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:

cd /var/urbackup && wget -r -l1 --no-parent --reject "index.html*" -nH -nd -N https://www.urbackup.org/downloads/Client/2.0.36/update/

Downloads

hello

Just noticed that on v2.0.34.0 the linux scripts shebang is a #!/bin/sh
the scripts in /usr/local/share/urbackup/scripts/
I think it s better to use #!/bin/bash , or at least specify the intended shell
because it s linked to dash on ubuntu for example and both don t behave the same

Does it not work with dash?

on some servers it exit at the first test and on some other ones it exit after the last one (4th)

really if on some exotic system it s aliased to csh or another thing the scripts will explode.
it is always better to specifiy a specific shell

No, there is a shell standard and the scripts should be such that they work in all shells that work with that standard. If there is a specific issue please report it.

I just created my first new client with 2.0.35 and the client exe file did not install the windows service. This install was done on a new laptop, so no previous client exe was installed prior to 2.0.35. To fix it, I simply downloaded the generic client 2.0.34 from the download site. I then installed version 2.0.34 over 2.0.35 without uninstalling the newer version. It seems to work fine, and the client auto updated to 2.0.35.

Thanks for reporting the problem. I rolled back the change that caused this with client 2.0.36.

I think there is a typo in the download link. It looks like the usual link should end in /update/. However, this time you had a typo and it is now /urbackup/.
:slight_smile:

Fixed. Thanks.

uroni,
will you post the 2.0.36RC source on GitHub? I saw 2.0.38RC Server, but not 2.0.36RC Client and frontend-wx.
Thanks!
