Documentation to do: (a little bit at a time)
- Document running a test version.
- Document how to use multiple databases.
- Add a section to the doc on Manual cycling of Volumes.
-- Document logrotate
-- Document default file backup
-- Document . command
Testing to do: (painful)
- that ALL console command line options work and are always implemented
- multiple simultaneous Volumes
For 1.30 release:
-- Do not ignore SIGCHLD
+- Bug: up arrow prints garbage in command line on gnome-console!
+- Bug: fix access problems on files restored on WinXP (possibly do
+ this in a later update.
- Fix Bare Metal restore problem.
-- Fix "access not allowed" for backup of files on WinXP.
+- Test multiple simultaneous Volumes
+
- Document new transparent Console commands and wait command.
-- Document new immediate File save capability.
+- Document new immediate File save configuration (walk user
+ through first save to file Volume with automatic Volume labeling?).
- Document OPTIMIZE TABLE in MySQL
-- Fix watchdog pthread crash on Win32
+- 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 . and @ commands
+- Document run when.
- Figure out how to use ssh or stunnel to protect Bacula communications.
After 1.30:
+- Implement a Slot priority (loaded/not loaded).
+- 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
+- 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.
- Add IP address to authentication failures.
- Add a default File storage so that new users can do backup
and restores right away.
+- Forbid sbindir and with-subsys-dir from being the same (otherwise
+ the binary gets deleted when the daemon is stopped in the
+ rc.d/inid.d directory.
+- Do not ignore SIGCHLD
+- Add Cleaning to list of volume statuses
