+ Bacula code: Total files = 226 Total lines = 61,863 (*.h *.c *.in)
Major Changes this Release:
-- Implemented support for Sparse files.
-- Implemented support for all Win32 attributes.
-- New Volume format. Will permit faster restores,
- and correct restores of Volumes written with multiple
- simultaneous jobs.
-- Important change to communications protocol. Eliminated
- deprecated 0 signal.
-- Implemented VolumeUseDuration (duration Volume can be written)
-- Implemented MaximumVolumeJobs (max jobs written to volume) see
- the Pool documentation for the Director for more details.
-- Rework of the Web site.
-- New format for the User's Guide (manual).
-- New bcopy tool (works but not totally complete).
-- All bxxx tool programs MUST read a Storage daemon configuration file.
-- Mount Anonymous Volumes is now dropped from the Storage
- daemon configuration files.
-- Accept Any Volume is by default "Yes" and permits Bacula
- to accept any appendable volume from the pool. Previously,
- it would accept ONLY the next appendable volume. To get
- the old behavior add "Accept Any Volume = No" to the
- Storage resources of your Director's configuration file.
-- New database format. You must either re-initialize your database or
- use <bacula-src>/src/cats/alter_mysql_tables (or alter_sqlite_tables)
- to upgrade an existing database.
+- Bare Metal Recovery mostly automated for Linux systems and
+ partially automated for Solaris
+- Optimized restore, forward spaces to correct tape file and
+ stops reading the archive when all files are restored.
+- Schedule permits specification of 1st, 2nd, ... week e.g.
+ 1st Sun ...
Minor Changes this Release:
-- A number of small bug fixes.

- to the director.
-- Fixed mount loop when the autochanger slot is incorrect in
- the catalog.
-- Updated the bacula start/stop script to work on more systems.
-- Fixed many places prone to buffer overflows.
-- Scripts are now found in <bacula-src>/scripts
-- A mtx-changer script was contributed for the Sony
- TLS-11000 autochanger. It is in <bacula-src>/examples
+- Allow backup of raw partitions.
+- Fixed Restore options (never,ifnewer, ...). They now work.
+- New bidirectional timed pipe mechanism for running child processes
+ permits better error messages.
