPC_tarExtract. BackupPC::FileIO supports
reading and writing compressed and regular files and provides all the
hooks for compression support in BackupPC (should be supported in next
version). BackupPC::FileIO also does efficient writing of files that
contain leading 0x0 bytes (by seeking past the 0x0 bytes). This is
helpful when smbclient reads a locked file, and it fills the tar
output with a file of the correct size but all 0x0. Such files will be
later removed by BackupPC_dump. But in the meantime, BackupPC::FileIO
writes such files efficiently (as sparse files), meaning just a few
blocks of disk space will be needed even if the file is large.
* alive/dead counting for blackout now works correctly for DHCP hosts.
* BackupPC resets activeJob on startup, to fix bug when BackupPC was
killed and restarted with backups running.
* added extra non blocking select() in BackupPC to make sure the socket
reads don't block.
* BackupPC avoids queuing multiple BackupPC_queueAll's on the CmdQueue.
* Updated BackupPC_sendEmail to correctly parse the locked file
error from 2.2.1a smbclient, so that missing Outlook file emails
can be correctly sent.
* Changed HostInfoRead() in lib/BackupPC/Lib.pm to lowercase the
hostname read from the hosts file.
* BackupPC_Admin provides general summary when the host name is empty.
* configure.pl (and BackupPC) now requires perl 5.6.0 or later.
* configure.pl complains if BackupPC is already running, reminding you
to stop it before upgrading.
* updated documentation, and fixed auto-insertion of config.pl into
BackupPC.pod (previously the last config parameter was left out of
BackupPC.pod).
#------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Version 1.01, 30 Sep 2001
#------------------------------------------------------------------------
* Documentation cleanup in README, doc/BackupPC.pod, conf/config.pl.
* BackupPC_sendMail now reads the optional per-PC config file, allowing
email configuration parameters to be set on a per-PC basis.
* Removed the unused 4096-length MD5 digest code in lib/BackupPC/Lib.pm.
#------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Version 1.00, 21 Sep 2001
#------------------------------------------------------------------------
* Initial release of BackupPC on sourceforge.net.
