Thanks to Gregory - for reporting this. It is fixed in this release. -- Due to an oversight, "Maximum Job Spool Size" was is not implemented. - It will be in the next release. -- To build wx-console on Linux. Download wxWidgets 2.4.2 from wxwidgets.org, - build and install it on your system, then add --enable-wx-console on - your Bacula ./configure and it will be built and installed. -- For both the Win32 and Linux GTK versions of wx-console, you must - create a wx-console.conf in the current directory. The contents are - identical to a bconsole.conf file. - -Other items: -- Make SD utility programs accept device name as well as archive device - on command line. -- Update docs -- Remove old debug code from Win32 FD. -- A new version of depkgs-win32 was released containing the Win32 - wxWidgets source code. -- Disable SIGHUP code in Director which is not yet complete. - - -Release 1.34.1: -- Autochanger users, please note you must add %d to the end of the - changer command line in your Device resource in your bacula-sd.conf - file. -- There is a new wx-console program that does restores with a - tree allowing you to visually select what files are to be restored. - It is in a preliminary stage of development, but can be easily - be built under Linux with GTK, and with just a bit more difficulty - under Win32 with MinGW. -- Fixed a major race condition in the job scheduler when multiple - simultaneous jobs is enabled. This occurred only when on job had - blocked another because of resource usage. -- Fixed crash in SD during restore. -- Changed the backup report to indicate "Backup OK -- with warnings - if any warning messages were generated. -- Change output of restore report to indicate: - "Restore OK -- warning file count mismatch" -- Make backup report say "Backup OK with warnings" if either FD or SD - report any non-fatal errors. -- Modify bscan to print some elementary statistics (#Jobs, #Files, ...) - added to catalog. -- Added --enable-wx-console and updated Makefile.in -- Fix mtx-changer so that the calling sequence is compatible - with the previous version (the new one required arguments that - were not necessarily used). -- Document how to use stunnel with Bacula. -- Fix crash in query command. -- Remove schedule from the default restore job. -- Fix data spooler to use min/max tape blocking factors. -- Automatically turn of conio if library not found instead of bombing. -- Cleaned up a lot of copyright dates. -- Try to keep spool statistics from going negative. -- Added new Pools chapter.

It contains defective pthreads code. -- The restore default is changed to have nothing selected by default. - You must either enter: "restore all" or after getting into the tree - selection prompt enter "mark *" to have everything selected. -- In previous versions the "all" keyword on the restore command caused - it to return without user interaction after selecting everything. - This function is now replaced by the "done" keyword (more logical). - The "all" keyword now causes everything to be selected by default. -- The default tape driver behavior is now to write only a single EOF - at the end of the tape. For most tape drives, this is totally - transparent and nothing needs to be done. For FreeBSD see below. -- FreeBSD users NOTE!!!!! - You may need the following two records to your SD Device resource for - tape drives. - - TWOEOF = yes - Fast Forward Space File = no - - The "Fast Forward Space File" is surely needed, and the TWOEOF - is needed on some systems and not others. Running the btape - "test" command will tell you. If you get an error with TWOEOF set - to yes, set it to no. - -- If you want either bsmtp or bconsole on Win32, you will need - to load the 1.32 version along with cygwin1.dll.

In other words, you should +not have to upgrade all your File daemons when you upgrade. There is +no database upgrade needed from version 2.0.x to 2.2.0 nor from version +2.2.x to version 2.4.0 + +================== Warning !!!!!! ========================== +As of Version 2.4.0, the Win32 FD should not descend into +any reparse point directory or reparse mount points unless the +specified directory is explicitly mentioned at the top level of +FileSet (as with Unix). A file that is linked to another file will +be backed up, much like Unix hardlinked files. If you want +reparse directories backed up, you must explicitly include them +in your FileSet. +============================================================== + +This release consists mainly of a number of bug fixes since 2.2.x +but most importantly, a rewrite of significant portions of the +Storage daemon reservation and autochanger code. This rewritten +code is simpler, more stable, and works much better, particularly +with multiple drive autochangers than the prior code did. That +said, there are still a number of issues to be resolved. Note, +the new code has not been tested in manual volume mount situations. + +Bugs fixed: + 1095, 1086, 1091, 1070, 1041, 1083, 1078, 1066, 1068, 1038 + 1062, 1065, 1046, 1047, 1031 + +New features: +- You can now build bat without the QWT libraries.

