Unfortunately files that are in use by another - program cannot be saved. -- Support for Win95 systems (untested since I don't have Win95). -- Heartbeat every 20 minutes between daemons to prevent network - timeouts. The heartbeat interval can be set. -- Volume names may now only contain letters, numbers, colon, period, dash, - and underscore. - - -Other Changes this Release: -- Preliminary support for BSDi. -- Use smtp instead of mail to send the traceback message. -- Fixed a race condition in the "list" command while a backup is - in progress. -- Beginning of support for SSL encryption. -- Beggining of support for Base level backups. -- Improvements to gnome-console. -- Prune certain orphaned jobs (no files saved, no Volume used). -- Added non-fatal errors to Job reports. -- Eliminate need for SubsysDirectory in each daemon. -- Add a lot more "command line" options to console commands. -- More info in traceback (database type, ...). -- Better handling of errors with autochangers during restore. -- Better cancellation of jobs in Storage daemon (doesn't try - to cleanup twice). -- SD error messages such as autochanger errors are now properly - directed back to Console -- previously some were lost. + Release Notes for Bacula 1.34.1 + Bacula code: Total files = 306 Total lines = 91,155 (*.h *.c *.in) + +Changes for 1.34.1: +- Autochanger users, please note you must add %d to the end of the + changer command line in your Device resource in your bacula-sd.conf + file. +- Make backup report say "Backup OK with warnings" if either FD or SD + report any non-fatal errors. +- Modify bscan to print some elementary statistics (#Jobs, #Files, ...) + added to catalog. +- Added --enable-wx-console and updated Makefile.in +- Fix mtx-changer so that the calling sequence is compatible + with the previous version (the new one required arguments that + were not necessarily used). +- Document how to use stunnel with Bacula. +- Fix crash in query command. +- Remove schedule from the default restore job. +- Fix data spooler to use min/max tape blocking factors. +- Automatically turn of conio if library not found instead of bombing. +- Cleaned up a lot of copyright dates. +- Try to keep spool statistics from going negative. +- Added new Pools chapter. Doc about using two disks. +- Attempt to keep the spool file statistics size from going + negative. +- Fix the Director's Scheduled Jobs: list to have a === + termination. +- Fixed ./configure to disable readline rather than stop if + readline.h is not found +- Fixed a typo in the SQLite database update script as reported + by Robert J. Clark - thanks. +- Removed src/win32/pthreads and src/win32/zlib from the source + tree. +- Created a new depkgs-win32 that has the pthreads and zlib source + code. +- Removed the JobDefs from the default Restore job as it has a + schedule. Thanks to Matt Howard for this. + + + +Release 1.34.0 +Major Features: +- Data spooling which reduces tape shoe-shine during Inc backups, + and permits multiple simultaneous backups without interleaved blocks. +- Native Win32 client -- much faster and restores permissions correctly + (thanks to Christopher Hull) +- New Windows style installer for the Win32 Client. +- PostgreSQL database driver (thanks to Dan Langille). +- Polling of devices eliminating need to unmount and mount from + console. +- Improved Autochange support of Slots (update slots scan). +- Autochanger support for multiple drives (I think). +- New conio code to implement Console command line editing and history. +- JobDefs resource permits smaller .conf files for Director +- Access console lists for the Console +- Pool level overrides. +- Daemon "status" is recovered across daemon executions. +- Improved btape "test" and "fill" commands. Items to note: !!!!! -- For MySQL users, you must have the thread safe client libraries - available. If you build MySQL yourself, add the --enable-thread-safe-client - option on the ./configure. -- Version 1.31 and 1.30 daemons/Director are not compatible. You must - upgrade all or nothing. +- If you have a RedHat system, be sure to delete the /lib/tls + directory from your system. It contains defective pthreads code. +- The restore default is changed to have nothing selected by default. + You must either enter: "restore all" or after getting into the tree + selection prompt enter "mark *" to have everything selected. +- In previous versions the "all" keyword on the restore command caused + it to return without user interaction after selecting everything. + This function is now replaced by the "done" keyword (more logical). + The "all" keyword now causes everything to be selected by default. +- The default tape driver behavior is now to write only a single EOF + at the end of the tape. For most tape drives, this is totally + transparent and nothing needs to be done. For FreeBSD see below. +- FreeBSD users NOTE!!!!! + You may need the following two records to your SD Device resource for + tape drives. + + TWOEOF = yes + Fast Forward Space File = no + + The "Fast Forward Space File" is surely needed, and the TWOEOF + is needed on some systems and not others. Running the btape + "test" command will tell you. If you get an error with TWOEOF set + to yes, set it to no. + +- If you want either bsmtp or bconsole on Win32, you will need + to load the 1.32 version along with cygwin1.dll. Some solution + for this will be forthcoming in a future update. +- The daemon protocol has changed from version 1.32, you must update + everything at once. +- The database level has been updated. You must either re-initialize + your databases with: + + ./drop_bacula_tables + ./make_bacula_tables + + which will delete ALL prior catalog information, or you can + update your 1.32 database with: + + ./update_bacula_tables + + Please save your old database before dropping the tables or doing + an upgrade or you may regret it later. +- If you are updating versions older than 1.32, you can look in + the updatedb directory for scripts that you can use. You will need + to manually set the paths for your system. + +- smtp has now become bsmtp -- you *must* modify your .conf files. +- console has now become bconsole. +- console.conf is now bconsole.conf +- Please don't underestimate the repercussions of the bsmtp and bconsole + name changes! + + +New directives: +- "Close on Poll = yes/no" in