You must manually update your database before + running Bacula 1.39.x or higher. If you are using Bacula supplied + RPMs this is not necessary as the RPM does it automatically. + Please backup your previous version of the database before + running the update. The update script will be automatically + installed in your scripts directory, or can also be found in + /src/cats. It is called: -New Directives: -- Added Ignore FileSet Changes = yes + ./update_bacula_tables -Items to note!!! -- All daemons should be compatible with 1.34 with the exception - of the new FileSet features such as regular expressions. -- Regular expressions are not implemented in the Win32 FD. + It is necessary to run it only once the first time you move to + a 2.0.0. Upgrading the Bacula version thereafter does not + require updating the database again. Depending on the size of + your database the script make take a bit of time, to run, but + in general, it should be very fast. -Other Items: -- Fix logic error in resolution of names on IPv4 systems. -- Inhibit printing of FileSet for a restore as it is misleading. -- Cleaned up a number of minor scripting problems with the CDROM - creation. -- Fixed a race condition causing a Director crash on termination, - if a large number of SIGHUPs were sent during a multiple concurrent - set of backups. -- Completed integration of Rescue CD scripts with Bacula source. -- Added Ignore FileSet Changes = yes -- Added more error checking to the spooling code. -- Applied a patch from Peter Eriksson that removes a dynamic stack - allocation (replaced by alloca) and fixes some const problems. -- Fixed a free() of a static variable in the new IP code bnet.c -- Got the new Bacula Rescue CDROM booting. -- Replaced a dynamic template by a simple store when using the - native C compiler. -- Reworked some of the block.c error handling. -- Changed a Dmsgx(000, to Dmsgx(100 in dev.c that was dumping - debug output on a user. -- Integrated patch from 1.34.6 block.c to 1.35 -- Fix conio.c problem on Solaris. -- Add debug code to lock_jcr_chain(). -- Lock jcr chain around less code. -- Implement call by reference for Mmsg() and pm_strxxx() to - simplify calls. +==== IMPORTANT new Win32 install procedure ===== + For Win32 migrations from versions prior to 1.39.0 nothing special + needs to be done to upgrade. Everything should be taken care of + automatically. The only thing not done is to delete the old C:\bacula + directory mostly out of paranoia. +==== IMPORTANT miscellaneous ==== +- The Gnome console program (gconsole) no longer functions as it + should.More importantly, in restore mode, the restore tree is + no longer shown in the left pane. I suspect this is due to + incompatible changes in the GTK+ API, and hence have given up + on gnome and gtk+, as this has already happened several times + previously. At some point there will be a new GUI console. +- The bacula-dir.conf directive Accept Any Volume has been + removed because it was never implemented. You must delete all + occurrence of this directive for the Director to run. The Storage + daemon will automatically accept any valid Volume that you mount. +- The --mandir ./configure option now points to the top level man + directory. The man files will be installed under mandir/man8 and + mandir/man1 as appropriate. +- You *should* be able to use 1.38.x FDs with version 2.0.0 Director + and SD providing you do not use any of the new features (runscript, + data encryption). It seems to work here, but we do not guarantee it. +- Your Director and SD must be simultaneously upgraded. +- The restore command no longer uses the MediaType as the primary method + of finding a suitable Storage device. Normally it will select the last + device used to write a Volume. If no storage device is defined, it + will use the old algorithm which selects the first Storage resource + with the correct MediaType. +- The MD5/SHA1 hash codes kept in the database are now kept in a binary + format compatible with the rest of the world. If you are running verify + jobs, you *must* do an InitCatalog or all files will show an MD5 + difference. Also, authentication uses the new algorithm by + default, but *should* accept connections from older