This software has saved me more times than I can count as I'm a bit reckless with a bash shell. :) Works amazingly well with shared hosts. Tip: get yourself a good nightly MySQL backup script and now you have nightly DB backups too! Would love to see a native app for Windows (like the Bacula client) but that would just be icing on the cake. Thank you for the awesome software! Yet Another Raving Fan, Josh

It's GUI makes it great for real users, unlike many backup software you dont have to be a sysadmin to restore your own files.

backuppc-beta 3.2.0beta0 file released: BackupPC-3.2.0beta0.tar.gz
Changes since 3.1.0: #------------------------------------------------------------------------ # Version 3.2.0beta0, 5 April 2009 #------------------------------------------------------------------------ * Added BackupPC::Xfer::Protocol as a common class for each Xfer method. This simplifies some of the xfer specific code. Implemented by Paul Mantz. * Added FTP xfer method, implemented by Paul Mantz. * Added BackupPC::Xfer module to provide a common interface to the different xfer methods. Implemented by Paul Mantz. * Moved setting of $bpc->{PoolDir} and $bpc->{CPoolDir} after the config file is read in BackupPC::Lib. Fix proposed by Tim Taylor and Joe Krahn, and rediscovered by several others including Holger Parplies. * Create $TopDir and related data directories in BackupPC_dump prior to hardlink test. Requested by Les Stott. * Fixed encoding of email subject header in bin/BackupPC_sendEmail as suggested by Jean-Claude Repetto. Also changed $Conf{EMailHeaders} charset to utf-8. Also changed bin/BackupPC_sendEmail to not send any per-client email if $Conf{BackupsDisable} is set. * Modified bin/BackupPC_dump to fix the case of a single partial backup followed by a successful incremental resulting in a full backup of level 1, rather than level 0. Reported by Jeff Kosowsky. * Fixed BackupPC::PoolWrite to always create the parent directory. This fixed a case with rsync/rsyncd where a file like "-i" in the top-level directory sorts before ".", which meant the directory creation is after the file creation. Also PoolWrite errors now increment xferError count. Reported by Jeff Kosowsky. * BackupPC now gives a more useful error message if BackupPC_nightly takes more than 24 hours (ie: when the next one is meant to start). Reported by Tony Schreiner. * Added more options to server backup command: rather than just forcing an incremental or full backup, a regular (auto) backup can be queued (ie: do nothing/incr/full based on schedule), as well as doing just an incremental or full or nothing based on the client schedule. Based on patches submitted by Joe Digilio. * Modified lib/BackupPC/CGI/RSS.pm to replace \n with \r\n in the RSS http response headers. Patch submitted by Thomas Eckhardt. * Modified bin/BackupPC_archive to allow the archive request file name to contain spaces and dashes, requested by Tim Massey. * Fix to configure.pl for --no-fhs case to initialize ConfigDir from Dan Pritts. Also changed perl path to #!/usr/bin/env perl. * Modified bin/BackupPC_archiveHost to shell escape the output file name. That allows it to contain spaces and other special characters. Requested by Toni Van Remortel. Also updated bin/BackupPC_archiveHost to shell escape and check other arguments. * Added $Conf{CmdQueueNice} to specify nice level for command queue commands (eg: BackupPC_link and BackupPC_nightly). Suggested by Carl Soderstrom. * Added --config-override to configure.pl, allow config settings to be set on the command line. Proposed by Les Stott and Holger Parplies. * Moved call to NmbLookupFindHostCmd in BackupPC_dump to after the check of whether a backup needs to be done. This makes wakeonlan work correctly, rather than waking up the client every WakeupSchedule. Reported by David Lasker. * Improved settings for compression and compext in BackupPC_archiveStart based on compression type, as proposed by Paul Dugas. compext is now empty, .gz or .bz2 based on ArchiveComp. * Changed bin/BackupPC_dump to not ping or lookup the host if $Conf{BackupsDisable} is set. Requested by John Rouillard. * Changed BackupPC_tarCreate to disable output of final nulls in tar archive when -l or -L option is used. Reported by John Rouillard. * Added error check in BackupPC::Xfer::RsyncFileIO after call to BackupPC::Xfer::RsyncDigest->digestStart(), reported by Jeff Kosowsky. * Added variable substitution for host, confDir, client in RsyncArgs, and also added option RsyncArgsExtra to allow more easy customization of RsyncArgs on a per-client basis. Proposed (with patch) by Raman Gupta. * Added Xfer error column to the host summary table in the CGI interface. Based on patch submitted by Jan Kratochvl. * Minor fix to sprintf arguments in BackupPC::Attrib, reported by Jonathan Kamens. * Fixed sort compareLOGName syntax in bin/BackupPC for perl 5.10.x, reported by Jeff Kosowsky and Holger Parplies. * Fixed bin/BackupPC_archiveStart to set compression correctly, and also set the file extension to .gz when compression is on. Reported by Stephen Vaughan. * Fixed netbios name comparison in bin/BackupPC_dump and bin/BackupPC_restore to just use the first 15 characters of the host name. Patch from Dan MacNeil. * Fixed nmblookup parsing in BackupPC::Lib::NetBiosInfoGet to ignore entries with the <GROUP> tag. Based on patch from Dan MacNeil. * Fixed BackupPC_dump so that the XferLOG file is saved when DumpPreUserCmd fails. Reported by John Rouillard. * Updated BackupPC.pod for $Conf{BackupsDisable}, reported by Nils Breunese. * Added alternate freebsd-backuppc2 init.d script that is more compact. Submitted by Dan Niles. * Minor updates to lib/BackupPC/Lang/fr.pm from Nicolas STRANSKY applied by GFK, and also from Vincent Fleuranceau. * Minor updates to lib/BackupPC/Lang/de.pm from Klaus Weidenbach. * Updates to makeDist for command-line setting of version and release date from Paul Mantz. * Add output from Pre/Post commands to per-client LOG file, in addition to existing output in the XferLOG file. Patch from Stuart Teasdale. * lib/BackupPC/Xfer/Smb.pm now increments xferErrCnt on NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED and ERRnoaccess errors from smbclient. Reported by Jess Martel. * Removed BackupPC_compressPool and BackupPC::Xfer::BackupPCd.
