15 if the system "sees" a long path once, it seems to forget it's
16 working drive (e.g. c:\), which will lead to a problem during
17 the next job (create bootstrap file will fail). Here is the

97 - Eliminate: /var is a different filesystem. Will not descend from / into /var
98 - Separate Files and Directories in catalog
99 - Create FileVersions table
100 - Look at rsysnc for incremental updates and dedupping
101 - Add MD5 or SHA1 check in SD for data validation
102 - modify pruning to keep a fixed number of versions of a file,
104 - finish implementation of fdcalled -- see ua_run.c:105
105 - Fix problem in postgresql.c in my_postgresql_query, where the
106 generation of the error message doesn't differentiate result==NULL

158 - Why doesn't @"xxx abc" work in a conf file?
159 - Figure out some way to "automatically" backup conf changes.
160 - Add the OS version back to the Win32 client info.
161 - Restarted jobs have a NULL in the from field.
162 - Modify SD status command to indicate when the SD is writing
163 to a DVD (the device is not open -- see bug #732).
164 - Look at the possibility of adding "SET NAMES UTF8" for MySQL,
165 and possibly changing the blobs into varchar.
166 - Ensure that the SD re-reads the Media record if the JobFiles
167 does not match -- it may have been updated by another job.
168 - Look at moving the Storage directive from the Job to the
169 Pool in the default conf files.
171 - Test Volume compatibility between machine architectures

237 - Change dbcheck to tell users to use native tools for fixing
238 broken databases, and to ensure they have the proper indexes.
239 - add udev rules for Bacula devices.
240 - If a job terminates, the DIR connection can close before the
241 Volume info is updated, leaving the File count wrong.
242 - Look at why SIGPIPE during connection can cause seg fault in
243 writing the daemon message, when Dir dropped to bacula:bacula
244 - Look at zlib 32 => 64 problems.
245 - Possibly turn on St. Bernard code.
246 - Fix bextract to restore ACLs, or better yet, use common routines.
247 - Do we migrate appendable Volumes?
248 - Remove queue.c code.
249 - Print warning message if LANG environment variable does not specify
251 - New dot commands from Arno.
252 .show device=xxx lists information from one storage device, including
253 devices (I'm not even sure that information exists in the DIR...)
254 .move eject device=xxx mostly the same as 'unmount xxx' but perhaps with
255 better machine-readable output like "Ok" or "Error busy"
256 .move eject device=xxx toslot=yyy the same as above, but with a new
257 target slot. The catalog should be updated accordingly.
258 .move transfer device=xxx fromslot=yyy toslot=zzz

288 - Possibly allow SD to spool even if a tape is not mounted.
289 - It appears to me that you have run into some sort of race
290 condition where two threads want to use the same Volume and they
291 were both given access. Normally that is no problem. However,
292 one thread wanted the particular Volume in drive 0, but it was
293 loaded into drive 1 so it decided to unload it from drive 1 and
294 then loaded it into drive 0, while the second thread went on
295 thinking that the Volume could be used in drive 1 not realizing
296 that in between time, it was loaded in drive 0.
297 I'll look at the code to see if there is some way we can avoid
298 this kind of problem. Probably the best solution is to make the
299 first thread simply start using the Volume in drive 1 rather than
300 transferring it to drive 0.
301 - Fix re-read of last block to check if job has actually written
302 a block, and check if block was written by a different job
303 (i.e. multiple simultaneous jobs writing).
304 - Figure out how to configure query.sql. Suggestion to use m4:
305 == changequote.m4 ===
306 changequote(`[',`]')dnl
307 ==== query.sql.in ===
308 :List next 20 volumes to expire
310 Pool.Name AS PoolName,
315 [ FROM_UNIXTIME(UNIX_TIMESTAMP(Media.LastWritten) Media.VolRetention) AS Expire, ])dnl
317 [ media.lastwritten + interval '1 second' * media.volretention as expire, ])dnl
321 ON Media.PoolId=Pool.PoolId
322 WHERE Media.LastWritten>0
326 Command: m4 -DmySQL changequote.m4 query.sql.in >query.sql
328 The problem is that it requires m4, which is not present on all machines
330 - Given all the problems with FIFOs, I think the solution is to do something a
331 little different, though I will look at the code and see if there is not some
332 simple solution (i.e. some bug that was introduced). What might be a better
333 solution would be to use a FIFO as a sort of "key" to tell Bacula to read and
334 write data to a program rather than the FIFO. For example, suppose you
339 Then, I could imagine if you backup and restore this file with a direct
340 reference as is currently done for fifos, instead, during backup Bacula will
343 /home/kern/my-fifo.backup
345 and read the data that my-fifo.backup writes to stdout. For restore, Bacula
348 /home/kern/my-fifo.restore
350 and send the data backed up to stdout. These programs can either be an
351 executable or a shell script and they need only read/write to stdin/stdout.
353 I think this would give a lot of flexibility to the user without making any
354 significant changes to Bacula.

365 - Look into using Dart for testing

371 === Migration from David ===
372 What I'd like to see:
375 Name = "<poolname>-migrate"
379 Migration Selection Type = LowestUtil | OldestVol | PoolOccupancy |
380 Client | PoolResidence | Volume | JobName | SQLquery
381 Migration Selection Pattern = "regexp"
382 Next Pool = <override>
385 There should be no need for a Level (migration is always Full, since you
386 don't calculate differential/incremental differences for migration),
387 Storage should be determined by the volume types in the pool, and Client
388 is really a selection issue. Migration should always occur to the
389 NextPool defined in the pool definition. If no nextpool is defined, the
390 job should end with a reason of "no place to go". If Next Pool statement
391 is present, we override the check in the pool definition and use the
394 Here's how I'd define Migration Selection Types:
397 Client -- Migrate data from selected client only. Migration Selection
398 Pattern regexp provides pattern to select client names, eg ^FS00* makes
399 all client names starting with FS00 eligible for migration.
401 Jobname -- Migration all jobs matching name. Migration Selection Pattern
402 regexp provides pattern to select jobnames existing in pool.
404 Volume -- Migrate all data on specified volumes. Migration Selection
405 Pattern regexp provides selection criteria for volumes to be migrated.
406 Volumes must exist in pool to be eligible for migration.
410 LowestUtil -- Identify the volume in the pool with the least data on it
411 and empty it. No Migration Selection Pattern required.
413 OldestVol -- Identify the LRU volume with data written, and empty it. No
414 Migration Selection Pattern required.
416 PoolOccupancy -- if pool occupancy exceeds <highmig>, migrate volumes
417 (starting with most full volumes) until pool occupancy drops below
418 <lowmig>. Pool highmig and lowmig values are in pool definition, no
419 Migration Selection Pattern required.
423 SQLQuery -- Migrate all jobuids returned by the supplied SQL query.
424 Migration Selection Pattern contains SQL query to execute; should return
425 a list of 1 or more jobuids to migrate.
427 PoolResidence -- Migrate data sitting in pool for longer than
428 PoolResidence value in pool definition. Migration Selection Pattern
429 optional; if specified, override value in pool definition (value in
433 [ possibly a Python event -- kes ]

545 - http://www.dwheeler.com/essays/commercial-floss.html
546 - Add VolumeLock to prevent all but lock holder (SD) from updating
547 the Volume data (with the exception of VolumeState).
548 - The btape fill command does not seem to use the Autochanger
549 - Make Windows installer default to system disk drive.
550 - Look at using ioctl(FIOBMAP, ...) on Linux, and
551 DeviceIoControl(..., FSCTL_QUERY_ALLOCATED_RANGES, ...) on
552 Win32 for sparse files.

