If you haven't gotten notice already, I've put 0.5 up on the server. This release includes several changes. (diff -uNr between 0.4 and 0.5 was over 2500 lines.) I'll try and summarize them here. I don't remember if I posted this, but I did a restore under a very controlled setup. So real restores are close. * Added md5 checksums * Rewrote plain_reader and plain_writer so they can share code * Changed p_r and p_w to generate a list of files upfront instead of as needed * Changed p_w so that if dynamically generates a output pathname $outpath/$host/$time/foo * Added a concept of a controller module that when asks tell you if we should backup or restore * Completly broke network_reader and network_writer :) * wrote unfilter for bzip2_filter Current TODO list (If anyone is interested speak up and I'll give more details) * fix network_reader/network_writer * add pthreads. I'm most interested in working on this next. * write unfilter for tar_filter * Clean-up the configuration process (Still thinking about what this means) * add exclude paths to plain_reader * abstract the writting code in plain_reader and plain_writer so they can share common code * get logging_module into a robust working state. * more as I think of them....
