New stable flexbackup release - 1.2.0. See http://flexbackup.sourceforge.net
To update from a 1.0.x version, please use a new copy of the config file and
tweak it for your setup.
To reiterate major feature changes over the 1.0.x versions:
- New ways to spec the filesystems. You can have arbitrarily named
backup "sets" that act like the old "all".
- Per-filesystem subtree pruning.
- A "copy" type to make a directory tree mirror of the selected files
rather than an archive file.
- stdin/stdout pipe options
- Package delta backup levels - only back up files which are "unowned" by
packages or (optionally) have been modified from the distributed
version. The idea here is that there's no need to archive 99.5% of
/ and /usr most of the time if you have CD's handy, or can just go
download the packages again.
- A "filelist" backup type to help debug exclude patterns or levels.
---------------------------------------
Log since last 1.1.x devel release:
Changes:
- Merge devel -> stable
- Added -pipe option to archive single directory to stdout,
or list/extract/compare archive from stdin
- No null padding necessary for reads, even with $pad_blocks true - only
needed for writes. Should take harmless warnings away from gzip,tar,
and others when reading
- Added -nodefaults option for debug
- Allow compression for filelist type
Bugfixes/cleanup:
- Fix FreeBSD find w/ prune regex
- Truncate tar label to 99 chars
- Error if -num flag with backup write mode or using file
- Error if -erase with archive read mode or using file
- Fix afio volume header print filehandle
- Fix if on-disk backups, and "-rmfile all", the index for the keyfile
was removed but not the keyfile itself
- use $:: rather than $main:: for globals, its shorter...
