1.0.0 / 2022-01-23

  • Don't move $WORKDIR to $TARGETDIR but create the archive from a subdirectory of $WORKDIR instead. This skips an unneccessary full copy if $WORKDIR and $TARGETDIR are on different filesystems. Also the free space needed on $TARGETDIR is reduced.

    !! Because of the additional subdirectory involved, $WORKDIR will
    !! not be the original value that you have set in your
    !! configuration. This might be incompatible if your configuration
    !! does not use the $WORKDIR variable but hardcoded paths. Please
    !! check your scripts!

  • expirebackups(1) can scan different file extensions which is useful if you use alternative archive formats as introduced in v0.3.0. The default is .tar.bz2 like before.
