2015-11-13 | Updated changelog | Patrick J Cherry | |
2015-11-13 | Do not prune unless there is at least one backup that is a week old. | Patrick J Cherry | |
2015-11-09 | Added --delete-excluded to rsync flags, otherwise fiddling with the | Matthew Bloch | |
/etc/byteback/excludes file between runs can stop your next backup completing. | |||
2015-11-03 | New release | Steve Kemp | |
2015-11-03 | Update our deletion-handling. | Steve Kemp | |
We've switched the default from --delete-after to --delete-during. The intention being that we'll free up space during the rsync run, rather than having to wait until all data has transferred, hoping it will fit before deletion. | |||
2015-08-18 | new release | Steve Kemp | |
2015-08-13 | Run-parts against our pre-backup directory. | Steve Kemp | |
If the /etc/byteback/pre-backup.d/ directory is present then execute the contents. | |||
2015-08-13 | Specify the timeout period as an integer, not a string. | Steve Kemp | |
This is required as we're essentially passing the value to the command-line, via fork()+exec(). | |||
2015-08-13 | Abort cleanly if we cannot acquire our lockfile. | Steve Kemp | |
This avoids a backtrace, and shows a clean reason for failure. | |||
2015-08-13 | Run all scripts in the post-completion directory. | Steve Kemp | |
If the directory /etc/byteback/post-backup.d/ exists then run all scripts in it, once we've completed our run. | |||
2015-08-13 | Reorder source-code. | Steve Kemp | |
Moved the functions to the top of the script, wrap the body of the program in a test to ensure we're being invoked. | |||
2015-08-11 | Drop the I/O timeout down to three hours. | Steve Kemp | |
At the moment we kill the rsync if there is no I/O for the given period (6 hours previously, 3 after this commit lands) and then retry the rsync connection up to three times. This meant that a backup could take no more than 3x6 = 18 hours but that was too long. Now we'll be 3x2 = 6 hours and that should be sufficient that transient failures are handled, but never-gonna-complete cases fail in a timely fashion. | |||
2015-08-11 | Enable (ssh) compression. | Steve Kemp | |
This is useful to speed up backups, because otherwise they will be I/O-bound and the CPU-overhead is a net-win. | |||
2015-08-11 | Allow I/O timeout to be specified. | Steve Kemp | |
Rather than having a hard-wired value we now allow this to be specified on the command-line: --io-timeout=7200 Or in a file: /etc/byteback/io_timeout | |||
2015-08-11 | Simplified logging-logic. | Steve Kemp | |
We don't use the environmental variable, which was never documented, instead we either: * Log to the console when running interactively. * Log to syslog otherwise. | |||
2015-08-11 | Updated formatting - just for neatness. | Steve Kemp | |
2015-08-11 | Updated the fatal-error handling. | Steve Kemp | |
Now we use the utility classes we have to log errors to syslog. | |||
2015-08-05 | Added a simple utility for future-reference. | Steve Kemp | |
This takes each snapshot on-disk, and uses an intermediary snapshot, to essentially change the ownership of all snapshots from `root` to `byteback`. | |||
2015-07-01 | Change rsync timeout from 12 to 6 hours. | Steve Kemp | |