572 - Implement a mode that says when a hard read error is
573 encountered, read many times (as it currently does), and if the
574 block cannot be read, skip to the next block, and try again. If
575 that fails, skip to the next file and try again, ...
577 create table LevelType (LevelType binary(1), LevelTypeLong tinyblob);
578 insert into LevelType (LevelType,LevelTypeLong) values
582 - Show files/second in client status output.

584 - "Minimum Job Interval = nnn" sets minimum interval between Jobs
585 of the same level and does not permit multiple simultaneous
586 running of that Job (i.e. lets any previous invocation finish
587 before doing Interval testing).
588 - Look at simplifying File exclusions.

591 let it fill itself, and RecyclePoolId = XXX's PoolId so I can
592 see if it become stable and I just have to supervise
594 - If I want to remove this pool, I set RecyclePoolId = MyScratchPool's
595 PoolId, and when it is empty remove it.
596 - Figure out how to recycle Scratch volumes back to the Scratch Pool.
598 - Allow Check Labels to be used with Bacula labels.
599 - "Resuming" a failed backup (lost line for example) by using the
600 failed backup as a sort of "base" job.
602 - Email to the user when the tape is about to need changing x
603 days before it needs changing.
604 - Command to show next tape that will be used for a job even
605 if the job is not scheduled.
606 - From: Arunav Mandal <amandal@trolltech.com>
607 1. When jobs are running and bacula for some reason crashes or if I do a
608 restart it remembers and jobs it was running before it crashed or restarted
609 as of now I loose all jobs if I restart it.
611 2. When spooling and in the midway if client is disconnected for instance a
612 laptop bacula completely discard the spool. It will be nice if it can write
613 that spool to tape so there will be some backups for that client if not all.
615 3. We have around 150 clients machines it will be nice to have a option to
616 upgrade all the client machines bacula version automatically.
618 4. Atleast one connection should be reserved for the bconsole so at heavy load
619 I should connect to the director via bconsole which at sometimes I can't
621 5. Another most important feature that is missing, say at 10am I manually
622 started backup of client abc and it was a full backup since client abc has
623 no backup history and at 10.30am bacula again automatically started backup of
624 client abc as that was in the schedule. So now we have 2 multiple Full
625 backups of the same client and if we again try to start a full backup of
626 client backup abc bacula won't complain. That should be fixed.
628 - Fix bpipe.c so that it does not modify results pointer.
629 ***FIXME*** calling sequence should be changed.
630 - For Windows disaster recovery see http://unattended.sf.net/
631 - regardless of the retention period, Bacula will not prune the
632 last Full, Diff, or Inc File data until a month after the
633 retention period for the last Full backup that was done.
634 - update volume=xxx --- add status=Full
635 - Remove old spool files on startup.
636 - Exclude SD spool/working directory.
637 - Refuse to prune last valid Full backup. Same goes for Catalog.
639 - Make a callback when Rerun failed levels is called.
640 - Give Python program access to Scheduled jobs.
641 - Add setting Volume State via Python.
642 - Python script to save with Python, not save, save with Bacula.
643 - Python script to do backup.
645 - Change the Priority, Client, Storage, JobStatus (error)
646 at the start of a job.
647 - Why is SpoolDirectory = /home/bacula/spool; not reported
648 as an error when writing a DVD?
649 - Make bootstrap file handle multiple MediaTypes (SD)
650 - Remove all old Device resource code in Dir and code to pass it
651 back in SD -- better, rework it to pass back device statistics.
652 - Check locking of resources -- be sure to lock devices where previously
653 resources were locked.
654 - The last part is left in the spool dir.
657 - In restore don't compare byte count on a raw device -- directory
658 entry does not contain bytes.
662 MA = (last_MA * 3 + rate) / 4
663 rate = (bytes - last_bytes) / (runtime - last_runtime)
664 - Max Vols limit in Pool off by one?
665 - Implement Files/Bytes,... stats for restore job.
666 - Implement Total Bytes Written, ... for restore job.
667 - Despool attributes simultaneously with data in a separate
668 thread, rejoined at end of data spooling.
669 - 7. Implement new Console commands to allow offlining/reserving drives,
670 and possibly manipulating the autochanger (much asked for).
671 - Add start/end date editing in messages (%t %T, %e?) ...
672 - Add ClientDefs similar to JobDefs.
673 - Print more info when bextract -p accepts a bad block.
674 - Fix FD JobType to be set before RunBeforeJob in FD.
675 - Look at adding full Volume and Pool information to a Volume
676 label so that bscan can get *all* the info.
677 - If the user puts "Purge Oldest Volume = yes" or "Recycle Oldest Volume = yes"
678 and there is only one volume in the pool, refuse to do it -- otherwise
679 he fills the Volume, then immediately starts reusing it.
680 - Implement copies and stripes.
681 - Add history file to console.
682 - Each file on tape creates a JobMedia record. Peter has 4 million
683 files spread over 10000 tape files and four tapes. A restore takes
684 16 hours to build the restore list.
685 - Add and option to check if the file size changed during backup.
686 - Make sure SD deletes spool files on error exit.
687 - Delete old spool files when SD starts.
688 - When labeling tapes, if you enter 000026, Bacula uses
689 the tape index rather than the Volume name 000026.
690 - Add offline tape command to Bacula console.
692 Enter MediaId or Volume name: 32
693 Enter new Volume name: DLT-20Dec04
694 Automatically selected Pool: Default
695 Connecting to Storage daemon DLTDrive at 192.168.68.104:9103 ...

