+- 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
+- Look at: http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/cfg2html
+ and http://www.openeyet.nl/scc/ for managing customer changes
Priority:
+- Plugins
+- Scripts
+- Duplicate Jobs
+ Run, Fail, Skip, Higher, Promote, CancelLowerLevel
+ Proximity
+- 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
> configuration string value to a CRYPTO_CIPHER_* value, if anyone is
> interested in implementing this functionality.
-- Ensure that moving a purged Volume in ua_purge.c to the RecyclePool
- does the right thing.
- 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

- 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.
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
