Backup for Linux 1.3 Release Notes
Article Reference ID: 000273356
New and Changed Features
- Send Files to Mozy Using Data Shuttle
You can use Data Shuttle to send your files to Mozy for addition to the cloud. If you have large amounts of data you want to quickly get into the Mozy cloud, you can order Data Shuttle drives, back your data up to the drives, and send the drives back to Mozy. Mozy will then add the data to the cloud.
- Symlinks to Directories Can Be Backed Up
You can now back up symlinks to directories. Previously, symlinks in backup directories were skipped.
- Increased the Number of File Versions Tracked
The backup software now tracks up to 500 updates to a backed up file before it needs to re-upload the entire file. Previously, up to 50 updates could be tracked. This improves performance by reducing the need to upload an entire file as frequently.
- Added the Ability to Back up and Restore Files with Characters from a Second Locale Codeset
The backup software can now back up and restore files with names that use the system locale codeset and one additional codeset. You can specify the additional, “fallback," codeset using the new msync.localcodeset variable, which is set by default to ISO-8859-1.
