Package: backup2l
Version: 1.4
Severity: important
Tags: l10n
I'm using a driver for pigz (sid) in backup2l.conf. Occasionally files
are excluded from the backup because they contain utf8 or other
unrecognized file names. This seems related to the pipe between tar
and pigz or other external archiving utilities.
Reproduce:
install console-tools
backup /usr/share/doc/console-tools using the driver below or afzio.
Driver example:
DRIVER_TAR_GZ_PIGZ () {
# NOTES: USE ONLY WITH MULTI CORE CPU
# REQUIRES YOU TO DOWNLOAD AND COMPILE PIGZ
# http://www.zlib.net/pigz/
# Copy it to your system path somewhere; eg /usr/bin/pigz
# Create uses PIGZ for threaded, multi file compression
# Extract uses standard tar xz so you can restore without pigz
#
# Create compression and threads can be altered by changing the create
line.
## minimum compression example: tar cf - --files-from=$4 | pigz -0 > $3
2>&1
## maximum compression example: tar cf - --files-from=$4 | pigz -9 > $3
2>&1
## default compression example: tar cf - --files-from=$4 | pigz > $3
2>&1
## limit threads to 2 : tar cf - --files-from=$4 | pigz -p 2 > $3 2>&1
## use larger block size: tar cf - --files-from=$4 | pigz -b 256 > $3
2>&1
