Kern's ToDo List
- 04 July 2005
+ 18 July 2005
Major development:
Project Developer
======= =========
-TLS Landon Fuller
-Unicode in Win32 Thorsten Engel (done)
-VSS Thorsten Engel (in beta testing)
Version 1.37 Kern (see below)
========================================================
-1.37 Major Projects:
-#3 Migration (Move, Copy, Archive Jobs)
- (probably not this version)
-#7 Single Job Writing to Multiple Storage Devices
- (probably not this version)
+Final items for 1.37 before release:
+1. Fix bugs
+- --without-openssl breaks at least on Solaris.
+- Move Python daemon variables from Job to Bacula object.
+ WorkingDir, ConfigFile
-## Create a new GUI chapter explaining all the GUI programs.
-
-Autochangers:
-- Make "update slots" when pointing to Autochanger, remove
- all Volumes from other drives. "update slots all-drives"?
-
-For 1.37:
-- update volume=xxx --- add status=Full
-- Remove old spool files on startup.
-- Exclude SD spool/working directory.
-- Finish TLS implementation.
-- Refuse to prune last valid Full backup. Same goes for Catalog.
-- --without-openssl breaks at least on Solaris.
-- Python:
- - Make a callback when Rerun failed levels is called.
- - Give Python program access to Scheduled jobs.
- - Add setting Volume State via Python.
- - Python script to save with Python, not save, save with Bacula.
- - Python script to do backup.
- - What events?
- - Change the Priority, Client, Storage, JobStatus (error)
- at the start of a job.
-- Why is SpoolDirectory = /home/bacula/spool; not reported
- as an error when writing a DVD?
-- Make bootstrap file handle multiple MediaTypes (SD)
-- Remove all old Device resource code in Dir and code to pass it
- back in SD -- better, rework it to pass back device statistics.
-- Check locking of resources -- be sure to lock devices where previously
- resources were locked.
-- The last part is left in the spool dir.
+3. Document all the new features (about half done).
+7. Write a bacula-web document
+8. Take one more try at making DVD writing work.
+9. Run the regression scripts on Solaris and FreeBSD
+- Figure out how to package gui, and rescue programs.
+- Test TLS.
Document:
-- Port limiting -m in iptables to prevent DoS attacks
- could cause broken pipes on Bacula.
+- Document cleaning up the spool files.
+- Add better documentation on how restores can be done
+- Document details of ANSI/IBM labels
- Document that Bootstrap files can be written with cataloging
turned off.
- Pruning with Admin job.
-- Add better documentation on how restores can be done
- OS linux 2.4
1) ADIC, DLT, FastStor 4000, 7*20GB
2) Sun, DDS, (Suns name unknown - Archive Python DDS drive), 1.2GB
- Document new CDROM directory.
- Document Heartbeat Interval in the dealing with firewalls section.
- Document the multiple-drive-changer.txt script.
+- On Win32 working directory must have drive letter ????
+- On Win32 working directory must be writable by SYSTEM to
+ do restores.
+
+
+
+For 1.39:
+1.xx Major Projects:
+#3 Migration (Move, Copy, Archive Jobs)
+#7 Single Job Writing to Multiple Storage Devices
+- Reserve blocks other restore jobs when first cannot connect
+ to SD -- no way to cancel in SD if Dir job canceled.
+- Add true/false to conf same as yes/no
+- For Windows disaster recovery see http://unattended.sf.net/
+- regardless of the retention period, Bacula will not prune the
+ last Full, Diff, or Inc File data until a month after the
+ retention period for the last Full backup that was done.
+- update volume=xxx --- add status=Full
+- Remove old spool files on startup.
+- Exclude SD spool/working directory.
+- Refuse to prune last valid Full backup. Same goes for Catalog.
+- Python:
+ - Make a callback when Rerun failed levels is called.
+ - Give Python program access to Scheduled jobs.
+ - Add setting Volume State via Python.
+ - Python script to save with Python, not save, save with Bacula.
+ - Python script to do backup.
+ - What events?
+ - Change the Priority, Client, Storage, JobStatus (error)
+ at the start of a job.
+- Why is SpoolDirectory = /home/bacula/spool; not reported
+ as an error when writing a DVD?
+- Make bootstrap file handle multiple MediaTypes (SD)
+- Remove all old Device resource code in Dir and code to pass it
+ back in SD -- better, rework it to pass back device statistics.
+- Check locking of resources -- be sure to lock devices where previously
+ resources were locked.
+- The last part is left in the spool dir.

-Maybe in 1.37:
- In restore don't compare byte count on a raw device -- directory
entry does not contain bytes.
- To mark files as deleted, run essentially a Verify to disk, and
1997 Volume "DLT-13Feb04" not in catalog.
04-Jul 13:01 MainSD: Please mount Volume "DLT-04Jul05" on Storage Device
"HP DLT 80" (/dev/nst0) for Job Rufus.2005-07-04_01.05.02
+## Create a new GUI chapter explaining all the GUI programs.
+- Make "update slots" when pointing to Autochanger, remove
+ all Volumes from other drives. "update slots all-drives"?
+ No, this is done by modifying mtx-changer to list what is
+ in the drives.
+- Finish TLS implementation.
+- Port limiting -m in iptables to prevent DoS attacks
+ could cause broken pipes on Bacula.
+6. Build and test the Volume Shadow Copy (VSS) for Win32.
+- Allow cancel of unknown Job
+- State not saved when closing Win32 FD by icon
+- bsr-opt-test fails. bsr deleted. Fix.
