Description Paul W 2008-03-02 10:41:24 UTC

(Virgin bug reporter)
Looks like -g option required for sarab's "sarab.dcf" if upgrading dar to >2.2.6.

Result:
Parse error on command line (or included files): Unknown argument : etc


Prior to dar upgrade, sarab.dcf could contain lines as shown in config example:
--fs-root /
...
etc
home

Post dar upgrade the following is required:
--fs-root /
...
-g etc
-g home


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install sarab-0.2.2-r2. Install dar-2.3.3.
2. edit /etc/sarab/sarab.dcf
3. Add a path to backup as shown in the installed config file, e.g.
...
#[list of paths]
# List directories to back up (relative to fs-root).
# If none are given, everything under root is backed up.
# If directories are listed, only those directories
# will be backed up. Be sure to add quotes around tricky paths.
# Example:
# "mnt/win_d/My Documents/"
etc

4. run /etc/cron.daily/sarab


Actual Results:  
Result:
Parse error on command line (or included files): Unknown argument : etc


Expected Results:  
Creating backup with DAR...


Data loss would come from backups not being done.

This seems to be fixed in sarab-0.2.3. I'll bump it as soon as we could resolve bug 198473.
