+
+Note on bug 1612 where Bacula does not save a checksum for hard links during
+full backup, but expects one during accurate differential backups. You need
+a Full backup with the 5.2.x code to have these checksums in the Catalog.
+Doing Incr/Diff over a 5.0.x Full backup will still display lot of errors.
+
+
+
================== Warning !!!!!! ==========================
The new pruning algorithm will not allow pruning of jobs that are essential to
but it is different from older Bacula versions that could inappropriately
prune jobs. Pruning of volumes is not affected.
-New Catalog format in version 5.2.0
------------------------------------
+Building Bat:
+-------------
+To build Bat, you need Qt4 version 4.6.2. If you build with any other
+version it is likely not to work. If you do not have version 4.6.2, on
+your system, you can download the Bacula depkgs_qt version 16Dec10.
+
+Packaging the SQL backend:
+--------------------------
+The main Bacula Director code is independent of the SQL backend
+in this version. This means that the Bacula Director can be packaged
+by itself, then each of the different SQL backends supported can
+be packaged separately. It is possible to build all the DB backends
+at the same time.
+
+- configure can be run with multiple database configure options.
+ --with-sqlite3
+ --with-mysql
+ --with-postgresql
+
+Order of testing for database is
+- postgresql
+- mysql
+- sqlite3
+
+Each configured backend generates a libbaccats-<backend_name>-<version>.so
+A dummy catalog library is created named libbaccats-version.so
+
+At configure time the first detected backend is used as the so called default
+backend and at install time the dummy libbaccats-<version>.so is replaced with
+the default backend type.
+
+If you configure all three backends you get three backend libraries and the
+postgresql gets installed as the default. When you want to switch the default
+you can copy one of the three backend libraries over the
+libbaccats-<version>.so e.g.
+
+cp libbaccats-postgresql-<version>.so libbaccats-<version>.so
+
+And update the default backend in the following files:
+
+create_bacula_database
+drop_bacula_database
+drop_bacula_tables
+grant_bacula_privileges
+make_bacula_tables
+make_catalog_backup
+update_bacula_tables
+
+New Catalog format in version 5.2.0 and greater
+-----------------------------------------------
This release of Bacula uses a new catalog format. We provide a set of
-scripts that permit to convert a 5.0.x (version 12) catalog to 5.2.0 (version
+scripts that permit to convert a 5.0.x (version 12) catalog to 5.2.1 (version
14). The Bacula project rpm spec files have been modified to
detect the database change and do the upgrade for you. We strongly
recommend that you save a copy of your existing database before upgrading
source (i.e. manually):
1. Stop any current version of Bacula from running.
2. Save a copy of your existing database.
-3. Configure, build, and install the 5.2.0 version of Bacula
+3. Configure, build, and install the 5.2.1 version of Bacula
Note the new ./configure options in the manuals see the link
at the bottom of this file.
4. cd <your-scripts-installation-directory>
- Director selection option in bconsole
- restorejob command in bconsole
- Many additional features for bat such as "brestore" panel
+- The old bat version browser has been turned off since it does not
+ work correctly and the brestore panel provides the same functionality
- Improved hash table for hard links
- Additional script variable editing such as %b (JobBytes), %F (JobFiles)
and %h (Client Address)