697 block.c:552 Write error at 0:0 on device /dev/nst0. ERR=Bad file descriptor.
698 Error writing final EOF to tape. This tape may not be readable.
699 dev.c:1207 ioctl MTWEOF error on /dev/nst0. ERR=Permission denied.
700 askdir.c:219 NULL Volume name. This shouldn't happen!!!
701 3912 Failed to label Volume: ERR=dev.c:1207 ioctl MTWEOF error on /dev/nst0. ERR=Permission denied.
702 Label command failed for Volume DLT-20Dec04.
703 Do not forget to mount the drive!!!
704 - Bug: if a job is manually scheduled to run later, it does not appear
705 in any status report and cannot be cancelled.
707 ==== Keeping track of deleted/new files ====
708 - To mark files as deleted, run essentially a Verify to disk, and
709 when a file is found missing (MarkId != JobId), then create
710 a new File record with FileIndex == -1. This could be done
711 by the FD at the same time as the backup.
713 My "trick" for keeping track of deletions is the following.
714 Assuming the user turns on this option, after all the files
715 have been backed up, but before the job has terminated, the
716 FD will make a pass through all the files and send their
717 names to the DIR (*exactly* the same as what a Verify job
718 currently does). This will probably be done at the same
719 time the files are being sent to the SD avoiding a second
720 pass. The DIR will then compare that to what is stored in
721 the catalog. Any files in the catalog but not in what the
722 FD sent will receive a catalog File entry that indicates
723 that at that point in time the file was deleted. This
724 either transmitted to the FD or simultaneously computed in
725 the FD, so that the FD can put a record on the tape that
726 indicates that the file has been deleted at this point.
727 A delete file entry could potentially be one with a FileIndex
728 of 0 or perhaps -1 (need to check if FileIndex is used for
729 some other thing as many of the Bacula fields are "overloaded"
732 During a restore, any file initially picked up by some
733 backup (Full, ...) then subsequently having a File entry
734 marked "delete" will be removed from the tree, so will not
735 be restored. If a file with the same name is later OK it
736 will be inserted in the tree -- this already happens. All
737 will be consistent except for possible changes during the
740 Since I'm on the subject, some of you may be wondering what
741 the utility of the in memory tree is if you are going to
742 restore everything (at least it comes up from time to time
743 on the list). Well, it is still *very* useful because it
744 allows only the last item found for a particular filename
745 (full path) to be entered into the tree, and thus if a file
746 is backed up 10 times, only the last copy will be restored.
747 I recently (last Friday) restored a complete directory, and
748 the Full and all the Differential and Incremental backups
749 spanned 3 Volumes. The first Volume was not even mounted
750 because all the files had been updated and hence backed up
751 since the Full backup was made. In this case, the tree
752 saved me a *lot* of time.
754 Make sure this information is stored on the tape too so
755 that it can be restored directly from the tape.
757 All the code (with the exception of formally generating and
758 saving the delete file entries) already exists in the Verify
759 Catalog command. It explicitly recognizes added/deleted files since
760 the last InitCatalog. It is more or less a "simple" matter of
761 taking that code and adapting it slightly to work for backups.
763 Comments from Martin Simmons (I think they are all covered):
764 Ok, that should cover the basics. There are few issues though:
766 - Restore will depend on the catalog. I think it is better to include the
767 extra data in the backup as well, so it can be seen by bscan and bextract.
769 - I'm not sure if it will preserve multiple hard links to the same inode. Or
770 maybe adding or removing links will cause the data to be dumped again?
772 - I'm not sure if it will handle renamed directories. Possibly it will work
773 by dumping the whole tree under a renamed directory?
775 - It remains to be seen how the backup performance of the DIR's will be
776 affected when comparing the catalog for a large filesystem.
780 How about introducing a Type = MgmtPolicy job type? That job type would
781 be responsible for scanning the Bacula environment looking for specific
782 conditions, and submitting the appropriate jobs for implementing said
786 Name = "Migration-Policy"
788 Policy Selection Job Type = Migrate
789 Scope = "<keyword> <operator> <regexp>"
790 Threshold = "<keyword> <operator> <regexp>"
791 Job Template = <template-name>
794 Where <keyword> is any legal job keyword, <operator> is a comparison
795 operator (=,<,>,!=, logical operators AND/OR/NOT) and <regexp> is a
796 appropriate regexp. I could see an argument for Scope and Threshold
797 being SQL queries if we want to support full flexibility. The
798 Migration-Policy job would then get scheduled as frequently as a site
799 felt necessary (suggested default: every 15 minutes).
804 Name = "Migration-Policy"
806 Policy Selection Job Type = Migration
808 Threshold = "Migration Selection Type = LowestUtil"
809 Job Template = "MigrationTemplate"
812 would select all pools for examination and generate a job based on
813 MigrationTemplate to automatically select the volume with the lowest
814 usage and migrate it's contents to the nextpool defined for that pool.
816 This policy abstraction would be really handy for adjusting the behavior
817 of Bacula according to site-selectable criteria (one thing that pops
818 into mind is Amanda's ability to automatically adjust backup levels
819 depending on various criteria).
825 - Add Pool/Storage override regression test.
826 - Add delete JobId to regression.
827 - Add a regression test for dbcheck.
828 - New test to add bscan to four-concurrent-jobs regression,
829 i.e. after the four-concurrent jobs zap the
830 database as is done in the bscan-test, then use bscan to
831 restore the database, do a restore and compare with the
833 - Add restore of specific JobId to regression (item 3
834 on the restore prompt)
835 - Add IPv6 to regression
836 - Add database test to regression. Test each function like delete,
839 - AntiVir can slow down backups on Win32 systems.
840 - Win32 systems with FAT32 can be much slower than NTFS for
841 more than 1000 files per directory.
845 - A HOLD command to stop all jobs from starting.
846 - A PAUSE command to pause all running jobs ==> release the

