What's new in mlbackup-115?
- mlbackup can now check for new versions online. Just run mlbackup without any config file parameter.
- Globalexclusions can now be turned off for 100% accurate backups.
- You can now provide your own per-config exclusions for even more control over what gets backed up and what can be left out.
- Globalexclusions have been extended with new files. Fifos and Sockets are now excluded by default.
- Verbosity has been reduced during normal runs, speeding up the backup process and reducing log sizes.
- When running in debug mode (set MLdebug=1 in your config file) mlbackup now spits out even more valuable information to track down problems.
- Time display is improved. Backup durations are now displayed in dd:hh:mm:ss instead of seconds only.
- Deleting of backups during autorotation has been improved. You should see a lot less of these OLD-Backups now.
- An error that could occur if setlabel or setcomment aren't in your $PATH has been fixed. This did not affect backup quality.

MacLemon veröffentlicht seine Mac Server Backuplösung mlbackup unter der GPL. Damit steht unsere rsync basierte Software die speziell für Mac OS X Server entwickelt wurde endlich auch anderen Mac Administratoren zur Verfügung. mlbackup benötigt Mac OS X oder Mac OS X Server 10.4.9 (Tiger) oder höher und läuft gleichermaßen auf Macs mit PowerPC sowie intel Core Prozessoren
Nach langer Entwicklungsphase, vielen Tests, einigen Rückschlägen und generell viel zu wenig Zeit haben wir es doch endlich geschafft. Unsere neue Webseite geht online. Es wird sicherlich noch ein paar rauhe Kanten an der einen oder anderen Stelle geben, aber die werden wir noch glatt schleifen.
Herzlich willkommen!
