Bug/feature with old backup script

[Sapphyre]

If you are using that old backup script in your CP's, you may want to edit this line in dobackup.cgi [I don't know if all of you have this named the same]

Code: Select all

open(TAR, "$tar_loc cPf $tar_temp $dir/* |");

I discovered the $dir/* is causing it to omit files beginning with a dot - such as .htaccess in this uppermost directory. It was still getting those files beginning with a dot from lower folders.

Code: Select all

open(TAR, "$tar_loc cPf $tar_temp $dir/ |");

Removing the asterisk will cause it to include those files beginning with a dot residing on this uppermost specified folder

Did you tell Ala so that they can roll this out to all of us?

Um, no, I was under tha impression that it is not an Alabanza script. I think it was a Tim someone...
