Dear User, Yarbu 1.5.17 has been released on the testing branch. This has included a feature to generate a soft-link "0000 Current Backup" that points to the most recent completed successful backup. This can be particularly useful for replicating backups using YARBU recursively since only the current successful backup needs to be considered. Improvements have been made to cross-platform use on systems with different mail transfer clients. Regards, -ed |

Dear Yarbu user, Version 1.4.8 has been released. A number of small, but slightly irritating bugs have been squashed. Backups that take a genuinely long time now do not send spurious hourly warning messages. The remote system nice level is now called 'NICELEVEL' and the system has been made more aminable to QNAP servers and similar machines with minimal remote utilities. Similarly the backup bandwidth limiter, which can be important for home DSL users with minimal upload speeds, now works correctly. This release, as an even numbered version can be considered as stable since it has been used for over three months with the previous bugs tested.

Dear Yarbu user, Version 1.4.7 has been released. A number of small, but slightly irritating bugs have been squashed. Backups that take a genuinely long time now do not send spurious hourly warning messages. The remote system nice level is now called 'NICELEVEL' and the system has been made more aminable to QNAP servers and similar machines with minimal remote utilities. Similarly the backup bandwidth limiter, which can be important for home DSL users with minimal upload speeds, now works correctly. This release, as an odd numbered version, should be considered for testing purposes only. The package has now been used flawlessly for over three months and will soon be re-released as 1.4.8 on the 'stable' branch. Regards, -ed |

Dear Yarbu user, Version 1.4.4 has been released. New to 1.4.4 is an explicit disk space warning. When the backup server starts to get full it will send a warning message. This version has undergone testing and should be considered stable. The latest version may be downloaded from. http://sourceforge.net/projects/yarbu/files/ Documentation has also been extensively revised and techniques for dealing with laptops and other ephemeral devices have been outlined.

Dear yarbu users, I am happy to announce that the first stable release, 1.2.2 of yarbu has be= en=20 completed. =20 This version has now been operating sucessfully for months without a hitch,= =20 correctly carrying out backups hourly, daily, weekly and monthly on a dozen= =20 machines. Unlike its earlier cousins on the 1.1.x branch, it can carry out simultaneo= us=20 backups of different types, as specified by the backup suffix. This allows= =20 one to carry out a backup explicitly of, for example, one machine while the= =20 other backups continue as expected. A number of features have been added to make the configuration files more f= ail=20 safe. Most important of these is the introduction of a "banned" list of=20 target directories and the restriction of targets to local directories. Yo= u=20 cannot specify a target containing . .. , or / , /root , /proc , /usr etc. = =20 This is to prevent accidental zapping of important directories on the part = of=20 the person configuring the server. I can now quite happily say that this backup facility "does what it says on= =20 the tin". For now, development of new features will be frozen. It is=20 unlikely that this branch will see much development except for bug fixes. =46rom this point only bugs will be fixed in the 1.2.x branch of the code a= nd=20 the next development cycle will take place on the 1.3.x branch. =2Ded |
