2 Release Notes for Bacula 1.38.6-beta6
4 Bacula code: Total files = 419 Total lines = 137,078 (*.h *.c *.in)
5 20,440 additional lines of code since version 1.36.3
7 !!!! Important !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
8 If you are compiling for a 64 bit machine, you need to ensure
9 that the code is compiled with the -O0 (- oh zero) option otherwise
10 the SD will crash on most all operations -- apparently due to
11 a compiler bug in gcc's 64 bit code generation.
12 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
15 - For autochanger get Scratch tape if in autochanger if
16 no appendable Volumes are available.
17 - New virtual disk autochanger. See scripts/disk-changer for
19 - New optional Device resource directive in SD. 'Device Type =',
20 which may have types: File, DVD, Tape, or FIFO. This can
21 be useful for writing DVDs on FreeBSD where Bacula cannot
22 correctly detect the DVD.
23 - Faster restore tree building and uses less memory.
24 - The command line keyword job (or jobname) now refers to the
25 name of the job specified in the Job resource; jobid refers
26 as before to the non-unique numeric jobid; and ujobid refers
27 to the unique job identification that Bacula creates for each
29 - The job report for Backups has a few more user friendly ways
30 of displaying the information.
31 - The wait command can now be made to wait for jobids.
32 - New command line keywords are permitted in update volume. They
33 are Inchanger=yes/no, slot=nn.
34 - Add two new console commands: enable job=<job-name> and
35 disable job=<job-name>. When a job is disabled, it will not
36 be started by the scheduler. If you disable a job and restart
37 Bacula or reload the .conf file, the job will be re-enabled.
38 - Add a new Job resource directive "enable = yes|no".
41 - Fix race condition in multiple-drive autochangers where
42 both drives want the same Volume.
43 - Do not allow opening default catalog for restricted console
45 - Writable FIFOs now work for restore.
46 - ACLs are now checked in all dot commands.
47 - Multiple drive autochangers and multiple different autochangers
48 should now work correctly (no race conditions for Volume names,
49 update slots use correct StorageId).
50 - Fix bug where drive was always reserved if a restore job failed
51 while in the reservation process.
57 Release 1.38.6 beta6 16Mar06
58 - Fix bug #537 to allow arbitrary time to mount a volume for
59 restore, if polling is turned on.
60 - Disallow multiple storage specifications for a job. Should fix Arno's
62 - Add back a missing store of poolid in jr.poolid.
63 - If dir_user or dir-group is specified in ./configure apply it to
64 the working-dir. Fixes bug #533.
65 - If rescheduling a job cancel the previous incarnation with the SD.
66 Fixes bugs #566 and 557.
67 - Fix bug #567 do_message() definition type conflict.
69 Release 1.38.6 beta5 14Mar06
70 - Add more jcr methods and make mutex and use_count private.
71 - Create lock/unlock methods for jcr.
72 - Fix PostgreSQL bug doing sql_data_seeek() by explicitly reading
73 records to get to seek position.
74 - Integrate patch from bug #561 to correct conio.c signal definitions.
75 - Fix Rescheduling failed Jobs. Ensure that SD message thread
76 terminates correctly by doing pthread_kill(). Do not destroy
77 SD cond wait variable between executions of the job. Use local
78 mutex for cond variable to avoid blocking jcr chain. Fix poor
79 use of jcr use count in jobq.c for restarted jobs.
80 - Fix obsolete usage of foreach_dlist() to use foreach_jcr() in
81 lib/jcr.c -- prevents locking the jcr chaing.
82 - Apply patch from bug #564, which corrects listing volumes with
83 multiple autochangers. Apply same fix to next volume list.
84 - Fix bug #562 where restore bootstrap file is not unique.
85 - Use new routine lock_reservations() to lock the reservations
86 system, and call it while looking for a volume in askdir.c.
87 This could possibly fix bug #543.
88 - Stop SD command loop if job is canceled.
90 Release 1.38.6 beta3 4Mar06
92 - The po files should now be current.
93 - Fix new sql_use_result() code to properly release the
95 - Convert to using new Python class definitons with (object).
96 - Use the keyword ujobid to mean the unique job id; job or jobname
97 to mean the Job name given on the Name directive, and jobid to
98 be the numeric (non-unique) job id.
99 - Allow listing by any of the above.
100 - Add the user friendly job report code for reporting job elapsed time
101 and rates with suffexes.
102 - Add Priority and JobLevel as Python settable items.
103 - Use TEMPORARY table creation where the table is created by
105 - Add new code submitted by Eric for waiting on specific jobid.
106 - Add ACL checking for the dot commands.
107 - Fix restore of writable FIFOs.
108 - Fix a bug in bpipe where the string was freed too early.
111 - Fix bug reported by Arno listing blocks with bls
112 - Update the po files at Eric's request.
114 Release 1.38.6-beta2 25Feb06
116 - Add sql_use_result() define.
118 Changes to 1.38.6-beta1
119 - Don't open default catalog if not in ACL.
120 - Add virtual disk autochanger code.
121 - Add user supplied bug fix to make two autochangers work
122 correctly using StorageId with InChanger checks.
123 - Correct new/old_jcr confusion in copy_storage().
124 - Remove & from Job during scan in msgchan.c -- probably
126 - When getting the next Volume if no Volume in Append mode
127 exists and we are dealing with an Autochanger, search
128 for a Scratch Volume.
129 - Check for missing value in dot commands -- bug fix.
130 - Fix bug in update barcodes command line scanning.
131 - Make sure Pool Max Vols is respected.
132 - Check that user supplied a value before referencing
133 it in restore -- pointed out by Karl Hakimian.
134 - Add Karl Hakimian's table insert code.
135 - Don't ask user to select a specific Volume when
136 updating all volumes in a Pool.
137 - Remove reservation if set for read when removing dcr.
138 - Lock code that requests next appendable volume so that
139 two jobs to get the same Volume at the same time.
140 - Add new Device Type = xxx code. Values are file, tape,
142 - Preserve certain modes (ST_LABEL|ST_APPEND|ST_READ) across
143 a re-open to change read/write permission on a device.
144 - Correct a misplaced double quote in certain autochanger
146 - Make make_catalog_backup.in a bit more portable.
147 - Implement Karl Hakimian's sql_use_result(), which speeds
148 up restore tree building and reduces the memory load.
149 - Correct a number of minor bugs in getting a Volume from
151 - Implement additional command line options for update Volume.
152 - Don't require user to enter a Volume name when updating
153 all Volumes in a pool.
155 Release 1.38.5 released 19Jan06:
156 - Apply label barcodes fix supplied by Rudolf Cejka.
157 - Modify standard rpm installation to set SD group to disk
158 so that SD will by default have access to tape drives.
159 - Allow users to specify user/group and start options
160 for each daemon in /etc/sysconf/bacula file.
162 Changes to 1.38.4 released 17Jan06:
163 - The main changes are to the Director and the Storage daemon,
164 thus there is no need to update your File daemons. Just the
165 same, I do recommend running with the release 1.38.3 Win32
167 - Add two new queries to query.sql provided by Arno. One
168 list volumes known to the Storage device, and the other
169 lists volumes possibly needing replacement (error, ...).
170 - Add periodic (every 24 hours) garbage collection of memory
171 pool by releasing free buffers.
172 - Correct bug counting sized (for display only) in smartall.c
173 - Print FD mempool stats if debug > 0 rather than 5.
174 - Correct bug in alist.c that re-allocated the list if the
175 number of items goes to zero.
176 - Move the reservation system thread locking to the top level
177 so that one job at a time tries all possible drives before
179 - Implement a reservation 'fail' message queue that is built
180 and destroyed on each pass through the reservation system.
181 These messages are displayed in a 'Jobs waiting to reserve
182 a drive' list during a 'status storage='. Note, multiple
183 messages will generally print for each JobId because they
184 represent the different problems with either the same drive
185 or different drives. If this output proves too confusing
186 of voluminous, I will display it only when debug level 1
187 or greater is enabled in the SD.
188 - Add enable/disable job=<job-name>. This command prevents
189 the specified job from being scheduled. Even when disabled,
190 the job can be manually started from the console.
191 - During 'update slots' clear all InChanger flags where the
192 StorageId is zero (old Media records).
193 - Fix autochanger code to strip leading spaces from returned
194 slots number. Remove bc from chio-changer.
195 - Back port a bit of 1.39 crypto code to reduce diffs.
196 - Fix first call to autochanger that missed close()ing the
197 drive. Put close() just before each run_program(). Fixes
199 - Add PoolId to Job record when updating it at job start time.
200 - Pull in more code from 1.39 so that there are fewer file
201 differences (the new ua_dotcmds.c, base64.h, crypto.h
202 hmac.c jcr.c (dird and lib) lib.h md5.h parse_conf.c
203 util.c. Aside from ua_dotcmds.c these are mostly crypto
205 - Implement new method of walking the jcr chain. The
206 incr/dec of the use_count is done within the walking
207 routines. This should prevent a jcr from being freed
208 from under the walk routines.
211 Changes to 1.38.3 released 05Jan06:
212 - This is mainly a bug release fix. In addition, the multiple drive
213 reservation algorithm has been rewritten.
214 - In addition, the method of handling waiting for tapes to be
215 mounted and the mount messages has been modified.
216 (the above two items are a potential source of problems).
217 - Simplify code in askdir.c that waits for creating an appendable
218 volume so that it can handle multiple returns from the wait code.
219 - Modify the wait code to permit multiple returns.
220 - Return a zero when 'autochanger drives' is called and
221 it is not an autochanger.
222 - Make rewind_dev() a method taking a DCR as an argument.
223 This permits closing and reopening the drive if the
224 rewind fails as happens if the drive was loaded while the
225 file descriptor was open. This refreshes the file descriptor.
226 - Remove the ST_OPENED flag and always rely on fd < 0 for knowing
227 if the device is open or not. This should eliminate
229 - Return error if reserve cannot find at least one suitable device.
230 - Make wait_for_sysop() return correct state information.
231 - Fix Win32 state file problem. write was not using compat
232 code. This should fix bug #500.
233 - Modify gui on command to set only GUI mode and not batch.
234 - Modify .messages command to always print messages regardless
236 - If GUI mode is on, suppress automatic printing of
238 - Modify restore command in wx-console to set gui on and to use
239 only .messages instead of messages. Hopefully this fixes bug
241 - Implement load balancing code with multiple drive autochangers.
242 - Rewrite reservation algorithm again. Rename variables to be
243 more logical, add HEARTBEAT with Director, allow cancel of
244 jobs stuck in reservation, add last resourt any_drive.
245 - Fix seg fault if user labels a drive directly bug #513
246 - Remove quotes around Version as it breaks things.
247 - Merge in Aleksandar Milivojevic's mods to the spec file.
248 - Apply sparse code fix for raw drives and fifos. Bug 506
249 - Thorsten fixed Unicode cd problem with wx-console bug 505.
250 - Correct reservation system to do a last ditch try
251 for any mounted volume, then anyone anywhere.
252 - Updates to ssh-tunnel from Joshua Kugler.
253 - Added a report.pl program from Jonas Bjorklund.
254 - Simplify the O_NONBLOCK open() code for tape drives,
255 and always open nonblocking.
256 - Do not wait for open() if EIO returned (shouldn't happen).
257 - Eliminate 3 argument to tape open().
258 - Correct the slot # edited in the 3995 Bad autochanger unload
260 - With -S on bscan (show progress) do not divide by zero.
261 - Make cancel pthread_cond_signal() pthread_cond_broadcast().
262 - When dcr is freed, also broadcast dev->wait_next_vol signal.
263 - Remove unused code in wait_for_device.
264 - Make wait_for_device() always return after 60 seconds of wait.
265 - Use localhost if no network configured
266 - Eliminated duplicate MaxVolBytes in cat update -- bug 509.
267 - Update specs to include mysql4 define.
268 - Return rec->FileIndex in dcr->VolLastIndex for normal
269 and partial records in read_record(). This allows bscan
270 to get FileIndex at EOT correct.
271 - Fix butil.c to correctly set dcr -- fixes seg fault in bls.
272 - Apply patch supplied by user (slightly modified) to fix
273 correct detection of holes in block devices and FIFOs.
275 - Apply patch supplied by user (slightly modified)
276 to fix SD hang with multiple pools and bad client
278 - Add nagios plugin to the examples directory. Submitted by
280 - Remove warning message about multiple saves of hardlinked files
281 from find_one.c as it can generate too many warning messages.
282 - Reset timeout values before select() per patch from
283 Frank Sweetser for problems with non-blocking sockets.
284 - Unlink the state file if either reading or writing it gets
285 errors. Hopefully this will fix Win32 exit problems.
286 - Get next volume from Scratch pool before creating a volume.
287 - Set new Pool defaults in Vol when moved from Scratch Pool.
288 - Remove argument from create_bacula_database for SQLite as it
290 - Fix reservation so that mutexes are properly applied.
291 - Rework reservation algorithm so that two drives can be used
293 - Apply days keyword patch from Alexander.Bergolth at wu-wien.ac.at
294 If this patch is applied, the number of days can be specified with
295 'list nextvol days=xx'
298 My use case is to be able to preview the next scheduled job (and the
299 next tape to be used) on fridays if there are no scheduled jobs during
301 - Fix font code in gnome2 console user patch. Fixes bug #501.
302 - Fix malformatted bnet error message that caused seg fault
304 - Applied user patch to improve README.vc8 in src/win32.
305 - Ensure that StorageId is stored in Media record when ever possible.
306 - Remove old code from winservice.cpp
307 - Break on error in scan.
308 - Fix typo in signal.c
309 - Separate read/write DCR in SD. Add jcr->read_dcr.
310 - Cleanup how find_device() works.
311 - Remove abs() in bfile.c so that it compiles on Solaris. Bug #491.
314 - Fix crash in tray-monitor when daemon disconnects. Bug #479.
315 - Fix bnet-server bug found on OpenBSD. Bug #486
316 - Fix cancel failure bug. Bug #481
317 - Fix failure when Pool name has spaces. Bug #487
318 - Fix SD crash in autochanger code. Mutex failure. Bug #488

320 - Fix memory overrun in bfile.c in building OS X resource
321 fork filename. Bug #489
322 - Add Pool name to SD status output.
323 - Add Python install dir for Solaris to configure. Bug #492
326 - Corrected ACL for Solaris (David Duchscher and Attila Fulop).
327 - Add bacula_mail_summary.sh to examples directory. It makes
328 a single email summary of any number of jobs. Submitted
330 - Unmount command now unloads autochanger.

334 - Fix autostart install for FreeBSD (user reported)
335 - Fix several problems with PostgreSQL scripts (Eric Bollinger)
336 - Critical: allow restore of the first file of non-portable Win32 backup.
337 - Important: with muliple concurrent jobs the autochanger could get
338 confused because of a missing mutex.
339 - Fix accessing last slot in label and update slots.
340 - Modify configure.in to add execute option to sqlite3 catalog
342 - Create update_xxx_table_8_to_9 scripts for updatedb
343 - Move the -lcrypt for PostgreSQL after the PostgreSQL libs in
344 autoconf/bacula-macros/db.m4 as suggested by user. Fixes bug #457.
345 - Remove @STATIC_CONS@ from tray-monitor Makefile as suggested
346 by user. Fixes bug #456.
347 - AMD64 users see compiler bug warning below!!!!!!!!!
349 Major Changes in 1.38:
350 - Fixed out of order Volumes in restore.
351 - Improved algorithm for reserving drives in multiple drive
352 autochangers. Autochange users MUST use the new Autochanger
353 resource in the Storage daemon.
354 - There is a new database format that is not compatible
355 with previous databases. You must upgrade if converting
356 from 1.36.x. No changes from version 1.37.30.
357 - The Director, Storage daemon, and File daemons are
358 Deamons are not compatible with prior versions.
359 All FDs must be upgraded at the same time.
360 - Support for ANSI/IBM labels.
361 - Faster database inserts due to combining the MD5/SHA1 into
362 the attributes record, eliminating one INSERT/file backed up.
363 - Python Event support has been added. See below for
364 configuration and details. The implementation is somewhat minimal,
365 so the functionality is not complete. The Python interface
366 has not been extensively tested, so please consider it BETA.
367 - DVD writing support, using parts, and some new directives in
368 the Device resource of the Storage configuration file thanks
369 to Nicolas Boichat. Please note that this code is still
370 BETA and should be carefully tested before using in
372 - Seven new options keywords in a FileSet resource:
373 ignorecase, fstype, hfsplussupport, wilddir, wildfile, regexdir,
374 and regexfile thanks to Pruben Guldberg). See below for details.
375 - Restore of all files for a Job or set of jobs even if the file
376 records have been removed from the catalog.
377 - Restore of a directory (non-recursive, i.e. only one level).
378 - Support for TLS (ssl) between all the daemon connections thanks
380 - Any Volume in the Pool named Scratch may be reassigned to any
381 other Pool when a new Volume is needed.
382 - You may clone a Job and thus write (almost) the same data
383 to multiple Volumes simultaneously (see below). Actually,
384 any Job may start any other Job with this mechanism, so it
385 also be used to group jobs.
386 - Unicode filename support for Win32 (thanks to Thorsten Engel)
387 - Volume Shadow Copy support for Win32 thus the capability to
388 backup exclusively opened files (thanks to Thorsten Engel).
389 A VSS enabled Win32 FD is available. You must explicitly
390 turn on VSS with 'Enable VSS = yes' in your FileSet resource.
391 - New manual format with an index (thanks to Karl Cunningham).
392 - New Web site format (thanks to Michael Scherer).
394 - Web-bacula, previously a separate project by Juan Luis Frances,
395 is now included in the Bacula GUI release. This is a management
396 level tool for reporting the state of Bacula jobs.
397 - The code is now Internationalized so that it can be localized
398 in native languages. Thanks to Nicolas Boichat.
401 - New Job directive 'Prefer Mounted Volumes = yes|no' causes the
402 SD to select either an Autochanger or a drive with a valid
403 Volume already mounted in preference. If none is available,
404 it will select the first available drive.
405 - New Run directive in Job resource of DIR. It permits
406 cloning of jobs. To clone a copy of the current job, use
407 Run = 'job-name level=%l since=\'%s\''
408 Note, job-name is normally the same name as the job that
409 is running but there is no restriction on what you put. If you
410 want to start the job by hand and use job overrides such as
411 storage=xxx, realize that the job will be started with the
412 default storage values not the overrides. The level=%l guarantees
413 that the chosen level of the job is the same, and the since=...
414 ensures that the job uses *exactly* the same time/date for incremental
415 and differential jobs. The since=... is ignored when level=Full.
416 A cloned job will not start additional clones, so it is not possible
418 - New Options keywords in a FileSet directive (backported to 1.36.3):
420 Will do a wild card match against directories (files will not
423 Will do a wild card match against files (directories will not
426 Will do a regular expression match against directories (files
427 will not be matched).
429 Will do a regular expression match against files( directories
430 will not be matched).
431 - IgnoreCase = yes | no
432 Will ignore case in wild card and regular expression matches.
433 This is handy for Windows where filename case is not significant.
435 where string is a filesystem type: ext2, jfs, ntfs, proc,
436 reiserfs, xfs, usbdevfs, sysfs, smbfs, iso9660. For ext3
437 systems, use ext2. You may have multiple fstype directives
438 and thus permit multiple filesystem types. If the type
439 specified on the fstype directive does not match the
440 filesystem for a particular directive, that directory will
441 not be backed up. This directive can be used to prevent
442 backing up non-local filesystems.
443 - HFS Plus Support = yes | no
444 If set, Mac OS X resource forks will be saved and restored.
445 - Label Type = ANSI | IBM | Bacula
446 Implemented in Director Pool resource and in SD Device resource.
447 If it is specified in the SD Device resource, it will take
448 precedence over the value passed from the Director to the SD.
449 - Check Labels = yes | no
450 Implemented in the SD Device resource. If you intend to read
451 ANSI or IBM labels, this *must* be set. Even if the volume
452 is not ANSI labeled, you can set this to yes, and Bacula will
453 check the label type.
454 - Scripts Directory = <directory> name. Defines the directory from
455 which Bacula scripts will be called for events. In fact, Bacula
456 appends this name to the standard Python list of search directories,
457 so the script could also be in any of the Python system directories.
458 - In FileSet, you can exclude backing up of hardlinks (if you have
459 a lot, it can be very expensive), by using:
461 in the Options section. Patch supplied by David R Bosso. Thanks.
462 - MaximumPartSize = bytes (SD, Device resource)
463 Defines the maximum part size.
464 - Requires Mount = Yes/No (SD, Device resource)
465 Defines if the device require to be mounted to be read, and if it
466 must be written in a special way. If it set, the following directives
467 must be defined in the same Device resource:
468 + Mount Point = directory
469 Directory where the device must be mounted.
470 + Mount Command = name-string
471 Command that must be executed to mount the device. Before the command
472 is executed, %a is replaced with the Archive Device, and %m with the
474 + Unmount Command = name-string
475 Command that must be executed to unmount the device. Before the
476 command is executed, %a is replaced with the Archive Device, and
477 %m with the Mount Point.
