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 submitted by John Kodis - . -- 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. - -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 for version 1.39.18 and greater: +- The documentation is almost non-existent for all new features + except RunScripts (written and documented by Eric Bollingier). +- If you have an old pre 1.39.18 database, you must upgrade it using + the upgrade_bacula_tables script. Please backup your database before + upgrading just in case. +- You *should* be able to use 1.38.x FDs with version 1.39.18 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. +- 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. +- The "Accept Any Volume" directive has been removed. It was never + implemented. Bacula will always accept any valid tape that is in + the drive for appending. +- To install the 1.39.18 Win32 FD, you *must* first stop any + previous version that is running in a DOS shell with: -Minor bug fixes: -- See below: + net stop bacula + or select the 'Close Bacula' menu item from the Bacula tray icon, + you should then save your bacula-fd.conf file, and either + uninstall (using Uninstall.bat in the c:\bacula directory) or + remove the old installation by manually in a DOS shell in the + Bacula directory enter: -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 submitted by John Kodis -- 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. + bacula-fd /remove -26Feb06 -- Fix bug reported by Arno listing blocks with bls -- Update the po files at Eric's request. + after that you can proceed with the installation. My experience + is that it does not properly create the new bacula-fd.conf file, so + copy the one saved to the directory you chose to install Bacula, + or to the directory chosen by the Installer to put the bacula-fd.conf + file. Then you can start Bacula in a DOS shell with: -Release 1.38.6-beta2 25Feb06 -25Feb06 -- Add sql_use_result() define. + net start baculafd -Changes to 1.38.6-beta1 -- Don't open default catalog if not in ACL. -- Add virtual disk autochanger code. -- Add user supplied bug fix to make two autochangers work - correctly using StorageId with InChanger checks. -- Correct new/old_jcr confusion in copy_storage(). -- Remove & from Job during scan in msgchan.c -- probably - trashed the stack. -- When getting the next Volume if no Volume in Append mode - exists and we are dealing with an Autochanger, search - for a Scratch Volume. -- Check for missing value in dot commands -- bug fix. -- Fix bug in update barcodes command line scanning. -- Make sure Pool Max Vols is respected. -- Check that user supplied a value before referencing - it in restore -- pointed out by Karl Hakimian. -- Add Karl Hakimian's table insert code. -- Don't ask user to select a specific Volume when - updating all volumes in a Pool. -- Remove reservation if set for read when removing dcr. -- Lock code that requests next appendable volume so that - two jobs to get the same Volume at the same time. -- Add new Device Type = xxx code. 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. + or use the Windows Control Panel->Administrative Tools->Component + Services menu item. -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. -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. +A Lot of New features for 1.39.18: +- Switch the Win32 build from using Microsoft C++ to using mingw32 + cross-compiling. The inital 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, ... + Finally, he also ported the Directory and the Storage daemon to + Win32. +- Data encryption done in the Client is now supported due to code + submitted by Landon Fuller. +- 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 Thorsted Engel. +- 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. +- 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. +- SunOS ACLs should now work thanks to a patch from David Duchscher. +- The database Id records should be 32/64 bit independent now. 64 bits + can be enabled by changing one define, but this has never been tested. +- 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. This patch was probably back ported to 1.38.x +- 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 mixted 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 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. - - -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. Bug #491. - -Changes to 1.38.2: -- Fix crash in tray-monitor when daemon disconnects.

Fixes bug #457. -- Remove @STATIC_CONS@ from tray-monitor Makefile as suggested - by user. Fixes bug #456. -- AMD64 users see compiler bug warning below!!!!!!!!! +- 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. +- 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. +- 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. +- Apply patch for enhancing wait from Eric Bollengier. One can now: + wait (wait for all jobs to stop) + wait jobid=nn + wait jobuid=unique id + wait job=job-name +- 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). This is not well tested. +- 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.

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. + Implement 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). -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. + Recent versions of the Linux kernel and glibc have support for it (the + glibc support being mostly copying the O_NOATIME definition to + bits/fcntl.h). If there's no support for it on the kernel, trying to use + it does nothing (since the kernel ignores unknown flags). -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. + If the kernel has support for it, trying to use it either works, fails + silently (mostly in remote filesystems), or returns errno=EPERM (if you + are not either the owner of the file or root). A simple way to prevent the + failure is to open the file without the flag and set it later with + fcntl(F_SETFL), ignoring any EPERM errors. +- Implement a pile of new man pages contributed by Jose Tallon. +- Implement a number of user supplied patches for DVD writing. +- 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. This could cause print output + to look different. +- 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. +- Add Catalog message destination in Messages resource that puts the + job report in the Log database table. +- Spend a lot of time integrating mkcdrec with the rescue disk. +- Add spooling/despooling info in status output of SD. +- Add Comment field to llist of a volume. +- Allow true/false in some yes/no questions. +- Implement update volume enable=(on|off|true|false|archived|0|1|2) -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. +Additional Features Added for Win32: -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. +Added DriveType directive to the Director's Include Option FileSet +resource. Allowed values are: fixed, removable, cdrom, and remote. There +is only an implementation for Windows because it is the only platform that +has the concept of drives. + +Adds EnhancedWild directive to the Director's Include Option FileSet +resource. Allowed values are: yes and no. + +When EnhancedWild is enabled then the processing of the +Wild, WildDir and WildFile is changed in the following ways. + + Patterns conform to Posix + \ is not a special character in character classification [] + To match a - it must be the first or last character + To match a ] it must be the first character + + fnmatch option FNM_FILE_NAME is specified * doesn't match a / + so it won't match multiple directory levels in a path + +Relative WildFile patterns (ones without a leading /) match +against the filename portion. This in combination with the +FNM_FILE_NAME fnmatch() flag makes directives such as WildFile = +abc*.def work as expected. + +Adds support for the shell's feature of brace expansion. -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: +Here is an example where braces allow 24 lines to be expressed in 5. - ./upgrade_bacula_tables +# Exclude directories full of lots and lots of useless little files +WildDir = "[A-Z]:/{Documents and +Settings,{WINNT,Windows}/Profiles}/*/Cookies" +WildDir = "[A-Z]:/{Documents and +Settings,{WINNT,Windows}/Profiles}/*/Recent" +WildDir = "[A-Z]:/{Documents and Settings,{WINNT,Windows}/Profiles}/*/{Local +Settings,LOCALS~1}/History" +WildDir = "[A-Z]:/{Documents and Settings,{WINNT,Windows}/Profiles}/*/{Local +Settings,LOCALS~1}/Temp" +WildDir = "[A-Z]:/{Documents and Settings,{WINNT,Windows}/Profiles}/*/{Local +Settings,LOCALS~1}/Temporary Internet Files" - 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. -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. +Here are some hints if you want to play with the Windows Director and/or +Storage daemon. + +Changer and Tape device names in Windows are Changer0, Changer1, etc and +Tape0, Tape1, etc. If there isn't a device driver loaded for the Changer +then you need to use the address :::. Port is the +SCSI Adapter Number, Bus is the Bus Number on the adapter (usually 0 since +most adapters only have one bus), Target is the device's Target Device ID, +Lun is the Logical Unit Number. + +You must specify DeviceType = tape in the Device resource in bacula-sd.conf +since detection doesn't currently work.
