Comment(by sphery <mtdean at thirdcontact.com>):
Updated patches attached.
mythtv-4760-database_backup_using_script-20080627.patch was updated for
changes to trunk. mythtv-4760-database_backup_scripts-20080627.patch adds
new features.
database_mythconverg_backup.pl:
- Backup DB ( http://mythtv.org/docs/mythtv-HOWTO-23.html#ss23.5 )
- Compresses backup
- Rotates backups
- Allows backing up xmltvid data (i.e. for before rescanning
channels)
- Includes $VERSION and $NAME
- Supports the "-v" option used by MythWeather scripts (for
updates
through services.mythtv.org )
database_mythconverg_restore.pl:
- Restores backup
( http://mythtv.org/docs/mythtv-HOWTO-23.html#ss23.5 )
- Uncompresses compressed backups
- Supports "new hardware" partial restores
( http://mythtv.org/docs/mythtv-HOWTO-23.html#ss23.7 )
- Allows restoring plugin data when doing "new hardware"/partial
restores
- Supports restoring xmltvid data
- Supports --change_hostname (instead of
http://mythtv.org/docs/mythtv-HOWTO-23.html#ss23.15 )
- Includes $VERSION and $NAME
- Supports the "-v" option used by MythWeather scripts (for
updates
through services.mythtv.org )
Patches are ready to apply (no new features are planned). I recommend the
committer not worry about testing all script features (as it takes
forever). I've done a /lot/ of testing on it (and have had help from
several users) and will be very responsive to questions/comments/bug
reports I see on the list or here.
