[0.9.8] - 2010-09-12

backupninja changes

mysql

  • Options passed to mysqldump are now customizable with the new sqldumpoptions configuration variable. Thanks to Chris Lamb for his preliminary patch (Closes: DEBBUG-502966)
  • Hide 'mysqladmin ping' output, to prevent confusing the user in case mysqld is running but the authentication fails, which apparently does not prevent mysqldump to work.

  • Use gzip's --rsyncable option.
  • Quote output filenames to support shell meta-characters in database names.

  • mktemp is now required to run backupninja, removed less secure fall-back if mktemp did not exist on the system

handler changes

dup

  • General cleanup
  • Better support for new duplicity (>= 0.4.4) command line syntax: run remove-older-than when $keep is not set to yes (Closes: DEBBUG-458816), and run "duplicity cleanup" before any other duplicity command; both only trigger a warning on failure, since they should not stop backups from being done. Also migrated full/incremental backup switch to the new syntax.

maildir

  • fixed bug where maildirs that start with a number were skipped
  • make maildir helper look in every subdirectory of the source directory for maildirs, rather than just looking in the directories [a-zA-Z0-9], thanks for the patch from chris@cenolan.com (Trac#43).
  • make deleted maildirs record the date they were deleted
  • add destid_file configuration option to enable you to specify an alternate ssh public key authentication file (defaulting to /root/.ssh/id_rsa) pgsql, mysql, svn, sys:
  • use new vservers_running function from lib/vserver (factorization++)

sys

  • update for 2.6 kernels: use /proc/kallsyms instead of /proc/ksyms (Closes: Trac#39)
  • support selection of VServers to run on, in the same way as in the dup handler, with the new vsnames configuration option ; (Closes: Trac#45)

  • fixed catifexec function to actually work, also now passes the arguments given to catifexec() to the called command (Thanks John Hallam!)
  • Added more robust software RAID information capture by running mdadm -Q --detail /dev/md?* because some people may have empty mdadm.conf files (Thanks to John Hallam).

trac

makecd

  • updated handler for new toolset (genisoimage and wodim)

[0.9.5] - 2007-12-02

  • 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 is not supported anymore) (Closes: DEBBUG-447425)
  • New tmpdir configuration option, very useful in case duplicity tends to fill up /tmp.

ldap

  • Fixed shell command quoting issues, missing 'then' clauses, cleaned up compress=yes to be less redundant and not create empty uncompressed file (Closes: DEBBUG-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)

mysql

  • Fixed case where odd combination of configuration options caused sqldump backups to get overwritten with an empty file (Closes: DEBBUG-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: DEBBUG-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: DEBBUG-452039).

pgsql

  • Support configuring PGSQLUSER for real, and document it a bit; this broken support actually prevented pgsql handler to work for VServers (Closes: DEBBUG-396578)

rdiff-backup

  • Added cstream support to allow for bandwidth limiting
  • Handle "keep = yes" to disable old backups removal (Closes: DEBBUG-424633)

  • Allow exclude-only configurations (Closes: Trac#21)

sys

  • Fixed typo breaking things for VServers.
  • Fix bug when vrootdir is on its own partition (Closes: DEBBUG-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: DEBBUG-396632)
  • Added option to not use sfdisk at all, useful for vserver/xen instances that produce warnings about no harddisks found (Closes: DEBBUG-404071)
  • Fixed example in example.sys to detail the __star__ in partitionsfile and note why its necessary (Closes: DEBBUG-409192)

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.

  • Recursively ignore subdirs in /etc/backup.d (Closes: DEBBUG-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: DEBBUG-370396).
  • When determining which backup actions to make, find now follows symlinks for $configdirectory
  • Changed order of -s to mail for compatibility

  • Fixed erroneous removal of tmpfile when it didn't exit
  • Fixed inversed vsname emptiness check
  • Fixed su quote usage to be more posixy
  • Compress for sqldumps now happens in-line to save some disk space (Closes: DEBBUG-370778)

pgsql

  • Fixed inversed vsname emptiness check

  • postgres user UID is now the one from inside the vserver if necessary
  • Compress now happens in-line to save some disk space (Closes: DEBBUG-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: DEBBUG-388543)
  • Now forbid to (try to) include /.

sys

  • Many more system checks were added, (thanks to Petr Klíma)
  • Added warning if no devices were found (thanks Ranier Zocholl)

ninjahelper changes

  • Recursively ignore subdirs in /etc/backup.d (Closes: DEBBUG-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.

other

  • changed cron permissions to 644
  • changed /etc/backup.d permissions to 0770 (for admingroup)
