Will permit faster restores, - and correct restores of Volumes written with multiple - simultaneous jobs. -- Important change to communications protocol. Eliminated - deprecated 0 signal. -- Implemented VolumeUseDuration (duration Volume can be written) -- Implemented MaximumVolumeJobs (max jobs written to volume) see - the Pool documentation for the Director for more details. -- Rework of the Web site. -- New format for the User's Guide (manual). -- New bcopy tool (works but not totally complete). -- All bxxx tool programs MUST read a Storage daemon configuration file. -- Mount Anonymous Volumes is now dropped from the Storage - daemon configuration files. -- Accept Any Volume is by default "Yes" and permits Bacula - to accept any appendable volume from the pool. Previously, - it would accept ONLY the next appendable volume. To get - the old behavior add "Accept Any Volume = No" to the - Storage resources of your Director's configuration file. -- New database format. You must either re-initialize your database or - use /src/cats/alter_mysql_tables (or alter_sqlite_tables) - to upgrade an existing database. +- Bare Metal Recovery mostly automated for Linux systems and + partially automated for Solaris +- Optimized restore, forward spaces to correct tape file and + stops reading the archive when all files are restored. +- Schedule permits specification of 1st, 2nd, ... week e.g. + 1st Sun ... Minor Changes this Release: -- A number of small bug fixes. -- Improve handling of the "Where" prefix on Win32 by first - stripping any previous drive. This allows restoration to - any drive. -- Modified Director-FD logon sequence to pass the OS id strings - to the director. -- Fixed mount loop when the autochanger slot is incorrect in - the catalog. -- Updated the bacula start/stop script to work on more systems. -- Fixed many places prone to buffer overflows. -- Scripts are now found in /scripts -- A mtx-changer script was contributed for the Sony - TLS-11000 autochanger. It is in /examples +- Allow backup of raw partitions. +- Fixed Restore options (never,ifnewer, ...). They now work. +- New bidirectional timed pipe mechanism for running child processes + permits better error messages. +- Faster Storage daemon initialization (using pthreads) +- Unlimited devices in Storage daemon (previously hard coded to 20). +- Fixed bug that recognized only the last option specified on Include record. +- Easier building of statically linked version of Bacula. +- Fixed pruning bug. +- Fixes for VolUseDuration (problems putting it in DB). +- Fix for / specified as Where. +- Enhanced WriteBootstrap (more precise parameters -- e.g. volfile, ...) +- Improved handling of Differential jobs (now on par with Incremental) +- User supplied script in examples directory for backing up AFS file system. +- User supplied script for Sun-desktop autoloader (examples/devices). +- Added configure options for building static versions of the + daemons and the console program. +- Added a --enable-client-only option that will cause "make" to only + build the File daemon and the libraries it needs. +- Documented how to save the Catalog database (with included script). Items to note: -- You must re-initialize or alter your databases. -- The inter-daemon protocol has changed so you must - upgrade all your daemons (and all Clients). - -Altering your database: -- First make a backup. -- Configure and build Bacula - -- For MySQL - cd /src/cats - ./alter_mysql_tables - -- For SQLite - cd /src/cats - ./alter_sqlite_tables +- Nothing in particular.