Previously too + many were suppressed. This should fix bug #1070. +- Fix Win32 reparse points. Bacula will not recurse into any + reparse point directory, including mount points, unless the + directory is explicitly mentioned at the top level (same as + with Unix). A file that is linked to another file will be + backed up -- much as Unix does for hardlinked files. + This fixes bug #1041. +- Remove StorageId test when pruning and recycling (Eric's changes). +- Fix buffer overruns detected by Coverity. +- Implement --without-qwt +- Fix layout of restore tree dialog +- Add configure bat QWT libraries, so that bat can be built + with or without the QWT libaries. +- Implement regression that explicitly tests swapping a Volume + from one drive to another. +- Enhance disk-changer to detect most error conditions. +- Fix SD code so that it properly swaps a Volume between drives. + This fixes bug #1083. +- Prevent a Volume that is being swapped from being freed from + the volume list. This will most likely fix, at least partially, + bug #1083. +- Fix strippath so that it does not get a buffer overrun and crash FD. + This fixes bug #1078. +- Make inability to change owner/group when creating a dir only a + warning rather than an error. +- Fix SQL query in migration code +- Fix bat seg fault at termination. +- Add Bacula generated version to bat about box. +- Backport development stream SD reservation system changes. +- When wrong volume is mounted during read, unload_autochanger. +- Stop searching for Volumes in SD askdir if DIR returns the + same volume name twice in a row. +- Rework class structures for VOLRES, DCR, and DEVICE to make + the method names a bit more logical, and for more logically + handling the responsibilities. +- Remove redundant code in terminating the scheduler that just + causes a seg fault in many cases. +- Improve algorithm for detecting pre-reserved volume and + swapping volumes. +- Prevent volume from being released while being swapped. +- Refactor parts of stored/mount.c +- Add sanity checks for VolWriteTime and VolReadTime +- Take care of bad clock changes while computing VolWriteTime + and VolReadTime. This should fix or limit #1066 +- Correct error string numbers in dird/catreq.c +- Restructure reserving, acquiring, and mounting volumes. Calls to + autochanger are deferred for mount.c -- simplifes the code. +- Do not prune any running job. It just fails the job. +- Lock the volumes when changing dev->reserved_device and marking + the volume unused otherwise the device can get reserved by + another job before the volume is released, thus blocking it. +- Correct some SD catalog request error messages. +- Turn off code in read_record that causes a seg fault in the SD + when reading past an EOS_LABEL. +- Turn off unloading the autochanger in reserve.c as it just + causes problems. +- Lock volumes when unreserving a device. +- Do not mark volume unused when recycling. +- Fix bug #1068 fixes a SD crash when using Virtual autochanger. +- Generate correct JobMedia records during spooling/despooling when + running concurrent jobs. Thanks to Tom Ivar Helbekkmo + for excellent analysis and testing. +- *Massive* commit of all fixes and back ports to create 2.2.9 + Mostly SD reservations enhancements. +- Fix Win32 FD backup/restore memory leak due to improper termination + of BackupRead/Write.