SD Device resource. +- "Volume Poll Interval = time-interval" in SD Device resource. +- "Two EOF = yes/no" in SD Device resource. +- "Maximum Network Buffer Size = size" in SD Device resource. +- "Maximum Network Buffer Size = size" in FD FileDaemon (or Client) resource. +- "Console" new resource in Director conf file. + New directives: Name, Description, Password, JobACL, ClientACL, + StorageACL, ScheduleACL, RunACL, PoolACL, CommandACL, + FileSetACL, CatalogACL. +- "Max Run Time = duration" in Director Job resource. +- "Max Wait Time = duration" in Director Job resource (not fully implemented). +- "JobDefs = name-of-resource" in Director Job resource. +- "Jobdefs" new resource in Director. Same directives as for a Job. +- "Full Backup Pool = xxx" in Job resource in the Director. +- "Incremental Backup Pool = xxx" in Job resource in the Director. +- "Differential Backup Pool = xxx" in Job resource in the Director. +- Three new options on the Run override statement in a Schedule resource: + FullPool=xxx + IncrementalPool=xxx + DifferentialPool=xxx +- SpoolData=yes/no in DIR Job resource +- SpoolData=yes/no in Run override directive. +- MaximumSpoolSize in SD Device resource +- MaximumJobSpoolSize in SD Device resource +- SpoolDirectory in SD Device resource. +- Drive Index in SD Device resource for using two autochanger + drives. +- mtimeonly=yes/no on Include directive. +- keepatime=yes/no on Include directive. + +New Commands: +- "SetIP" +- Added "pool=xxx" to restore command line. +- Added "fileset=xxx" to restore command line. +- Fixed "storage=xxx" on restore command line. +- "markdir" command in restore tree. +- "unmarkdir" command in restore tree. +- "quit" command in restore tree. +- Trace option on "setdebug trace=1/0 ..." +- Update slots scan +- The "all" keyword on the restore command marks all files by default. +- The "done" keyword prevents user interaction with the tree -- used + mostly for batch scripting. + + +Additional changes: +- Slackware support +- On multiple ctl-c, exit from console quickly. +- Implement "delete job jobid=xxx jobid=yyy ..." +- Implement "purge volume=xxx volume=yyy ..." +- Add -p option to all SD programs including bacula-sd. It causes + Bacula to proceed or forge on in case of I/O errors. It is unlikely + this will help, and it is strongly recommended against running + the daemon with this option in production. +- Add a missing unlock in the jobq handler. +- Fix bug where a soft linked file and a directory had the same name + by treating the soft link as a directory and putting the entries under + it. This fixes the bug reported by Alexander Mueller. +- Apply Jess Guardiani's second fix to list autochanger volumes without + opening the drive (necessary on FreeBSD if no tape is in the drive). +- Reworked the command line handler in restore to walk through the + arguments one at a time. This makes the file= entries work correctly. + Also reworked the code that takes the MediaType and finds a + storage device. +- Add quit command to restore tree handler. +- Make restore tree handler remember if a hard link is present, and + in doing a mark, only get database entry if there is a hard link. + mark commands thus run at least 2 orders of magnitude faster. +- Add files=xxx field to run command submitted for restore. +- Add yes to restore run command if either yes or run is command line + argument. +- Make "yes" on command line argument skip prompt for modification of + run job. +- Add markdir and unmarkdir -- both affect only the directory in + question and do not do a recursive descent. +- Make tree command automatically mark all higher level directories to + be restored when a directory or a file is selected. Such directories + are indicated by preceding the name with a + to indicate that only + the directory entry is selected and not the whole directory tree. +- Modify a few tree commands to walk through all arguments rather than + just taking the first one. +- Improved btape "test" and "fill" commands. +- The ability to ask the Storage daemon on a device by device basis + to "poll" the tape drive at a given interval (minimum 1 minute). If + a tape is found, its label is read and if appropriate it is used. + This eliminates the need to do "mount" commands. +- The ability to close and re-open the device when a poll occurs. + This permits dealing with certain recalcitrant autochangers that + invalidate devices (typically on FreeBSD). +- Dan Langille has written a PostgreSQL driver for Bacula. +- Implement "update slots scan" that reads the volume label(s). +- The full form of the scan is "scan=1,2,4-5,7". With no specification, + all occupied slots are scanned. +- Turn off changer Volumes that are not current in the changer when + an "update slots" is done, or if any tape operation discovers that + the right volume is not in the slot. +- The console program will run all commands it finds in ~/.bconsolerc + at startup. +- Add Dan Langille's changes to the bacula start/stop script that + permit dropping root permissions just after startup. +- New version 1.5.5-1 Cygwin. +- Modify SD to update the catalog database when it is shutdown, + even if the job is canceled. +- Fixed seg fault in restore of multiple simultaneous jobs to + a single Volume. +- Fixed thread race problem in multiple simultaneous jobs to + a single Volume where the volume label is not in the first + tape block, so the tape is not recognized. +- Restore directory tree automatically selects all higher level + directories to be restored. +- Implement conio.c to use in console program -- mini-readline. +- Enhance "fill" command of btape -- simpler output. Use -v to + cause last block to be dumped after write and after re-read. +- Added an autochanger test to the btape "test" command. It is + automatically invoked if the autochanger is properly configured. It + is still a bit primitive but covers the essential of testing + the mtx-changer script with your autochanger. +- Select the oldest LastWritten volume during recycling. +- Added forward space file test to btape "test" command. +- All 1.32d patches applied. +- Fixed seg fault in restore of multiple simultaneous jobs to + a single Volume. +- Fixed thread race problem in multiple simultaneous jobs to + a single Volume where the volume lable is not in the first + tape block, so the tape is not recognized.
