New and Changed Features

  • Select Files to Back up Using Backup Sets

    You can now select files to back up using backup sets. Backup sets let you specify the directories to back up. Backup sets can be created locally, or by your administrator using the Admin Console, where they can be centrally managed. Backup sets do not replace the backup file selection commands ( addbackupdirs, clearbackupdirs, and removebackupdirs), but they are the recommended file selection method.

  • Display and Set the Locale Codeset

    You can now display the current locale codeset used by the backup software using the codeset command. You can also set the codeset to the one used by the shell LANG environment variable. For more information, see the command help (mozyutil help codeset) or manual page (man mozyutil).

  • Log Events in UTC or Local Time

    You now have the option to log events in UTC or local time. The default is UTC. This is an advanced feature and requires editing of the backup software configuration file. For more information, see the mozybackup.conf file.

  • Various Performance Enhancements

    Various changes were made to enhance the performance and usability of the software.

Issues Fixed

  • Changed the name of the --blacklist option in the scan command to --exclude. This option lists all files that are selected for backup but are excluded because they are blacklisted or included in an exclusion backup set.
  • Fixed an issue that caused a UTF-8 error backing up files.

Known Issues

  • In rare situations, if you cancel an active backup and then remove files from the backup set definition, those files, which should be deleted, are left in the Mozy cloud. The workaround is to use mozyutil scan --repair to resolve the issue.
  • Paused or suspended backups are reported as successfully completed backups.