For more details, please see the technotes-2.1 file. +- Fixed a seg fault reported by Frank Sweetser that depended on + exact path lengths, but the problem was in bsnprintf.c +- Double quoting include filenames (@xxx) in Bacula conf files is now + possible, thanks to a patch by Michael Stapelberg. +- You can pipe input to include filenames (@|prog) by using a vertical + bar, thanks to the above patch. +- A daylight savings time bug in the Win32 bsmpt was fixed by a patch from + Nerijus Baliunas. +- Marc Cousins submitted a patch that permits building the PostgreSQL + driver with version 8.3. +- The configure option --archivedir has been changed to --with-archivedir + +Version 2.2.6 is a minor bug fix release to version 2.2.5 +- It fixes bugs: #1003, 942, 982, 990(response only), 991, + 993, 986, 976. +- Fix bat crash wen it cannot connect to Director. +- Fix joblist failure bug in bat. + +Version 2.2.5 is a major bug fix release to version 2.2.4 +- It fixes the following bugs: #961, 962, 963, 969, 968, 960, + 964, (possibly 935 and 903), 953, 953, 967, 966, 965, 954, + 957, 908, 958, and 955. +- It also improves listing performance problems in bat pointed + out by Chris Howells. + +Version 2.2.4 is a minor bug fix release to version 2.2.3 +- Possible fix for authorization problems bug #953. +- Possible fix for bug #908. +- Add waits to multiple exit detection code to try to force pid + file to always be deleted. +- Restore good dev.tar.gz to rescue set appropriate binary property. + This fixes bug #950. +- Fix seg fault in error exit of acquire_for_read after unsuccessfully + trying to switch drives by checking for blocking before unblocking. + Fixes bug #906. +- Cancel storage daemon in all cases where FD reports error. This + should fix virtually all cases of bug #920 and will ensure that Devices + are released as soon as possible. +- Fix error message that was clobbered when Dir tells SD it does not + have write permission on Volume. This should fix a minor point + in bug #942, but not the main problem. +- Fix migration code to get correct Volume name with multiple volumes + by skipping |. Fixes bug #936. +- Implement patch supplied by Landon to fix bug #944 where using + TLS with bconsole uses 99+% of the CPU. +- Fix bug #946 about 'bacula-dir -t' which doesn't works + as expected. +- Using 'm' in bconsole will show messages as in prior versions + and not memory usage. + +- Note, you need GTK >= 2.10 to be able to link the Tray Monitor + program. + +Version 2.2.3 is a critical bug fix release to version 2.2.2 +- Fix bug #935, and possibly also bug #903 where files were not + restored. MediaId was not properly set in JobMedia record after + a Volume change. This bug is known to affect all versions from + 2.0.0 on, and probably versions prior to that. A detailed analysis + of the bug can be found at: + + http://www.bacula.org/downloads/bug-395.txt - ./drop_bacula_tables - ./make_bacula_tables - - which will delete ALL prior catalog information, or you can - update your 1.32 database with: - - ./update_bacula_tables - - Please save your old database before dropping the tables or doing - an upgrade or you may regret it later. -- If you are updating versions older than 1.32, you can look in - the updatedb directory for scripts that you can use. You will need - to manually set the paths for your system. - -- smtp has now become bsmtp -- you *must* modify your .conf files. -- console has now become bconsole. -- console.conf is now bconsole.conf -- Please don't underestimate the repercussions of the bsmtp and bconsole - name changes! - +- Add ./configure search in qwt-qt4 for qwt package +- Apply Martin Simmons patch that should turn off the new API usage + when batch insert is turned off allowing building on older + PostgreSQLs. +- Note, you need GTK >= 2.10 to be able to link the Tray Monitor + program. + +Version 2.2.2 is a minor bug fix release to 2.2.1 +- Detect if new PosgreSQL batch insert API is present. +- Correct incorrect mempool call causing Director crash on older + systems that do not have va_copy(). +- Update spec files for 2.2.1 release + +Version 2.2.1 is mainly a minor bug fix release to version 2.2.0, + the main changes since 2.2.0 are: +- Fixed bugs #921, 930, and 923. +- More portable timezone offset in bsmtp thaks to Attila Fülöp. +- Fix several bat issues. +- Use GTK+ calls instead of egg files in tray-monitor. +- Win32 service routines rewritten +- Updated projects file +Please see the ChangeLog for details. + +Notes on 2.2.0 release follow: + +Areas requiring caution or testing: +- You must have the thread safe version of MySQL client libraries