Description of problem: -------- Symptom -------- Restoring a configuration file to an earlier version from a backup file (/etc/cluster/cluster.conf.bak.1, /etc/cluster/cluster.conf.bak.2, or /etc/cluster/cluster.conf.bak.3) causes an extra backup file to be created because "Send to Cluster" includes saving file, and therefore backing up the file. When you restore a file from a backup file, you need to do a "Save As" from the backup file to /ect/cluster/cluster.conf. To propagate, you must click "Send to Cluster", which automatically saves the configuration file. Therefore, when restoring a file from a backup file you are forced to save the file twice, thereby creating a backup file each time the file is saved. ----------- Workaround ----------- None Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): system-config-cluster 1.0.12 How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. Remove all backup files from /etc/cluster/. 2. At the Cluster Configuration tab, make a change to the configuration. 3. Propagate the change by clicking "Send to Cluster" (acknowledging the resultant dialog boxes with "Yes" or "OK"). 4. Observe that one backup file, /etc/cluster/cluster.conf.bak.1, has been created. 5. Open backup file /etc/cluster/cluster.conf.bak.1: File => Open => /etc/cluster.conf.bak.1 => OK 6. Restore to earlier configuration by saving backup file to /etc/cluster.conf: File => Save As => /etc/cluster.conf => OK, acknowledging resultant dialog box 7. Observe that two backup files exist now: /etc/cluster/cluster.conf.bak.1 and /etc/cluster/cluster.conf.bak.2. 8. Propagate the change by clicking "Send to Cluster" (acknowledging the resultant dialog boxes with "Yes" or "OK"). 9. Observe that three backup files exist now: etc/cluster/cluster.conf.bak.1, /etc/cluster/cluster.conf.bak.2, and /etc/cluster/cluster.conf.bak.3. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info:
