BackupPC 4.4.0 <https://github.com/backuppc/backuppc/releases/tag/4.4.0> has been released on Github.
This release contains several new features and some bug fixes. New features include: - any full/filled backup can be marked for keeping, which prevents any expiry or deletion - any backup can be annotated with a comment (eg, "prior to upgrade of xyz") - added metrics CGI (thanks to @jooola <https://github.com/jooola>) that replaces RSS and adds Prometheus support - tar XferMethod now supports xattrs and acls - rsync XferMethod now correctly supports xattrs on directories and symlinks - nightly pool scanning now verifies the md5 digests of a configurable fraction of pool files - code runs through perltidy so format is now uniform (thanks to @jooola <https://github.com/jooola>, with help from @shancock9 <https://github.com/shancock9> and @moisseev <https://github.com/moisseev>) New versions of BackupPC::XS (0.62 <https://github.com/backuppc/backuppc-xs/releases/tag/0.62>) and rsync-bpc ( 3.0.9.15 <https://github.com/backuppc/rsync-bpc/releases/tag/3.0.9.15>, 3.1.2.2 <https://github.com/backuppc/rsync-bpc/releases/tag/3.1.2.2> or 3.1.3beta0 <https://github.com/backuppc/rsync-bpc/releases/tag/3.1.3beta1>) are required. Thanks to Jeff Kosowsky for extensive testing and debugging for this release, particularly around xattrs. Enjoy!

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 <https://github.com/joola> (#344 <https://github.com/backuppc/backuppc/pull/344>, #347 <https://github.com/backuppc/backuppc/pull/347>) - Tar XferMethod now supports xattrs and acls; xattrs should 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 <https://github.com/joola> (#334 <https://github.com/backuppc/backuppc/pull/334>, #337 <https://github.com/backuppc/backuppc/pull/337>, #342 <https://github.com/backuppc/backuppc/pull/342>, #343 <https://github.com/backuppc/backuppc/pull/343>, #345 <https://github.com/backuppc/backuppc/pull/345>). Thanks to @joola <https://github.com/joola> and @shancock9 <https://github.com/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 <https://github.com/moisseev> (#325 <https://github.com/backuppc/backuppc/pull/325>, #326 <https://github.com/backuppc/backuppc/pull/326>, #329 <https://github.com/backuppc/backuppc/pull/329>, #330 <https://github.com/backuppc/backuppc/pull/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 <https://github.com/backuppc/backuppc/issues/324> reported by @thalueng <https://github.com/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 <https://github.com/rhansen> (#348 <https://github.com/backuppc/backuppc/pull/348>) - Fixed command name in error message in BackupPC_archive, by @rhansen <https://github.com/rhansen> (#349 <https://github.com/backuppc/backuppc/pull/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 <https://github.com/moisseev> (#336 <https://github.com/backuppc/backuppc/pull/336>) - Typo fix in config.pl, by @cure <https://github.com/cure> (#338 <https://github.com/backuppc/backuppc/pull/338>) - Minor documentation updates, removing old SourceForge links
