Important !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! - If you are compiling for a 64 bit machine, you need to ensure - that the code is compiled with the -O0 (- oh zero) option otherwise - the SD will crash on most all operations -- apparently due to - a compiler bug in gcc's 64 bit code generation. -!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! +This Director and Storage daemon must be upgraded at the same time, +but they should be compatible with all 2.0.x File daemons, unless you +use some of the new features that affect the FD. 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 -New features: -- For autochanger get Scratch tape if in autochanger if - no appendable Volumes are available. -- New virtual disk autochanger. See scripts/disk-changer for - documentation. -- New optional Device resource directive in SD. 'Device Type =', - which may have types: File, DVD, Tape, or FIFO. This can - be useful for writing DVDs on FreeBSD where Bacula cannot - correctly detect the DVD. -- Faster restore tree building and uses less memory. -- The command line keyword job (or jobname) now refers to the - name of the job specified in the Job resource; jobid refers - as before to the non-unique numeric jobid; and ujobid refers - to the unique job identification that Bacula creates for each - job. -- The job report for Backups has a few more user friendly ways - of displaying the information. -- The wait command can now be made to wait for jobids. -- New command line keywords are permitted in update volume. They - are Inchanger=yes/no, slot=nn. -- Add two new console commands: enable job= and - disable job=. When a job is disabled, it will not - be started by the scheduler. If you disable a job and restart - Bacula or reload the .conf file, the job will be re-enabled. -- Add a new Job resource directive "enable = yes|no". - -Major bug fixes: -- Fix race condition in multiple-drive autochangers where - both drives want the same Volume. -- Do not allow opening default catalog for restricted console - if it is not in ACL. -- Writable FIFOs now work for restore. -- ACLs are now checked in all dot commands. -- Multiple drive autochangers and multiple different autochangers - should now work correctly (no race conditions for Volume names, - update slots use correct StorageId). -- Fix bug where drive was always reserved if a restore job failed - while in the reservation process. - +================== 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. +============================================================== -Minor bug fixes: -- See below: +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. -Release 1.38.6 beta6 16Mar06 -- Fix bug #537 to allow arbitrary time to mount a volume for - restore, if polling is turned on. -- Disallow multiple storage specifications for a job. Should fix Arno's - problem. -- Add back a missing store of poolid in jr.poolid. -- If dir_user or dir-group is specified in ./configure apply it to - the working-dir. Fixes bug #533. -- If rescheduling a job cancel the previous incarnation with the SD. - Fixes bugs #566 and 557. -- Fix bug #567 do_message() definition type conflict. +Bugs fixed: + 1095, 1086, 1091, 1070, 1041, 1083, 1078, 1066, 1068, 1038 + 1062, 1065, 1046, 1047, 1031 -Release 1.38.6 beta5 14Mar06 -- Add more jcr methods and make mutex and use_count private. -- Create lock/unlock methods for jcr. -- Fix PostgreSQL bug doing sql_data_seeek() by explicitly reading - records to get to seek position. -- Integrate patch from bug #561 to correct conio.c signal definitions. -- Fix Rescheduling failed Jobs. Ensure that SD message thread - terminates correctly by doing pthread_kill(). Do not destroy - SD cond wait variable between executions of the job. Use local - mutex for cond variable to avoid blocking jcr chain. Fix poor - use of jcr use count in jobq.c for restarted jobs. -- Fix obsolete usage of foreach_dlist() to use foreach_jcr() in - lib/jcr.c -- prevents locking the jcr chaing. -- Apply patch from bug #564, which corrects listing volumes with - multiple autochangers. Apply same fix to next volume list. -- Fix bug #562 where restore bootstrap file is not unique. -- Use new routine lock_reservations() to lock the reservations - system, and call it while looking for a volume in askdir.c. - This could possibly fix bug #543. -- Stop SD command loop if job is canceled. +New features: +- You can now build bat without the QWT libraries. Use + --without-qwt as a ./configure option. -Release 1.38.6 beta3 4Mar06 -04Mar06 -- The po files should now be current. -- Fix new sql_use_result() code to properly release the - buffers in all cases. -- Convert to using new Python class definitons with (object). -- Use the keyword ujobid to mean the unique job id; job or jobname - to mean the Job name given on the Name directive, and jobid to - be the numeric (non-unique) job id. -- Allow listing by any of the above. -- Add the user friendly job report code for reporting job elapsed time - and rates with suffexes. -- Add Priority and JobLevel as Python settable items. -- Use TEMPORARY table creation where the table is created by - Bacula. -- Add new code submitted by Eric for waiting on specific jobid. -- Add ACL checking for the dot commands. -- Fix restore of writable FIFOs. -- Fix a bug in bpipe where the string was freed too early. +Release Version 2.4.0 +- Update version to 2.4.0 to reflect the magnitude of the SD changes. +- Make sure to clear JS_WaitMedia when operator mounts a Volume. + This fixes bug #1095. +- Add create_postgresql_database.sql to Win32 installer.

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.

Values are file, tape, - dvd, and fifo. -- Preserve certain modes (ST_LABEL|ST_APPEND|ST_READ) across - a re-open to change read/write permission on a device. -- Correct a misplaced double quote in certain autochanger - scripts. -- Make make_catalog_backup.in a bit more portable. -- Implement Karl Hakimian's sql_use_result(), which speeds - up restore tree building and reduces the memory load. -- Correct a number of minor bugs in getting a Volume from - the Scratch Pool. -- Implement additional command line options for update Volume. -- Don't require user to enter a Volume name when updating - all Volumes in a pool. +Version 2.2.8 is a bug fix to version 2.2.7: +- It fixes bugs: 1036, 1033(doc), 1028, 1040, 1045(doc), 1030, + 1042(partially), and possibly bugs 1018 and 1032. + Bugs 1018 and 1032 involve problems with multiple-drive autochangers, + and are difficult to reproduce. + See the ChangeLog for more details. -Release 1.38.5 released 19Jan06: -- Apply label barcodes fix supplied by Rudolf Cejka. -- Modify standard rpm installation to set SD group to disk - so that SD will by default have access to tape drives. -- Allow users to specify user/group and start options - for each daemon in /etc/sysconf/bacula file. +Version 2.2.7 has several new features and several important bug fixes + since version 2.2.6: +- It fixes bugs: 1009, 1022, 1024, 1019, 1012, 1021, 1020 + 1007, 1008. 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 -Changes to 1.38.4 released 17Jan06: -- The main changes are to the Director and the Storage daemon, - thus there is no need to update your File daemons. Just the - same, I do recommend running with the release 1.38.3 Win32 - FD or later. -- Add two new queries to query.sql provided by Arno. One - list volumes known to the Storage device, and the other - lists volumes possibly needing replacement (error, ...). -- Add periodic (every 24 hours) garbage collection of memory - pool by releasing free buffers. -- Correct bug counting sized (for display only) in smartall.c -- Print FD mempool stats if debug > 0 rather than 5. -- Correct bug in alist.c that re-allocated the list if the - number of items goes to zero. -- Move the reservation system thread locking to the top level - so that one job at a time tries all possible drives before - waiting. -- Implement a reservation 'fail' message queue that is built - and destroyed on each pass through the reservation system. - These messages are displayed in a 'Jobs waiting to reserve - a drive' list during a 'status storage='. Note, multiple - messages will generally print for each JobId because they - represent the different problems with either the same drive - or different drives. If this output proves too confusing - of voluminous, I will display it only when debug level 1 - or greater is enabled in the SD. -- Add enable/disable job=. This command prevents - the specified job from being scheduled. Even when disabled, - the job can be manually started from the console. -- During 'update slots' clear all InChanger flags where the - StorageId is zero (old Media records). -- Fix autochanger code to strip leading spaces from returned - slots number. Remove bc from chio-changer. -- Back port a bit of 1.39 crypto code to reduce diffs. -- Fix first call to autochanger that missed close()ing the - drive. Put close() just before each run_program(). Fixes - Arno's changer bug. -- Add PoolId to Job record when updating it at job start time. -- Pull in more code from 1.39 so that there are fewer file - differences (the new ua_dotcmds.c, base64.h, crypto.h - hmac.c jcr.c (dird and lib) lib.h md5.h parse_conf.c - util.c. Aside from ua_dotcmds.c these are mostly crypto - upgrades. -- Implement new method of walking the jcr chain. The - incr/dec of the use_count is done within the walking - routines. This should prevent a jcr from being freed - from under the walk routines. +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. -Changes to 1.38.3 released 05Jan06: -- This is mainly a bug release fix. In addition, the multiple drive - reservation algorithm has been rewritten. -- In addition, the method of handling waiting for tapes to be - mounted