components (FD) using + the old non-compatible algorithm. This has been tested, but more + more testing is still needed. +- A stock SuSE 10.1 kernel may crash when Bacula runs and accesses + the tape drive. Workaround, load the SuSE 10.1 version 2.6.16.21-0.25 + kernel or later. The SuSE 10.2 Alpha 5 or later kernel also works. + This problem may also be present in certain Fedora FC5 kernels. +- If you have been using the data encryption feature of 1.39.x, please + be aware that certain combinations of encryption and other options + with version 1.39.0 through 1.39.26 created Volume data that cannot + be restored. We strongly recommend that anyone using encryption + carefully review his/her backups and at a minium do a Full backup + with 1.39.28 of all encrypted data. Robert Nelson has identified + and fixed it as follows: + As of 1.39.27: + No filters = Works fine + Sparse = Works fine + Compression = Works fine + Encryption = Works fine + Sparse + Compression = Works fine -Release 1.35.1 16 August 2004: -- Added Tape Alert feature (see Alert Command). -- New IPv6 code (untested) -- New way of specifying Addresses and Ports -- permits having - server listen on multiple ports. -- Regular expressions in Options directive. -- Reader/writer programs in Options (not yet fully implemented, - please do not use). -- Fixed specification of bind address on Win32 (thanks to - Martin Simmons). -- Update all Volumes from Pool record. -- Update License to terminate rights of anyone suing a GPL licensor. -- Improved error messages for Win32 and when running external - programs (e.g. RunBeforeJob). -- Implement reload of conf file in Directory on SIGHUP. -- Building restore tree is much faster on large filesets - due to binary insert. -- Alert Command in Device resource of Storage Daemon. -- New IP address and port directives. -- reader = xxx, writer = yyy in Options within FileSet of - Director's conf file. -- regex = xxx in Options within FileSet of Director's - conf file. -- New command options: update AllFromPool updates all - Volumes with Pool defaults. -- .backups client=xxx (for GUI programs). -- A duration specification may have any number of integer/modificator - specifications. E.g.: - 1 week 2 days 3 hours 10 mins - 1 month 2 days 30 sec -- Print error message if Alert Command fails in bpipe_open(). -- Doc Alert command. -- Eliminate unnecessary class in findlib/attribs.c -- Add necessary empty files to new tray-monitor directory. -- Implement Class with template in findlib/attribs.c to do casting - of uint64_t into stat packet types to avoid compiler warnings. - Thanks to Meno for this idea. -- Make some modifications to satisfy VC++. -- Apply Martin Simmons' second patch to compat.cpp to fix the line - I previously missed. -- Apply Meno's fix to bnet that corrects use of ipaddr after free_addresses, - back out my kludges, and it works. -- Modified configure.in to by default add -Wall. -- Found some problems with printing IP addresses -- will notify Meno. -- Added printing Pool to Job report. -- Fixed several places where dlists were not being released - (term_job_server, ...) -- Started implementing New() for dlists. Spent a lot of time, - but could not get it to work. -- Fixed a mutex deadlock between the job queue scheduler and the - watchdog. -- Made add_address() static. -- Added bsnprintf to address_conf.c -- Apply Marin Simmons patch to inet_aton() in compat. -- Build on Win32 -- required a few changes because of new IP code. -- Implement program reader code in Dir and FD -- not tested, and - a few corrections for writer code are needed in FD. -- Rework SQL for pruning.

