68 - From Phil Stracchino:
69 It would probably be a per-client option, and would be called
70 something like, say, "Automatically purge obsoleted jobs". What it
71 would do is, when you successfully complete a Differential backup of a
72 client, it would automatically purge all Incremental backups for that
73 client that are rendered redundant by that Differential. Likewise,
74 when a Full backup on a client completed, it would automatically purge
75 all Differential and Incremental jobs obsoleted by that Full backup.
76 This would let people minimize the number of tapes they're keeping on
77 hand without having to master the art of retention times.
79 - Allow multiple Storage specifications (or multiple names on
80 a single Storage specification) in the Job record. Thus a job
81 can be backed up to a number of storage devices.
82 - Implement dump/print label to UA
83 - Add prefixlinks to where or not where absolute links to FD.
84 - Look at Python for a Bacula scripting language -- www.python.org
85 - Issue message to mount a new tape before the rewind.
86 - Simplified client job initiation for portables.
87 - If SD cannot open a drive, make it periodically retry.
88 - Implement LabelTemplate (at least first cut).
89 - Add more of the config info to the tape label.
90 - Implement a Mount Command and an Unmount Command where
91 the users could specify a system command to be performed
92 to do the mount, after which Bacula could attempt to
93 read the device. This is for Removeable media such as a CDROM.
94 - Most likely, this mount command would be invoked explicitly
95 by the user using the current Console "mount" and "unmount"
96 commands -- the Storage Daemon would do the right thing
97 depending on the exact nature of the device.
98 - As with tape drives, when Bacula wanted a new removable
99 disk mounted, it would unmount the old one, and send a message
100 to the user, who would then use "mount" as described above
101 once he had actually inserted the disk.
103 - Make some way so that if a machine is skipped because it is not up
104 that Bacula will continue retrying for a specified period of time --
106 - If tape is marked read-only, then try opening it read-only rather than
107 failing, and remember that it cannot be written.
108 - Refine SD waiting output:
109 Device is being positioned
110 > Device is being positioned for append
111 > Device is being positioned to file x
113 - Figure out some way to estimate output size and to avoid splitting
114 a backup across two Volumes -- this could be useful for writing CDROMs
115 where you really prefer not to have it split -- not serious.
116 - Add RunBeforeJob and RunAfterJob to the Client program.
117 - Have SD compute MD5 or SHA1 and compare to what FD computes.
118 - Make VolumeToCatalog calculate an MD5 or SHA1 from the
119 actual data on the Volume and compare it.
120 - Implement FileOptions (see end of this document)
121 - Implement Bacula plugins -- design API
122 - Make bcopy read through bad tape records.
123 - Fix read_record to handle multiple sessions.
124 - Program files (i.e. execute a program to read/write files).
125 Pass read date of last backup, size of file last time.
126 - Add Signature type to File DB record.
127 - Make Restore report an error if FD or SD term codes are not OK.
128 - CD into subdirectory when open()ing files for backup to
129 speed up things. Test with testfind().
130 - Priority job to go to top of list.
131 - Find out why Full saves run slower and slower (hashing?)
132 - Why are save/restore of device different sizes (sparse?) Yup! Fix it.
133 - Implement some way for the Console to dynamically create a job.
134 - Restore to a particular time -- e.g. before date, after date.
135 - Solaris -I on tar for include list
136 - Prohibit backing up archive device (findlib/find_one.c:128)
137 - Need a verbose mode in restore, perhaps to bsr.
138 - bscan without -v is too quiet -- perhaps show jobs.
139 - Add code to reject whole blocks if not wanted on restore.
140 - Start working on Base jobs.
141 - Check if we can increase Bacula FD priorty in Win2000
142 - Make sure the MaxVolFiles is fully implemented in SD
143 - Check if both CatalogFiles and UseCatalog are set to SD.
144 - Need return status on read_cb() from read_records(). Need multiple
145 records -- one per Job, maybe a JCR or some other structure with
146 a block and a record.
147 - Figure out how to do a bare metal Windows restore
148 - Put system type returned by FD into catalog.
149 - Possibly add email to Watchdog if drive is unmounted too
150 long and a job is waiting on the drive.
