current version of Bacula that is under development. This version will be
released at some later date, probably near the end of 2010.
+\section{Purge Migration Job when Completed}
+
+A new directive may be added to the Migration Job definition in the Director
+configuration file to purge the job migrated at the end of a migration.
+
+For example:
+\begin{verbatim}
+Job {
+ Name = "migrate-job"
+ Type = Migrate
+ Level = Full
+ Client = localhost-fd
+ FileSet = "Full Set"
+ Messages = Standard
+ Storage = DiskChanger
+ Pool = Default
+ Selection Type = Job
+ Selection Pattern = ".*Save"
+...
+ Purge Migrated Job = yes
+}
+\end{verbatim}
+
+\medskip
+
+This project was submited by Dunlap Blake, testing and documentation was funded
+by Bacula Systems.
+
+\section{Job Bandwidth Limitation}
+
+A new directive may be added to FileDaemon or Director to allow users to limit
+the bandwidth used by a Job on a Client. It can be set for all Jobs globally,
+per Directors in the File Daemon configuration, or per Job in the Director
+configuration file.
+
+For example:
+\begin{verbatim}
+FileDaemon {
+ Name = localhost-fd
+ Working Directory = /some/path
+ Pid Directory = /some/path
+ ...
+ Maximum Bandwidth Per Job = 5MB/s
+}
+\end{verbatim}
+
+The above example would cause any jobs running with the FileDaemon to not
+exceed 5MB/s of throughput when sending data to the Storage Daemon.
+
+You can specify the speed parameter in k/s, kb/s, m/s, mb/s.
+
+For example:
+\begin{verbatim}
+Job {
+ Name = locahost-data
+ FileSet = FS_localhost
+ Accurate = yes
+ ...
+ Maximum Bandwidth = 5MB/s
+ ...
+}
+\end{verbatim}
+
+The above example would cause job \texttt{localhost-data} to not exceed 5MB/s
+of throughput when sending data to the Storage Daemon.
+
+A new console commande \texttt{setbandwidth} permits to set dynamically the
+maximum throughput of a running Job or for future jobs of a Client.
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+* setbandwidth limit=1000000 jobid=10
+\end{verbatim}
+
+The \texttt{limit} parameter is in kb/s.
+

+Enterprise Edition and Community Edition.
+
+\section{Support for MSSQL Block Level Backup}
+
+This project was funded by Bacula Systems and is available with Bacula
+Enterprise Edition.
+
+\section{Support for NDMP protocol}
+
+The new \texttt{ndmp} Plugin is able to backup a NAS through NDMP protocol
+using \textbf{Filer to server} approach, where the Filer is backing up across
+the LAN to your Bacula server.
+
+Accurate option should be turned on in the Job resource.
+\begin{verbatim}
+Job {
+ Accurate = yes
+ FileSet = NDMPFS
+ ...
+}
+
+FileSet {
+ Name = NDMPFS
+ ...
+ Include {
+ Plugin = "ndmp:host=nasbox user=root pass=root file=/vol/vol1"
+ }
+}
+\end{verbatim}
+
+This project was funded by Bacula Systems and is available with Bacula Enterprise
+Edition.
+
+\section{Incremental/Differential Block Level Difference Backup}
+
+The new \texttt{delta} Plugin is able to compute and apply signature-based file
+differences. It can be used to backup only changes in a big binary file like Outlook
+PST, VirtualBox/VmWare images or database files.
+
+It supports both Incremental and Differential backups and stores signatures
+database in the File Daemon working directory. This plugin is available on all
+plateform including Windows 32 and 64bit.
+
+Accurate option should be turned on in the Job resource.
+\begin{verbatim}
+Job {
+ Accurate = yes
+ FileSet = DeltaFS
+ ...
+}
+
+FileSet {
+ Name = DeltaFS
+ ...
+ Include {
+ Plugin = "delta:/home/eric/.VirtualBox/HardDisks/lenny-i386.vdi"
+ }
+}
+\end{verbatim}
+
+This project was funded by Bacula Systems and is available with Bacula Enterprise
+Edition.
+
+\section{Include All Windows Drives in FileSet}
+
+The \texttt{alldrives} Windows Plugin allows you to include all local drives with
+a simple directive. This plugin is available for Windows 64 and 32 bit.
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+FileSet {
+ Name = EverythingFS
+ ...
+ Include {
+ Plugin = "alldrives"
+ }
+}
+\end{verbatim}
+
+This project was funded by Bacula Systems and is available with Bacula
+Enterprise Edition.
+
\section{Changes in Bvfs (Bacula Virtual FileSystem)}
Bat has now a bRestore panel that uses Bvfs to display files and
\texttt{Important}, the Bvfs module is not currently compatible with BaseJobs,
Copy and Migration jobs.

\subsection*{General notes}

To get all JobId needed to restore a particular job, you can use the
-\texttt{.bvfs_get_jobids} command.
+\texttt{.bvfs\_get\_jobids} command.

\subsection*{Generating Bvfs cache}

\subsection*{Get all versions of a specific file}
Bvfs allows you to find all versions of a specific file for a given Client with
-the \texttt{.bvfs_version} command. To avoid problems with encoding, this function

uses only PathId and FilenameId. The jobid argument is mandatory but unused.

\subsection*{Cleanup after restore}
To drop the table used by the restore command, you can use the
-\texttt{.bvfs_cleanup} command.
+\texttt{.bvfs\_cleanup} command.

\section{Additions to RunScript variables}
You can have access to JobBytes and JobFiles using %b and %f in your runscript
command.
RunAfterJob = "/bin/echo Job=%j JobBytes=%b JobFiles=%f"
\end{verbatim}
-\section{Changes in drivetype.exe}
-
-Now the \texttt{drivetype.exe} program allows you to list all local hard
-drives. It can help to build dynamic FileSet on Windows.

-File = "\\|\"c:/program files/bacula/bin32/drivetype\" -l -a"