Integrated RAID changes. -- Print a message when query.sql moved to query.sql.old during install. -- Move setting of FreeBSD chflags() to after utime() to avoid error - messages is immutable bit is set. -- Turn off heartbeat in FD when -s is given so that we can - debug without a flood of signals. -- Close and reopen the device during an append test in - btape. This better tests appending as if Bacula stops/restarts. -- Remove old attach/detach_jcr_to_device() code -- Add new attached_dcrs code. -- Remove unnecessary subroutine for bsnprintf. -- Replace sprintf() by home-grown code in edit_uint64 ... -- Begin implementation of dev->attached_dcrs. -- Remove scripts/fd.in from configure.in -- Add printing of JobId when a Job is started from the console. -- Remove fd/fd.in from scripts directory. -- Fix a number of bugs in dbcheck concerning the -c option - (i.e. with a config file). -- Made RH start scripts use -u and -g options. -- Many more DCR changes. -- Add job message indicating that the job has been rescheduled - and when. -- Fix job end time so that it is always updated. Previously it - was not updated when a job was rescheduled. -- Correct SQL for restoring job by path/name. It could sometimes - pickup the wrong JobId -- submitted by a user. -- Add a number of "%s" in editing database errors -- security issue. -- Ensure that the NumVols is incremented and decremented in the - pool record when Volumes are created or deleted. -- Cleanup error handling when labeling a tape. If vol was read-only, - the device would still be marked as having found a label. -- Put ftCreationTime into st_ctime of stat packet. Hopefully - this will fix the problem of noticing files have been moved - into the save path after a Full save. -- Fix bug in "status dir" where not all entries are listed. -- Cleanup some improper result printing in configure. -- Optimize a couple of insertions in binary_insert of dlists. + Sparse + Encryption = Restore broken + Sparse + Compression + Encryption = Restore broken + Compression + Encryption = Restore broken -Release 1.35.0 08 July 2004: -- Apply Christopher Hull's const patch for PostgreSQL -- Add code to block.c to detect if block header is destroyed. -- Add debug code for memset checking for zeroing 1900-3000 bytes - which is what happened to the block headers. -- If block header is destroyed, read the next block. Probably - should return with new status similar to the SHORT block - return. -- Add more debug info to bls for bad blocks. -- More implementation of DCRs. -- Eliminate argument passing in SD by using dcr. -- More int->bool conversions. -- Add file:block to a number of read/write error messages. -- More int -> bool conversions. -- Modify the SD piece by piece to use DCRs everywhere. -- Cleanup some printout for query command. -- Fix typo in cats/mysql.c -- Work on cleaning up tape driver a bit (use bools, better calling - sequences). -- Attempt to fix multi-Volume disk backup.

This allows detecting jobs - that terminated in a warning. -- Implement setting the Win32 icon to yellow instead of red - when the job terminated OK but with warnings. -- Fix the Win32 makefile and VC project file. The links were - not including the Win32 dlls. -- Delete some old Win32 code that was turned off. -- Eliminate a few more Win32 compiler warnings. -- Reduce the output produced by NIS (Win32 install builder). -- Simplify some of the #ifdefing in compat.h -- Rewrite spooling error handling when I/O error occurs. It is - a bit tricky, requiring to truncate the file so that a despooling - will work correctly. Needs to be tested. -- Make better subroutines for setting up for a new job. -- Start putting all DB ids on #defines (going to 64 bits). -- Fix gnome-console Makefile.in to work again. -- All "level=Incremental/Decremental" to the estimate command. This - required some re-arrangement of subroutines at a fairly low level. -- Apply Piotr Jaworski's patch (patch-r-status.diff) to update the - catalog status when a backup job starts running. -- Add (char*) cast to readline call in console.c for old readlines. -- Copy Makefile.in from gnome2-console to gnome-console (to eliminate - need for cats library). -- Modify spooling code to handle write error (e.g. spooling disk full) - more gracefully. Previously despooling would fail. -- Reduce casting in smartall.c a bit and add counters for - bytes, max_bytes, buffers and max_buffers. -- Fixed reload algorithm to stack both job end callback and the - table id. -- Fixed the orphaned buffer after reload (job_end_push had to be - destroyed. -- Destroy cond var (jcr->term_wait) only if initialized. -- Sort the Scheduled Jobs list by start-time, priority. -- Implement resources on a pointer. -- Fix Gnome console crash on up/down arrow with no history. -- Finish first cut of SIGHUP code.

