Package: backuppc
Version: 3.1.0-4
Severity: critical
Justification: causes serious data loss
Since upgrading to Lenny (thus upgrading BackupPC), backups cannot be made
anymore using SMB method when using
$Conf{BackupFilesOnly} and defining paths longer than one level due to the app
trying to duplicate the second to last
directory in the file-including path. For instance, having the following host
config file:
$Conf{SmbShareName} = [
'cosme'
];
$Conf{BackupFilesOnly} = {
'*' => [
'/Escritorio/ESCRIBIR CD',
'/Datos de Programa/Thunderbird'
]
};
$Conf{SmbShareUserName} = 'backuppc';
$Conf{SmbSharePasswd} = '';
$Conf{XferMethod} = 'smb';
$Conf{FullPeriod} = '29.97';
$Conf{IncrPeriod} = '0.97';
$Conf{FullKeepCnt} = [
'1'
];
$Conf{IncrKeepCnt} = '30';
$Conf{ClientCharsetLegacy} = 'utf8';
Makes the automatic backups (both full and incremental) to silently fail. When
requesting a manual backup, it issues the
following errors:
Running: /usr/bin/smbclient \\\\sipn1\\cosme -I 161.111.149.171 -U
backuppc -E -d 1 -c tarmode\

As you can see above, the second to last directories are duplicated.
All of these lead to failed backups without warnings.
