  • Add OpenSSL support to client

Changes with client 2.4.2 beta

  • Added Japanese translation (by Ikeguchi Naoki)

  • Added logging about server being rejected
  • Build Linux binaries with Android NDK instead of ELLCC
  • Try connecting to all DNS lookup results in order (A and AAA records)
  • Use heap instead of stack for file indexing recursion (reduces virtual memory used because the index thread stack size is now normal again)

Changes with client 2.4.0 beta

  • Reset reconnect tries if more than 30min between reconnects
  • Only set reconnect_tries to 50 if it wasn’t set higher previously
  • Tool to read volume and write zeros to blocks which cannot be read

  • Functionality to interrupt parallel hash loading threads on clients
  • Don’t parallel hash files smaller than 2048 bytes
  • Add to db if there is a sub-directory because that one can be deleted and should then be removed from the db (Linux/MacOS)
  • Do not quit indexing with “no backup dirs” if components are selected for backup

Changes with Restore CD 2.3.0 beta

Changes with Restore CD 2.2.2 beta

  • Fix GPT restore with restore disk being (slightly) smaller

Upgrade process

As always: Replace the executables (via the installers) and the database of the server/client will be updated on first running it.

Place the files from the update directory into C:\Program Files\UrBackupServer\urbackup or /var/urbackup to auto-update clients. Disable Download client from update server in the server settings to prevent the server from downloading the current version.

On Linux e.g. with this update script: https://github.com/ptempier/get_urbackupclient/blob/master/updateclient.sh

Downgrade process (server)

Stop the UrBackup server, restore C:\Program Files\UrBackupServer\urbackup or /var/urbackup from a backup before upgrade and then install the previous version over the beta release.

Downloads

Compile fine with FreeNAS 11.2 U5. Thanks!