852 === From Carsten Menke <bootsy52@gmx.net>
854 Following is a list of what I think in the situations where I'm faced with,
855 could be a usefull enhancement to bacula, which I'm certain other users will
856 benefit from as well.
858 1. NextJob/NextJobs Directive within a Job Resource in the form of
859 NextJobs = job1,job2.
862 I currently solved the problem with running multiple jobs each after each
863 by setting the Max Wait Time for a job to 8 hours, and give
864 the jobs different Priorities. However, there scenarios where
865 1 Job is directly depending on another job, so if the former job fails,
866 the job after it needn't to be run
867 while maybe other jobs should run despite of that
870 A Backup Job and a Verify job, if the backup job fails there is no need to run
871 the verify job, as the backup job already failed. However, one may like
872 to backup the Catalog to disk despite of that the main backup job failed.
875 I see that this is related to the Event Handlers which are on the ToDo
876 list, also it is maybe a good idea to check for the return value and
877 execute different actions based on the return value
880 3. offline capability to bconsole
883 Currently I use a script which I execute within the last Job via the
884 RunAfterJob Directive, to release and eject the tape.
885 So I have to call bconsole "release=Storage-Name" and afterwards
886 mt -f /dev/nst0 eject to get the tape out.
888 If I have multiple Storage Devices, than these may not be /dev/nst0 and
889 I have to modify the script or call it with parameters etc.
890 This would actually not be needed, as everything is already defined
891 in bacula-sd.conf and if I can invoke bconsole with the
892 storage name via $1 in the script than I'm done and information is
895 4. %s for Storage Name added to the chars being substituted in "RunAfterJob"
899 For the reason mentioned in 3. to have the ability to call a
900 script with /scripts/foobar %s and in the script use $1
901 to pass the Storage Name to bconsole
903 5. Setting Volume State within a Job Resource
906 Instead of using "Maximum Volume Jobs" in the Pool Resource,
907 I would have the possibilty to define
908 in a Job Resource that after this certain job is run, the Volume State
909 should be set to "Volume State = Used", this give more flexibility (IMHO).
911 6. Localization of Bacula Messages
914 Unfortunatley many,many people I work with don't speak english very well.
915 So if at least the Reporting messages would be localized then they
916 would understand that they have to change the tape,etc. etc.
918 I volunteer to do the german translations, and if I can convince my wife also
919 french and Morre (western african language).
921 7. OK, this is evil, probably bound to security risks and maybe not possible
922 due to the design of bacula.
924 Implementation of Backtics ( `command` ) for shell comand execution to
925 the "Label Format" Directive.
929 Currently I have defined BACULA_DAY_OF_WEEK="day1|day2..." resulting in
930 Label Format = "HolyBackup-${BACULA_DAY_OF_WEEK[${WeekDay}]}". If I could
931 use backticks than I could use "Label Format = HolyBackup-`date +%A` to have
932 the localized name for the day of the week appended to the
933 format string. Then I have the tape labeled automatically with weekday
934 name in the correct language.
936 - Yes, that is surely the case. I probably should turn those into Warning
937 errors. In addition, you just made me think that it might not be bad to
938 add an option to check the file size after backing up the file and
939 report if it changes. This would be done as an option because it would
942 Kern, good idea. If you do do that, mention in the output: file
943 shrunk, or file expanded, just to make it obvious to the user
944 (without having to the refer to file size), just how the file size
947 Would this option be for all file, or just one file? Or a fileset?
948 - Make output from status use html table tags for nicely
949 presenting in a browser.
950 - Can one write tapes faster with 8192 byte block sizes?
951 - Document security problems with the same password for everyone in
952 rpm and Win32 releases.
953 - Browse generations of files.
954 - I've seen an error when my catalog's File table fills up. I
955 then have to recreate the File table with a larger maximum row
956 size. Relevant information is at
957 http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/Full_table.html ; I think the
958 "Installing and Configuring MySQL" chapter should talk a bit
959 about this potential problem, and recommend a solution.
960 - For Solaris must use POSIX awk.
961 - Want speed of writing to tape while despooling.
962 - Supported autochanger:
970 Wangtek 6525ES (SCSI-1 QIC drive, 525MB), under Linux 2.4.something,
971 bacula 1.36.0/1 works with blocksize 16k INSIDE bacula-sd.conf.
972 - Add regex from http://www.pcre.org to Bacula for Win32.
973 - Use only shell tools no make in CDROM package.
974 - Include within include does it work?
975 - Implement a Pool of type Cleaning?
976 - Implement VolReadTime and VolWriteTime in SD
977 - Modify Backing up Your Database to include a bootstrap file.
978 - Think about making certain database errors fatal.
979 - Look at correcting the time jump in the scheduler for daylight
980 savings time changes.
981 - Add a "real" timer to network connections.
982 - Promote to Full = Time period
983 - Check dates entered by user for correctness (month/day/... ranges)
984 - Compress restore Volume listing by date and first file.
985 - Look at patches/bacula_db.b2z postgresql that loops during restore.
987 - Perhaps add read/write programs and/or plugins to FileSets.
988 - How to handle backing up portables ...
989 - Add some sort of guaranteed Interval for upgrading jobs.
990 - Can we write the state file after every job terminates? On Win32
991 the system crashes and the state file is not updated.
994 Documentation to do: (any release a little bit at a time)
995 - Doc to do unmount before removing magazine.
996 - Alternative to static linking "ldd prog" save all binaries listed,
997 restore them and point LD_LIBRARY_PATH to them.
998 - Document add "</dev/null >/dev/null 2>&1" to the bacula-fd command line
999 - Document query file format.
1000 - Add more documentation for bsr files.
1001 - Document problems with Verify and pruning.
1002 - Document how to use multiple databases.
1003 - VXA drives have a "cleaning required"
1004 indicator, but Exabyte recommends preventive cleaning after every 75
1007 In this context, it should be noted that Exabyte has a command-line
1008 vxatool utility available for free download. (The current version is
1009 vxatool-3.72.) It can get diagnostic info, read, write and erase tapes,
1010 test the drive, unload tapes, change drive settings, flash new firmware,
1012 Of particular interest in this context is that vxatool <device> -i will
1013 report, among other details, the time since last cleaning in tape motion
1014 minutes. This information can be retrieved (and settings changed, for
1015 that matter) through the generic-SCSI device even when Bacula has the
1016 regular tape device locked. (Needless to say, I don't recommend
1017 changing tape settings while a job is running.)
1018 - Lookup HP cleaning recommendations.
1019 - Lookup HP tape replacement recommendations (see trouble shooting autochanger)
1020 - Document doing table repair
1023 ===================================
1024 - Add macro expansions in JobDefs.
1025 Run Before Job = "SomeFile %{Level} %{Client}"
1026 Write Bootstrap="/some/dir/%{JobName}_%{Client}.bsr"
1027 - Use non-blocking network I/O but if no data is available, use
1029 - Use gather write() for network I/O.
1030 - Autorestart on crash.
1031 - Add bandwidth limiting.
1032 - Add acks every once and a while from the SD to keep
1033 the line from timing out.
1034 - When an error in input occurs and conio beeps, you can back
1035 up through the prompt.
1036 - Detect fixed tape block mode during positioning by looking at
1037 block numbers in btape "test". Possibly adjust in Bacula.
1038 - Fix list volumes to output volume retention in some other
1039 units, perhaps via a directive.
1040 - Allow Simultaneous Priorities = yes => run up to Max concurrent jobs even
1041 with multiple priorities.
1042 - If you use restore replace=never, the directory attributes for
1043 non-existent directories will not be restored properly.
1045 - see lzma401.zip in others directory for new compression
1047 - Allow the user to select JobType for manual pruning/purging.
1048 - bscan does not put first of two volumes back with all info in
1050 - Implement the FreeBSD nodump flag in chflags.
1051 - Figure out how to make named console messages go only to that
1052 console and to the non-restricted console (new console class?).
1053 - Make restricted console prompt for password if *ask* is set or
1054 perhaps if password is undefined.
1055 - Implement "from ISO-date/time every x hours/days/weeks/months" in
1058 ==== from Marc Schoechlin
1059 - the help-command should be more verbose
1060 (it should explain the paramters of the different
1062 -> its time-comsuming to consult the manual anytime
1063 you need a special parameter
1064 -> maybe its more easy to maintain this, if the
1065 descriptions of that commands are outsourced to
1067 - the cd-command should allow complete paths
1068 i.e. cd /foo/bar/foo/bar
1069 -> if a customer mails me the path to a certain file,
1070 its faster to enter the specified directory
1071 - if the password is not configured in bconsole.conf
1072 you should be asked for it.
1073 -> sometimes you like to do restore on a customer-machine
1074 which shouldnt know the password for bacula.
1075 -> adding the password to the file favours admins
1076 to forget to remove the password after usage
1078 the protection of that file is less important
1079 - long-listed-output of commands should be scrollable
1080 like the unix more/less-command does
1081 -> if someone runs 200 and more machines, the lists could
1082 be a little long and complex
1083 - command-output should be shown column by column
1084 to reduce scrolling and to increase clarity
1086 - lsmark should list the selected files with full
1088 - wildcards for selecting and file and directories would be nice
1089 - any actions should be interuptable with STRG+C
1090 - command-expansion would be pretty cool
1092 - When the replace Never option is set, new directory permissions
1093 are not restored. See bug 213. To fix this requires creating a
1094 list of newly restored directories so that those directory
1095 permissions *can* be restored.
1096 - Add prune all command
1097 - Document fact that purge can destroy a part of a restore by purging
1098 one volume while others remain valid -- perhaps mark Jobs.
1099 - Add multiple-media-types.txt
1100 - look at mxt-changer.html
1101 - Make ? do a help command (no return needed).
1102 - Implement restore directory.
1103 - Document streams and how to implement them.
1104 - Try not to re-backup a file if a new hard link is added.
1105 - Add feature to backup hard links only, but not the data.
1106 - Fix stream handling to be simpler.
1107 - Add Priority and Bootstrap to Run a Job.
1108 - Eliminate Restore "Run Restore Job" prompt by allowing new "run command
1110 - Remove View FileSet button from Run a Job dialog.
1111 - Handle prompt for restore job at end of Restore command.
1112 - Add display of total selected files to Restore window.
1113 - Add tree pane to left of window.
1114 - Add progress meter.
1115 - Max wait time or max run time causes seg fault -- see runtime-bug.txt
1116 - Add message to user to check for fixed block size when the forward
1117 space test fails in btape.
1118 - When unmarking a directory check if all files below are unmarked and
1119 then remove the + flag -- in the restore tree.
1120 - Possibly implement: Action = Unmount Device="TapeDrive1" in Admin jobs.
1121 - Setup lrrd graphs: (http://www.linpro.no/projects/lrrd/) Mike Acar.
1122 - Revisit the question of multiple Volumes (disk) on a single device.
1123 - Add a block copy option to bcopy.
1124 - Finish work on Gnome restore GUI.
1125 - Fix "llist jobid=xx" where no fileset or client exists.
1126 - For each job type (Admin, Restore, ...) require only the really necessary
1127 fields.- Pass Director resource name as an option to the Console.
1128 - Add a "batch" mode to the Console (no unsolicited queries, ...).
1129 - Add a .list all files in the restore tree (probably also a list all files)
1130 Do both a long and short form.
1131 - Allow browsing the catalog to see all versions of a file (with
1132 stat data on each file).
1133 - Restore attributes of directory if replace=never set but directory
1135 - Use SHA1 on authentication if possible.
1136 - See comtest-xxx.zip for Windows code to talk to USB.
1137 - Add John's appended files:
1138 Appended = { /files/server/logs/http/*log }
1139 and such files would be treated as follows.On a FULL backup, they would
1140 be backed up like any other file.On an INCREMENTAL backup, where a
1141 previous INCREMENTAL or FULL was already in thecatalogue and the length
1142 of the file wasgreater than the length of the last backup, only thedata
1143 added since the last backup will be dumped.On an INCREMENTAL backup, if
1144 the length of the file is less than thelength of the file with the same
1145 name last backed up, the completefile is dumped.On Windows systems, with
1146 creation date of files, we can be evensmarter about this and not count
1147 entirely upon the length.On a restore, the full and all incrementals
1148 since it will beapplied in sequence to restore the file.
1149 - Check new HAVE_WIN32 open bits.
1150 - Check if the tape has moved before writing.
1151 - Handling removable disks -- see below:
1152 - Keep track of tape use time, and report when cleaning is necessary.
1153 - Add FromClient and ToClient keywords on restore command (or
1154 BackupClient RestoreClient).
1155 - Implement a JobSet, which groups any number of jobs. If the
1156 JobSet is started, all the jobs are started together.
1157 Allow Pool, Level, and Schedule overrides.
1158 - Enhance cancel to timeout BSOCK packets after a specific delay.
1159 - Do scheduling by UTC using gmtime_r() in run_conf, scheduler, and
1160 ua_status.!!! Thanks to Alan Brown for this tip.
1161 - Look at updating Volume Jobs so that Max Volume Jobs = 1 will work
1162 correctly for multiple simultaneous jobs.
1163 - Correct code so that FileSet MD5 is calculated for < and | filename
1165 - Implement the Media record flag that indicates that the Volume does disk
1167 - Implement VolAddr, which is used when Volume is addressed like a disk,
1168 and form it from VolFile and VolBlock.
1169 - Make multiple restore jobs for multiple media types specifying
1170 the proper storage type.
1171 - Fix fast block rejection (stored/read_record.c:118). It passes a null
1172 pointer (rec) to try_repositioning().
1173 - Look at extracting Win data from BackupRead.
1174 - Implement RestoreJobRetention? Maybe better "JobRetention" in a Job,
1175 which would take precidence over the Catalog "JobRetention".
1176 - Implement Label Format in Add and Label console commands.
1177 - Possibly up network buffers to 65K. Put on variable.
1178 - Put email tape request delays on one or more variables. User wants
1179 to cancel the job after a certain time interval. Maximum Mount Wait?
1180 - Job, Client, Device, Pool, or Volume?
1181 Is it possible to make this a directive which is *optional* in multiple
1182 resources, like Level? If so, I think I'd make it an optional directive
1183 in Job, Client, and Pool, with precedence such that Job overrides Client
1184 which in turn overrides Pool.
1186 - New Storage specifications:
1187 - Want to write to multiple storage devices simultaneously
1188 - Want to write to multiple storage devices sequentially (in one job)
1189 - Want to read/write simultaneously
1190 - Key is MediaType -- it must match
1192 Passed to SD as a sort of BSR record called Storage Specification
1196 MediaType -> Next MediaType
1198 Device -> Next Device
1200 Allow multiple Storage specifications
1208 Allow Multiple Pool specifications (note, Pool currently
1210 Allow Multiple MediaType specifications in Dir conf
1211 Allow Multiple Device specifications in Dir conf
1212 Perhaps keep this in a single SSR
1213 Tie a Volume to a specific device by using a MediaType that
1214 is contained in only one device.
1215 In SD allow Device to have Multiple MediaTypes
1217 - Ideas from Jerry Scharf:
1218 First let's point out some big pluses that bacula has for this
1220 more importantly it's active. Thank you so much for that
1221 even more important, it's not flaky
1222 it has an open access catalog, opening many possibilities
1223 it's pushing toward heterogeneous systems capability
1225 Macintosh file client
1226 macs are an interesting niche, but I fear a server is a rathole
1227 working bare iron recovery for windows
1228 the option for inc/diff backups not reset on fileset revision
1229 a) use both change and inode update time against base time
1230 b) do the full catalog check (expensive but accurate)
1231 sizing guide (how much system is needed to back up N systems/files)
1232 consultants on using bacula in building a disaster recovery system
1233 an integration guide
1234 or how to get at fancy things that one could do with bacula
1235 logwatch code for bacula logs (or similar)
1236 linux distro inclusion of bacula (brings good and bad, but necessary)
1237 win2k/XP server capability (icky but you asked)
1238 support for Oracle database ??
1240 - Look at adding SQL server and Exchange support for Windows.
1241 - Make dev->file and dev->block_num signed integers so that -1 can
1242 be an invalid value which happens with BSR.
1243 - Create VolAddr for disk files in place of VolFile and VolBlock. This
1244 is needed to properly specify ranges.
1245 - Add progress of files/bytes to SD and FD.
1246 - Print warning message if FileId > 4 billion
1247 - do a "messages" before the first prompt in Console
1248 - Client does not show busy during Estimate command.
1249 - Implement Console mtx commands.
1250 - Implement a Mount Command and an Unmount Command where
1251 the users could specify a system command to be performed
1252 to do the mount, after which Bacula could attempt to
1253 read the device. This is for Removeable media such as a CDROM.
1254 - Most likely, this mount command would be invoked explicitly
1255 by the user using the current Console "mount" and "unmount"
1256 commands -- the Storage Daemon would do the right thing
1257 depending on the exact nature of the device.
1258 - As with tape drives, when Bacula wanted a new removable
1259 disk mounted, it would unmount the old one, and send a message
1260 to the user, who would then use "mount" as described above
1261 once he had actually inserted the disk.
1262 - Implement dump/print label to UA
1263 - Spool to disk only when the tape is full, then when a tape is hung move
1265 - bextract is sending everything to the log file ****FIXME****
1266 - Allow multiple Storage specifications (or multiple names on
1267 a single Storage specification) in the Job record. Thus a job
1268 can be backed up to a number of storage devices.
1269 - Implement some way for the File daemon to contact the Director
1270 to start a job or pass its DHCP obtained IP number.
1271 - Implement a query tape prompt/replace feature for a console
1272 - Copy console @ code to gnome2-console
1273 - Make tree walk routines like cd, ls, ... more user friendly
1274 by handling spaces better.
1275 - Make sure that Bacula rechecks the tape after the 20 min wait.
1276 - Set IO_NOWAIT on Bacula TCP/IP packets.
1277 - Try doing a raw partition backup and restore by mounting a
1279 - From Lars Kellers:
1280 Yes, it would allow to highly automatic the request for new tapes. If a
1281 tape is empty, bacula reads the barcodes (native or simulated), and if
1282 an unused tape is found, it runs the label command with all the
1283 necessary parameters.
1285 By the way can bacula automatically "move" an empty/purged volume say
1286 in the "short" pool to the "long" pool if this pool runs out of volume
1288 - What to do about "list files job=xxx".
1289 - Look at how fuser works and /proc/PID/fd that is how Nic found the
1290 file descriptor leak in Bacula.
1291 - Implement WrapCounters in Counters.
1292 - Add heartbeat from FD to SD if hb interval expires.
1293 - Can we dynamically change FileSets?
1294 - If pool specified to label command and Label Format is specified,
1295 automatically generate the Volume name.
1296 - Why can't SQL do the filename sort for restore?
1297 - Add ExhautiveRestoreSearch
1298 - Look at the possibility of loading only the necessary
1299 data into the restore tree (i.e. do it one directory at a
1300 time as the user walks through the tree).
1301 - Possibly use the hash code if the user selects all for a restore command.
1302 - Fix "restore all" to bypass building the tree.
1303 - Prohibit backing up archive device (findlib/find_one.c:128)
1304 - Implement Release Device in the Job resource to unmount a drive.
1305 - Implement Acquire Device in the Job resource to mount a drive,
1306 be sure this works with admin jobs so that the user can get
1307 prompted to insert the correct tape. Possibly some way to say to
1308 run the job but don't save the files.
1309 - Make things like list where a file is saved case independent for
1311 - Use autochanger to handle multiple devices.
1312 - Implement a Recycle command
1313 - Start working on Base jobs.
1314 - Implement UnsavedFiles DB record.
1315 - From Phil Stracchino:
1316 It would probably be a per-client option, and would be called
1317 something like, say, "Automatically purge obsoleted jobs". What it
1318 would do is, when you successfully complete a Differential backup of a
1319 client, it would automatically purge all Incremental backups for that
1320 client that are rendered redundant by that Differential. Likewise,
1321 when a Full backup on a client completed, it would automatically purge
1322 all Differential and Incremental jobs obsoleted by that Full backup.
1323 This would let people minimize the number of tapes they're keeping on
1324 hand without having to master the art of retention times.
1325 - When doing a Backup send all attributes back to the Director, who
1326 would then figure out what files have been deleted.
1327 - Currently in mount.c:236 the SD simply creates a Volume. It should have
1328 explicit permission to do so. It should also mark the tape in error
1329 if there is an error.
1330 - Cancel waiting for Client connect in SD if FD goes away.
1332 - Implement timeout in response() when it should come quickly.
1333 - Implement a Slot priority (loaded/not loaded).
1334 - Implement "vacation" Incremental only saves.
1335 - Implement create "FileSet"?
1336 - Add prefixlinks to where or not where absolute links to FD.
1337 - Issue message to mount a new tape before the rewind.
1338 - Simplified client job initiation for portables.
1339 - If SD cannot open a drive, make it periodically retry.
1340 - Add more of the config info to the tape label.
1342 - Refine SD waiting output:
1343 Device is being positioned
1344 > Device is being positioned for append
1345 > Device is being positioned to file x
1347 - Figure out some way to estimate output size and to avoid splitting
1348 a backup across two Volumes -- this could be useful for writing CDROMs
1349 where you really prefer not to have it split -- not serious.
1350 - Have SD compute MD5 or SHA1 and compare to what FD computes.
1351 - Make VolumeToCatalog calculate an MD5 or SHA1 from the
1352 actual data on the Volume and compare it.
1353 - Implement Bacula plugins -- design API
1354 - Make bcopy read through bad tape records.
1355 - Program files (i.e. execute a program to read/write files).
1356 Pass read date of last backup, size of file last time.
1357 - Add Signature type to File DB record.
1358 - CD into subdirectory when open()ing files for backup to
1359 speed up things. Test with testfind().
1360 - Priority job to go to top of list.
1361 - Why are save/restore of device different sizes (sparse?) Yup! Fix it.
1362 - Implement some way for the Console to dynamically create a job.
1363 - Solaris -I on tar for include list
1364 - Need a verbose mode in restore, perhaps to bsr.
1365 - bscan without -v is too quiet -- perhaps show jobs.
1366 - Add code to reject whole blocks if not wanted on restore.
1367 - Check if we can increase Bacula FD priorty in Win2000
1368 - Make sure the MaxVolFiles is fully implemented in SD
1369 - Check if both CatalogFiles and UseCatalog are set to SD.
1370 - Possibly add email to Watchdog if drive is unmounted too
1371 long and a job is waiting on the drive.
1372 - After unmount, if restore job started, ask to mount.
1373 - Add UA rc and history files.
1374 - put termcap (used by console) in ./configure and
1375 allow -with-termcap-dir.
1376 - Fix Autoprune for Volumes to respect need for full save.
1377 - Compare tape to Client files (attributes, or attributes and data)
1378 - Make all database Ids 64 bit.
1379 - Allow console commands to detach or run in background.
1380 - Add SD message variables to control operator wait time
1381 - Maximum Operator Wait
1382 - Minimum Message Interval
1383 - Maximum Message Interval
1384 - Send Operator message when cannot read tape label.
1385 - Verify level=Volume (scan only), level=Data (compare of data to file).
1386 Verify level=Catalog, level=InitCatalog
1388 - Add keyword search to show command in Console.
1389 - Events : tape has more than xxx bytes.
1390 - Complete code in Bacula Resources -- this will permit
1391 reading a new config file at any time.
1392 - Handle ctl-c in Console
1393 - Implement script driven addition of File daemon to config files.
1394 - Think about how to make Bacula work better with File (non-tape) archives.
1395 - Write Unix emulator for Windows.
1396 - Put memory utilization in Status output of each daemon
1397 if full status requested or if some level of debug on.
1398 - Make database type selectable by .conf files i.e. at runtime
1399 - Set flag for uname -a. Add to Volume label.
1400 - Restore files modified after date
1401 - SET LD_RUN_PATH=$HOME/mysql/lib/mysql
1402 - Remove duplicate fields from jcr (e.g. jcr.level and jcr.jr.Level, ...).
1403 - Timout a job or terminate if link goes down, or reopen link and query.
1404 - Concept of precious tapes (cannot be reused).
1405 - Make bcopy copy with a single tape drive.
1406 - Permit changing ownership during restore.