loaded + to build with MySQL enabled. +- Volumes are pruned only when absolutely necessary -- this may cause + your database to grow compared to prior Bacula versions. +- Solaris door and even port files are no longer restored (equivalent + to what we do with sockets). +- SQLite is no longer supported for Solaris -- it fails too often with + bus errors. SQLite3 should work on Solaris. +- The default setting for SQLite3 is now 'PRAGMA synchronous=OFF'. + This makes it run 30 times faster, but increases the possiblity + of a corrupted database if your server shuts down unexpectedly. + The default behavior can be changed in src/version.h +- Restore on Win32, and in particular on Vista is untested. Please + test before relying on it. It should backup and restore reparse + points. +- Win32 servers are untested, and very likely not to work. + +The major new features are: +- Much faster insertion of attributes (somewhere around 10 times), + many thanks to Eric Bollengier and Marc Cousin. +- First release of bat (Bacula Administration Tool). Note to build + bat you must explicitly enable it on the ./configure line, you + must have the Qt4 version 4.2 or later libraries loaded, the qwt + (Qt Graphics) package loaded, and qmake and the other Qt4 tools + must be available. Most of the implementation was done by Dirk Bartley. +- Red/Black restore in memory tree (500 times faster loading). +- The Regex Where code to allow easier relocation of restored files + thanks to Eric. +- Socket level heartbeat for all connections (untested). +- posix_fadvise() use in the FD to improve performance reduces + swapping due to opening/reading lots of files. Win32 equivalent + implemented. +- Much improved Volume reservation code that should eliminate most + conflicts experienced in multiple drive autochangers. +- Simpler locking in the SD in the reservation system. +- Detection of file size/date change during backup if enabled. +- New Recycle Pool feature -- thanks to Eric. +- Efficient implementation of very large include/exclude lists. +- Volumes are no longer pruned during 'status dir' +- Pruning is now more efficient, and if a Volume is purged, + during pruning, it is immediately discovered. +- License is now GPL v2 without modifications, fix a few copyright + mistakes made when adding FSFE copyright notice. + +New ./configure options: +- --enable-bwx-console +- --enable-bat +- --with-qwt= +- --with-db-name= +- --with-db-user= +- --enable-batch-insert + +New bconsole commands: +- exec +- memory +- update recyclepool +- .sql +- .api +- .pwd (in restore tree) +- restoreclient (keyword) +- backupclient (keyword) +- regexwhere (keyword) +- update jobid (new command) +- recyclepool (keyword) New directives: -- "Close on Poll = yes/no" in SD Device resource. -- "Volume Poll Interval = time-interval" in SD Device resource. -- "Two EOF = yes/no" in SD Device resource. -- "Maximum Network Buffer Size = size" in SD Device resource. -- "Maximum Network Buffer Size = size" in FD FileDaemon (or Client) resource. -- "Console" new resource in Director conf file. - New directives: Name, Description, Password, JobACL, ClientACL, - StorageACL, ScheduleACL, RunACL, PoolACL, CommandACL, - FileSetACL, CatalogACL. -- "Max Run Time = duration" in Director Job resource. -- "Max Wait Time = duration" in Director Job resource (not fully implemented). -- "JobDefs = name-of-resource" in Director Job resource. -- "Jobdefs" new resource in Director. Same directives as for a Job. -- "Full Backup Pool = xxx" in Job resource in the Director. -- "Incremental Backup Pool = xxx" in Job resource in the Director. -- "Differential Backup Pool = xxx" in Job resource in the Director. -- Three new options on the Run override statement in a Schedule resource: - FullPool=xxx - IncrementalPool=xxx - DifferentialPool=xxx -- SpoolData=yes/no in DIR Job resource -- SpoolData=yes/no in Run override directive. -- MaximumSpoolSize in SD Device resource -- MaximumJobSpoolSize in SD Device resource -- SpoolDirectory in SD Device resource. -- Drive Index in SD Device resource for using two autochanger - drives. -- mtimeonly=yes/no on Include directive. -- keepatime=yes/no on Include directive. - -New Commands: -- "SetIP" -- Added "pool=xxx" to restore command line. -- Added "fileset=xxx" to restore command line. -- Fixed "storage=xxx" on restore command line. -- "markdir" command in restore tree. -- "unmarkdir" command in restore tree. -- "quit" command in restore tree. -- Trace option on "setdebug trace=1/0 ..." -- Update slots scan -- The "all" keyword on the restore command marks all files by default. -- The "done" keyword prevents user