Jeffrey would do that but I didn't reach him via email :-(
Sorry - I didn't receive any such email. Probably the best way to
reach me is via the mailing list if email fails.
Of course, Matthias is the original owner -- I just added a few tweaks
;)
For my own internalversion control, can you tell me if any behaviors
changed other than adding --remove
Note I did a diff and noticed a fair number of changes but wasn't sure
which are cosmetic, which are bug fixes, which are polish and
which are significant. The reason I am asking is that I notice at
least one change that would break the script on my
install. Specifically, the Fedora package version stores the config in
/etc/BackupPC while you changed it to /etc/backuppc. For this change
maybe the path could look both places or maybe there should be a
user-defined variable at the top of the script.
Beyond that, I was wondering whether any of the fixes or changes
may similarly work on some systems but cause breaks on others.
Hi Jeffrey,
All improvements which was provided in the wiki are included in this new
release.
In addition I've added:
- remove XferLOG.number[.z] together with backup number
- --remove will remove a host from the /etc/backuppc/hosts as well as all
of his backups
- (today) look for /etc/BackupPC as well as for /etc/backuppc
All the rest from a diff should be cosmetics or changes which implemented
not from me.
So I would believe you can change the wiki text into:
How to delete backups from the archive:
Put this script somewhere in your path. It includes usage information when
run without arguments.
It will remove incremental backups too, if a full backup should be removed
where the incrementals based on. The incrementals will also be removed if
they are filled. Here is room for improvement :-)
FreeBSD
if you want to use BackupPC on a FreeBSD system, you have to change
the 'stat' calls. Change the two occurencies of the line:
BackupTime=`stat -c %y
$TopDir/pc/$client/$BackupNumber/backupInfo | awk '{print $1}'`
into
BackupTime=`stat -f %Sm -t %Y-%m-%d
$TopDir/pc/$client/$BackupNumber/backupInfo`
br

Where is the problem?
More than a year ago I asked for an update of the mediawiki entry.
The entry is realy outdated!
Maybee someone can add me to the editor group so that I can update the
entry.
Send me a mail and ask me for the necessary account informations.
Thanks in advance
Matthias