1420 - Autolabel should be specified by DIR instead of SD.
1422 - Add media capacity
1423 - AutoScan (check checksum of tape)
1424 - Format command = "format /dev/nst0"
1428 - Seek resolution (usually corresponds to buffer size)
1429 - EODErrorCode=ENOSPC or code
1430 - Partial Read error code
1431 - Partial write error code
1432 - Nonformatted read error
1433 - Nonformatted write error
1434 - WriteProtected error
1438 - IgnoreCloseErrors=yes
1448 - FD sends unsaved file list to Director at end of job (see
1450 - File daemon should build list of files skipped, and then
1451 at end of save retry and report any errors.
1452 - Write a Storage daemon that uses pipes and
1453 standard Unix programs to write to the tape.
1455 - Need something that monitors the JCR queue and
1456 times out jobs by asking the deamons where they are.
1457 - Enhance Jmsg code to permit buffering and saving to disk.
1458 - device driver = "xxxx" for drives.
1459 - Verify from Volume
1460 - Ensure that /dev/null works
1461 - Need report class for messages. Perhaps
1462 report resource where report=group of messages
1463 - enhance scan_attrib and rename scan_jobtype, and
1464 fill in code for "since" option
1465 - Director needs a time after which the report status is sent
1466 anyway -- or better yet, a retry time for the job.
1467 - Don't reschedule a job if previous incarnation is still running.
1468 - Some way to automatically backup everything is needed????
1469 - Need a structure for pending actions:
1471 - termination status (part of buffered msgs?)
1473 Read, Write, Clean, Delete
1474 - Login to Bacula; Bacula users with different permissions:
1475 owner, group, user, quotas
1476 - Store info on each file system type (probably in the job header on tape.
1477 This could be the output of df; or perhaps some sort of /etc/mtab record.
1479 ========= ideas ===============
1480 From: "Jerry K. Schieffer" <jerry@skylinetechnology.com>
1481 To: <kern@sibbald.com>
1482 Subject: RE: [Bacula-users] future large programming jobs
1483 Date: Thu, 26 Feb 2004 11:34:54 -0600
1485 I noticed the subject thread and thought I would offer the following
1486 merely as sources of ideas, i.e. something to think about, not even as
1487 strong as a request. In my former life (before retiring) I often
1488 dealt with backups and storage management issues/products as a
1489 developer and as a consultant. I am currently migrating my personal
1490 network from amanda to bacula specifically because of the ability to
1491 cross media boundaries during storing backups.
1492 Are you familiar with the commercial product called ADSM (I think IBM
1493 now sells it under the Tivoli label)? It has a couple of interesting
1494 ideas that may apply to the following topics.
1496 1. Migration: Consider that when you need to restore a system, there
1497 may be pressure to hurry. If all the information for a single client
1498 can eventually end up on the same media (and in chronological order),
1499 the restore is facillitated by not having to search past information
1500 from other clients. ADSM has the concept of "client affinity" that
1501 may be associated with it's storage pools. It seems to me that this
1502 concept (as an optional feature) might fit in your architecture for
1505 ADSM also has the concept of defining one or more storage pools as
1506 "copy pools" (almost mirrors, but only in the sense of contents).
1507 These pools provide the ability to have duplicte data stored both
1508 onsite and offsite. The copy process can be scheduled to be handled
1509 by their storage manager during periods when there is no backup
1510 activity. Again, the migration process might be a place to consider
1511 implementing something like this.
1514 > It strikes me that it would be very nice to be able to do things
1516 > have the Job(s) backing up the machines run, and once they have all

