Package: backupninja Version: 1.0.1-2 Severity: wishlist Hi.
I'd like to have the option to ignore failures to connect, and only report an error when the host is there but we couldn't ssh to it. When the host doesn't resolve, for instance because we're not on the right LAN, maybe we could just ignore the backup and not send an error report by mail. At the moment, I for instance have : Debug: ssh -o PasswordAuthentication=no remoteback.local -l backup 'echo -n 1' ssh: Could not resolve hostname remoteback.local: Name or service not known Fatal: Can't connect to remoteback.local as backup. In the case when there's no 'remoteback' system on my LAN (not at home, for instance), then it could just ignore the backup. By default, this wouldn't be enabled, as it is risky if one misconfigures, or the mdns won't work, or other issues occur, but would save the mboxes of some folks in situations like mine. Hope this helps.
