Major development:
Project Developer
Final items for 1.37 before release:
1. Fix bugs
+- Tape xxx in drive 0, requested in drive 1
+- The mount command does not work with drives other than 0.
+- Look at fixing restore status stats in SD.
+- My database is growing
+
- --without-openssl breaks at least on Solaris.
-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.
+- 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)
Document:
- Document cleaning up the spool files:
db, pid, state, bsr, mail, conmsg, spool
-- Add better documentation on how restores can be done
- 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.
+=======
For 1.39:
+- 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:
- On Win32 working directory must be writable by SYSTEM to
do restores.
- 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.