1522 > mechanism described below would probably make it very easy.
1524 This is the goal. In the first step (before events), you simply
1526 the Migration to tape later.
1528 2. Base jobs: In ADSM, each copy of each stored file is tracked in
1529 the database. Once a file (unique by path and metadata such as dates,
1530 size, ownership, etc.) is in a copy pool, no more copies are made. In
1531 other words, when you start ADSM, it begins like your concept of a
1532 base job. After that it is in the "incremental" mode. You can
1533 configure the number of "generations" of files to be retained, plus a
1534 retention date after which even old generations are purged. The
1535 database tracks the contents of media and projects the percentage of
1536 each volume that is valid. When the valid content of a volume drops
1537 below a configured percentage, the valid data are migrated to another
1538 volume and the old volume is marked as empty. Note, this requires
1539 ADSM to have an idea of the contents of a client, i.e. marking the
1540 database when an existing file was deleted, but this would solve your
1541 issue of restoring a client without restoring deleted files.
1543 This is pretty far from what bacula now does, but if you are going to
1544 rip things up for Base jobs,.....
1545 Also, the benefits of this are huge for very large shops, especially
1546 with media robots, but are a pain for shops with manual media
1550 > Base jobs sound pretty useful, but I'm not dying for them.
1552 Nobody is dying for them, but when you see what it does, you will die
1555 3. Restoring deleted files: Since I think my comments in (2) above
1556 have low probability of implementation, I'll also suggest that you
1557 could approach the issue of deleted files by a mechanism of having the
1558 fd report to the dir, a list of all files on the client for every
1559 backup job. The dir could note in the database entry for each file
1560 the date that the file was seen. Then if a restore as of date X takes
1561 place, only files that exist from before X until after X would be
1562 restored. Probably the major cost here is the extra date container in
1563 each row of the files table.
1565 Thanks for "listening". I hope some of this helps. If you want to
1566 contact me, please send me an email - I read some but not all of the
1567 mailing list traffic and might miss a reply there.
1569 Please accept my compliments for bacula. It is doing a great job for
1570 me!! I sympathize with you in the need to wrestle with excelence in
1571 execution vs. excelence in feature inclusion.
1576 ==============================
1579 - Design at hierarchial storage for Bacula. Migration and Clone.
1580 - Implement FSM (File System Modules).
1581 - Audit M_ error codes to ensure they are correct and consistent.
1582 - Add variable break characters to lex analyzer.
1583 Either a bit mask or a string of chars so that
1584 the caller can change the break characters.
1585 - Make a single T_BREAK to replace T_COMMA, etc.
1586 - Ensure that File daemon and Storage daemon can
1587 continue a save if the Director goes down (this
1588 is NOT currently the case). Must detect socket error,
1589 buffer messages for later.
1590 - Enhance time/duration input to allow multiple qualifiers e.g. 3d2h
1591 - Add ability to backup to two Storage devices (two SD sessions) at
1592 the same time -- e.g. onsite, offsite.
1593 - Add the ability to consolidate old backup sets (basically do a restore
1594 to tape and appropriately update the catalog). Compress Volume sets.
1595 Might need to spool via file is only one drive is available.
1596 - Compress or consolidate Volumes of old possibly deleted files. Perhaps
1597 someway to do so with every volume that has less than x% valid
1601 Migration: Move a backup from one Volume to another
1602 Clone: Copy a backup -- two Volumes
1605 ======================================================
1607 It is somewhat like a Full save becomes an incremental since
1608 the Base job (or jobs) plus other non-base files.
1610 - A Base backup is same as Full backup, just different type.
1611 - New BaseFiles table that contains:
1613 BaseJobId - Base JobId referenced for this FileId (needed ???)
1614 JobId - JobId currently running
1615 FileId - File not backed up, exists in Base Job
1616 FileIndex - FileIndex from Base Job.
1617 i.e. for each base file that exists but is not saved because
1618 it has not changed, the File daemon sends the JobId, BaseId,
1619 FileId, FileIndex back to the Director who creates the DB entry.
1620 - To initiate a Base save, the Director sends the FD
1621 the FileId, and full filename for each file in the Base.
1622 - When the FD finds a Base file, he requests the Director to
1623 send him the full File entry (stat packet plus MD5), or
1624 conversely, the FD sends it to the Director and the Director
1625 says yes or no. This can be quite rapid if the FileId is kept
1626 by the FD for each Base Filename.
1627 - It is probably better to have the comparison done by the FD
1628 despite the fact that the File entry must be sent across the
1630 - An alternative would be to send the FD the whole File entry
1631 from the start. The disadvantage is that it requires a lot of
1632 space. The advantage is that it requires less communications
1634 - The Job record must be updated to indicate that one or more
1636 - At end of Job, FD returns:
1637 1. Count of base files/bytes not written to tape (i.e. matches)
1638 2. Count of base file that were saved i.e. had changed.
1639 - No tape record would be written for a Base file that matches, in the
1640 same way that no tape record is written for Incremental jobs where
1641 the file is not saved because it is unchanged.
1642 - On a restore, all the Base file records must explicitly be
1643 found from the BaseFile tape. I.e. for each Full save that is marked
1644 to have one or more Base Jobs, search the BaseFile for all occurrences
1646 - An optimization might be to make the BaseFile have:
1652 This would avoid the need to explicitly fetch each File record for
1653 the Base job. The Base Job record will be fetched to get the
1654 VolSessionId and VolSessionTime.
1655 =========================================================
1658 ==========================================================
1660 For each Incremental job that is run, there may be files that
1661 were found but not saved because they were locked (this applies
1662 only to Windows). Such a system could send back to the Director
1663 a list of Unsaved files.
1665 - New UnSavedFiles table that contains:
1669 - Then in the next Incremental job, the list of Unsaved Files will be
1670 feed to the FD, who will ensure that they are explicitly chosen even
1671 if standard date/time check would not have selected them.
1672 =============================================================