and the mount messages has been modified. - (the above two items are a potential source of problems). -- Simplify code in askdir.c that waits for creating an appendable - volume so that it can handle multiple returns from the wait code. -- Modify the wait code to permit multiple returns. -- Return a zero when 'autochanger drives' is called and - it is not an autochanger. -- Make rewind_dev() a method taking a DCR as an argument. - This permits closing and reopening the drive if the - rewind fails as happens if the drive was loaded while the - file descriptor was open. This refreshes the file descriptor. -- Remove the ST_OPENED flag and always rely on fd < 0 for knowing - if the device is open or not. This should eliminate - Arnos problem. -- Return error if reserve cannot find at least one suitable device. -- Make wait_for_sysop() return correct state information. -- Fix Win32 state file problem. write was not using compat - code. This should fix bug #500. -- Modify gui on command to set only GUI mode and not batch. -- Modify .messages command to always print messages regardless - of the mode. -- If GUI mode is on, suppress automatic printing of - You have messages. -- Modify restore command in wx-console to set gui on and to use - only .messages instead of messages. Hopefully this fixes bug - #514. -- Implement load balancing code with multiple drive autochangers. -- Rewrite reservation algorithm again. Rename variables to be - more logical, add HEARTBEAT with Director, allow cancel of - jobs stuck in reservation, add last resourt any_drive. -- Fix seg fault if user labels a drive directly bug #513 -- Remove quotes around Version as it breaks things. -- Merge in Aleksandar Milivojevic's mods to the spec file. -- Apply sparse code fix for raw drives and fifos. Bug 506 -- Thorsten fixed Unicode cd problem with wx-console bug 505. -- Correct reservation system to do a last ditch try - for any mounted volume, then anyone anywhere. -- Updates to ssh-tunnel from Joshua Kugler. -- Added a report.pl program from Jonas Bjorklund. -- Simplify the O_NONBLOCK open() code for tape drives, - and always open nonblocking. -- Do not wait for open() if EIO returned (shouldn't happen). -- Eliminate 3 argument to tape open(). -- Correct the slot # edited in the 3995 Bad autochanger unload - message. -- With -S on bscan (show progress) do not divide by zero. -- Make cancel pthread_cond_signal() pthread_cond_broadcast(). -- When dcr is freed, also broadcast dev->wait_next_vol signal. -- Remove unused code in wait_for_device. -- Make wait_for_device() always return after 60 seconds of wait. -- Use localhost if no network configured -- Eliminated duplicate MaxVolBytes in cat update -- bug 509. -- Update specs to include mysql4 define. -- Return rec->FileIndex in dcr->VolLastIndex for normal - and partial records in read_record(). This allows bscan - to get FileIndex at EOT correct. -- Fix butil.c to correctly set dcr -- fixes seg fault in bls. -- Apply patch supplied by user (slightly modified) to fix - correct detection of holes in block devices and FIFOs. - Bug # 506. -- Apply patch supplied by user (slightly modified) - to fix SD hang with multiple pools and bad client - IP. Fixes bug # 508. -- Add nagios plugin to the examples directory. Submitted by - Christian Masopust. -- Remove warning message about multiple saves of hardlinked files - from find_one.c as it can generate too many warning messages. -- Reset timeout values before select() per patch from - Frank Sweetser for problems with non-blocking sockets. -- Unlink the state file if either reading or writing it gets - errors. Hopefully this will fix Win32 exit problems. -- Get next volume from Scratch pool before creating a volume. -- Set new Pool defaults in Vol when moved from Scratch Pool. -- Remove argument from create_bacula_database for SQLite as it - caused an error. -- Fix reservation so that mutexes are properly applied. -- Rework reservation algorithm so that two drives can be used - at the same time. -- Apply days keyword patch from Alexander.Bergolth at wu-wien.ac.at - If this patch is applied, the number of days can be specified with - 'list nextvol days=xx' - or - 'status dir days=xx' - My use case is to be