  • Added --help/docs to omnipitr-backup-cleanup

2013-12-13

  • Added omnipitr-backup-cleanup - program to remove old backups, and xlogs from walarchive, leaving consistent state (all backups can be restored using xlogs from walarchive).

2013-12-12

  • Added timezone and hostname information to meta files

2013-12-10

  • change retention of error messages in omnipitr-monitor cache to 3 days (from 30). This is to make sure that the cache file will not be too big.

2013-11-29

  • *meta* files are generated for backups. These files contain information when backup has started, and what is the minimal xlog file required for recovery from it.

2013-08-23

  • Release of version 1.2.0

  • --dst-pipe for omnipitr-backup-master, omnipitr-backup-slave and omnipitr-archive

2013-04-01

  • Release of version 1.1.0, including all changes since release 1.0.0

2012-12-11

  • Provide support for --help option

  • Add support for config file

2012-12-04

  • Make temp directories based on PID, to allow easy running (for example) 2 slaves on the same machine.

2012-12-04

  • Add option to make omnipitr-restore able to remove files from walarchive before serving next xlog to PostgreSQL. This is important in cases where slave falls back a lot, and it's catching up - but it doesn't start to remove old, obsolete wal segments before it will fully catch up. Now, with new option (--remove-before) it will delete old wal segments during catchup phase too.

2012-08-08

  • Make sanity-check.sh return sensible exit code - pull from François Beausoleil ( https://github.com/francois )

2012-08-08

  • Finally omnipitr-monitor is working

  • Release version 0.3.0

  • Added omnipitr-synch program, to send PostgreSQL data in sane way to remote machines (for example to setup new slave).

  • Fix slave backup on 9.0 systems (new option, -cm)

2010-09-10
