version 0.9.5 -- unreleased
|
||
ninjareport
|
||
. Added first draft of method to aggregate reports from many servers into
|
||
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.
|
||
. Enhanced portability for other platforms
|
||
. Added quoting because it was needed to prevent shell expansion, broking the
|
||
toint function sometimes (Trac#11)
|
||
. Fixed reportspace option (Trac#10)
|
||
handler changes
|
||
dup:
|
||
. Support duplicity >= 0.4.3 invocation syntax (--ssh-command option
|
||
is not supported anymore)
|
||
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)
|
||
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:
|
||
. 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:
|
||
. 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)
|
||
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)
|
||
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
|
||
. 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)
|
||
handler changes
|
||

|
||

|
||
. Fixed su quote usage to be more posixy
|
||
. Compress for sqldumps now happens in-line to save some disk space (Closes: #370778)
|
||

|
||
pgsql:
|
||
. Fixed inversed vsname emptiness check
|
||

|
||
. Fixed shell expansion, thanks Thomas Kotzian (Closes: #363297)
|
||
. postgres user UID is now the one from inside the vserver if necessary
|
||
. Compress now happens in-line to save some disk space (Closes: #370778)
|
||
. $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.
|
||
. Removed overzealous vsnames check
|
||
. Now works if testconnect=no and if $test is not defined.
|
||
. 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
|
||
. Does not pretend anymore that duplicity can work without
|
||
any passphrase
|
||
. Support duplicity 0.4.2 (with Debian patches applied; upstream's
|
||
0.4.3 will integrate them); documented how to write sftp-compatible
|
||
sshoptions (Closes: #388543)
|
||
. Now forbid to (try to) include /.
|
||

|
||

|
||
Tom Hoover)

vserver:
|
||
. init_vservers: fixed Debian bug #351083 (improper readlink syntax)
|
||
. found_vservers: escaped special grep repetition character +
|
||
. forced mktemp to use a template with a name to be more compatible with
|
||
different versions of mktemp, thanks anarcat
|
||
ninjahelper changes
|
||
. Recursively ignore subdirs in /etc/backup.d (Closes: #361102)
|
||
. 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.
|
||
changed cron permissions to 644
|
||
changed /etc/backup.d permissions to 0770 (for admingroup)
|

||
is set to ldapsearch as this is safer

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