-
-Major Changes in 1.38:
-- Fixed out of order Volumes in restore.
-- Improved algorithm for reserving drives in multiple drive
- autochangers. Autochange users MUST use the new Autochanger
- resource in the Storage daemon.
-- There is a new database format that is not compatible
- with previous databases. You must upgrade if converting
- from 1.36.x. No changes from version 1.37.30.
-- The Director, Storage daemon, and File daemons are
- Deamons are not compatible with prior versions.
- All FDs must be upgraded at the same time.
-- Support for ANSI/IBM labels.
-- Faster database inserts due to combining the MD5/SHA1 into
- the attributes record, eliminating one INSERT/file backed up.
-- Python Event support has been added. See below for
- configuration and details. The implementation is somewhat minimal,
- so the functionality is not complete. The Python interface
- has not been extensively tested, so please consider it BETA.
-- DVD writing support, using parts, and some new directives in
- the Device resource of the Storage configuration file thanks
- to Nicolas Boichat. Please note that this code is still
- BETA and should be carefully tested before using in
- production.
-- Seven new options keywords in a FileSet resource:
- ignorecase, fstype, hfsplussupport, wilddir, wildfile, regexdir,
- and regexfile thanks to Pruben Guldberg). See below for details.
-- Restore of all files for a Job or set of jobs even if the file
- records have been removed from the catalog.
-- Restore of a directory (non-recursive, i.e. only one level).
-- Support for TLS (ssl) between all the daemon connections thanks
- to Landon Fuller.
-- Any Volume in the Pool named Scratch may be reassigned to any
- other Pool when a new Volume is needed.
-- You may clone a Job and thus write (almost) the same data
- to multiple Volumes simultaneously (see below). Actually,
- any Job may start any other Job with this mechanism, so it
- also be used to group jobs.
-- Unicode filename support for Win32 (thanks to Thorsten Engel)
-- Volume Shadow Copy support for Win32 thus the capability to
- backup exclusively opened files (thanks to Thorsten Engel).
- A VSS enabled Win32 FD is available. You must explicitly
- turn on VSS with 'Enable VSS = yes' in your FileSet resource.
-- New manual format with an index (thanks to Karl Cunningham).
-- New Web site format (thanks to Michael Scherer).
-- SQLite3 support.
-- Web-bacula, previously a separate project by Juan Luis Frances,
- is now included in the Bacula GUI release. This is a management
- level tool for reporting the state of Bacula jobs.
-- The code is now Internationalized so that it can be localized
- in native languages. Thanks to Nicolas Boichat.
-
-New Directives:
-- New Job directive 'Prefer Mounted Volumes = yes|no' causes the
- SD to select either an Autochanger or a drive with a valid
- Volume already mounted in preference. If none is available,
- it will select the first available drive.
-- New Run directive in Job resource of DIR. It permits
- cloning of jobs. To clone a copy of the current job, use
- Run = 'job-name level=%l since=\'%s\''
- Note, job-name is normally the same name as the job that
- is running but there is no restriction on what you put. If you
- want to start the job by hand and use job overrides such as
- storage=xxx, realize that the job will be started with the
- default storage values not the overrides. The level=%l guarantees
- that the chosen level of the job is the same, and the since=...
- ensures that the job uses *exactly* the same time/date for incremental
- and differential jobs. The since=... is ignored when level=Full.
- A cloned job will not start additional clones, so it is not possible
- to recurse.
-- New Options keywords in a FileSet directive (backported to 1.36.3):
- - WildDir xxx
- Will do a wild card match against directories (files will not
- be matched).
- - WildFile xxx
- Will do a wild card match against files (directories will not
- be matched).
- - RegexDir xxx
- Will do a regular expression match against directories (files
- will not be matched).
- - RegexFile xxx
- Will do a regular expression match against files( directories
- will not be matched).
- - IgnoreCase = yes | no
- Will ignore case in wild card and regular expression matches.
- This is handy for Windows where filename case is not significant.
- - FsType = string
- where string is a filesystem type: ext2, jfs, ntfs, proc,
- reiserfs, xfs, usbdevfs, sysfs, smbfs, iso9660. For ext3
- systems, use ext2. You may have multiple fstype directives
- and thus permit multiple filesystem types. If the type
- specified on the fstype directive does not match the
- filesystem for a particular directive, that directory will
- not be backed up. This directive can be used to prevent
- backing up non-local filesystems.
- - HFS Plus Support = yes | no
- If set, Mac OS X resource forks will be saved and restored.
-- Label Type = ANSI | IBM | Bacula
- Implemented in Director Pool resource and in SD Device resource.
- If it is specified in the SD Device resource, it will take
- precedence over the value passed from the Director to the SD.
-- Check Labels = yes | no
- Implemented in the SD Device resource. If you intend to read
- ANSI or IBM labels, this *must* be set. Even if the volume
- is not ANSI labeled, you can set this to yes, and Bacula will
- check the label type.
-- Scripts Directory = <directory> name. Defines the directory from
- which Bacula scripts will be called for events. In fact, Bacula
- appends this name to the standard Python list of search directories,
- so the script could also be in any of the Python system directories.
-- In FileSet, you can exclude backing up of hardlinks (if you have
- a lot, it can be very expensive), by using:
- HardLinks = no
- in the Options section. Patch supplied by David R Bosso. Thanks.
-- MaximumPartSize = bytes (SD, Device resource)
- Defines the maximum part size.
-- Requires Mount = Yes/No (SD, Device resource)
- Defines if the device require to be mounted to be read, and if it
- must be written in a special way. If it set, the following directives
- must be defined in the same Device resource:
- + Mount Point = directory
- Directory where the device must be mounted.
- + Mount Command = name-string
- Command that must be executed to mount the device. Before the command
- is executed, %a is replaced with the Archive Device, and %m with the
- Mount Point.
- + Unmount Command = name-string
- Command that must be executed to unmount the device. Before the
- command is executed, %a is replaced with the Archive Device, and
- %m with the Mount Point.
- + Write Part Command = name-string
- Command that must be executed to write a part to the device. Before
- the command is executed, %a is replaced with the Archive Device, %m
- with the Mount Point, %n with the current part number (0-based),
- and %v with the current part filename.
- + Free Space Command = name-string
- Command that must be executed to check how much free space is left
- on the device. Before the command is executed, %a is replaced with
- the Archive Device, %m with the Mount Point, %n with the current part
- number (0-based), and %v with the current part filename.
-- Write Part After Job = Yes/No (DIR, Job Resource, and Schedule Resource)
- If this directive is set to yes (default no), a new part file will be
- created after the job is finished.
-- A pile of new Directives to support TLS. Please see the TLS chapter
- of the manual.
-
-New Commands:
-- 'python restart' restarts the Python interpreter. Rather brutal, make
- sure no Python scripts are running. This permits you to change
- a Python script and get Bacula to use the new script.
-
-New configure options:
-- --with-libintl-prefix for defining alternate locations for
- the NLS internationalization libraries. Not normally required.
-- --datadir for defining where the language files will be installed
- required only if you do not want the default /usr/share.
-
-Items to note!!!
-- The Storage daemon now keeps track of what tapes it is using
- (was not the case in 1.36.x). This means that you must be much
- more careful when removing tapes and putting up a new one. In
- general, you should always do a 'unmount' prior to removing a
- tape, and a 'mount' after putting a new one into the drive.
-- If you use an Autochanger, you MUST update your SD conf file
- to use the new Autochanger resource. Otherwise, certain commands
- such as 'update slots' may not work.
-- You must add --with-python=[DIR] to the configure command line
- if you want Python support. Python 2.2, 2.3 and 2.4 should be
- automatically detected if in the standard place.
-- When linking with --with-python, there are a few warnings that
- can be ignored.
-- You must either create a new catalog database or upgrade your
- old database. After installation, run from your scripts
- directory:
+ "status dir days=xx"
+ My use case is to be able to preview the next scheduled job (and the
+ next tape to be used) on Fridays if there are no scheduled jobs during
+ the weekend. This patch was probably back ported to 1.38.x
+- Add nagios plugin to the examples directory. Submitted by
+ Christian Masopust.
+- Modify most restore error messages to be queued so that they
+ appear at the end of the job rather than mixed with the restore
+ listing where they could be "lost".
+- Apply patch supplied by user (slightly modified) to fix
+ correct detection of holes in block devices and FIFOs.
+ Bug # 506.
+- Added a report.pl program to the examples directory from Jonas Bjorklund.
+- Add enable/disable job=<job-name>. This command prevents
+ the specified job from being scheduled. Even when disabled,
+ the job can be manually started from the console.
+- Add two new queries to query.sql provided by Arno. One
+ list volumes known to the Storage device, and the other
+ lists volumes possibly needing replacement (error, ...).
+- Implement new code for changing userid and group at startup. This
+ should get Bacula into the correct groups.
+- Implement support for removable filesystems.
+- Transfer rates are now presented in a more readable format thanks
+ to a user submission.
+- SD is now aware of what volumes are mounted. More information is printed
+ in the Status report.
+- The Pool Maximum Volumes directive is now respected in all places.
+- A Storage device can now be specified in a Pool resource. It will override
+ all other Storage specifications.
+- Most but not all directives accept true/false in place of yes/no.
+- A patch from Karl Hakimian that reads JobIds, FileIndexes
+ from a database table for restore.
+- There are a number of new tables. Some such as the Location table are
+ designed for user use in doing Volume Management software.
+- Maximum Changer Wait, Maximum Open Wait, Maximum Rewind Wait to
+ accept time qualifiers.
+- Implement jobuid to replace old usage of job in keywords as
+ suggested by Eric Bollengier.
+- Apply patch for enhancing wait from Eric Bollengier. One can now:
+ wait (wait for all jobs to stop)
+ wait jobid=nn
+ wait jobuid=unique id
+ wait job=job-name
+- Implement write variables for Python to set Priority (anytime), and
+ Job Level, only during JobInit event.
+- Use the keyword ujobid to mean the unique job id; job or jobname
+ to mean the Job name given on the Name directive, and jobid to
+ be the numeric (non-unique) job id.
+- Allow the SD to use multiple drives during a backup/restore (only
+ one at a time). This is not well tested.
+- Integrate addition of line count limitation to bsmtp -l from
+ Sebastian Stark <stark at tuebingen.mpg.de>
+- Split the bacula start/start script into four files:
+ bacula -- starts and stops calling other scripts
+ bacula-ctl-dir -- starts/stops the director
+ bacula-ctl-fd -- starts/stops the File daemon
+ bacula-ctl-sd -- starts/stops the Storage daemon
+- Remove automatic case folding on Windows FDs. You must
+ explicitly use the 'Ignore Case = yes' option.
+- Implement wild program in tools directory for testing
+ wild-cards. Almost identical to the regex program.
+- Use the new bregex.c to implement Regex expressions on Win32.
+- Apply patch from Christopher Hull
+ - Allow multiple connections to database with different
+ parameters.
+ - Invalidate the scheduler when doing a reload. Fixes seg
+ fault, but still 60 second window.
+ - Additional info in Reschedule message.
+ - Use set_jcr_job_status() everywhere to prevent loss of
+ cancel, error.
+ - Display peer IP in FD if error from connecting DIR.
+ - Don't increment file count for DIRBEGIN.
+ - Replace illegal characters in Win32 filename by _.
+ - Add SE_CREATE_PERMANENT_NAME privilege in Win32.
+ - Hash hard link filenames rather than linked list (performance).
+ - Fix for security failure in chdir on Win32.
+ - Add CreateDirectoryA/W win32 API entry points.
+- programs to duplicate Bacula's base64 algorithm using standard
+ routines. This fixes bugs #296, and 565. Patch submitted by
+ author of bug #565.
+- Fixes to reloading the Dir conf file from Eric Bollengier and Christopher
+ Hull.
+- Modify LICENSE to correct some problems pointed out by Debian.
+- Apply a patch submitted by cesarb in bug #606 to implement O_NOATIME support.
+ O_NOATIME is a open() flag which makes it possible to read a file without
+ updating the inode atime (and also without the inode ctime update which
+ happens if you try to set the atime back to its previous value). It also
+ prevents a race condition when two programs are reading the same file, but
+ only one does not want to change the atime. It's most useful for backup
+ programs and file integrity checkers (and bacula can fit on both
+ categories).
+ You enable it in the Bacula FileSet Options resource by setting:
+ noatime = yes
+ The effect of this option is similar to the keepatime option except
+ it is more efficient and avoids modifying ctime.
+- Implement a pile of new man pages contributed by Jose Tallon.
+- Implement a number of user supplied patches for DVD writing.
+- Modify the database format for handling Migration jobs:
+ Add PriorJobId, RealEndTime to Job table
+ Delete MAC table
+ Remove Stripe from JobMedia record (not used, wasting space)
+ Add ScratchPoolId, RecyclePoolId, Enabled to Media record
+ Add Cost to Location table.
+ Enabled to Media table and Location table.
+- Security: harden authentication failure in FD by single threading errors
+ and forcing a 6 second wait.
+- If using GCC (actually g++) add the following compiler flags
+ -fno-strict-aliasing -fno-exceptions -fno-rtti
+- Turn on new bsnprintf() code. This could cause print output
+ to look different. The reason for this code is to eliminate the
+ security problems associated with using the system libraries
+ print routines.
+- Implement job report that indicates where Storage and Pool
+ came from -- with overrides and Pool storage and NextPool,
+ it is all very complicated.
+- Add more detail (Storage, Device) to list of volumes printed
+ for restore.
+- Add new VOLMGMT message class. No messages are yet sent with this
+ class.
+- Add Catalog message destination in Messages resource that puts the
+ job report in the Log database table.
+- Spend a lot of time integrating mkcdrec with the rescue disk.
+- Add spooling/despooling info in status output of SD.
+- Add Comment field to llist of a volume.
+- Allow true/false in some yes/no questions.
+- Implement update volume enable=(on|off|true|false|archived|0|1|2)
