Package: backup-manager
Version: 0.7.8-1
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
Hello! I'm using backup manager with BM_TARBALL_FILETYPE="tar.gz".
File changes during the backup are recognized as errors despite the
fact that tar return code is "1". This is caused by the bug in
backup-methods.sh: BM__CURRENT_COMMAND variable isn't set properly.
I've made a small patch. I'm not sure how to fix that correctly but
I've tried :) May be it's a good idea to set BM__CURRENT_COMMAND
variable in function __get_backup_tarball_command() but it still
will not work for encrypted archives.
Actually the way backup-manager executes commands doesn't allow to
treat this situation properly: error codes are lost in pipelines.
May be it's better to pass date through FIFO's and get the error
codes separately?
