This reduces chances of errors where consumers of strings mutate inputs
and reduces memory usage of the app.
Test suite passes now, but there may be some stuff left, so we will run
a few sites on a branch prior to merging
tar exits with status 1 when uploads are modified or deleted by a sidekiq job, so we need to treat it like status 0.
According to the documentation it should be safe to ignore status 1 ("Some files differ"):
> If tar was given `--create', `--append' or `--update' option, this exit code means that some files were changed while being archived and so the resulting archive does not contain the exact copy of the file set.
Status 2 ("Fatal error") still results in an exception.
* Dashboard doesn't timeout anymore when Amazon S3 is used for backups
* Storage stats are now a proper report with the same caching rules
* Changing the backup_location, s3_backup_bucket or creating and deleting backups removes the report from the cache
* It shows the number of backups and the backup location
* It shows the used space for the correct backup location instead of always showing used space on local storage
* It shows the date of the last backup as relative date
* Logs exceptions during the cleanup phase, but doesn't stop executing subsequent cleanup tasks.
* Notifies the user at the end of the cleanup phase, so that the log contains possible errors during that phase.
* `rescue nil` is a really bad pattern to use in our code base.
We should rescue errors that we expect the code to throw and
not rescue everything because we're unsure of what errors the
code would throw. This would reduce the amount of pain we face
when debugging why something isn't working as expexted. I've
been bitten countless of times by errors being swallowed as a
result during debugging sessions.
This protects against characters like '&' in passwords. Sometimes you are assigned passwords by idiots or are and idiot that uses pronounceable passwords. Anyways this small change protects against ruby's shell interpreter from background the pg_dump command before it has really started.
