- update to 61.3:
* Reducing power consumption
+ In order to reduce energy consumption, I have implemented new
switches and functions.
`-slow`
`-shutdown`
`-monitor` (Windows only)
+ The `-slow` switch attempts to disable the TurboBoost feature
on modern CPUs, limiting their maximum frequency and, as a
result, reducing energy consumption.
In certain circumstances, when the most relevant phase is
deduplication rather than compression, the operating system
might activate the CPU's maximum power consumption mode
(e.g., calculating SHA1 for file fragments) in a situation
where it is essentially unnecessary.
In these cases, `-slow` can reduce power consumption by up to
30% (at least on modern AMD CPUs; I haven't tested Intel
CPUs), with essentially no slowdown in total execution time
(or at most, a slight percentage decrease). It also reduces
noise on systems with variable power cooling (fans, pumps,
etc.).
The `-shutdown` switch attempts to "mercilessly" shut down
the system after completing an `a` (add) command, which is
used to add data.
- update to 61.2:
* The main new feature of this release is the new `mysqldump`
command, which automatically generates scripts for backing up
MySQL (or MariaDB) databases.
* As usual, the best way to get familiar is to ask for help,
i.e., `zpaqfranz h mysqldump`, or contact me directly or open
an issue on GitHub.
* Wed Mar 12 2025 Andrea Manzini <andrea.manzini@suse.com>
- update to 61.1:
* First Big Thing: SFTP and libcurl
* implemented a minimal interface with the tui command to list files,
select them, and optionally extract them.
* implemented the ls command, which roughly allows you to navigate a zpaq
archive like a filesystem.
* -norecursion with -only in list
* Removed SERVER Code
* Fixed some linuxsettime
- added libcurl as optional dependency
- update to 60.10:
* New switch -tmp (now enabled by default for backups) that names archives
with the .tmp extension during compression before renaming them to .zpaq.
This helps handle cases of shutdown or zpaqfranz crash during archiving
* New flag -notrim that disables the auto-correction mechanism for incomplete
transactions when they are in the last transaction
* New switch -destination in the consolidate command to rename zpaq backup
files
* The "i" (info) command, now shows totals
- update to 60.09:
* Better password handling
* New ZETA hasher / -backupzeta
* new -nomore switch
* IPv6 support (untested)
* Sat Nov 09 2024 Andrea Manzini <andrea.manzini@suse.com>
- update to 60.8:
* -backupzeta
This new switch, to be used in the backup command, generates checksums
on the fly, without reading them at the end of the .zpaq file
creation, saving a lot of time, especially on slow disk drives like HDDs.
The generated checksums are quite robust ("almost" XXHASH64 and CRC-32).
In the future, it will also support encrypted volumes
* Set the creation date of .zpaq archives to 1/1/1980
so it is easy to quickly identify those that were not written completely
* New hash algorithms ZETA and ZETAENC.
Can be selected with -zeta and -zetaenc. You can find the explanation here
https://github.com/fcorbelli/zpaqfranz/issues/139#issuecomment-2425010093
* -destination
With the new switch, it is possible to load a series of lines (from a text
file) as if they were multiple -to options. The explanation is here
https://github.com/fcorbelli/zpaqfranz/issues/136#issuecomment-2422947782
* -nodelete
This switch does not mark files as deleted if they are not found during the
path scan. It is used for bulk manipulation of the file list.
The explanation is here
https://github.com/fcorbelli/zpaqfranz/issues/136#issuecomment-2422947782
* -salt
This switch forces an empty salt (i.e., 32 bytes of zeros). It is something
you should NOT normally use. It serves as a development mechanism
(i.e., it is something that is useful for ME, not for YOU).
* -hdd
With this switch, you use the computer's memory (including virtual memory,
i.e., the swap file) to sequentially write the extracted data. It is useful
if you have a lot of RAM or an SSD system drive and want to extract to an
HDD. In this case, everything will first be decompressed into RAM and then
written to the HDD, without any seeks (head movement) in the output.
It is not suitable for gigantic files, but for medium sizes, it can halve
the extraction time.
* -ramdisk
Internal for -hdd
* fix on -input
Minor bug fixed on Windows
* warnings in yellows Because sometimes colours... counts...
- update to 60.7:
* This release includes numerous new features; hopefully, not too many bugs :)
* The license of one component has been changed to make it compatible with
Fedora policies.
* It's now possible to create a file with a list of errors to reduce
confusion in the logs (-errorlog).
* Captchas can be bypassed using -nocaptcha.
* By default, it now uses the number of physical CPUs (no Hyperthread); you
can use -ht to bypass this and return to the previous method.
* Error messages now appear in red by default.
* zpaqfranz tracks memory usage (more or less) in the very last output line.
* It shows more understandable error messages (!) when running out of memory
due to overly small fragments.
* Output lines have been renumbered.
* With the -input switch, you can load a list of files to be added.
* The -715 switch in the l (list) command restores an output that is nearly
identical, binary-wise, to zpaq 7.15.
* In the sum command, the -home switch replaces -checksum.
* Sat Sep 07 2024 Dirk Müller <dmueller@suse.com>
- update to 60.6:
* Better -stdin management
Now files added with -stdin should be deduplicated as well as
those added manually (up to the previous version the
deduplicator was less efficient, for a whole series of
reasons long to explain)
* New comparehex command
This command performs an operation that happens very
frequently, namely comparing two lines (typically HASH codes)
present in two files. If the codes are the same it exits with
OK. You can also impose the expected length of the hash.
* Counts within more than one file the occurrences of a certain
string, and returns OK if the number is the expected one In
essence, within a log file, it counts how many positive
results there are.
* If you don't select a string to search for, it will use the
default one for OKs with the -big switch
* During program termination with Control-C press, a better
management of the deletion of files created with -chunk is
performed.
* It might also perform rollback of .zpaq files, maybe in the
future.
* Apparently it should work in a portable way across various
platforms, or at least I hope so.
* The problem of terminating a multithreaded system based on a
condition is not trivial, even from a performance
perspective. I used "dirty tricks", we'll see in the future.
* Improvement in the creation of temporary files, for the use
of multiple zpaqfranz processes simultaneously
* Temporary files are created inside different subfolders
(marked with mtime) in order to reduce the risk of
"collision" if multiple zpaqfranz are launched simultaneously.
* Used to automate many convenient functions for backup logs.
* Use -find/replace to fix path (if needed); -ssd for M/T
* The t command (without a path) do NOT read something from
filesystem
* You have to use the t command WITH a path (or use the -verify
switch)
* The brand new -crc32 switch is makes a triple CRC-32
comparing, READING from the filesystem.
* In this case, the -find and -replace switches can be useful
to transform the stored paths into physical paths (if they
are different)
* New -csv and -csvhf switches for l (list)
* -external in add
* hashdeep format
But it's still using zpaqfranz: any bugs could still affect
its reliability
* For delicate situations we use an external program, which
therefore doesn't have the possible bugs of zpaqfranz, such
as hashdeep (in the Windows version hashdeep64 is faster)
