Post 0.6.1:
- rethink the whole rdup-utils stuff. There are better ways possible to do the actual backup. Like sending the list of filenames to a remote server and then starting the backup. This way the remote side can check how far along the backup is; makes it possible to resume a backup.
- split of the utils in a seperate package.
Maybe in 0.6.1:
- move to Gnode in stead of GTree. This gives me more flexibility. I
want to print the list from
rdupdepth-first; first the files then the directories. All utility must then make directories on demand. When the finally do see the directory they can correctly set the permissions. This is needed for directories which may have a 600 permission, which you can read asroot, but you can not remotely dump them (withsshand as a normal user), because the rdup cannot enter the directory after creating and setting this permission on it.
Definitely in 0.6.1:
- remove the i18n from the Perl utils - the hack I was using when you don't want i18n breaks with Perl 5.10.
- removed the
-aflag, which utilizes extended attributes for storing the original owner and group information (again needed for remote dumps). This only worked on Linux and Solaris and was slow. I never liked this hack anyway, so now I'm removing it. - Amazon S3 support in the form of
rdup-s3, see this blog entry
