[bm-users] Backup Manager 0.7.3 Released

[Alexis Sukrieh]

Hi,

I'm glad to announce the release of Backup Manager 0.7.3 (devel branch).
This release is quite focused on remote magic: you'll have two new upload 
methods and a way to build locally archives of remote places through
SSH.

I hope you will enjoy this new tarball, thanks for trusting our work.


Release notes:

This release provides two new upload methods. The first one is called "ssh-gpg"
and lets you upload your locally-built archives to untrusted remote places.
During the upload (permormed with SSH), the archives are encrypted using GPG.
The other one, called "s3" is able to upload your archives to the Amazon S3
Storage service (if you have a valid account). This release also comes with a
couple of bug fixes (filenames with spaces are now fully supported) and
provides some other new features (new options).


Changelog:

    * New Features:
	+ New upload method: ssh-gpg (upload backups encrypted
	  on-the-fly with GPG).  Thanks to Jan Metzger for his work.
        + New upload method: Support for the Amazon S3 Web Service.
          Thanks to Brad Dixon for his work.
	+ New option for the tarball generation: possible to build
	  archives over SSH (thanks to the new variable
          BM_TARBALL_OVER_SSH).  + Possible to choose which permissions to
	  set on the repository/archives when using the secure mode.
        + New configuration variable "BM_UPLOAD_TTL" so remote archives can 
	  live longer than local ones.
          
    * Bug Fixes:
        + Possible to enable FTP passive uploads for boxes behind a firewall.
        + The .md5 files are not left on remote servers anymore during the FTP 
          purging phase.
        + Bugfix in the duplicates purging system.
        + The burning system can now safely burn archives in non-interactive
          mode. 
        + Support for targets to backup with spaces in their names.
        
    * Changes:
        + The variable BM_TARBALL_DIRECTORIES is deprecated, it's replaced by 
          the array BM_TARBALL_TARGETS[]; so paths with spaces can be safely
          handled.
        + Full backups are now named differently than incremental ones: the
          suffix "master" is appended to them.
        + During the purging phase, masters aren't purged unless a newer master
          is present.
