From rjk at terraraq.uk Tue Feb 13 18:59:51 2018 From: rjk at terraraq.uk (Richard Kettlewell) Date: Tue, 13 Feb 2018 18:59:51 +0000 Subject: rsbackup 5.0 Message-ID: <97a16a95-0d20-a2f0-6852-a82449c795ea@terraraq.uk> I have released rsbackup 5.0. Description: rsbackup is a backup tool that uses rsync to back up your files to hard disks. * It uses rsync’s ability to hardlink unchanged files together to keep multiple copies with only the space cost of the directories. * Backups may be taken from multiple machines (using SSH) and stored to multiple filesystems, which could be fixed or external disks. * Old backups are removed automatically, using flexible per-volume policies. * The current backup status can be generated as a file or sent as an email, with plain text and HTML format supported. * Hook features are provided to allow operator-supplied programs to be run at key points during the backup process, to ensure that devices are mounted, to support backing up via snapshots, etc. Changes in 5.0: * Configuration file parsing has changed slightly, with stricter rules about indentation. See rsbackup(5) for details. * The default location for snapshots has changed. If you use snapshots you must adjust your configuration. * New host-check directive controlling how to test whether hosts are up or down. * ACLs and extended attributes are now backed up. Note that the options used assume a modern version of rsync, and are not supported by the version installed under macOS; also this feature can also cause some trouble with Windows filesystems. Set the rsync-extra-options as discussed in rsbackup(5) to work around this. * The --retire option now always requests confirmation from the user. * New --forget-only option used with --retire to drop database records for backups without deleting the backups themselves. * pre-backup-hook scripts may now exit with a distinct exit status to indicate a transient failure, equivalent to a check-file or check-mounted test failing. Advance warnings: * The old always-up directive is now deprecated and will produce a warning. In some future version it will be removed.

See the description of store and store-pattern in rsbackup(5) and --unmounted-store in rsbackup(1) for options to restore the previous behavior. Fixes issue #42. * Minor build fixes. Advance warnings: * No 32-bit .deb files will be distributed in the future. I will still accept bug reports and PRs concerning 32-bit builds for the time being (within reason).
