Backup Manager 0.7.4 released
The 0.7.4 release of Backup Manager was published a few days ago, it provides a couple of bug fixes (most of them coming from the 0.7.3 version) and support a new feature : purging over SSH.
The current “work-in-progress” stuff is, randomly :
- Support for lzma compression (provide a new archive type : tar.lz)
- Support for Postgres dump (new backup method : pgsql)
- New way to handle incremental backups (feature for merging N incrementals into a new master)
I’m also rewriting the purging stuff within backup-manager-upload in order to apply the same purging rules as for local purging. This is almost done for FTP and SSH uploads now, it only remains the Amazon S3 method, whcih is maintained by Brad.
I’m also willing to take the time to plan a release roadmap for the next stable version : 0.8. My goal is to sync BM’s stable release with Debian’s…