Caused fd leaks. -- Initialize job_start_wait cond variable after every new_jcr() otherwise - NetBSD gets error in library when trying to delete it without being inited. -- Fix typo (9 instead of 0) return status in write_new_volume_label. -- Fix mount.c to call routine that correctly marks a volume in error. -- Move code to rewrite volume label to subroutine -- a bit cleaner. -- Finish implementation and testing of new restore tree code. -- Implement feedback while tree is loading. -- Eliminate printing INFO message in UpdateDB (cats) -- it generates - "false" error messages. -- Eliminate some GTK error messages when running the Gnome2 console. -- Begin restructuring tree.c for inclusion of the binary_insert() - routine. -- Apply Peter Eriksson's lib file order changes in linking for IRIX. -- Abort configure if Internal is selected as the database. -- Add testimonials to the Web page -- Add the bugs list to the Web page "lists". -- Clarify the English in SuSE and Slackware when SD not running. -- Applied another extern "C" patch from Peter Eriksson. -- Fixed a bunch of VC warning messages. -- Applied the patches sent by Andreas Jellinghaus: build Gnome and - wx-console in client-only build if configured; add ./configure option - to permit setting of sbin modes -- default is 0745 as before; remove - cats library from Gnome console build; remove old version from Gnome - About box. Thanks Andreas. -- Applied Peter Eriksson's const changes to the source code. Thanks Peter. -- Implemented a binary_insert() method for dlists -- intended to be used - in the restore tree routines. -- Turned on my bsscanf() code, which replaces sscanf() by my routines, which - are a subset of sscanf() used by Bacula, but which have known 32/64 bit - behavior rather than vendor dependent !@#$%*. + As of 1.39.28: + Most combinations work, but some encrypted files are + not properly restored. + + As of 1.39.30: + All combinations work fine except Sparse+Encryption. + + Bottom line, if you are using data encryption, please test restoring + data to be sure it all works correctly. +- The current Volume format written by 1.39.22 is different from + the format written by previous versions. The two formats + are not compatible. Thus any DVDs written prior to 1.39.22 will + be unreadable by version 1.39.22. +- If you previously run a Bacula version prior to 1.39.30, the JobMedia + data may not be correct for disk Volumes. This can cause incorrect + seeking in versions after 1.39.30. If you experience what appears to + be data I/O or integrity errors during restores, please add the + following directive to your disk DEVICE resource in the Storage + daemon conf file: + + Block Positioning = no + + This will turn off all seek requests during restores and avoid + this problem. +- VSS for Windows clients is now enabled by default. +- Do not unload autochanger when doing "update slots" +- Implement mount command for autochanger, see manual. + +New Features in 2.0.0: +- Turn on disk seek code for restores. +- There is a partial but reasonable translation of the Bacula + messages for French. To install it, first configure and build + Bacula, then as root run: + + cd /po + make install + + If you have your locale set properly you will get the translated + messages. +- Bacula now support Migration jobs that are documented in a new + Migration chapter in the manual + http://www.bacula.org/dev-manual/Migration.html +- Data encryption is now implemented and is documented in + a new chapter of the manual at: + http://www.bacula.org/dev-manual/Bacula_Data_Encryption.html +- Additional support for removable devices. See the + Requires Mount, Mount Point, Mount Command, and Unmount + Commands in the Storage daemon configuration chapter: + http://www.bacula.org/dev-manual/Storage_Daemon_Configuratio.html + Also see the Edit Codes for Mount and Unmount Directives in the + same chapter. +- Switch the Win32 build from using Microsoft C++ to using mingw32 + cross-compiling. The initial work was done by Howard Thomson, + then tweaked by me. Robert Nelson then totally reworked the + cross-compiling code so that it not only cross-compiles, but + also compiles on Visual Studio, and at the same time, he added + all the current Unix features to the FD, such as selection on + drives, encryption support, building *all* the tools, ... +- The Director and Storage daemon have now been ported to Win32. + This code is working but should still be tested carefully + before putting into production. +- Bacula restore and bextract can now extract non-portable Win32 data to + any client (including Unix/Linux clients). Of course, in doing so, + the Microsoft specific permissions and ACLs will be lost. Thanks + to Thorsten Engel for this code. +- The 260 character limitation for Win32 paths name lengths is now + eliminated thanks to Thorsten Engel. However, if you are using + Volume Shadow Copy, please be careful to specify all the paths + in the bacula-fd.conf file using a full path notation including + the drive letter. +- Eric Bollengier wrote new RunScript directives that includes + the old RunBefore/AfterJob and ClientRunBefore/AfterJob features + plus a *lot* more, allowing