Kern's ToDo List
- 17 April 2003
+ 22 June 2003
-Documentation to do: (a little bit at a time)
+Documentation to do: (any release a little bit at a time)
- Document running a test version.
- Document query file format.
- Document static linking
-- Document how to automatically backup all local partitions
- Document problems with Verify and pruning.
- Document how to use multiple databases.
-- Add a section to the doc on Manual cycling of Volumes.
+- For FreeBSD typical /dev/nrsa0 and for mtx /dev/pass1
+- VXA drives have a "cleaning required"
+ indicator, but Exabyte recommends preventive cleaning after every 75
+ hours of operation.
+- Lookup HP cleaning recommendations.
+- Lookup HP tape replacement recommendations (see trouble shooting autochanger)
+- Document FInclude ...
+- Document need to add "-u root" to most of MySQL script calls
+ (./create_mys... ./make_my...).
+- Document recycling algorithm.
Testing to do: (painful)
- that ALL console command line options work and are always implemented
- blocksize recognition code.
- multiple simultaneous Volumes
-
-For 1.30 release:
-- Fix Bare Metal restore problem.
-- Implement create "FileSet"?
-- Possibly implement a Slot priority (loaded/not loaded).
+- Test if rewind at end of tape waits for tape to rewind.
+- Test cancel at EOM.
+- Test not zeroing Autochanger slot when it is wrong.
- Test multiple simultaneous Volumes
-
-- Document new transparent Console commands and wait command.
-- Document new immediate File save configuration (walk user
- through first save to file Volume with automatic Volume
- labeling?).
-- Document OPTIMIZE TABLE in MySQL
-- Document labeling a whole magazine using "cat"
-- 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 logrotate
-- Document default file backup
-- Document . command
-
+- Test of last block is correct in JobMedia when splitting file
+ over two volumes.
+- Test recycling and purging (code changed in db_find_next_volume and
+ in recycle.c).
- Figure out how to use ssh or stunnel to protect Bacula communications.
-After 1.30:
-- 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).
+For 1.31 release:
+- Check that Block number in JobMedia are correct.
+- Complain if record dropped in bnet_recv because too long.
+- Suppress Job Name in Jmsg for console
+- Check Jmsg in bnet, may not work, must dup bsock.
+- Use SD returned values in report -- or add them.
+- Increment DB version prior to releasing.
+- Turn off FULL_DEBUG prior to releasing.
+- Implement forward spacing block/file: position_device(bsr) --
+ just before read_block_from_device();
+- On Windows with very long path names, it may be impossible to create
+ a file (and thus restore it) because the total length is too long.
+ We must cd into the directory then create the file without the
+ full path name.
+- Move JobFiles and JobBytes to SD rather than FD -- more correct.
+- Add client name to cram-md5 challenge so Director can immediately
+ verify if it is the correct client.
+- Use runbeforejob to unload, then reload a volume previously used,
+ then the next job run gets an error reading the drive.
+- lstat() is not going to work on Win32 for testing date.
+- Implement a Recycle command
+- Something is not right in last block of fill command.
+- Implement List Volume Job=xxx or List scheduled volumes or
+ Status Director
+- Check if Incremental is working correctly when it looks for the previous Job
+ (Phil's problem).
+- Add next Volume to be used to status output.
+- Make bootstrap filename unique.
+- The bsr for Dan's job has file indexes covering the whole range rather
+ than only the range contained on the volume.
+ Constrain FileIndex to be within range for Volume.
+- Test a second language e.g. french.
+- Start working on Base jobs.
+- Make "make binary-release" work from any directory.
+- Document c:/working directory better than /working directory.
+- Unsaved Flag in Job record.
+- Base Flag in Job record.
+- Implement UnsavedFiles DB record.
+- Implement argc/argv for daemon command line scanning using table driven
+ stuff below.
+- Implement table driven single argc/argv scanner to pickup all arguments.
+ Much like xxx_conf.c scan table.
+ keyword, handler(store_routine), store_address, code, flags, default.
- Make | and < work on FD side.
- Pass prefix_links to FD.
- Implement a M_SECURITY message class.
-- Implement disk spooling. Two parts: 1. Spool to disk then
- immediately to tape to speed up tape operations. 2. Spool to
- disk only when the tape is full, then when a tape is hung move
- it to tape.
- From Phil Stracchino:
It would probably be a per-client option, and would be called
something like, say, "Automatically purge obsoleted jobs". What it
all Differential and Incremental jobs obsoleted by that Full backup.
This would let people minimize the number of tapes they're keeping on
hand without having to master the art of retention times.
-
+- Prohibit backing up archive device (findlib/find_one.c:128)
+- Make Restore report an error if FD or SD term codes are not OK.
+- Add JobLevel in FD status (but make sure it is defined).
+- Restrict characters permitted in a Resource name, and don't permit
+ duplicate names.
+- Implement new serialize subroutines
+ send(socket, "string", &Vol, "uint32", &i, NULL)
+- Audit all UA commands to ensure that we always prompt where possible.
+- Scratch Pool where the volumes can be re-assigned to any Pool.
+
+
+After 1.31:
+- When doing a Backup send all attributes back to the Director, who
+ would then figure out what files have been deleted.
+- Currently in mount.c:236 the SD simply creates a Volume. It should have
+ explicit permission to do so. It should also mark the tape in error
+ if there is an error.
+- Make sure all restore counters are working correctly in the FD.
+- SD Bytes Read is wrong.
+- Configure mtx-changer to have correct path to mtx.
+- Look at ALL higher level routines that call block.c to be sure
+ they don't expect something in errmsg.
+- Investigate doing RAW backup of Win32 partition.
+- Add JobName= to VerifyToCatalog so that all verifies can be done at the end.
+- Add thread specific data to hold the jcr -- send error messages from
+ low level routines by accessing it and using Jmsg().
+- Cancel waiting for Client connect in SD if FD goes away.
+- Testing Tibs job erred and hung director on Storage resource. This was
+ because there were a whole pile of jobs hanging around in the SD
+ waiting for a connection from the FD that was never coming.
+- Possibly update all client records at startup.
+
+- Add Progress command that periodically reports the progress of
+ a job or all jobs.
+- One block was orphaned in the SD probably after cancel.
+- Add all command line arguments to "update", e.g. slot=nn volStatus=append, ...
+
+
+- Examine Bare Metal restore problem (a FD crash exists somewhere ...).
+- Implement timeout in response() when it should come quickly.
+- Implement console @echo command.
+- 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 (this is pthread_kill() Cygwin bug)
+- 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 disk spooling. Two parts: 1. Spool to disk then
+ immediately to tape to speed up tape operations. 2. Spool to
+ disk only when the tape is full, then when a tape is hung move
+ it to tape.
+- Implement a relocatable bacula.spec

