+============= New Freature Requests after vote of 26 Jan 2007 ========
+Item n: Enable to relocate files and directories when restoring
+ Date: 2007-03-01
+ Origin: Eric Bollengier <eric@eb.homelinux.org>
+ Status:
+
+ What: The where= option is not powerful enough. It will be
+ a great feature if bacula can restore a file in the
+ same directory, but with a different name, or in
+ an other directory without recreating the full path.
+
+ Why: When i want to restore a production environment to a
+ development environment, i just want change the first
+ directory. ie restore /prod/data/file.dat to /rect/data/file.dat.
+ At this time, i have to move by hand files. You must have a big
+ dump space to restore and move data after.
+
+ When i use Linux or SAN snapshot, i mount them to /mnt/snap_xxx
+ so, when a restore a file, i have to move by hand
+ from /mnt/snap_xxx/file to /xxx/file. I can't replace a file
+ easily.
+
+ When a user ask me to restore a file in its personal folder,
+ (without replace the existing one), i can't restore from
+ my_file.txt to my_file.txt.old witch is very practical.
+
+
+ Notes: I think we can enhance the where= option very easily by
+ allowing regexp expression. (by replacing bregex by libpcre
+ see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PCRE and http://www.pcre.org/)
+
+ Since, many users think that regexp are not user friendly, i think
+ that bat, bconsole or brestore must provide a simple way to
+ configure where= option (i think to something like in
+ openoffice "search and replace").
+
+ Ie, if user uses where=/tmp/bacula-restore, we keep the old
+ fashion.
+
+ If user uses something like where=s!/prod!/test!, files will
+ be restored from /prod/xxx to /test/xxx.
+
+ If user uses something like where=s/$/.old/, files will
+ be restored from /prod/xxx.txt to /prod/xxx.txt.old.
+
+ If user uses something like where=s/txt$/old.txt/, files will
+ be restored from /prod/xxx.txt to /prod/xxx.old.txt
+
+ if user uses something like where=s/([a-z]+)$/old.$1/, files will
+ be restored from /prod/xxx.ext to /prod/xxx.old.ext
+
+Item n: Implement Catalog directive for Pool resource in Director
+configuration
+ Origin: Alan Davis adavis@ruckus.com
+ Date: 6 March 2007
+ Status: Submitted
+
+ What: The current behavior is for the director to create all pools
+ found in the configuration file in all catalogs. Add a
+ Catalog directive to the Pool resource to specify which
+ catalog to use for each pool definition.
+
+ Why: This allows different catalogs to have different pool
+ attributes and eliminates the side-effect of adding
+ pools to catalogs that don't need/use them.
+
+ Notes:
+
+
+Item n: Implement NDMP protocol support
+ Origin: Alan Davis
+ Date: 06 March 2007
+ Status: Submitted
+
+ What: Network Data Management Protocol is implemented by a number of
+ NAS filer vendors to enable backups using third-party
+ software.
+
+ Why: This would allow NAS filer backups in Bacula without incurring
+ the overhead of NFS or SBM/CIFS.
+
+ Notes: Further information is available:
+ http://www.ndmp.org
+ http://www.ndmp.org/wp/wp.shtml
+ http://www.traakan.com/ndmjob/index.html
+
+ There are currently no viable open-source NDMP
+ implementations. There is a reference SDK and example
+ app available from ndmp.org but it has problems
+ compiling on recent Linux and Solaris OS'. The ndmjob
+ reference implementation from Traakan is known to
+ compile on Solaris 10.
+
+ Notes (Kern): I am not at all in favor of this until NDMP becomes
+ an Open Standard or until there are Open Source libraries
+ that interface to it.
