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
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
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 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
- 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.

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
- Add data compare on write/read in btape "test".
- Rescue builds incorrect script files on Rufus.
- Release SQLite 2.8.9
-
+- During install, copy any console.conf to bconsole.conf.