interaction with the tree -- used - mostly for batch scripting. - - -Additional changes: -- Slackware support -- On multiple ctl-c, exit from console quickly. -- Implement "delete job jobid=xxx jobid=yyy ..." -- Implement "purge volume=xxx volume=yyy ..." -- Add -p option to all SD programs including bacula-sd. It causes - Bacula to proceed or forge on in case of I/O errors. It is unlikely - this will help, and it is strongly recommended against running - the daemon with this option in production. -- Add a missing unlock in the jobq handler. -- Fix bug where a soft linked file and a directory had the same name - by treating the soft link as a directory and putting the entries under - it. This fixes the bug reported by Alexander Mueller. -- Apply Jess Guardiani's second fix to list autochanger volumes without - opening the drive (necessary on FreeBSD if no tape is in the drive). -- Reworked the command line handler in restore to walk through the - arguments one at a time. This makes the file= entries work correctly. - Also reworked the code that takes the MediaType and finds a - storage device. -- Add quit command to restore tree handler. -- Make restore tree handler remember if a hard link is present, and - in doing a mark, only get database entry if there is a hard link. - mark commands thus run at least 2 orders of magnitude faster. -- Add files=xxx field to run command submitted for restore. -- Add yes to restore run command if either yes or run is command line - argument. -- Make "yes" on command line argument skip prompt for modification of - run job. -- Add markdir and unmarkdir -- both affect only the directory in - question and do not do a recursive descent. -- Make tree command automatically mark all higher level directories to - be restored when a directory or a file is selected. Such directories - are indicated by preceding the name with a + to indicate that only - the directory entry is selected and not the whole directory tree. -- Modify a few tree commands to walk through all arguments rather than - just taking the first one. -- Improved btape "test" and "fill" commands. -- The ability to ask the Storage daemon on a device by device basis - to "poll" the tape drive at a given interval (minimum 1 minute). If - a tape is found, its label is read and if appropriate it is used. - This eliminates the need to do "mount" commands. -- The ability to close and re-open the device when a poll occurs. - This permits dealing with certain recalcitrant autochangers that - invalidate devices (typically on FreeBSD). -- Dan Langille has written a PostgreSQL driver for Bacula. -- Implement "update slots scan" that reads the volume label(s). -- The full form of the scan is "scan=1,2,4-5,7". With no specification, - all occupied slots are scanned. -- Turn off changer Volumes that are not current in the changer when - an "update slots" is done, or if any tape operation discovers that - the right volume is not in the slot. -- The console program will run all commands it finds in ~/.bconsolerc - at startup. -- Add Dan Langille's changes to the bacula start/stop script that - permit dropping root permissions just after startup. -- New version 1.5.5-1 Cygwin. -- Modify SD to update the catalog database when it is shutdown, - even if the job is canceled. -- Fixed seg fault in restore of multiple simultaneous jobs to - a single Volume. -- Fixed thread race problem in multiple simultaneous jobs to - a single Volume where the volume label is not in the first - tape block, so the tape is not recognized. -- Restore directory tree automatically selects all higher level - directories to be restored. -- Implement conio.c to use in console program -- mini-readline. -- Enhance "fill" command of btape -- simpler output. Use -v to - cause last block to be dumped after write and after re-read. -- Added an autochanger test to the btape "test" command. It is - automatically invoked if the autochanger is properly configured. It - is still a bit primitive but covers the essential of testing - the mtx-changer script with your autochanger. -- Select the oldest LastWritten volume during recycling. -- Added forward space file test to btape "test" command. -- All 1.32d patches applied. -- Fixed seg fault in restore of multiple simultaneous jobs to - a single Volume. -- Fixed thread race problem in multiple simultaneous jobs to - a single Volume where the volume lable is not in the first - tape block, so the tape is not recognized. +- Heartbeat Interval (bconsole.conf) +- Heartbeat Interval (bacula-dir.conf in Director, Client, Storage) +- TLS Allowed CN (bacula-dir.conf in Client) +- Regex Where (bacula-dir.conf