Testing to do: (painful)

-- Fix watchdog pthread crash on Win32
-- Document labeling a whole magazine using "cat"
-- Implement create "FileSet"
+For 1.30a release:
+- Examine Bare Metal restore problem.
+- Test multiple simultaneous Volumes
+- Document FInclude ...
- Figure out how to use ssh or stunnel to protect Bacula communications.
After 1.30:
+- Fix command prompt in gnome-console by checking on Ready.
+- Implement HEART_BEAT while SD waiting for tapes.
+- Include RunBeforeJob and RunAfterJob output in the message
+ stream.
+- Check if Job/File retentions apply to multivolume jobs.
+- Change M_INFO to M_RESTORED for all restored files.
+- Remove subsysdir from conf files (used only in autostart scripts).
+- Implement console @echo command.
+- Implement global with DB name and add to btraceback.gdb
+- Bug: fix access problems on files restored on WinXP.
+- Implement a Slot priority (loaded/not loaded).
+- Implement "vacation" Incremental only saves.
+- Implement single pane restore (much like the Gftp panes).
+- Implement Automatic Mount even in operator wait.
+- Implement create "FileSet"?
+- Implement Release Device in the Job resource to unmount a drive.
+- Implement Acquire Device in the Job resource to mount a drive,
+ be sure this works with admin jobs so that the user can get
+ prompted to insert the correct tape. Possibly some way to say to
+ run the job but don't save the files.
+- Implement all command line args on run.
+- Implement command line "restore" args.
+- Implement "restore current select=no"
+- Fix watchdog pthread crash on Win32
+- Fix "access not allowed" for backup of files on WinXP.
- Implement "scratch pool" where tapes are defined and can be
taken by any pool that needs them.
- Implement restore "current system", but take all files without
doing selection tree -- so that jobs without File records can
be restored.
-- Implement scheduling of one time "run" jobs (i.e. instead of
- starting immediately start at some specified time).
- Make | and < work on FD side.
- Pass prefix_links to FD.
- Implement a M_SECURITY message class.
- Add IP address to authentication failures.
- Add a default File storage so that new users can do backup
and restores right away.
+- Forbid sbindir and with-subsys-dir from being the same (otherwise
+ the binary gets deleted when the daemon is stopped in the
+ rc.d/inid.d directory.
+- Do not ignore SIGCHLD
+- Add Cleaning to list of volume statuses
+- Implement run at "xxx"
+- Document new transparent Console commands and wait command.
+- Document . and @ commands
+- Document run when.
+- Document Lutz Kittler's trick of using "Run Before Job" to
+ abort a job on a particular day.
+- Document Ludovic Strappazon's Win32 raw device save/restore.
+- Document not to restore .journal .autofsck
+- Document labeling a whole magazine using "cat"
+- Document how to automatically backup all local partitions
+- Document logrotate
+- Document OPTIMIZE TABLE in MySQL
+- Document new immediate File save configuration (walk user
+ through first save to file Volume with automatic Volume labeling?).
+- Implement scheduling of one time "run" jobs (i.e. instead of
+ starting immediately start at some specified time).
+- Bug: up arrow prints garbage in command line on gnome-console!