478 + Write Part Command = name-string
479 Command that must be executed to write a part to the device. Before
480 the command is executed, %a is replaced with the Archive Device, %m
481 with the Mount Point, %n with the current part number (0-based),
482 and %v with the current part filename.
483 + Free Space Command = name-string
484 Command that must be executed to check how much free space is left
485 on the device. Before the command is executed, %a is replaced with
486 the Archive Device, %m with the Mount Point, %n with the current part
487 number (0-based), and %v with the current part filename.
488 - Write Part After Job = Yes/No (DIR, Job Resource, and Schedule Resource)
489 If this directive is set to yes (default no), a new part file will be
490 created after the job is finished.
491 - A pile of new Directives to support TLS. Please see the TLS chapter
495 - 'python restart' restarts the Python interpreter. Rather brutal, make
496 sure no Python scripts are running. This permits you to change
497 a Python script and get Bacula to use the new script.
499 New configure options:
500 - --with-libintl-prefix for defining alternate locations for
501 the NLS internationalization libraries. Not normally required.
502 - --datadir for defining where the language files will be installed
503 required only if you do not want the default /usr/share.
506 - The Storage daemon now keeps track of what tapes it is using
507 (was not the case in 1.36.x). This means that you must be much
508 more careful when removing tapes and putting up a new one. In
509 general, you should always do a 'unmount' prior to removing a
510 tape, and a 'mount' after putting a new one into the drive.
511 - If you use an Autochanger, you MUST update your SD conf file
512 to use the new Autochanger resource. Otherwise, certain commands
513 such as 'update slots' may not work.
514 - You must add --with-python=[DIR] to the configure command line
515 if you want Python support. Python 2.2, 2.3 and 2.4 should be
516 automatically detected if in the standard place.
517 - When linking with --with-python, there are a few warnings that
519 - You must either create a new catalog database or upgrade your
520 old database. After installation, run from your scripts
523 ./upgrade_bacula_tables
525 You can also find this script in the <bacula-source>/src/cats
527 - The Director, Storage daemon, and File daemons are
528 Deamons are not compatible with prior versions.
529 All FDs must be upgraded at the same time.
530 - You must add --with-openssl to the configure command line if
531 you want TLS communications encryption support.
532 - Disk seeking during restores does not yet work correctly in
533 all cases, so it is turned off.
534 - Note, with gcc (GCC) 4.0.1 20050727 (Red Hat 4.0.1-5) on an
535 AMD64 CPU running 64 bit CentOS4, there is a compiler bug that
536 generates bad code that causes Bacula to segment fault.
537 Typically you will see this in the Storage daemon first. The
538 solution is to compile Bacula ensuring that no optimization is
539 turned on (normally it is -O2).
540 This same compiler bug has been reported and confirmed with
541 gcc (GCC) 4.0.2 20050901 (prerelease) (SUSE Linux) running on
542 an AMD64 CPU. This for the moment, I would recommend that all
543 users of GCC 4.0.1 or greater turn off all optimization when
548 - Security fixes for temp files created in mtx-changer, during
549 ./configure, and during making of Rescue disk.
550 - A new script, dvd-handler, in the scripts directory,
551 which is designed to be used as parameters to Write Part Command and
552 Free Space Command. They need the dvd+rw-tools to be installed
553 (http://fy.chalmers.se/~appro/linux/DVD+RW/) AND, the growisofs
554 program must be patched using the
555 <bacula-source>/patches/dvd+rw-tools-5.21.4.10.8.bacula.patch
556 You must have Python installed to run the scripts.
557 - Part files support: File volumes can now be split into multiple
558 files, called 'parts'.
559 - For the details of the Python scripting support, please see the new
560 Python Scripting chapter in the manual.
561 - The default user/group for the Director and Storage daemon installed
562 by rpms is bacula/bacula, thus you may need to add additional permissions
563 to your database, or modify the permissions of the tape drive. If
564 all else fails, change to using user=root. However, it is more secure