you to control just about every aspect + of running scripts. See the manual for detailed documentation. + http://www.bacula.org/dev-manual/Configuring_Director.html#5227 +- SunOS ACLs should now work thanks to a patch from David Duchscher. +- 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" + This can be used to preview the next scheduled job (and the + next tape to be used) on Fridays if there are no scheduled jobs during + the weekend. +- From Eric Bollengier. One can now using the bconsole wait command do: + wait (wait for all jobs to stop) + wait jobid=nn + wait jobuid=unique id + wait job=job-name +- Volumes can now be set to Enable, Disable, or Archive. If they + are not enabled, Volumes will not be mounted. + Implement update volume enable=(on|off|true|false|archived|0|1|2) +- Add Catalog message destination in Messages resource that puts the + job report in the Log database table. +- Writing/reading DVD Volumes is much more stable -- to the point + of being useful. Thanks to Richard Mortimer. +- 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. +- The database Id records should be 32/64 bit independent now. 64 bits + can be enabled by changing one define and changing the appropriate + table variable. Normally, you need 64 bits only for FileId. +- Relative path specifications (i.e. ../xxx) are now permitted in + the restore cd command. +- When running multiple simultaneous jobs, most jobs that use spooling + will now finish faster due to a mutex optimization made by Eric + Bollengier. +- Conf files containing UTF-8 marker at the head of the file as well as + conf files containing Window cr/lf and Mac cr line termination characters + are now accepted thanks to Robert Nelson. +- Windows tray status windows are scrollable and resizable. +- Win32 external script execution is much more flexible -- handles + spaces in names better, ... +- Lots of DVD fixes -- writing DVDs is now reported to work. +- Fix opening of database in a restricted console to respect + any Catalog ACL. +- Much better automatic handling of multiple database catalogs in + the restore command. +- Permit multiple console/director resources in bconsole.conf. + patch from Carsten Paeth calle@calle.in-berlin.de +- Character substitution in Job/JobDefs WriteBootStrap. + from Eric Bollengier. +- Apply patch supplied in bug #656 to pass priority field + in the run dialog to the Director in gnome console. +- Add support of encrypted data stream to bscan from Eric. + display data_len instead of data content (may be binary). +- Add Enabled=xxx on update slots command. +- Add host:port to connect failure messages to FD and SD from Dir/ +- Add WhereACL to console ACL list. If nothing is specified, only + the default is permitted for restore. Otherwise, *all* allows any + path, or you can specify permitted paths. This should allow control + over where users can restore files. This is untested. +- Install man pages with 'make install'. +- Add Media.Enabled flag to client backups for dotcmds.c +- Enforce Media.Enabled=1 for a current restore to work +- Require restore case 3 to have sqlquery permission to work. +- Add -n option to bconsole to turn off conio -- used in bweb. +- The bytes field in the terminated jobs part of the status + command now reports in KB, MB, ... units. +- When not descending into a directory, print the File= name that + triggered it -- makes why not descending a bit clearer +- Do not unload autochanger when doing "update slots" +- Implement mount command for autochanger +- Fix bug #462 incorrect error message printed when client script called + from File= was not found. +- Fix bug #558 (waiting for feedback) where Bacula needs too much time to + do a rewind on Solaris when no tape is in the drive (Solaris does not + have the detailed errno found on Linux). Added Solaris specific code. + Note, this may apply to other OSes as well. +- The examples directory has a new bacula_mail_summary.sh file that + creates a single email summary of any number of jobs. Submitted by + Andrew J. Millar. +- Add nagios plugin to the examples directory. Submitted by + Christian Masopust. +- Modify most restore error messages to be queued so that they + appear at the end of the job rather than mixed with the restore + listing where they could be "lost". +- Apply patch supplied by user (slightly modified) to fix + correct detection of holes in block devices and FIFOs. + Bug # 506. +- Added a report.pl program to the examples directory from Jonas Bjorklund. +- 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, ...). +- Implement new code for changing userid and group at startup. This + should get Bacula into the correct groups. +- Implement support for removable filesystems -- device type directive + and mount, unmount directives. +- Transfer rates are now presented in a more readable format thanks + to a user submission. +- SD is now aware of what volumes are mounted. More information is printed + in the Status report. You must take much more care now to unmount + devices prior to removing tapes that Bacula has open or prior to + changing a magazine. Don't forget to do a mount afterwards or the + device will be