version 0.9.5 -- unreleased
ninjareport
. Added first draft of method to aggregate reports from many servers into
2007-10-12 19:14:34 +02:00
one email. Requires logtail, rsync, configuration of reporthost,
reportdirectory and reportuser in backupninja.conf. Configure cron to
run once a day, and individual backupninjas not to report by email their
status, then enjoy one email report from all hosts, rather than multiple
backupninja changes
. Fixed checks on configuration files permissions, since the patch
applied to fix #370396 broke this, especially for configuration files
created with permissions 000 by an older ninjahelper version.
2007-10-12 19:14:34 +02:00
. Enhanced portability for other platforms
. Added quoting because it was needed to prevent shell expansion, broking the
toint function sometimes (Closes: Trac#11)
. Fixed reportspace option (Closes: Trac#10)
. Fixed ldap handler not recognizing database suffix (Closes: Trac#28)
handler changes
dup:
. Support duplicity >= 0.4.3 invocation syntax (--ssh-command option
2007-11-25 18:54:54 +01:00
is not supported anymore) (Closes: #447425)
ldap:
. Fixed shell command quoting issues, missing 'then' clauses, cleaned up
compress=yes to be less redundant and not create empty uncompressed
file (Closes: #394935)
. Fixed ninjahelper to properly set compress option, standardized on yes/no
instead of on/off
. Fixed problem that caused combination of slapcat and compress to not work
together (Closes: Trac#29)
. Applied patch from romain.tartiere@healthgrid.org to fix the SSL/TLS options
to be correct, also set TLS to be the default over SSL (Closes: Trac#13)
2007-11-24 23:17:04 +01:00
maildir:
. Added an examples file (Closes: Trac#23)
2007-11-25 00:07:16 +01:00
. Applied patch from Anarcat that fixes the cp/mkdir calls to not use GNU
coreutils options, as well as some bashisms (Closes: Trac#24)
2007-11-25 00:13:24 +01:00
. Fix test mode (Closes: Trac#25)
mysql:
. Fixed case where odd combination of configuration options caused sqldump
backups to get overwritten with an empty file (Closes: #402679)
. Added 'nodata' option to enable you to specify tables that you want to omit
the data from a backup, but still backup the table structure. This is very
useful in cases where tables contain large amounts of cache data. See the
example.mysql for options, thanks Daniel Bonniot (Closes: #408829)
. Enhance code for selecting databases by asking MySQL not to give us the
header (-N), to not draw pretty boxes around the output (-B), send the query
via -e instead of a pipe and ensure MySQL listens to -B. Thanks to
Matthew Palmer (Closes: #452039).
pgsql:
2006-11-01 22:30:02 +01:00
. Support configuring PGSQLUSER for real, and document it a bit; this
broken support actually prevented pgsql handler to work for VServers
(Closes: #396578)
rdiff-backup:
2007-01-21 20:32:51 +01:00
. Added cstream support to allow for bandwidth limiting
. Handle "keep = yes" to disable old backups removal (Closes: #424633)
. Add configuration option to allow you to disable the version check
as in some instances this may be an ok scenario (Closes: #424632)
2007-11-24 22:53:15 +01:00
. Added local destination support to helper (Closes: Trac#4)
. Allow exclude-only configurations (Closes: Trac#21)
rub/rsync
. Fixed typo in rub handler that caused it to not work
. Changed to use lib/vserver code
. Fixed fsck error
. Fixed integer comparison (Closes: Trac#3)
. Renamed handler to 'rsync', replaces outdated rub handler
. updated examples/Makefile.am and handlers/Makefile.am to include
rsnap/rsync (Closes: #440554)
. Added example.rsync configuration file
sys:
. Fixed typo breaking things for VServers.
. Fix bug when vrootdir is on its own partition (Closes: #395928)
. Better sfdisk error and output handling: should now properly warn
when it does not manage to backup a partition table, and shut up when
it succeeds (Closes: #396632)
. Added option to not use sfdisk at all, useful for vserver/xen instances
that produce warnings about no harddisks found (Closes: #404071)
. Fixed example in example.sys to detail the __star__ in partitionsfile and
note why its necessary (Closes: #409192)
. Force C locale for sfdisk to ensure english words are found in grep
. Make directory where output is placed configurable, and create the parent dir
if it doesn't exist (Closes: Trac#1)
2007-01-21 20:32:51 +01:00
fixed 'make install' bug that failed if /etc/backup.d already existed
changed spaces to tabs in Makefile.am
version 0.9.4 -- October 6th, 2006
backupninja changes
2006-04-20 01:21:55 +02:00
. Fixed bug in toint(), and thus isnow(), which caused it
to not work when run from cron.
. Recursively ignore subdirs in /etc/backup.d (Closes: #361102)
. Add admingroup option to configuration to allow a group that can
read/write configurations (instead of only allowing root). Checks
and complains about group-readable files only when the group differs
from the one in the configuration file (default is root as before).
Thanks to Martin Krafft for the patch (Closes: #370396).
. When determining which backup actions to make, find now follows
symlinks for $configdirectory
. Changed order of -s to mail for compatibility
. fixed permission stat call so it uses the --format supported by
coreutils (Closes: #382747)
. Added disk space report option (thanks Adam Kosmin)

. $PGSQLUSER is used instead of hardcoding user 'postgres' (although this is the default)
svn:
. Fixed inversed vsname emptiness check
rdiff:
. Symlink and globbing support in include/exclude/vsinclude
clarification: globbing is fully supported again, whereas no attempt
is done to dereference symlinks anymore, due to incompatibilities
between various readlink versions in this field.
2006-04-05 06:40:40 +02:00
. Removed overzealous vsnames check
. Now works if testconnect=no and if $test is not defined.
2006-10-02 02:21:24 +02:00
. add $sshoptions config parameter in [dest] section of config so
connections to ports other than 22 can be made by adding the
following to the top of the handler config:
options = --remote-schema 'ssh -p REMOTE-PORT -C %s rdiff-backup
--server'
dup:
. Symlink and globbing support in include/exclude/vsinclude
clarification: globbing is fully supported again, whereas no attempt
is done to dereference symlinks anymore, due to incompatibilities
between various readlink versions in this field.

. Removed over zealous vsnames check

. Fix configdirectory error that forced you to use /etc/backup.d, thanks anarcat
. When determining which backup actions to list, find now follows
symlinks for $configdirectory
. Stop checking helpers perms: both "make install" and distros packages
install them with appropriate permissions, it's overzealous to check
this at runtime, and is more complicated to do with current
admingroup option.
dup.helper:
. Fix: signing was enabled with symmetric encryption.
2006-04-12 23:06:34 +02:00
changed cron permissions to 644

you must set "method = slapcat". The new default is ldapsearch.
******************************************************************
