	ChangeLog

older versions (lenny) of lvm2 have a bug in vgcfgbackup that makes it so when you specify multiple volume groups to backup, it gives an error, saying you must set the %s template for the name. We are doing that, it just cannot handle it properly.

This change routes around this issue, which has been fixed in later lvm2 releases, by passing only one argument to vgcfgbackup by taking all the volume groups that are found and running them through a for loop

Removed an extra '.' in file names introduced by the pg_dump options
patch, resulting in names like db..sql or db..sql.gz instead of just
db.sql or db.sql.gz.

Closes Roundup bug #598.

This breaks support of Debian etch.

The format option of pg_dump enables tar and custom archive file formats in
addition to the default plain-text file containing SQL commands.

When either the tar or custom format are selected the behaviour of database=all is changed to no longer dump a single file via pg_dumpall. Instead pg_dumpall
is called once to export the "global" data (roles & tablespaces) and then
pg_dump is called once for each non-template table in the database.

To support the GZIP and GZIP_OPTS variables in backupninja and to give the
default --rsyncable gzip compression flag a chance at working on a PostgreSQL
backup, the custom output is forced to not use compression. Instead compression
is done via a pipe to gzip. Hopefully this benefits rsync and rdiff-backup
style backups for reduced backup and storage costs that outweigh the
restoration ones.

... so that this option can be disabled on systems that don't support it.
This also allows to use another compression program, such as pbzip2 on SMP
machines (closes Roundup bug #2405).

... for rdiff.helper, dup.helper, example.dup and example.rdiff.

... instead of previous /var/backups/duplicity.