- permissive: same as above but frees drive
- if tape is not valid.
- Verify from Volume
- Ensure that /dev/null works
- Need report class for messages. Perhaps
fill in code for "since" option

anyway -- or better yet, a retry time for the job.
- Don't reschedule a job if previous incarnation is still running.
+- Don't reschedule a job if previous incarnation is still running.

Either a bit mask or a string of chars so that
someway to do so with every volume that has less than x% valid
files.

Bacula Projects Roadmap
17 August 2002
- last update 5 January 2003
+ last update 8 May 2003
Item 1: Multiple simultaneous Jobs. (done)
Done -- Restore part needs better implementation to work correctly
+ Also, it needs considerable testing
What: Permit multiple simultaneous jobs in Bacula.
Item 2: Make the Storage daemon use intermediate file storage to buffer data.
-Deferred -- not necessary yet.
+Deferred -- not necessary yet -- possibly implement with Migration.
What: If data is coming into the SD too fast, buffer it to
disk if the user has configured this option.
Item 5: Implement Label templates
+Done
What: This is a mechanism whereby Bacula can automatically create
a tape label for new tapes according to a detailed specification
VolSessionId and VolSessionTime.

- Unsaved File design
-For each Incremental job that is run, there may be files that
-were found but not saved because they were locked (this applies
-only to Windows). Such a system could send back to the Director
-a list of Unsaved files.
-Need:
-- New UnSavedFiles table that contains:
- JobId
- PathId
- FilenameId
-- Then in the next Incremental job, the list of Unsaved Files will be
- feed to the FD, who will ensure that they are explicitly chosen even
- if standard date/time check would not have selected them.
-=============================================================
-
=============================================================
After implementing the above, the user will be able to specify
on a file by file basis (using regular expressions) what options are
applied for the backup.

-Hi Kern,
-
-We have been able to get Amanda to use the HSM as a storage
-device. Someone here wrote a driver for Amanda. BUT, Amanda doesn't
-handle Windows systems very well (or at all without Samba). So I am
-looking for a backup system that has a Windows client. I really like the
-Windows integration of Bacula.
-
-From the command line, its rather trivial to move the data around. We use
-something like-
-
-tar cf - ./files | gzip -c | rsh hsm dd of=path/file.tgz
-
-or if you use GNU tar:
-
-tar czf hsm:path/file.tgz ./files
-
-One idea for you to consider; Sendmail offers pipes in the aliases file;
-(mailpipe: "|/usr/bin/vacation root") and Perl supports pipes in the
-"open" statement (open FILE, "|/bin/nroff -man";) Could you could make a
-pipe available, as a storage device? Then we could use any command that
-handles stdin as a storage destination.
-
-Something like-
-
-Storage {
- Name = HSM-RSH
- Address = hsm
- #Password is not used in rsh, but might be used in ftp.
- Device = "| gzip -c | rsh hsm dd of=path/file.tgz"
- MediaType = Pipe
-}
-
-Storage {
- Name = HSM-FTP
- Address = hsm
- Password = "foobar&-"
- Device = "| ncftpput -c hsm /path/file.bacula"
- MediaType = Pipe
-}
-
->If you have some local storage available, you could
->use Bacula to backup to disk volumes, then use some
->other software (ftp, scp) to move them to the HSM
->machine. However, this is a bit kludgy.
-
-
-It is, but maybe worth a try. Is there some function in Bacula to put
-variables in filenames? i.e. backup.2003-01-15.root
-
-Thanks!
-Bill

