Package: backup-manager
Version: 0.7.9-3
Severity: normal
Tags: upstream patch
Hello,
When using backup-manager to backup the root directory
(BM_TARBALL_DIRECTORIES="/"), the
purge routine does not work well, it purges only .md5 files.
Backup-manager names the archives according to the following pattern:
$BM_ARCHIVE_PREFIX-<parent of $BM_TARBALL_DIRECTORIES>.$DATE.$BM_FILETYPE
When $BM_TARBALL_DIRECTORIES is root, the parent is void, so the resulting name
is:
$BM_ARCHIVE_PREFIX.$DATE.$BM_FILETYPE.
The problem comes from the fact that the routine that computes the list of
outdated files (/usr/bin/backup-manager-purge) does not handle this special case
in its file name mathing, thus ignoring these archives.
I fixed /usr/bin/backup-manager-purge to handle correctly root backups:
