Kern's ToDo List
- 28 February 2004
+ 9 March 2004
Documentation to do: (any release a little bit at a time)
- DB upgrade to version 5 in bacula-1.27b, DB upgrade to
- Test cancel at EOM.
For 1.33 Testing/Documentation:
-- Newly labeled tapes are chosen before ones already in use.
-- Document new alias records in Director. SDAddress SDDeviceName, SDPassword.
- FDPassword, FDAddress, DBAddress, DBPort, DBPassword.
- Document new Include/Exclude ...
-- Add test of exclusion, test multiple Include {} statements.
- Add counter variable test.
- Document ln -sf /usr/lib/libncurses.so /usr/lib/libtermcap.so
and install the esound-dev package for compiling Console on SuSE.
"soft" and "intr"remount options may well help you. The only way of
being sure would be totry it.See, for example,
http://howtos.linux.com/guides/nag2/x-087-2-nfs.mountd.shtml
+- Add the following devices as working:
+ Adic Scalar 100 DLT
+ Adic Fastor 22 DLT
+ (both HVD)
+ Overland LoaderXpress LTO (LVD)
+ Overland Neo2000 (LVD)
For 1.33
+From Chris Hull:
+ it seems to be complaining about 12:00pm which should be a valid 12
+ hour time. I changed the time to 11:59am and everything works fine.
+ Also 12:00am works fine. 0:00pm also works (which I don't think
+ should). None of the values 12:00pm - 12:59pm work for that matter.
+- Use SHA1 on authentication if possible.
- Check: Run = Level=Differential feb-dec 1 at 1:05 to see if wday is empty.
- Look at installation file permissions with Scott so that make install
and the rpms agree.
- Allow "delete job jobid=xx jobid=xxx".
- Allow "delete job jobid=xxx,yyy,aaa-bbb" i.e. list + ranges.
- Implement multiple Volume in "purge jobs volume=".
-- Rescue builds incorrect script files on Rufus.
- Fix option 2 of restore -- list where file is backed up -- require Client,
then list last 20 backups.
- Allow browsing the catalog to see all versions of a file (with
- Symbolic link a directory to another one, then backup the symbolic link.
- Check and possibly fix problems with hard links.
- Fix "llist jobid=xx" where no fileset or client exists.
-- Release SQLite 2.8.9
- Add all pools in Dir conf to DB also update them to catch changed
LabelFormats and such.
- Build console in client-only build.
it cannot be called recursively and set dequeuing flag.
- Add a .list all files in the restore tree (probably also a list all files)
Do both a long and short form.
+- Finish work on conio.c
+- See comtest-xxx.zip for Windows code to talk to USB.
+- Phil says that Windows file sizes mismatch in Verify when they should,
+ and that either the file size or the catalog size was zero.
+- Check time/dates printed during restore when using Win32 API.
+- Add ctl-c to console to stop current command and discard buffered
+ output.
+- Estimate to Tibs never returns.
- Later:
-- Add a regression test for dbcheck.
-- Add disk seeking on restore.
-- Allow for optional cancelling of SD and FD in case DIR
+- Make btape accept Device Names in addition to Archive names.
+- Add Events and Perl scripting.
+- Add John's appended files:
+ Appended = { /files/server/logs/http/*log }
+ and such files would be treated as follows.On a FULL backup, they would
+ be backed up like any other file.On an INCREMENTAL backup, where a
+ previous INCREMENTAL or FULL was already in thecatalogue and the length
+ of the file wasgreater than the length of the last backup, only thedata
+ added since the last backup will be dumped.On an INCREMENTAL backup, if
+ the length of the file is less than thelength of the file with the same
+ name last backed up, the completefile is dumped.On Windows systems, with
+ creation date of files, we can be evensmarter about this and not count
+ entirely upon the length.On a restore, the full and all incrementals
+ since it will beapplied in sequence to restore the file. - Add a
+ regression test for dbcheck. - Add disk seeking on restore. - Allow
+ for optional cancelling of SD and FD in case DIR
gets a fatal error. Requested by Jesse Guardiani <jesse@wingnet.net>
- Bizarre message: Error: Could not open WriteBootstrap file:
- Build console in client only build.
- Add "limit=n" for "list jobs"
- Check new HAVE_WIN32 open bits.
- Check if the tape has moved before writing.
-- Implement restart of daemon.
- Handling removable disks -- see below:
- Multiple drive autochanger support -- see below.
- Keep track of tape use time, and report when cleaning is necessary.
-- Add Events and Perl scripting.
-- See comtest-xxx.zip for Windows code to talk to USB.
- Fix FreeBSD mt_count problem.
-- During install, copy any console.conf to bconsole.conf.
- Add FromClient and ToClient keywords on restore command (or
BackupClient RestoreClient).
- Automatic "update slots" on user configuration directive when a
those of the time of the restore, not those of the originalfile.
The dates you will find in your restore log seem to be the original
creation dates
-- Check why Phil's Verify exclude does not work.
-- Phil says that Windows file sizes mismatch in Verify when they should,
- and that either the file size or the catalog size was zero.
-- Check time/dates printed during restore when using Win32 API.
- Volume "add"ed to Pool gets recycled in first use. VolBytes=0
- Get rid of 0 dates in LastWritten, ...
- If a tape is recycled while it is mounted, Stanislav Tvrudy must do an
pointer (rec) to try_repositioning().
- Look at extracting Win data from BackupRead.
- Having dashes in filenames apparently creates problems for restore
- by filename.
+ by filename??? hard to believe.
- Implement RestoreJobRetention? Maybe better "JobRetention" in a Job,
which would take precidence over the Catalog "JobRetention".
- Implement Label Format in Add and Label console commands.
- Possibly up network buffers to 65K. Put on variable.
- Put email tape request delays on one or more variables. User wants
to cancel the job after a certain time interval. Maximum Mount Wait?
- Job, Client, Device, Pool, or Volume?
+- Job, Client, Device, Pool, or Volume?
Is it possible to make this a directive which is *optional* in multiple
resources, like Level? If so, I think I'd make it an optional directive
in Job, Client, and Pool, with precedence such that Job overrides Client
which in turn overrides Pool.
- Print a message when a job starts if the conf file is not current.
-- Finish work on conio.c
- To pass Include 1 or two letter commands
I Name Include name - first record
B Name Base name - repeat
After 1.33:
- Look at www.nu2.nu/pebuilder as a helper for full windows
bare metal restore.
-From Chris Hull:
- it seems to be complaining about 12:00pm which should be a valid 12
- hour time. I changed the time to 11:59am and everything works fine.
- Also 12:00am works fine. 0:00pm also works (which I don't think
- should). None of the values 12:00pm - 12:59pm work for that matter.
Ideas from Jerry Scharf:
First let's point out some big pluses that bacula has for this
it's open source
http://csrc.nist.gov/CryptoToolkit/aes/). It's
an officially adopted standard, has survived peer
review, and provides keys up to 256 bits.
-- Add ctl-c to console to stop current command and discard buffered
- output.
-- Estimate to Tibs never returns.
- Think about how space could be freed up on a tape -- perhaps this
is a Merge or Compact feature that is needed.
- Modify FileSet, did not upgrade the current Increment job, but
- Make column listing for running jobs JobId Level Type Started Name Status
- Why does Bacula need the drive open to do "autochanger list" ?
- Add data compare on write/read in btape "test".