151 - Use read_record.c in SD code.
152 - Why don't we get an error message from Win32 FD when bootstrap
153 file cannot be created for restore command?
154 - When Marking a file in Restore that is a hard link, also
155 mark the link so that the data will be reloaded.
156 - Restore program that errors in SD due to no tape reports
157 OK incorrectly in output.
158 - After unmount, if restore job started, ask to mount.
159 - Convert all %x substitution variables, which are hard to remember
160 and read to %(variable-name). Idea from TMDA.
161 - Add JobLevel in FD status (but make sure it is defined).
162 - Make Pool resource handle Counter resources.
163 - Remove NextId for SQLite. Optimize.

225 - Concept of precious tapes (cannot be reused).
226 - Make bcopy copy with a single tape drive.
227 - Permit changing ownership during restore.
229 - Autolabel should be specified by DIR instead of SD.
230 - Find out how to get the system tape block limits, e.g.:
231 Apr 22 21:22:10 polymatou kernel: st1: Block limits 1 - 245760 bytes.
232 Apr 22 21:22:10 polymatou kernel: st0: Block limits 2 - 16777214 bytes.
235 - AutoScan (check checksum of tape)

246 - WriteProtected error
250 - IgnoreCloseErrors=yes
260 - FD sends unsaved file list to Director at end of job (see
262 - File daemon should build list of files skipped, and then

275 verify: backspace, read append block, and go
276 permissive: same as above but frees drive
277 if tape is not valid.
279 - Ensure that /dev/null works
280 - Need report class for messages. Perhaps
281 report resource where report=group of messages
282 - enhance scan_attrib and rename scan_jobtype, and
283 fill in code for "since" option
284 - Director needs a time after which the report status is sent
285 anyway -- or better yet, a retry time for the job.
286 Don't reschedule a job if previous incarnation is still running.
287 - Some way to automatically backup everything is needed????
288 - Need a structure for pending actions:
290 - termination status (part of buffered msgs?)
292 Read, Write, Clean, Delete
293 - Login to Bacula; Bacula users with different permissions:
294 owner, group, user, quotas
295 - Store info on each file system type (probably in the job header on tape.
296 This could be the output of df; or perhaps some sort of /etc/mtab record.
299 - Design at hierarchial storage for Bacula. Migration and Clone.
300 - Implement FSM (File System Modules).
301 - Identify unchanged or "system" files and save them to a
302 special tape thus removing them from the standard
303 backup FileSet -- BASE backup.
304 - Audit M_ error codes to ensure they are correct and consistent.
305 - Add variable break characters to lex analyzer.
306 Either a bit mask or a string of chars so that
307 the caller can change the break characters.
308 - Make a single T_BREAK to replace T_COMMA, etc.
309 - Ensure that File daemon and Storage daemon can
310 continue a save if the Director goes down (this
311 is NOT currently the case). Must detect socket error,
312 buffer messages for later.
313 - Enhance time/duration input to allow multiple qualifiers e.g. 3d2h
314 - Add ability to backup to two Storage devices (two SD sessions) at
315 the same time -- e.g. onsite, offsite.
316 - Add the ability to consolidate old backup sets (basically do a restore
317 to tape and appropriately update the catalog). Compress Volume sets.
318 Might need to spool via file is only one drive is available.
319 - Compress or consolidate Volumes of old possibly deleted files. Perhaps
320 someway to do so with every volume that has less than x% valid
325 Bacula Projects Roadmap
327 last update 8 May 2003
329 Item 1: Multiple simultaneous Jobs. (done)
330 Done -- Restore part needs better implementation to work correctly
331 Also, it needs considerable testing
333 What: Permit multiple simultaneous jobs in Bacula.
335 Why: An enterprise level solution needs to go fast without the
336 need for the system administrator to carefully tweak
337 timing. Based on the benchmarks, during a full
338 backup, NetWorker typically hit 10 times the bandwidth to
339 the tape compared to Bacula--largely. This is probably due to
340 running parallel jobs and multi-threaded filling of buffers
341 and writing them to tape. This should also make things work
342 better when you have a mix of fast and slow machines backing
345 Notes: Bacula was designed to run multiple simultaneous jobs. Thus
346 implementing this is a matter of some small cleanups and
350 Item 2: Make the Storage daemon use intermediate file storage to buffer data.
351 Deferred -- not necessary yet.
353 What: If data is coming into the SD too fast, buffer it to
354 disk if the user has configured this option.
356 Why: This would be nice, especially if it more or less falls out
357 when implementing (1) above. If not, it probably should not
358 be given a high priority because fundamentally the backup time
359 is limited by the tape bandwidth. Even though you may finish a
360 client job quicker by spilling to disk, you still have to
361 eventually get it onto tape. If intermediate disk buffering
362 allows us to improve write bandwidth to tape, it may make
365 Notes: Whether or not this is implemented will depend upon performance
366 testing after item 1 is implemented.
369 Item 3: Write the bscan program -- also write a bcopy program.
372 What: Write a program that reads a Bacula tape and puts all the
373 appropriate data into the catalog. This allows recovery
374 from a tape that is no longer in the database, or it allows
375 re-creation of a database if lost.
377 Why: This is a fundamental robustness and disaster recovery tool
378 which will increase the comfort level of a sysadmin
379 considering adopting Bacula.
381 Notes: A skeleton of this program already exists, but much work
382 needs to be done. Implementing this will also make apparent
383 any deficiencies in the current Bacula tape format.
386 Item 4: Implement Base jobs.
388 What: A base job is sort of like a Full save except that you
389 will want the FileSet to contain only files that are unlikely
390 to change in the future (i.e. a snapshot of most of your
391 system after installing it). After the base job has been run,
392 when you are doing a Full save, you can specify to exclude
393 all files saved by the base job that have not been modified.
395 Why: This is something none of the competition does, as far as we know
396 (except BackupPC, which is a Perl program that saves to disk
397 only). It is big win for the user, it makes Bacula stand out
398 as offering a unique optimization that immediately saves time
401 Notes: Big savings in tape usage. Will require more resources because
402 the e. DIR must send FD a list of files/attribs, and the FD must
403 search the list and compare it for each file to be saved.
406 Item 5: Implement Label templates
408 What: This is a mechanism whereby Bacula can automatically create
409 a tape label for new tapes according to a detailed specification
410 provided by the user.
412 Why: It is a major convenience item for folks who use automated label
415 Notes: Bacula already has a working form of automatic tape label
416 creation, but it is very crude. The design for the complete
417 tape labeling project is already documented in the manual.
420 Item 6: Write a regression script.
421 Done -- Continue to expand its testing.
423 What: This is an automatic script that runs and tests as many features
424 of Bacula as possible. The output is compared to previous
425 versions of Bacula and any differences are reported.
427 Why: This is an enormous help in preventing introduction of new
428 errors in parts of the program that already work correctly.
430 Notes: This probably should be ranked higher, it's something the typical
431 user doesn't see. Depending on how it's implemented, it may
432 make sense to defer it until the archival tape format and
433 user interface mature.
436 Item 7: GUI for interactive restore
437 Item 8: GUI for interactive backup
439 What: The current interactive restore is implemented with a tty
440 interface. It would be much nicer to be able to "see" the
441 list of files backed up in typical GUI tree format.
442 The same mechanism could also be used for creating
443 ad-hoc backup FileSets (item 8).
445 Why: Ease of use -- especially for the end user.
447 Notes: Rather than implementing in Gtk, we probably should go directly
448 for a Browser implementation, even if doing so meant the
449 capability wouldn't be available until much later. Not only
450 is there the question of Windows sites, most
451 Solaris/HP/IRIX, etc, shops can't currently run Gtk programs
452 without installing lots of stuff admins are very wary about.
453 Real sysadmins will always use the command line anyway, and
454 the user who's doing an interactive restore or backup of his
455 own files will in most cases be on a Windows machine running
459 Item 9: Add SSL to daemon communications.
460 Inprogress as of version 1.31.
462 What: This provides for secure communications between the daemons.
464 Why: This would allow doing backup across the Internet without
465 privacy concerns (or with much less concern).
467 Notes: The vast majority of near term potential users will be backing up
468 a single site over a LAN and, correctly or not, they probably
469 won't be concerned with security, at least not enough to go to
470 the trouble to set up keys, etc. to screw things down. We suspect
471 that many users genuinely interested in multi-site backup
472 already run some form of VPN software in their internetwork
473 connections, and are willing to delegate security to that layer.
476 Item 10: Define definitive tape format.
479 What: Define that definitive tape format that will not change
480 for the next millennium.
482 Why: Stability, security.
484 Notes: See notes for item 11 below.
487 Item 11: New daemon communication protocol.
489 What: The current daemon to daemon protocol is basically an ASCII
490 printf() and sending the buffer. On the receiving end, the
491 buffer is sscanf()ed to unpack it. The new scheme would
492 be a binary format that allows quick packing and unpacking
493 of any data type with named fields.
495 Why: Using binary packing would be faster. Named fields will permit
496 error checking to ensure that what is sent is what the
497 receiver really wants.
499 Notes: These are internal improvements in the interest of the
500 long-term stability and evolution of the program. On the one
501 hand, the sooner they're done, the less code we have to rip
502 up when the time comes to install them. On the other hand, they
503 don't bring an immediately perceptible benefit to potential
504 users. Item 10 and possibly item 11 should be deferred until Bacula
505 is well established with a growing user community more or
506 less happy with the feature set. At that time, it will make a
507 good "next generation" upgrade in the interest of data
513 ======================================================
515 It is somewhat like a Full save becomes an incremental since
516 the Base job (or jobs) plus other non-base files.
518 - New BaseFile table that contains:
519 JobId, BaseJobId, FileId (from Base).
520 i.e. for each base file that exists but is not saved because
521 it has not changed, the File daemon sends the JobId, BaseId,
522 and FileId back to the Director who creates the DB entry.
523 - To initiate a Base save, the Director sends the FD
524 the FileId, and full filename for each file in the Base.
525 - When the FD finds a Base file, he requests the Director to
526 send him the full File entry (stat packet plus MD5), or
527 conversely, the FD sends it to the Director and the Director
528 says yes or no. This can be quite rapid if the FileId is kept
529 by the FD for each Base Filename.
530 - It is probably better to have the comparison done by the FD
531 despite the fact that the File entry must be sent across the
533 - An alternative would be to send the FD the whole File entry
534 from the start. The disadvantage is that it requires a lot of
535 space. The advantage is that it requires less communications
537 - The Job record must be updated to indicate that one or more
539 - At end of Job, FD returns:
540 1. Count of base files/bytes not written to tape (i.e. matches)
541 2. Count of base file that were saved i.e. had changed.
542 - No tape record would be written for a Base file that matches, in the
543 same way that no tape record is written for Incremental jobs where
544 the file is not saved because it is unchanged.
545 - On a restore, all the Base file records must explicitly be
546 found from the BaseFile tape. I.e. for each Full save that is marked
547 to have one or more Base Jobs, search the BaseFile for all occurrences
549 - An optimization might be to make the BaseFile have:
555 This would avoid the need to explicitly fetch each File record for
556 the Base job. The Base Job record will be fetched to get the
557 VolSessionId and VolSessionTime.

564 Request For Comments For File Backup Options
567 Subject: File Backup Options
570 A few days ago, a Bacula user who is backing up to file volumes and
571 using compression asked if it was possible to suppress compressing
572 all .gz files since it was a waste of CPU time. Although Bacula
573 currently permits using different options (compression, ...) on
574 a directory by directory basis, it cannot do it on a file by
575 file basis, which is clearly what was desired.
577 Proposed Implementation:
578 To solve this problem, I propose the following:
580 - Add a new Director resource type called FileOptions.
582 - The FileOptions resource will have records for all
583 options that can currently be specified on the Include record
584 (in a FileSet). Examples below.
586 - The FileOptions resource will permit an exclude option as well
587 as a number of additional options.
589 - The heart of the FileOptions resource is the ability to
590 supply any number of ApplyTo records which specify POSIX
591 regular expressions. These ApplyTo regular expressions are
592 applied to the fully qualified filename (path and all). If
593 one matches, then the FileOptions will be used.
595 - When an ApplyTo specification matches an included file, the
596 options specified in the FileOptions resource will override
597 the default options specified on the Include record.
599 - Include records will be modified to permit referencing one or
600 more FileOptions resources. The FileOptions will be used
601 in the order listed on the Include record and the first
602 one that matches will be applied.
604 - Options (or specifications) currently supplied on the Include
605 record will be deprecated (i.e. removed in a later version a
606 year or so from now).
608 - The Exclude record will be deprecated as the same functionality
609 can be obtained by using an Exclude = yes in the FileOptions.
612 The following records can appear in the FileOptions resource. An
613 asterisk preceding the name indicates a feature not currently
617 - Compression= (GZIP, ...)
618 - Signature= (MD5, SHA1, ...)
620 - OneFs= (yes/no) - remain on one filesystem
621 - Recurse= (yes/no) - recurse into subdirectories
622 - Sparse= (yes/no) - do sparse file backup
623 - *Exclude= (yes/no) - exclude file from being saved
624 - *Reader= (filename) - external read (backup) program
625 - *Plugin= (filename) - read/write plugin module
628 - verify= (ipnougsamc5) - verify options
631 - replace= (always/ifnewer/ifolder/never) - replace options currently
633 - *Writer= (filename) - external write (restore) program
637 Currently options specifying compression, MD5 signatures, recursion,
638 ... of a FileSet are supplied on the Include record. These will now
639 all be collected into a FileOptions resource, which will be
640 specified on the Include in place of the options. Multiple FileOptions
641 may be specified. Since the FileOptions contain regular expressions
642 that are applied to the full filename, this will give the ability
643 to specify backup options on a file by file basis to whatever level
652 Include = compression=GZIP signature=MD5 {
661 Include = FileOptions=Opts {
672 That's a lot more to do the same thing, but it gives the ability to
673 apply options on a file by file basis. For example, suppose you
674 want to compress all files but not any file with extensions .gz or .Z.
675 You could do so as follows:
679 Include = FileOptions=NoCompress FileOptions=Opts {
687 ApplyTo = /*.?*/ # matches all files
692 # Note multiple ApplyTos are ORed
693 ApplyTo = /*.gz/ # matches .gz files */
694 ApplyTo = /*.Z/ # matches .Z files */
697 Now, since the NoCompress FileOptions is specified first on the
698 Include line, any *.gz or *.Z file will have an MD5 signature computed,
699 but will not be compressed. For all other files, the NoCompress will not
700 match, so the Opts options will be used which will include GZIP
704 - Is it necessary to provide some means of ANDing regular expressions
705 and negation? (not currently planned)
707 e.g. ApplyTo = /*.gz/ && !/big.gz/
709 - I see that Networker has a "null" module which, if specified, does not
710 backup the file, but does make an record of the file in the catalog
711 so that the catalog will reflect an exact picture of the filesystem.
712 The result is that the file can be "seen" when "browsing" the save
713 sets, but it cannot be restored.
715 Is this really useful? Should it be implemented in Bacula?
718 After implementing the above, the user will be able to specify
719 on a file by file basis (using regular expressions) what options are
720 applied for the backup.

727 For each Incremental job that is run, there may be files that
728 were found but not saved because they were locked (this applies
729 only to Windows). Such a system could send back to the Director
730 a list of Unsaved files.
732 - New UnSavedFiles table that contains:
736 - Then in the next Incremental job, the list of Unsaved Files will be
737 feed to the FD, who will ensure that they are explicitly chosen even
738 if standard date/time check would not have selected them.
739 =============================================================
742 Done: (see kernsdone for more)
743 - Heartbeat between daemons.
744 - Fix Dir heartbeat in restore and verify vol. Be sure to make
745 bnet_recv() ignore BNET_HEARTBEAT.
746 - Implement HEART_BEAT while SD waiting for tapes.
747 - Include RunBeforeJob and RunAfterJob output in the message
749 - Change M_INFO to M_RESTORED for all restored files.
750 - Fix command prompt in gnome-console by checking on Ready.