able to preview the next scheduled job (and the - next tape to be used) on fridays if there are no scheduled jobs during - the weekend. -- Fix font code in gnome2 console user patch. Fixes bug #501. -- Fix malformatted bnet error message that caused seg fault - fixes bug 502 -- Applied user patch to improve README.vc8 in src/win32. -- Ensure that StorageId is stored in Media record when ever possible. -- Remove old code from winservice.cpp -- Break on error in scan. -- Fix typo in signal.c -- Separate read/write DCR in SD. Add jcr->read_dcr. -- Cleanup how find_device() works. -- Remove abs() in bfile.c so that it compiles on Solaris.

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. -Changes to 1.38.2: -- Fix crash in tray-monitor when daemon disconnects. Bug #479. -- Fix bnet-server bug found on OpenBSD. Bug #486 -- Fix cancel failure bug. Bug #481 -- Fix failure when Pool name has spaces. Bug #487 -- Fix SD crash in autochanger code. Mutex failure.

Fixes bug #456. -- AMD64 users see compiler bug warning below!!!!!!!!! +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 + +- 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. -Major Changes in 1.38: -- Fixed out of order Volumes in restore. -- Improved algorithm for reserving drives in multiple drive - autochangers. Autochange users MUST use the new Autochanger - resource in the Storage daemon. -- There is a new database format that is not compatible - with previous databases. You must upgrade if converting - from 1.36.x. No changes from version 1.37.30. -- The Director, Storage daemon, and File daemons are - Deamons are not compatible with prior versions. - All FDs must be upgraded at the same time. -- Support for ANSI/IBM labels. -- Faster database inserts due to combining the MD5/SHA1 into - the attributes record, eliminating one INSERT/file backed up. -- Python Event support has been added. See below for - configuration and details. The implementation is somewhat minimal, - so the functionality is not complete. The Python interface - has not been extensively tested, so please consider it BETA. -- DVD writing support, using parts, and some new directives in - the Device resource of the Storage configuration file thanks - to Nicolas Boichat. Please note that this code is still - BETA and should be carefully tested before using in - production. -- Seven new options keywords in a FileSet resource: - ignorecase, fstype, hfsplussupport, wilddir, wildfile, regexdir, - and regexfile thanks to Pruben Guldberg). See below for details. -- Restore of all files for a Job or set of jobs even if the file - records have been removed from the catalog. -- Restore of a directory (non-recursive, i.e. only one level). -- Support for TLS (ssl) between all the daemon connections thanks - to Landon Fuller. -- Any Volume in the Pool named Scratch may be reassigned to any - other Pool when a new Volume is needed. -- You may clone a Job and thus write (almost) the same data - to multiple Volumes simultaneously (see below). Actually, - any Job may start any other Job with this mechanism, so it - also be used to group jobs. -- Unicode filename support for Win32 (thanks to Thorsten Engel) -- Volume Shadow Copy support for Win32 thus the capability to - backup exclusively opened files (thanks to Thorsten Engel). - A VSS enabled Win32 FD is available. You must explicitly - turn on VSS with 'Enable VSS = yes' in your FileSet resource. -- New manual format with an index (thanks to Karl Cunningham). -- New Web site format (thanks to Michael Scherer). -- SQLite3 support. -- Web-bacula, previously a separate project by Juan Luis Frances, - is now included in the Bacula GUI release. This is a management - level tool for reporting the state of Bacula jobs. -- The code is now Internationalized so that it can be localized - in native languages. Thanks to Nicolas Boichat. +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 -New Directives: -- New Job directive 'Prefer Mounted Volumes = yes|no' causes the - SD to select either an Autochanger or a drive with a valid - Volume already mounted in preference. If none is available, - it will select the first available drive. -- New Run directive in Job resource of DIR. It permits - cloning of jobs. To clone a copy of the current job, use - Run = 'job-name level=%l since=\'%s\'' - Note, job-name is normally the same name as the job that - is running but there is no restriction on what you put. If you - want to start the job by hand and use job overrides such as - storage=xxx, realize that the job will be started with the - default storage values not the overrides. The level=%l guarantees - that the chosen level of the job is the same, and the since=... - ensures that the job uses *exactly* the same time/date for incremental - and differential jobs. The since=... is ignored when level=Full. - A cloned job will not start additional clones, so it is not possible - to recurse. -- New Options keywords in a FileSet directive (backported to 1.36.3): - - WildDir xxx - Will do a wild card match against directories (files will not - be matched). - - WildFile xxx - Will do a wild card match against files (directories will not - be matched). - - RegexDir xxx - Will do a regular expression match against directories (files - will not be matched). - - RegexFile xxx - Will do a regular expression match against files( directories - will not be matched). - - IgnoreCase = yes | no - Will ignore case in wild card and regular expression matches. - This is handy for Windows where filename case is not significant. - - FsType = string - where string is a filesystem type: ext2, jfs, ntfs, proc, - reiserfs, xfs, usbdevfs, sysfs, smbfs, iso9660. For ext3 - systems, use ext2. You may have multiple fstype directives - and thus permit multiple filesystem types. If the type - specified on the fstype directive does not match the - filesystem for a particular directive, that directory will - not be backed up. This directive can be used to prevent - backing up non-local filesystems. - - HFS Plus Support = yes | no - If set, Mac OS X resource forks will be saved and restored. -- Label Type = ANSI | IBM | Bacula - Implemented in Director Pool resource and in SD Device resource. - If it is specified in the SD Device resource, it will take - precedence over the value passed from the Director to the SD. -- Check Labels = yes | no - Implemented in the SD Device resource. If you intend to read - ANSI or IBM labels, this *must* be set. Even if the volume - is not ANSI labeled, you can set this to yes, and Bacula will - check the label type. -- Scripts Directory = name. Defines the directory from - which Bacula scripts will be called for events. In fact, Bacula - appends this name to the standard Python list of search directories, - so the script could also be in any of the Python system directories. -- In FileSet, you can exclude backing up of hardlinks (if you have - a lot, it can be very expensive), by using: - HardLinks = no - in the Options section. Patch supplied by David R Bosso. Thanks. -- MaximumPartSize = bytes (SD, Device resource) - Defines the maximum part size. -- Requires Mount = Yes/No (SD, Device resource) - Defines if the device require to be mounted to be read, and if it - must be written in a special way. If it set, the following directives - must be defined in the same Device resource: - + Mount Point = directory - Directory where the device must be mounted. - + Mount Command = name-string - Command that must be executed to mount the device. Before the command - is executed, %a is replaced with the Archive Device, and %m with the - Mount Point. - + Unmount Command = name-string - Command that must be executed to unmount the device. Before the - command is executed, %a is replaced with the Archive Device, and - %m with the Mount Point. - + Write Part Command = name-string - Command that must be executed to write a part to the device. Before - the command is executed, %a is replaced with the Archive Device, %m - with the Mount Point, %n with the current part number (0-based), - and %v with the current part filename. - + Free Space Command = name-string - Command that must be executed to check how much free space is left - on the device. Before the command is executed, %a is replaced with - the Archive Device, %m with the Mount Point, %n with the current part - number (0-based), and %v with the current part filename. -- Write Part After Job = Yes/No (DIR, Job