+- Possibly allow SD to spool even if a tape is not mounted.
+- How to sync remote offices.
+- Windows Bare Metal
+- Backup up windows system state
+- Complete Job restart
+- Look at rsysnc for incremental updates and dedupping
+- Implement rwlock() for SD that takes why and can_steal to replace
+ existing block/lock mechanism. rlock() would allow multiple readers
+ wlock would allow only one writer.
+- For Windows disaster recovery see http://unattended.sf.net/
+- Add "before=" "olderthan=" to FileSet for doing Base of
+ unchanged files.
+- Show files/second in client status output.
+- Don't attempt to restore from "Disabled" Volumes.
+- Have SD compute MD5 or SHA1 and compare to what FD computes.
+- Make VolumeToCatalog calculate an MD5 or SHA1 from the
+ actual data on the Volume and compare it.
+- Remove queue.c code.
+- Implement multiple jobid specification for the cancel command,
+ similar to what is permitted on the update slots command.
+- Ensure that the SD re-reads the Media record if the JobFiles
+ does not match -- it may have been updated by another job.
+- Add MD5 or SHA1 check in SD for data validation
+- When reserving a device to read, check to see if the Volume
+ is already in use, if so wait. Probably will need to pass the
+ Volume. See bug #1313. Create a regression test to simulate
+ this problem and see if VolumePollInterval fixes it. Possibly turn
+ it on by default.
+
+- Page hash tables
+- Deduplication
+- Why no error message if restore has no permission on the where
+ directory?
+- Possibly allow manual "purge" to purge a Volume that has not
+ yet been written (even if FirstWritten time is zero) see ua_purge.c
+ is_volume_purged().
+- Add disk block detection bsr code (make it work).
+- Remove done bsrs.
+- Detect deadlocks in reservations.
+- Plugins:
+ - Add list during dump
+ - Add in plugin code flag
+ - Add bRC_EndJob -- stops more calls to plugin this job
+ - Add bRC_Term (unload plugin)
+ - remove time_t from Jmsg and use utime_t?
+- Deadlock detection, watchdog sees if counter advances when jobs are
+ running. With debug on, can do a "status" command.
+- User options for plugins.
+- Pool Storage override precedence over command line.
+- Autolabel only if Volume catalog information indicates tape not
+ written. This will avoid overwriting a tape that gets an I/O
+ error on reading the volume label.
+- I/O error, SD thinks it is not the right Volume, should check slot
+ then disable volume, but Asks for mount.
+- Can be posible modify package to create and use configuration files in
+ the Debian manner?
+
+ For example:
+
+ /etc/bacula/bacula-dir.conf
+ /etc/bacula/conf.d/pools.conf
+ /etc/bacula/conf.d/clients.conf
+ /etc/bacula/conf.d/storages.conf
+
+ and into bacula-dir.conf file include
+
+ @/etc/bacula/conf.d/pools.conf
+ @/etc/bacula/conf.d/clients.conf
+ @/etc/bacula/conf.d/storages.conf
+- Possibly add an Inconsistent state when a Volume is in error
+ for non I/O reasons.
+- Fix #ifdefing so that smartalloc can be disabled. Check manual
+ -- the default is enabled.
+- Dangling softlinks are not restored properly. For example, take a
+ soft link such as src/testprogs/install-sh, which points to /usr/share/autoconf...
+ move the directory to another machine where the file /usr/share/autoconf does
+ not exist, back it up, then try a full restore. It fails.
+- Softlinks that point to non-existent file are not restored in restore all,
+ but are restored if the file is individually selected. BUG!
+- Prune by Job
+- Prune by Job Level (Full, Differential, Incremental)
+- modify pruning to keep a fixed number of versions of a file,
+ if requested.
+- the cd-command should allow complete paths
+ i.e. cd /foo/bar/foo/bar
+ -> if a customer mails me the path to a certain file,
+ its faster to enter the specified directory
+- Make tree walk routines like cd, ls, ... more user friendly
+ by handling spaces better.
+- When doing a restore, if the user does an "update slots"
+ after the job started in order to add a restore volume, the
+ values prior to the update slots will be put into the catalog.
+ Must retrieve catalog record merge it then write it back at the
+ end of the restore job, if we want to do this right.
+=== rate design
+ jcr->last_rate
+ jcr->last_runtime
+ MA = (last_MA * 3 + rate) / 4
+ rate = (bytes - last_bytes) / (runtime - last_runtime)
+===
+- Add a recursive mark command (rmark) to restore.
+- Look at simplifying File exclusions.
+- Scripts
+- Separate Files and Directories in catalog
+- Create FileVersions table
+- finish implementation of fdcalled -- see ua_run.c:105
+- Fix problem in postgresql.c in my_postgresql_query, where the
+ generation of the error message doesn't differentiate result==NULL
+ and a bad status from that result. Not only that, the result is
+ cleared on a bail_out without having generated the error message.
+- Implement SDErrors (must return from SD)
+- Implement continue spooling while despooling.
+- Remove all install temp files in Win32 PLUGINSDIR.
+- No where in restore causes kaboom.
+- Performance: multiple spool files for a single job.
+- Performance: despool attributes when despooling data (problem
+ multiplexing Dir connection).
+- Implement wait_for_sysop() message display in wait_for_device(), which
+ now prints warnings too often.
+- Ensure that each device in an Autochanger has a different
+ Device Index.
+- Look at sg_logs -a /dev/sg0 for getting soft errors.
+- btape "test" command with Offline on Unmount = yes
+
+ This test is essential to Bacula.
+
+ I'm going to write one record in file 0,
+ two records in file 1,
+ and three records in file 2
+
+ 02-Feb 11:00 btape: ABORTING due to ERROR in dev.c:715
+ dev.c:714 Bad call to rewind. Device "LTO" (/dev/nst0) not open
+ 02-Feb 11:00 btape: Fatal Error because: Bacula interrupted by signal 11: Segmentation violation
+ Kaboom! btape, btape got signal 11. Attempting traceback.
+
+- Encryption -- email from Landon
+ > The backup encryption algorithm is currently not configurable, and is
+ > set to AES_128_CBC in src/filed/backup.c. The encryption code
+ > supports a number of different ciphers (as well as adding arbitrary
+ > new ones) -- only a small bit of code would be required to map a
+ > configuration string value to a CRYPTO_CIPHER_* value, if anyone is
+ > interested in implementing this functionality.
+
+- Add the OS version back to the Win32 client info.
+- Restarted jobs have a NULL in the from field.
+- Modify SD status command to indicate when the SD is writing
+ to a DVD (the device is not open -- see bug #732).
+- Look at the possibility of adding "SET NAMES UTF8" for MySQL,
+ and possibly changing the blobs into varchar.
+- Test Volume compatibility between machine architectures
+- Encryption documentation
+
+Professional Needs:
+- Migration from other vendors
+ - Date change
+ - Path change
+- Filesystem types
+- Backup conf/exe (all daemons)
+- Detect state change of system (verify)
+- SD to SD
+- Novell NSS backup http://www.novell.com/coolsolutions/tools/18952.html
+- Compliance norms that compare restored code hash code.
+- David's priorities
+ Copypools
+ Extract capability (#25)
+ Threshold triggered migration jobs (not currently in list, but will be
+ needed ASAP)
+ Client triggered backups
+ Complete rework of the scheduling system (not in list)
+ Performance and usage instrumentation (not in list)
+ See email of 21Aug2007 for details.
+- Look at: http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/cfg2html
+ and http://www.openeyet.nl/scc/ for managing customer changes
+
+Projects:
+- Pool enhancements
+ - Access Mode = Read-Only, Read-Write, Unavailable, Destroyed, Offsite
+ - Pool Type = Copy
+ - Maximum number of scratch volumes
+ - Maximum File size
+ - Next Pool (already have)
+ - Reclamation threshold
+ - Reclamation Pool
+ - Reuse delay (after all files purged from volume before it can be used)
+ - Copy Pool = xx, yyy (or multiple lines).
+ - Catalog = xxx
+ - Allow pool selection during restore.
+
+- Average tape size from Eric
+ SELECT COALESCE(media_avg_size.volavg,0) * count(Media.MediaId) AS volmax, GROUP BY Media.MediaType, Media.PoolId, media_avg_size.volavg
+ count(Media.MediaId) AS volnum,
+ sum(Media.VolBytes) AS voltotal,
+ Media.PoolId AS PoolId,
+ Media.MediaType AS MediaType
+ FROM Media
+ LEFT JOIN (SELECT avg(Media.VolBytes) AS volavg,
+ Media.MediaType AS MediaType
+ FROM Media
+ WHERE Media.VolStatus = 'Full'
+ GROUP BY Media.MediaType
+ ) AS media_avg_size ON (Media.MediaType = media_avg_size.MediaType)
+ GROUP BY Media.MediaType, Media.PoolId, media_avg_size.volavg
+- Performance
+ - Despool attributes in separate thread
+ - Database speedups
+ - Embedded MySQL
+ - Check why restore repeatedly sends Rechdrs between
+ each data chunk -- according to James Harper 9Jan07.
+- Features
+ - Better scheduling
+ - More intelligent re-run
+ - Incremental backup -- rsync, Stow
+
+- Make Bacula by default not backup tmpfs, procfs, sysfs, ...
+- Fix hardlinked immutable files when linking a second file, the
+ immutable flag must be removed prior to trying to link it.
