+ 16 July 2007
Document:

- Modules for Databases, Exchange, ...
- Novell NSS backup http://www.novell.com/coolsolutions/tools/18952.html
+- Compliance norms that compare restored code hash code.
+- When glibc crash, get address with
+ info symbol 0x809780c
+- How to sync remote offices.
+- Exchange backup:
+ http://www.microsoft.com/technet/itshowcase/content/exchbkup.mspx
+- David's priorities
+ Copypools
+ Extract capability (#25)
+ Continued enhancement of bweb
+ Threshold triggered migration jobs (not currently in list, but will be
+ needed ASAP)
+ Client triggered backups
+ Complete rework of the scheduling system (not in list)
+ Performance and usage instrumentation (not in list)
+ See email of 21Aug2007 for details.
+- Implement Diff,Inc Retention Periods
Priority:
+- Auto update of slot:
+ rufus-dir: ua_run.c:456-10 JobId=10 NewJobId=10 using pool Full priority=10
+ 02-Nov 12:58 rufus-dir JobId 10: Start Backup JobId 10, Job=kernsave.2007-11-02_12.58.03
+ 02-Nov 12:58 rufus-dir JobId 10: Using Device "DDS-4"
+ 02-Nov 12:58 rufus-sd JobId 10: Invalid slot=0 defined in catalog for Volume "Vol001" on "DDS-4" (/dev/nst0). Manual load my be required.
+ 02-Nov 12:58 rufus-sd JobId 10: 3301 Issuing autochanger "loaded? drive 0" command.
+ 02-Nov 12:58 rufus-sd JobId 10: 3302 Autochanger "loaded? drive 0", result is Slot 2.
+ 02-Nov 12:58 rufus-sd JobId 10: Wrote label to prelabeled Volume "Vol001" on device "DDS-4" (/dev/nst0)
+ 02-Nov 12:58 rufus-sd JobId 10: Alert: TapeAlert[7]: Media Life: The tape has reached the end of its useful life.
+ 02-Nov 12:58 rufus-dir JobId 10: Bacula rufus-dir 2.3.6 (26Oct07): 02-Nov-2007 12:58:51
+- Encrypt sd_auth_key = s with director's key = d
+ k[i] = s[i] + (d[i] & 0xF)) & 0xFF + 'A' skip -
+ Decrypt key = k with director's key
+ x = k[i] - (d[i] & 0xF))
+ if (x < 0) {
+ x = k[i] - (d[i] & 0xF) + 16
+ }
+ s[i] = x + 'A';
+- Eliminate: /var is a different filesystem. Will not descend from / into /var
+- Separate Files and Directories in catalog
+- Create FileVersions table
+- Look at rsysnc for incremental updates and dedupping
+- Add MD5 or SHA1 check in SD for data validation
+- modify pruning to keep a fixed number of versions of a file,
+ if requested.
+- finish implementation of fdcalled -- see ua_run.c:105
+- Fix problem in postgresql.c in my_postgresql_query, where the
+ generation of the error message doesn't differentiate result==NULL
+ and a bad status from that result. Not only that, the result is
+ cleared on a bail_out without having generated the error message.
+- Erabt if min_block_size > max_block_size
+- KIWI
+- Implement wait on multiple objects
+ - Multiple max times
+ - pthread signal
+ - socket input ready
+- Implement SDErrors (must return from SD)
+- Implement USB keyboard support in rescue CD.
+- Implement continue spooling while despooling.
+- Remove all install temp files in Win32 PLUGINSDIR.
+- Audit retention periods to make sure everything is 64 bit.
+- Use E'xxx' to escape PostgreSQL strings.
+- No where in restore causes kaboom.
+- Performance: multiple spool files for a single job.
+- Performance: despool attributes when despooling data (problem
+ multiplexing Dir connection).
+- Make restore use the in-use volume reservation algorithm.
+- Look at mincore: http://insights.oetiker.ch/linux/fadvise.html
- Unicode input http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Byte_Order_Mark
-- How does restore JobId=nnn work? (Dirk)
-- What does: restore select fileset="TestSet" client="workplay-fd" pool="Default"
-> storage="File2" before="2007-02-05 23:05:04" do? (Dirk)
-
-- Implement update jobid=
-- Mention Eric and Marc's work + Marc's doc.
-- Add TLS to bat
+- Add TLS to bat (should be done).
- When Pool specifies Storage command override does not work.
- Implement wait_for_sysop() message display in wait_for_device(), which
now prints warnings too often.
-
- Ensure that each device in an Autochanger has a different
Device Index.
- Add Catalog = to Pool resource so that pools will exist
02-Feb 11:00 btape: Fatal Error because: Bacula interrupted by signal 11: Segmentation violation
Kaboom! btape, btape got signal 11. Attempting traceback.
-- Ensure that moving a purged Volume in ua_purge.c to the RecyclePool
- does the right thing.
+- Encryption -- email from Landon
+ > The backup encryption algorithm is currently not configurable, and is
+ > set to AES_128_CBC in src/filed/backup.c. The encryption code
+ > supports a number of different ciphers (as well as adding arbitrary
+ > new ones) -- only a small bit of code would be required to map a
+ > configuration string value to a CRYPTO_CIPHER_* value, if anyone is
+ > interested in implementing this functionality.
+
- Why doesn't @"xxx abc" work in a conf file?
- Figure out some way to "automatically" backup conf changes.
- Add the OS version back to the Win32 client info.
- Test Volume compatibility between machine architectures
- Encryption documentation
- Wrong jobbytes with query 12 (todo)
-- bacula-1.38.2-ssl.patch
- Bare-metal recovery Windows (todo)
Projects:
+- Pool enhancements
+ - Access Mode = Read-Only, Read-Write, Unavailable, Destroyed, Offsite
+ - Pool Type = Copy
+ - Maximum number of scratch volumes
+ - Maximum File size
+ - Next Pool (already have)
+ - Reclamation threshold
+ - Reclamation Pool
+ - Reuse delay (after all files purged from volume before it can be used)
+ - Copy Pool = xx, yyy (or multiple lines).
+ - Catalog = xxx
+ - Allow pool selection during restore.
+
- Average tape size from Eric
SELECT COALESCE(media_avg_size.volavg,0) * count(Media.MediaId) AS volmax, GROUP BY Media.MediaType, Media.PoolId, media_avg_size.volavg
count(Media.MediaId) AS volnum,
- Look at Webmin
http://www.orangecrate.com/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=501
- Performance
- - FD-SD quick disconnect
- Despool attributes in separate thread
- Database speedups
- Embedded MySQL
- Check why restore repeatedly sends Rechdrs between
each data chunk -- according to James Harper 9Jan07.
- - Building the in memory restore tree is slow.
- Features
- Better scheduling
- Full at least once a month, ...
For next release:
+- Try to fix bscan not working with multiple DVD volumes bug #912.
- Look at mondo/mindi
- Don't restore Solaris Door files:
#define S_IFDOOR in st_mode.

+- Possibly allow SD to spool even if a tape is not mounted.
- It appears to me that you have run into some sort of race
condition where two threads want to use the same Volume and they
were both given access. Normally that is no problem. However,
apparently not. This happened when I removed the pool directive and
started the director.
- Add Where: client:/.... to restore job report.
+- Ensure that moving a purged Volume in ua_purge.c to the RecyclePool
+ does the right thing.
+- FD-SD quick disconnect
+- Building the in memory restore tree is slow.