Resource, and Schedule Resource) - If this directive is set to yes (default no), a new part file will be - created after the job is finished. -- A pile of new Directives to support TLS. Please see the TLS chapter - of the manual. +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. -New Commands: -- 'python restart' restarts the Python interpreter. Rather brutal, make - sure no Python scripts are running. This permits you to change - a Python script and get Bacula to use the new script. +Notes on 2.2.0 release follow: -New configure options: -- --with-libintl-prefix for defining alternate locations for - the NLS internationalization libraries. Not normally required. -- --datadir for defining where the language files will be installed - required only if you do not want the default /usr/share. +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. -Items to note!!! -- The Storage daemon now keeps track of what tapes it is using - (was not the case in 1.36.x). This means that you must be much - more careful when removing tapes and putting up a new one. In - general, you should always do a 'unmount' prior to removing a - tape, and a 'mount' after putting a new one into the drive. -- If you use an Autochanger, you MUST update your SD conf file - to use the new Autochanger resource. Otherwise, certain commands - such as 'update slots' may not work. -- You must add --with-python=[DIR] to the configure command line - if you want Python support. Python 2.2, 2.3 and 2.4 should be - automatically detected if in the standard place. -- When linking with --with-python, there are a few warnings that - can be ignored. -- You must either create a new catalog database or upgrade your - old database. After installation, run from your scripts - directory: +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. - ./upgrade_bacula_tables +New ./configure options: +- --enable-bwx-console +- --enable-bat +- --with-qwt= +- --with-db-name= +- --with-db-user= +- --enable-batch-insert - You can also find this script in the /src/cats - directory. -- The Director, Storage daemon, and File daemons are - Deamons are not compatible with prior versions. - All FDs must be upgraded at the same time. -- You must add --with-openssl to the configure command line if - you want TLS communications encryption support. -- Disk seeking during restores does not yet work correctly in - all cases, so it is turned off. -- Note, with gcc (GCC) 4.0.1 20050727 (Red Hat 4.0.1-5) on an - AMD64 CPU running 64 bit CentOS4, there is a compiler bug that - generates bad code that causes Bacula to segment fault. - Typically you will see this in the Storage daemon first. The - solution is to compile Bacula ensuring that no optimization is - turned on (normally it is -O2). - This same compiler bug has been reported and confirmed with - gcc (GCC) 4.0.2 20050901 (prerelease) (SUSE Linux) running on - an AMD64 CPU. This for the moment, I would recommend that all - users of GCC 4.0.1 or greater turn off all optimization when - compiling. +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: +- 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 Items Fixed: -- Security fixes for temp files created in mtx-changer, during - ./configure, and during making of Rescue disk. -- A new script, dvd-handler, in the scripts directory, - which is designed to be used as parameters to Write Part Command and - Free Space Command. They need the dvd+rw-tools to be installed - (http://fy.chalmers.se/~appro/linux/DVD+RW/) AND, the growisofs - program must be patched using the - /patches/dvd+rw-tools-5.21.4.10.8.bacula.patch - You must have Python installed to run the scripts. -- Part files support: File volumes can now be split into multiple - files, called 'parts'. -- For the details of the Python scripting support, please see the new - Python Scripting chapter in the manual. -- The default user/group for the Director and Storage daemon installed - by rpms is bacula/bacula, thus you may need to add additional permissions - to your database, or modify the permissions of the tape drive. If - all else fails, change to using user=root. However, it is more secure - to use user=bacula. +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).