blocked. +- The Pool Maximum Volumes directive is now respected in all places. +- A Storage device can now be specified in a Pool resource. It will override + all other Storage specifications. +- Most but not all directives accept true/false in place of yes/no. +- A patch from Karl Hakimian that reads JobIds, FileIndexes + from a database table for restore. +- There are a number of new tables. Some such as the Location table are + designed for user use in doing Volume Management software. +- Maximum Changer Wait, Maximum Open Wait, Maximum Rewind Wait to + accept time qualifiers. +- Implement jobuid to replace old usage of job in keywords as + suggested by Eric Bollengier. +- Implement write variables for Python to set Priority (anytime), and + Job Level, only during JobInit event. +- 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 the SD to use multiple drives during a backup/restore (only + one at a time). +- Integrate addition of line count limitation to bsmtp -l from + Sebastian Stark +- Split the bacula start/start script into four files: + bacula -- starts and stops calling other scripts + bacula-ctl-dir -- starts/stops the director + bacula-ctl-fd -- starts/stops the File daemon + bacula-ctl-sd -- starts/stops the Storage daemon +- Remove automatic case folding on Windows FDs. You must + explicitly use the 'Ignore Case = yes' option. +- Implement wild program in tools directory for testing + wild-cards. Almost identical to the regex program. +- Use the new bregex.c to implement Regex expressions on Win32. +- Apply patch from Christopher Hull + - Allow multiple connections to database with different + parameters. + - Invalidate the scheduler when doing a reload. Fixes seg + fault, but still 60 second window. + - Additional info in Reschedule message. + - Use set_jcr_job_status() everywhere to prevent loss of + cancel, error. + - Display peer IP in FD if error from connecting DIR. + - Don't increment file count for DIRBEGIN. + - Replace illegal characters in Win32 filename by _. + - Add SE_CREATE_PERMANENT_NAME privilege in Win32. + - Hash hard link filenames rather than linked list (performance). + - Fix for security failure in chdir on Win32. + - Add CreateDirectoryA/W win32 API entry points. +- programs to duplicate Bacula's base64 algorithm using standard + routines. This fixes bugs #296, and 565. Patch submitted by + author of bug #565. +- Fixes to reloading the Dir conf file from Eric Bollengier and Christopher + Hull. +- Modify LICENSE to correct some problems pointed out by Debian. +- Apply a patch submitted by cesarb in bug #606 to implement O_NOATIME support. + O_NOATIME is a open() flag which makes it possible to read a file without + updating the inode atime (and also without the inode ctime update which + happens if you try to set the atime back to its previous value). It also + prevents a race condition when two programs are reading the same file, but + only one does not want to change the atime. It's most useful for backup + programs and file integrity checkers (and bacula can fit on both + categories). + You enable it in the Bacula FileSet Options resource by setting: + noatime = yes + The effect of this option is similar to the keepatime option except + it is more efficient and avoids modifying ctime. +- Implement a pile of new man pages contributed by Jose Tallon. +- Modify the database format for handling Migration jobs: + Add PriorJobId, RealEndTime to Job table + Delete MAC table + Remove Stripe from JobMedia record (not used, wasting space) + Add ScratchPoolId, RecyclePoolId, Enabled to Media record + Add Cost to Location table. + Enabled to Media table and Location table. +- Security: harden authentication failure in FD by single threading errors + and forcing a 6 second wait. +- If using GCC (actually g++) add the following compiler flags + -fno-strict-aliasing -fno-exceptions -fno-rtti +- Turn on new bsnprintf() code. The reason for this code is to + eliminate the security problems associated with using the + system libraries print routines. +- Implement job report that indicates where Storage and Pool + came from -- with overrides and Pool storage and NextPool, + it is all very complicated. +- Add more detail (Storage, Device) to list of volumes printed + for restore. +- Add new VOLMGMT message class. No messages are yet sent with this + class. +- Improved Bacula rescue procedures -- see the Disaster Recovery + chapter of the manual +- Add spooling/despooling info in status output of SD. +- Add Comment field to llist of a volume. +- Allow true/false in many but not all yes/no directives. +- The Bacula source code is now copyrighted by the Free Software + Foundation Europe. The Developer's Guide documents the new procedures, + and the LICENSE file has been updated. +- Apply Jaime Ventura's patch that implements the Messages resource + Mail On Success directive. +- The Client returns its Version string, which is printed in the Job + report. +- The Client returns whether or not VSS and Encryption are used, which + are printed in the Job report. + +Additional Features Added for Win32: +- Added DriveType directive to the Director's Include Option FileSet + resource.
