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.
