Hi, There is a way of finding annotated history of one directory:
http://<backuppchost>/backuppc/index.cgi?action=dirHistory&host=<host>&share=/&dir=/ But I was wondering whether it was currently possible, or whether it was easy to add support to show the changes of an entire hierarchy (starting from some nominated path) between two nominated backups (not just the last and the second last backups) and/or the current filesystem (eg, the last backup and the current filesystem. Would naturally be a very slow list to produce, as it would have to log in and inspect the current filesystem. I'd willingly give up this aspect, and just require you to perform another backup to compare against, as long as I could ensure that it wasn't about to clear out the backup I was just going to compare it against). I was thinking of a list of all files that have changed, with a link to each file that shows the unified diff between them (if an ascii file). It'd be easy to produce a list in the first place, if you knew you were looking at 2 full backups -- just do a `find -printf '%i %p' | sort -g` and look for inode/filename that don't match between the two trees (this wouldn't find metadata changes, which would presumably require parsing the attrib file. It would also get confused by pools that had their hardlinks broken). -- TimC It is impossible to sharpen a pencil with a blunt ax. It is equally vain to try to do it with ten blunt axes instead. -- Edsger Dijkstra ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ BackupPC-users mailing list BackupPC-users@lists.sourceforge.net List: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/backuppc-users Wiki: http://backuppc.wiki.sourceforge.net Project: http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/