1711 Unloading Data Transfer Element into Storage Element 15...done
1713 (just to verify it remembers where it came from, however it can be
1714 overrriden with mtx unload {slotnumber} to go to any storage slot.)
1716 There needs to be a table of drive # to devices somewhere - If there are
1717 multiple changers or drives there may not be a 1:1 correspondance between
1718 changer drive number and system device name - and depending on the way the
1719 drives are hooked up to scsi busses, they may not be linearly numbered
1720 from an offset point either.something like
1722 Autochanger drives = 2
1723 Autochanger drive 0 = /dev/nst1
1724 Autochanger drive 1 = /dev/nst2
1725 IMHO, it would be _safest_ to use explicit mtx unload commands at all
1726 times, not just for multidrive changers. For a 1 drive changer, that's
1732 MTX's manpage (1.2.15):
1733 unload [<slotnum>] [ <drivenum> ]
1734 Unloads media from drive <drivenum> into slot
1735 <slotnum>. If <drivenum> is omitted, defaults to
1736 drive 0 (as do all commands). If <slotnum> is
1737 omitted, defaults to the slot that the drive was
1738 loaded from. Note that there's currently no way
1739 to say 'unload drive 1's media to the slot it
1740 came from', other than to explicitly use that
1741 slot number as the destination.AB

