version 0.7 -- July 3 2005 added ninjahelper: a dialog based wizard for creating backupninja configs. considerably improved and changed the log file output. you can now disable actions with .disabled (this is new preferred method). version 0.6 -- June 16 2005 ldap handler has new options: backup method to use (ldapsearch or slapcat), restart, passwordfile and binddn. Default backup method is set to ldapsearch as this is safer ****************************************************************** NOTE: to get the previous default behavior with the ldap handler, you must set "method = slapcat". The new default is ldapsearch. ****************************************************************** implemented fix so that the main script will echo fatal errors rather than being silent about them, this means an error message every hour if there is a major configuration problem (not a handler problem) added vserver support to main script and to the handlers: mysql, svn, sys, rdiff changes to duplicity handler (thanks intrigeri!): "keep = yes" now disables file cleaning on desthost added "sign" option for backups signing added "encryptkey" option to specify the gpg key to use split config into [source], [gpg] and [dest] sections added "nicelevel" option added "testconnect" option added "sshoptions" option (will be passed to ssh/scp) added "bandwidthlimit" option example.dup example config file for duplicity handler added trac (http://trac.edgewall.com/) environment handler (thanks Charles Lepple!) added configfile option to mysql handler the default is /etc/mysql/debian.cnf. with this, sqldump doesn't need dbusername. (hotcopy still does). fixed bug in mysql handler which caused some passwords to not work. (.my.cnf files now have double quotes around password) can now pass options to hwinfo and sfdisk in sys handler. >>>>>>> .r129 version 0.5 -- April 12 2005 rdiff handler works when remote sshd has a banner rdiff handler supports local dest logfile is created if it doesn't exist added "when = hourly" added optional 'nicelevel' to rdiff handler fixed bug where actions were not run in numeric order. improved 'when' parsing. version 0.4.4 -- March 18 2005 results of handlers are now read line by line. changes to rdiff handler: added "options", and "keep" is not necessarily days now (ie, it will pass straight through to rdiff-backup if the keep has a unit on it, otherwise it adds the 'D'). added dup handler (still pretty beta) added maildir handler (very specialized handler) added --run option (runs the specified action file) improved sys handler, now uses hwinfo added subversion hotbackup handler, svn. added PATH to cron.d file, which fixes file not found errors. version 0.4.2 -- Jan 6 2005 fixed bug which caused a report email to be sent even if no actions were run. fixed bug where multiple handler status messages were ignored added status in the subject line of report emails version 0.4.1 -- Jan 3 2005 added $usecolors and now more conservative about when colors are echoed. fixed major bug, 'when' actually works now. replaced debug function with debug, info, warning, error, fatal. added --now option to force all actions to be performed now. version 0.4 -- Dec 26 2004 added "when" option, so that all configs can specify when they are to be run. added reportsuccess and reportwarning config options added .sys handler (hardware, packages, partitions). version 0.3.4 -- Dec 8 2004 fixed numerical variable quoting compatibility with older wc fixed stderr redirect bug some comments in example.rdiff version 0.3.3 -- Nov 10 2004 '*' (asterisk) works now in rdiff config files works now with gawk as well as mawk many bug fixes to ldap handler paths to helper scripts can be configured in global config does not require /usr/bin/stat version 0.3.2 -- Sept 29 2004 handler scripts are no longer executable (to comply with debian policy) handler error and warning messages are sent with the notify email version 0.3.1 -- Sept 5 2004 added ldap handler moved sh support to a handler script add test mode, where no action is taken. added --help force only root can read /etc/backup.d/* fixed missing equals symbols in example.rdiff changed backupninja executable to be /usr/sbin rather than /usr/bin version 0.3 -- Oct 20 2004 ** IMPORTANT ** all config files are now ini style, not apache style rewrote all scripts in bash for portability added drop-in backupninja lib directory (/usr/share/backupninja) all scripts are now run as root version 0.2 -- Oct 14 2004 move distribution folder ./cron.d to ./etc/cron.d fixed bug: removed printr of excludes (!) added support for changing the user/group in rdiff sources. added support for .mysql config files. version 0.1 -- Oct 8 2004 initial release
