This is yet another client/server backup program for UNIX.
dnbackup is NOT yet ready for use.
dnbackup is NOT yet ready for use. It is currently in the design and early implementation phase. At the point where it is capable of doing a basic level zero backup and restore, I will release documentation, including design documents and a far more detailed description. Until then, you are welcome to peruse the sources, but do not expect it to work or even necessarily compile.
This page (and the entry on freshmeat) will be updated as public information and source becomes available.
UPDATE 20 March 2004: In moving my primary development from RedHat 7.3 to Fedora Core 1, I found that there are problems trying to compile and install one of the libraries upon which dnbackup currently depends. At this time I am reevaluating the use of that library. Consequently it is unclear under what circumstances dnbackup will actually compile. The last known clean compilation has been CVS tagged PRE_VMSTREAM_REMOVAL. I'll get things cleaned up as soon as I can.
UPDATE 21 January 2003: Much of the rewrite from C to C++ has occured (compared to how much was previously written in C, not the total size of the project). The messaging system has been updated and tested, and strong authentication using SRP has been implemented and tested.
UPDATE 01 September 2002: Not much has happened here in the last few months due to a new addition to our family; my time has been kind of full otherwise. Also, if you're looking at CVS, you'll note that things are in a bit of a mess at the moment. I've moving from C to C++ as the source language since I found that things were becoming more OO-based. If they're OO, they may as well be in C++. Honest, the project is continuing ...
Mailing lists are now available for discussion, announcements, and monitoring the CVS repository.
dnbackup sources are available via anonymous cvs. In order to do your initial checkout, you first need to sign in:
cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@cvs.gno.org:/repository login
When prompted for a password, just hit return (it is an empty password).
Then check out the sources:
cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@cvs.gno.org:/repository -z3 co dnbackup
In order to update an already checked out tree, do the following:
cd /my/path/to/checked/out/dnbackup
cvs -z3 update -PAd