-
-==============================================
- The Project for the above
-
-I finally realized that this is not at all
-the same as reader/writer programs or plugins,
-which are alternate ways of accessing the
-files to be backed up. Rather, it is an alternate
-form of storage device, and I have always planned
-that Bacula should be able to handle all sorts
-of storage devices.
-
-So, I propose the following phases:
-
-1. OK from you to invest some time in testing
- this as I implement it (requires that you
- know how to download from the SourceForge
- cvs -- which I imagine is a piece of cake
- for you).
-
-2. Dumb implementation by allowing a device to
- be a fifo for write only.
- Reason: easy to implement, proof of concept.
-
-3. Try reading from fifo but with fixed block
- sizes.
- Reason: proof of concept, easy to implement.
-
-4. Extend reading from fifo (restores) to handle
- variable blocks.
- Reason: requires some delicate low level coding
- which could destabilize all of Bacula.
-
-5. Implementation of above but to a program. E.g.
- Device = "|program" (not full pipeline).
- Reason: routines already exist, and program can
- be a shell script which contains anything.
-6. Add full pipeline as a possibility. E.g.
- Device = "| gzip -c | rsh hsm dd of=path/file.tgz"
- Reason: needs additional coding to implement full
- pipeline (must fire off either a shell or all
- programs and connect their pipes).
-
-There are a good number of details in each step
-that I have left out, but I will specify them at
-every stage, and there may be a few changes as things
-evolve. I expect that to get to stage 5 will take a
-few weeks, and at that point, you will have
-everything you need (just inside a script).
-Stage 6 will probably take longer, but if this
-project pleases you, what we do for 5 should
-be adequate for some time.

+- Bug: fix access problems on files restored on WinXP.
+- Put system type returned by FD into catalog.
+- Finish WIN32_DATA stream code (bextract, check if can handle stream)
+- Make SD keep track of Files, Bytes during restore.
+- If you enter the userid by hand for restore, you get:
+ Enter JobId(s), comma separated, to restore: 74
+ You have selected the following JobId: 74
+ Building directory tree for JobId 74 ...
+ 134645140 items inserted into the tree and marked for extraction.

+- Implement MTIOCERRSTAT on FreeBSD to clear tape error conditions.
+- Shell expansion fails for working_directory in SD from time to time.
+- File the Automatically selected: xxx

+- Default duration with no qualifier is sec should be 1 day
+- zap sd_auth_key in SD after FD connection.
+- Find a solution for the multiple FileSet problem (when it is changed). Add date?
+- Look at Python for a Bacula scripting language -- www.python.org
+- When Marking a file in Restore that is a hard link, also
+ mark the link so that the data will be reloaded.
+- Emergency restore info:
+ - Backup Bacula
+ - Backup working directory

+- Why don't we get an error message from Win32 FD when bootstrap
+ file cannot be created for restore command?
+- Fix Win2000 error with no messages during startup.
+- Make restore more robust in counting error and not immediately bailing
+ out. Also print error message once, but try to continue.
+- Add code to check that blocks are sequential on restore.
+- Remove "rufus" and such references from regress.
+- No READLINE_SRC if found in alternate directory.
+- If ./btape is called without /dev, assume argument is a Storage resource name.
+- Find general solution for sscanf size problems (as well as sprintf. Do at run time?
+- Bytes restored is wrong.
+- The "List last 20 Jobs run" doesnt work correctly in restore.
+ It doesnt show the last 20 jobs , but some older ones.
+- Fix Verify VolumeToCatalog to use BSRs -- it is broken.
+- Implement Release Storage=xxx
+- Fix restore on Win95/98
+- Remove the Jmsg() in sql_find.c:102 or only print on hard error.
+- Implement FileSet VolIndex -- done, but must update old records.
+- Check this below from Phil.
+ This was SD reported data rather than FD data!

+- Should Bacula make an Append tape as Purged when purging?
+- Use switch() in backup.c and restore.c in FD instead of giant if statement.
+- If during a restore, a hard linked file already exists (on option), delete
+ the file and re-link it. This is to avoid the possibility that the
+ user had re-linked the file between the backup and the restore.
+ Do lstat() to see if it is already properly linked.
+ Same for symlinked file.
+ Make sure ifnewer, ifolder, never, ... apply correctly.
+- Flag so that no connect does not error, and Reschedule a job.
+- Implement "Reschedule OnError=yes interval=nnn times=xxx"
+- That restoring a hard link that already exists works correctly.
+ Same for soft link.
+- Make Pool resource handle Counter resources.
+- Fix first block number after label to be zero instead of 1 (reset after label).
+- Grep for Backup OK in regression script.
+- Do NOT reuse same JobId if tape written.
+- Implement non-blocking writes and bsock->terminate in heartbeat
+ thread, or set it in status.c cancel (used pthread_kill() instead of
+ non-blocking I/O.
+- Add restore to specific date.
+- Instrument use_count on DEVICE packets and ensure that the device is
+ being close()ed at the appropriate time.
+- Test long path names (>64 chars) in Windows -- crashes FD?
+- Implement fast block rejection: match_bsr_block().