1779 Handling removable disks
1781 From: Karl Cunningham <karlc@keckec.com>
1783 My backups are only to hard disk these days, in removable bays. This is my
1784 idea of how a backup to hard disk would work more smoothly. Some of these
1785 things Bacula does already, but I mention them for completeness. If others
1786 have better ways to do this, I'd like to hear about it.
1788 1. Accommodate several disks, rotated similar to how tapes are. Identified
1789 by partition volume ID or perhaps by the name of a subdirectory.
1790 2. Abort & notify the admin if the wrong disk is in the bay.
1791 3. Write backups to different subdirectories for each machine to be backed
1793 4. Volumes (files) get created as needed in the proper subdirectory, one
1795 5. When a disk is recycled, remove or zero all old backup files. This is
1796 important as the disk being recycled may be close to full. This may be
1797 better done manually since the backup files for many machines may be
1798 scattered in many subdirectories.
1803 - Why the heck doesn't bacula drop root priviledges before connecting to
1805 - Look at using posix_fadvise(2) for backups -- see bug #751.
1806 Possibly add the code at findlib/bfile.c:795
1807 /* TCP socket options */
1808 #define TCP_KEEPIDLE 4 /* Start keeplives after this period */
1809 - Fix bnet_connect() code to set a timer and to use time to
1811 - Implement 4th argument to make_catalog_backup that passes hostname.
1812 - Test FIFO backup/restore -- make regression
1813 - Please mount volume "xxx" on Storage device ... should also list
1814 Pool and MediaType in case user needs to create a new volume.
1815 - On restore add Restore Client, Original Client.

1824 - Check if gnome-console works with TLS.
1825 - the director seg faulted when I omitted the pool directive from a
1826 job resource. I was experimenting and thought it redundant that I had
1827 specified Pool, Full Backup Pool. and Differential Backup Pool. but
1828 apparently not. This happened when I removed the pool directive and
1829 started the director.
1830 - Add Where: client:/.... to restore job report.
1831 - Ensure that moving a purged Volume in ua_purge.c to the RecyclePool
1832 does the right thing.
1833 - FD-SD quick disconnect
1834 - Building the in memory restore tree is slow.
