I just released a patch file for BackupPC-2.1.0beta2. The file is called BackupPC-2.1.0beta2pl1.diff and is available in the BackupPC-2.1.0beta2 package on http://backuppc.sourceforge.net. This patch should be applied to a cleanly unpacked BackupPC-2.1.0beta2.tar.gz prior to installation. It bumps the version number to 2.1.0beta2pl1, so you can know which patch level you have applied. I expect to use a similar patch mechanism in the future. More detailed instructions are in the patch file. The patch fixes the following things: - Fixes bug in rsync checksum caching code in BackupPC::Xfer::RsyncDigest. This fixes a problem that caused md4 checksum failures in all the prior beta versions. - BackupPC_zipCreate now ensures the earliest mtime is 1/1/1980, since zip file formats don't support earlier dates. - CGI restore via zip and tar now makes sure stderr is ignored when BackupPC_tarCreate and BackupPC_zipCreate are run. Previously any stderr output would get mixed in the archive, corrupting it. Also, I recently released a new version 0.52 of File::RsyncP. This fixes some intermittent hang problems caused by a deadlock in File::RsyncP. If you are having problems with rsync transfers hanging using BackupPC I recommend you upgrade. Craig |
