Priority:
-- Document fact that CatalogACL now needed for Tray monitor.
-- If you have two Catalogs, it will take the first one.
+- Why doesn't @"xxx abc" work in a conf file?
+- Figure out some way to "automatically" backup conf changes.
+- Look at using posix_fadvise(2) for backups -- see bug #751.
+ Possibly add the code at findlib/bfile.c:795
+- Add the OS version back to the Win32 client info.
+- Restarted jobs have a NULL in the from field.
+- Modify SD status command to indicate when the SD is writing
+ to a DVD (the device is not open -- see bug #732).
+- Look at the possibility of adding "SET NAMES UTF8" for MySQL,
+ and possibly changing the blobs into varchar.
- Check if gnome-console works with TLS.
- Ensure that the SD re-reads the Media record if the JobFiles
does not match -- it may have been updated by another job.
- Look at moving the Storage directive from the Job to the
Pool in the default conf files.

- 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,
this kind of problem. Probably the best solution is to make the
first thread simply start using the Volume in drive 1 rather than
transferring it to drive 0.
-- After pruning, check to see if the Volume retention period has
- expired.
-- Check to see if jcr->stime is lost during rescheduling of
- jobs in jobq.c
- Fix re-read of last block to check if job has actually written
a block, and check if block was written by a different job
(i.e. multiple simultaneous jobs writing).
The problem is that it requires m4, which is not present on all machines
at ./configure time.
-- Get Perl replacement for bregex.c
- Given all the problems with FIFOs, I think the solution is to do something a
little different, though I will look at the code and see if there is not some
simple solution (i.e. some bug that was introduced). What might be a better
3905 Device "LTO-Drive1" (/dev/nst0) open but no Bacula volume is mounted.
If this is not a blank tape, try unmounting and remounting the Volume.
-- Add VolumeState (enable, disable, archive)
+- http://www.dwheeler.com/essays/commercial-floss.html
- Add VolumeLock to prevent all but lock holder (SD) from updating
the Volume data (with the exception of VolumeState).
- The btape fill command does not seem to use the Autochanger
- What happens when you rename a Disk Volume?
- Job retention period in a Pool (and hence Volume). The job would
then be migrated.
-- Detect resource deadlock in Migrate when same job wants to read
- and write the same device.
-- Queue warning/error messages during restore so that they
- are reported at the end of the report rather than being
- hidden in the file listing ...
- Look at -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2
- Add Win32 FileSet definition somewhere
- Look at fixing restore status stats in SD.
-- Make selection of Database used in restore correspond to
- client.
- Look at using ioctl(FIMAP) and FIGETBSZ for sparse files.
http://www.informatik.uni-frankfurt.de/~loizides/reiserfs/fibmap.html
- Implement a mode that says when a hard read error is
("F","Full"),
("D","Diff"),
("I","Inc");
-- Add ACL to restore only to original location.
- Show files/second in client status output.
- Add a recursive mark command (rmark) to restore.
- "Minimum Job Interval = nnn" sets minimum interval between Jobs
block numbers in btape "test". Possibly adjust in Bacula.
- Fix list volumes to output volume retention in some other
units, perhaps via a directive.
-- If opening a tape in read/write mode fails attempt to open
- it in read-only mode, and mark the tape for read only.
- Allow Simultaneous Priorities = yes => run up to Max concurrent jobs even
with multiple priorities.
- If you use restore replace=never, the directory attributes for
- see lzma401.zip in others directory for new compression
algorithm/library.
-- Minimal autochanger handling in Bacula and in btape.
-- Look into how tar does not save sockets and the possiblity of
- not saving them in Bacula (Martin Simmons reported this).
-- Fix restore jobs so that multiple jobs can run if they
- are not using the same tape(s).
- Allow the user to select JobType for manual pruning/purging.
- bscan does not put first of two volumes back with all info in
bscan-test.
are not restored. See bug 213. To fix this requires creating a
list of newly restored directories so that those directory
permissions *can* be restored.
-- Compaction of Disk space by "migrating" Volumes that have pruned
- Jobs (what criteria? size, #jobs, time).
- Add prune all command
- Document fact that purge can destroy a part of a restore by purging
one volume while others remain valid -- perhaps mark Jobs.
- Add tree pane to left of window.
- Add progress meter.
- Max wait time or max run time causes seg fault -- see runtime-bug.txt
-- Document writing to a CD/DVD with Bacula.
-- Add a "base" package to the window installer for pthreadsVCE.dll
- which is needed by all packages.
- Add message to user to check for fixed block size when the forward
space test fails in btape.
- When unmarking a directory check if all files below are unmarked and
- Setup lrrd graphs: (http://www.linpro.no/projects/lrrd/) Mike Acar.
- Revisit the question of multiple Volumes (disk) on a single device.
- Add a block copy option to bcopy.
-- Investigate adding Mac Resource Forks.
- Finish work on Gnome restore GUI.
- Fix "llist jobid=xx" where no fileset or client exists.
- For each job type (Admin, Restore, ...) require only the really necessary
to start a job or pass its DHCP obtained IP number.
- Implement a query tape prompt/replace feature for a console
- Copy console @ code to gnome2-console
-- Make AES the only encryption algorithm see
- http://csrc.nist.gov/CryptoToolkit/aes/). It's
- an officially adopted standard, has survived peer
- review, and provides keys up to 256 bits.
-- Take a careful look at SetACL http://setacl.sourceforge.net
- Make tree walk routines like cd, ls, ... more user friendly
by handling spaces better.
- Make sure that Bacula rechecks the tape after the 20 min wait.
in the "short" pool to the "long" pool if this pool runs out of volume
space?
- What to do about "list files job=xxx".
-- Get and test MySQL 4.0
- Look at how fuser works and /proc/PID/fd that is how Nic found the
file descriptor leak in Bacula.
- Implement WrapCounters in Counters.
run the job but don't save the files.
- Make things like list where a file is saved case independent for
Windows.
-- Implement migrate
- Use autochanger to handle multiple devices.
-- 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.
- Implement a Recycle command
-- Test a second language e.g. french.
- Start working on Base jobs.
- Implement UnsavedFiles DB record.
- From Phil Stracchino:
- If SD cannot open a drive, make it periodically retry.
- Add more of the config info to the tape label.
-- If tape is marked read-only, then try opening it read-only rather than
- failing, and remember that it cannot be written.
- Refine SD waiting output:
Device is being positioned
> Device is being positioned for append
- Compare tape to Client files (attributes, or attributes and data)
- Make all database Ids 64 bit.
- Allow console commands to detach or run in background.
-- Fix status delay on storage daemon during rewind.
- Add SD message variables to control operator wait time
- Maximum Operator Wait
- Minimum Message Interval
Migration: Move a backup from one Volume to another
Clone: Copy a backup -- two Volumes

-Migration triggered by:
- Number of Jobs
- Number of Volumes
- Age of Jobs
- Highwater mark (keep total size)
- Lowwater mark