in Job) +- Strip Prefix (bacula-dir.conf in Job) +- Add Prefix (bacula-dir.conf in Job) +- Add Suffex (bacula-dir.conf in Job) +- Recycle Pool (bacula-dir.conf in Pool) +- FailJobOnError (bacula-dir.conf in RunScript) +- CheckFileChanges (bacula-dir.conf in FileSet) +- StripPath (bacula-dir.conf in FileSet) + +Other features or bug fixes: +- Fixed bugs: 916, 910, 917, 914, 906, 907, + 842, 830, 893, 861, 888, 886, 807, 877, 872 + 885, 887, 864, 874, 882, 881, 863, 859, + 856, 854, 845, 847, 846, 809, 772, + 822, 825, 824, 808, 802, 797, 798, 795, 789, 791, + 788, 780, 763, 782, 612, 767, 775, 621, 772, 764, + 766, 621, 761, 755, 750, 741, 747, 742, 744, and 743. +- Configure bat with --enable-bat. Define qwt libraries with + --with-qwt=. See Installation chapter of manual for details. +- Create a depkgs-qt package that has both Qt4 and qwt, which are + needed to build bat. Most modern Linux systems will have both + these packages in the distro. +- Storage overrides delete all previous storage definitions instead + of prepending. +- One should be able to mount and unmount removable devices if the + Device resource has Removeable Media set and the mount and unmount + directives are defined. +- ./configure will do a better job of searching for qwt libraries. +- The Win32 version can no longer be shutdown from the tray monitor. + Use the command line or the Services panne. +- Keep prune_volumes() from pruning the whole Scratch pool. +- More debug output in status storage. +- Correct moving a Scratch volume from pool to pool (some + critical columns were lost). +- Different locking in reservations and despooling systems, + which means more micro-locking and less macro-locking, which + should give a lot more concurrency at the expense of slightly + (<0.1%) more overhead due to more locking/unlocking, but + concurrent jobs should run much faster. +- Additional drive reservation algorithm that should solve a lot of + the problems experienced with multiple drive autochangers. +- Storage daemon status command enhanced to more clearly show Volume, + pool and media type when a job is waiting. +- Made bsmtp work with more strict SMTP servers. +- Detect doubly freed buffers in smartall.c +- wx-console renamed to bwx-console (Fedora request) +- gnome-console renamed to bgnome-console (Fedora request) +- Migration preserves original job's FileSetId +- Spooling implemented for migration jobs. +- Config files can be read through a pipe, by specifying a leading | + in front of the configuration path/filename. +- New memory command (bconsole) that will print the current Director's + memory usage, and an in use buffer dump. +- Console name changed from *Console* to -Console- to accomodate Win32 + filename restrictions. +- Corrected the Win32 ftruncate bug. +- Additional version information added to Job reports. +- New -8 option for bsmtp to specify UTF-8 encoding type. +- bsmtp will no longer add < > to target (from, to, cc) if there + is already a < in the target. +- Prefer Mounted Volumes extended to mean a volume that is being + mounted by another job. +- Runscript timing set to same as version 1.38.11 +- New TLS Allowed CN directive(s) permitted. +- New bconsole 'exec' command to run external script/command. +- Turn on FreeBSD/OpenBSD code to set EOT model on tape. +- Drop from root done before database is opened. +- Database user and name can be configured with: + --with-db-name=name --with-db-user=user +- Turn on wait_for_drive in mtx-changer script. +- Rework how bar codes are handled in mtx-changer script. + This appears to have been an unreported bug. +- Updated nagios plugin supplied by Christian Masopust +- Better restricted console ACL checking. +- New Client Connect Wait directive in Storage daemon so that + users can configure how long SD waits for FD connection. +- Bacula will no longer permit pruning of the currently running + job (note, if other jobs are running, they may be pruned). +- Sockets are no longer restored. +- dbcheck works in 300K chunks so will typically run faster. +- Include/Exclude lists can now be efficiently handled for quite + large sizes -- tens of thousands of entries. +- Several memory leaks in migration and database usage were fixed. +- New console keyword restoreclient, which specifies the client to + which the restore will be sent. The client keyword specifies + the backup client. The restoreclient keyword is optional if it is + not specified, the backup client will also be the restore client. +- The disk file size is now checked to ensure that it agrees with the + catalog value before Bacula will append to the disk (same as tape + and DVD).
