------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Title: TODO LIST FOR BACKUP Version: $HeadURL$ $LastChangedRevision$ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ copy current config file back to package ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ man page is totally out of date, has unsubstituted markers, and references dailybackup(8) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ generated log entries should include the backup description, not only the path(s) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ doc/examples is not installed because the ADE template included from doc/Makefile doesn't install them - wrong template or make template for intelligent regarding [non]existence of examples subdir. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ # Let the shell expand DATA_PATHS to it's full list. # e.g. if the user puts '/diskb/svn-repos.*' then # this cannot be passed to '[ -r ]' as it is. We # need to expand it and pass them one at a time. But # it doesn't work. size command should be invoked for one thing in the DATA_PATH at a time, otherwise I'll have to make the size config entries more intelligent (.e.g. they won't handle "[ -r /diskb/svn-repos* ]") 'etc' directory needs to be installed. It can be empty, but it should be installed. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ the state directory - STTDIR - where the tape library list is should definitely be created. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Even if this directory exists, if the library file doesn't exist then no error is produced (ok, no output either). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 'backup -d 10 -m dione' produces some info only after appearing to make the same calls several times. It appears to be looping over all data hosts or something. Is this really right? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ log files are world readable, tape capacity info in tapes.ffd isn't. this is the wrong way round. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
