Uncommented line 225 in pysnapshot_libs.py which had accidentally been commented out.
Fixed bug that caused dirs mounted at / to not be detected or backed up. Fixed bug that emailed log even when no errors were present (future release will allow user to choose to send log or not with alwaysEmail flag). Better explained how to set email address that emails will be sent from. Improved logging of excluded files/dirs: if verbose is turned on, excluded files and dirs will be written to the log (instead of spewed to stdout :-) ).
PySnapshot 0.2.2 has been released. PySnapshot is full-fledged backup solution inspired by rsnapshot and written in Python. PySnapshot includes email notification of errors, verbose logging, extensive error handling, space making routine, ability to exclude select files and dirs from backup (with globbing support), and other quality features. This release fixes all known bugs identified since the release of 0.1. PySnapshot is still in beta testing, but this release moves it much closer to production readiness. Please give it a try and if you have feedback, file a bug report or a feature request.
Fixed problem with rsync not recognizing patterns in the exclude file. Improved logging of call to rsync so user can see each exclude pattern that was given to rsync individually. Made improvements to the logging engine's handling of keywords (e.g., error).
PySnapshot 0.1, a snapshot-based backup program, inspired by rsnapshot but written in Python, has been released. This is the first release. The program is not recommended for production use, but it is certainly ready for beta testing. Feedback, feature requests and bug reports are welcome. PySnapshot has a long list of useful features: please download and give it a try.
