All releases of Burp
Release Notes: Automatically converts backslashes to forward slashes for includes/excludes on Windows clients. Adds 'client_can_force_backup', 'client_can_list', 'client_can_restore' and 'client_can_verify' options. Adds the ability to trigger a backup from the server side. Adds a 'notify_success_changes_only' option, which means that success notifications only get sent if there were new or changed files. Has some OS X fixes. For each file, stores the compression setting in the manifest. Small bugfixes.
Release Notes: Automated certificate authority and client certificate signing were added. See docs/burp_ca.txt for more information. The ability for conf files to point to more conf files to read was added. The ability for the server to set includes/excludes was added. The ability for the server to initiate a restore was added. The ability to dump logs and paths in backups using '-a S' was added. Assorted bugfixes were made.
Release Notes: This release adds EFS support for Windows, uses mingw-w64 for both 32bit and 64bit Windows builds, adds an "exclude_fs =" option for Linux to skip partitions types (for example, tmpfs) without generating warnings, adds tweaks for getting Burp into official Debian and Ubuntu repositories, makes the server tell the client which extra features it supports, adds an option to strip the leading path components on restoration, and fixes a segfault which was happening on the server when SSL_accept() failed. Burp is now in Debian Sid and Ubuntu Precise.
Release Notes: This release adds a mechanism for automatically upgrading clients. It fixes a bug where attributes on Windows directories were not getting read properly. It fixes a rounding problem in remaining time estimation in the status monitor. There are various small bugfixes. Windows depkgs have been upgraded to the latest versions of OpenSSL. Windows uninstall works.
Release Notes: This release adds an automated test script, a "min_file_size" option, a fixed "max_file_size" option, generic server-side pre/post scripts, a server script for doing extra SSL certificate checks, a "max_hardlinks" option which limits the number of times a single file is hardlinked in storage, a "-i" option which prints an index table of symbols, backups which carry on when files cannot be opened, spotting of Windows EFS directories and files (and warnings about them), an "estimate" option, a flexible way of passing new fields from the client to the server, and small bugfixes.
Release Notes: This release fixes a critical path comparison typo bug. If you have been using 1.2.4 either as a server or as a client, you need to upgrade immediately. Backups made with 1.2.4 should be treated as suspicious. A 'max_file_size' option has been added. This release will store Windows file attributes in a separate field from the standard Unix ones.
Release Notes: This release adds a file deduplication program, "bedup". It adds a network_timeout parameter; the default is 7200 seconds (2 hours). It adds an option to send success notifications only if there were warnings. It will try to create the pidfile directory if it doesn't exist. It restores times on Windows files, and restores read-only/hidden attributes on Windows. It fixes a bug in the 'keep' mechanism where setting 'keep=2' would delete both backups. It will only install clientconfdir/testclient with 'make install' if clientconfdir didn't previously exist. It fixes a possible segfault when resume mode triggers with nothing to resume.
Release Notes: This release adds multiple retention periods (e.g, keep 1 backup per day for 7 days, 1 backup per week for 4 weeks, 1 backup per 4 weeks for a year). See the 'keep' option in the man page. A network send rate-limiting feature was added. There are small bugfixes.
Release Notes: Improvements to the counters and status monitor, a simple backup 'resume' mode, a "daily summary via email" feature, the addition of the number of warnings to the subject of notification emails, the ability to exclude files by extensions, server reload on SIGHUP, instructions for Windows 7 bare metal restore, and other smaller fixes.
Release Notes: FreeBSD xattr/acl support was added. The ability to handle Windows junction points was added. The "nobackup = [file name]" option was added. If this file system entry exists, the directory containing it will not be backed up. An important bug was fixed so that the librsync signature block size is set based on the old file size. Other small bugs were fixed.
