17<h1>Upgrading from 0.06 to 0.07</h1>
18
19<h2>Client</h2>
20
21<p>The following command has been added to the <tt>bbackupd.conf</tt> configuration file:</p>
22
23<pre>
24  SyncAllowScript = /path/to/intepreter/or/exe script-name parameters etc
25</pre>
26<p>Use this to temporarily stop bbackupd from syncronising or connecting to the store.
27This specifies a program or script script which is run just before each sync, and ideally
28the full path to the interpreter. It will be run as the same user bbackupd is running as,
29usually root.</p>
30<p>The script prints either "now" or a number to STDOUT (and a terminating newline, no quotes).
31If the result was "now", then the sync will happen. If it's a number, then the script will
32be asked again in that number of seconds.</p>
33<p>For example, you could use this on a laptop to only backup when on a specific network.</p>

36<h2>Server -- non-RAID configurations only</h2>
37
38<p>Version 0.06 and below had a bug where the space used on the server was incorrect if (and only
39if) you were running it in non-userland RAID mode (that is, only specify one directory to
40<tt>raidfile-config</tt>). Space used would be 50% greater than actually used, meaning that housekeeping would trim files from the accounts prematurely.</p>
41
42<p>This bug has been fixed, but you need to correct the store accounts on the server to get the storage spaced, and hence the housekeeping, working correctly.</p>
43
44<p>Firstly, upgrade the server. Make sure the bbstored daemon is stopped, then for each account do</p>
45
46<pre>
47  /usr/local/bin/bbstoreaccounts check 12345 fix
48</pre>
49
50<p>where 12345 is the account number. Then, start the server again. After housekeeping has run, which will take a few minutes, the accounts should be corrected, and <tt>bbstoreaccounts</tt> and the <tt>usage</tt> command within <tt>bbackupquery</tt> will report the correct size.</p>
51
52<p>RAID disc sets don't need to do this as the bug only affected non-RAID configurations.</p>
