Kern's ToDo List
- 24 July 2005
+ 13 August 2005
Major development:
Project Developer
Final items for 1.37 before release:
1. Fix bugs
+- Look at fixing restore status stats in SD.
+- Check "update slots=7 scan storage=DLT drive=0" with
+ non-bacula tape in the drive.
+
- --without-openssl breaks at least on Solaris.
-7. Write a bacula-web document
-9. Run the regression scripts on Solaris and FreeBSD
- Figure out how to package gui, and rescue programs.
- Test TLS.
+- Arno had to do -- to get update slots=x to work
+ UPDATE Media SET InChanger=0,Slot=0 WHERE InChanger>0 AND Slot>0; (MySQL)
+
+- Add recycle event.
+- Add scratch pool event.
+- Implement NeedVolume event
+- Add Win32 FileSet definition somewhere
+
Document:
+- datadir for po files.
+- AM_GNU_GETTEXT finds the library if you specify
+ --with-libintl-prefix
- Document cleaning up the spool files:
db, pid, state, bsr, mail, conmsg, spool
- Document the multiple-drive-changer.txt script.
- Pruning with Admin job.
- Restore of all files for a Job or set of jobs even if the file
records have been removed from the catalog.
-========= probably not in 1.38 =============
- - 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.
-=======
+- Does WildFile match against full name? Doc.
For 1.39:
+- Look at simplifying File exclusions.
+- Fix store_yesno to be store_bitmask.
+- New directive "Delete purged Volumes"
+- new pool XXX with ScratchPoolId = MyScratchPool's PoolId and
+ let it fill itself, and RecyclePoolId = XXX's PoolId so I can
+ see if it become stable and I just have to supervise
+ MyScratchPool
+- If I want to remove this pool, I set RecyclePoolId = MyScratchPool's
+ PoolId, and when it is empty remove it.
+- Figure out how to recycle Scratch volumes back to the Scratch
+ Pool.
+- Add Volume=SCRTCH
+- Allow Check Labels to be used with Bacula labels.
+- "Resuming" a failed backup (lost line for example) by using the
+ failed backup as a sort of "base" job.
+- Look at NDMP
+- Email to the user when the tape is about to need changing x
+ days before it needs changing.
+- Command to show next tape that will be used for a job even
+ if the job is not scheduled.

- Fix bpipe.c so that it does not modify results pointer.
***FIXME*** calling sequence should be changed.
1.xx Major Projects:
- Document that ChangerDevice is used for Alert command.
- Add better documentation on how restores can be done
8. Take one more try at making DVD writing work (no go)
+7. Write a bacula-web document
+- Why isn't the DEVICE structure defined when doing
+ a reservation?
+- Multi-drive changer seems to only use drive 0
+ Multiple drives don't seem to be opened.
+- My database is growing
+- Call GetLastError() in the berrno constructor rather
+ than delaying until strerror.
+- Tape xxx in drive 0, requested in drive 1
+- The mount command does not work with drives other than 0.
+- A mount should cause the SD to re-examine what Slot is
+ loaded.
+- The SD locks on to the first available drive then
+ wants a Volume that is released but in another drive --
+ chaos.
+- Run the regression scripts on Solaris and FreeBSD
