Bug #4371

All techniques should back up all modified/copied files by Rudder
Description
One of the nice features in CFEngine that Rudder uses is the modified files repository. A copy of any files changed (by an edit or a copy) get placed here.
However, for this to work, all files: promises must use either a copy_from body using "copy_backup => timestamp" or a edit_defaults body using "edit_backup => timestamp". This is not currently the case for all Techniques.

Note: we already have several bodies available in the rudder_stdlib.cf to help with this:
body edit_defaults rudder_empty_select(select)
{
empty_file_before_editing => "${select}";
max_file_size => "1024000";
edit_backup => "timestamp";
}
body edit_defaults noempty_backup
{
empty_file_before_editing => "false";
edit_backup => "timestamp"; # we want to keep a track of everything
max_file_size => "1024000";
}
body edit_defaults empty_backup
{
empty_file_before_editing => "true";
edit_backup => "timestamp";
max_file_size => "1024000";
}
And for copy_from, one in cfengine_stdlib.cf:
body copy_from backup_local_cp(from)
# Local copy, keeping a backup of old versions
{
source => "$(from)";
copy_backup => "timestamp";
}
