-Item  2: 'restore' menu: enter a JobId, automatically select dependents 
-Origin: Graham Keeling (graham@equiinet.com)
-Date:  13 March 2009
-Status: Done in 3.0.2
-
-What:   Add to the bconsole 'restore' menu the ability to select a job
-        by JobId, and have bacula automatically select all the
-        dependent jobs.
-
-        Why: Currently, you either have to...
-
-        a) laboriously type in a date that is greater than the date of the
-        backup that you want and is less than the subsequent backup (bacula
-        then figures out the dependent jobs), or
-        b) manually figure out all the JobIds that you want and laboriously
-        type them all in.  It would be extremely useful (in a programmatical
-        sense, as well as for humans) to be able to just give it a single JobId
-        and let bacula do the hard work (work that it already knows how to do).
-
-        Notes (Kern): I think this should either be modified to have Bacula
-        print a list of dates that the user can choose from as is done in
-        bwx-console and bat or the name of this command must be carefully
-        chosen so that the user clearly understands that the JobId is being
-        used to specify what Job and the date to which he wishes the restore to
-        happen.

-Item  3: Scheduling syntax that permits more flexibility and options
-   Date: 15 December 2006
-  Origin: Gregory Brauer (greg at wildbrain dot com) and
-          Florian Schnabel <florian.schnabel at docufy dot de>
-  Status:
-
-   What: Currently, Bacula only understands how to deal with weeks of the
-          month or weeks of the year in schedules.  This makes it impossible
-          to do a true weekly rotation of tapes.  There will always be a
-          discontinuity that will require disruptive manual intervention at
-          least monthly or yearly because week boundaries never align with
-          month or year boundaries.
-
-          A solution would be to add a new syntax that defines (at least)
-          a start timestamp, and repetition period.
-
-          An easy option to skip a certain job  on a certain date.
-   
-
-     Why: Rotated backups done at weekly intervals are useful, and Bacula
-          cannot currently do them without extensive hacking.
-
-          You could then easily skip tape backups on holidays.  Especially
-          if you got no autochanger and can only fit one backup on a tape
-          that would be really handy, other jobs could proceed normally
-          and you won't get errors that way.
-
-
-   Notes: Here is an example syntax showing a 3-week rotation where full
-          Backups would be performed every week on Saturday, and an
-          incremental would be performed every week on Tuesday.  Each
-          set of tapes could be removed from the loader for the following
-          two cycles before coming back and being reused on the third
-          week.  Since the execution times are determined by intervals
-          from a given point in time, there will never be any issues with
-          having to adjust to any sort of arbitrary time boundary.  In
-          the example provided, I even define the starting schedule
-          as crossing both a year and a month boundary, but the run times
-          would be based on the "Repeat" value and would therefore happen
-          weekly as desired.
-
-
-          Schedule {
-              Name = "Week 1 Rotation"
-              #Saturday.  Would run Dec 30, Jan 20, Feb 10, etc.

-   Notes: Kern: I have merged the previously separate project of skipping 
-          jobs (via Schedule syntax) into this.
-
+  What: Various ideas for redesigns planned for the SD:
+   1. One thread per drive
+   2. Design a class structure for all objects in the SD.
+   3. Make Device into C++ classes for each device type
+   4. Make Device have a proxy (front end intercept class) that will permit control over locking and changing the real device pointer.  It can also permit delaying opening, so that we can adapt to having another program that tells us the Archive device name.
+   5. Allow plugins to create new on the fly devices
+   6. Separate SD volume manager
+   7. Volume manager tells Bacula what drive or device to use for a given volume
+  
+  Why:  It will simplify the SD, make it more modular, reduce locking
+        conflicts, and allow multiple buffer backups.

+ Origin: Bacula Systems

-  What: The storage demon should be able to do the data encryption that can
-        currently be done by the file daemon.
+  What:  Backup/restore via NDMP -- most important NetApp compatibility
 
-  Why: This would have 2 advantages: 
-       1) one could encrypt the data of unencrypted tapes by doing a 
-          migration job
-       2) the storage daemon would be the only machine that would have

+  What:  Backup/restore Oracle databases
 
-   What: Provide a way for Bacula to automatically remove Volumes
-          from the filesystem, or optionally to truncate them.
-          Obviously, the Volume must be pruned prior removal.
+Item  6: Include timestamp of job launch in "stat clients" output
+  Origin: Mark Bergman <mark.bergman@uphs.upenn.edu>
+  Date:  Tue Aug 22 17:13:39 EDT 2006
+  Status:
 
-  Why:   This would allow users more control over their Volumes and
-          prevent disk based volumes from consuming too much space.
+  What:  The "stat clients" command doesn't include any detail on when
+          the active backup jobs were launched.
 
-  Notes: The following two directives might do the trick:
+  Why:   Including the timestamp would make it much easier to decide whether
+          a job is running properly. 
 
-          Volume Data Retention = <time period>
-          Remove Volume After = <time period>
+  Notes: It may be helpful to have the output from "stat clients" formatted 
+          more like that from "stat dir" (and other commands), in a column
+          format. The per-client information that's currently shown (level,
+          client name, JobId, Volume, pool, device, Files, etc.) is good, but
+          somewhat hard to parse (both programmatically and visually), 
+          particularly when there are many active clients.
 
-          The migration project should also remove a Volume that is
-          migrated. This might also work for tape Volumes.
 
-  Notes: (Kern). The data fields to control this have been added
-          to the new 3.0.0 database table structure.
+Item  7: Include all conf files in specified directory
+Date:  18 October 2008
+Origin: Database, Lda. Maputo, Mozambique
+Contact:Cameron Smith / cameron.ord@database.co.mz 
+Status: New request
 
+What: A directive something like "IncludeConf = /etc/bacula/subconfs" Every
+      time Bacula Director restarts or reloads, it will walk the given
+      directory (non-recursively) and include the contents of any files
+      therein, as though they were appended to bacula-dir.conf
 
-Item  6: Implement Base jobs 
-  Date:  28 October 2005
-  Origin: Kern
-  Status:
-  
-  What:  A base job is sort of like a Full save except that you 
-          will want the FileSet to contain only files that are
-          unlikely to change in the future (i.e.  a snapshot of
-          most of your system after installing it).  After the
-          base job has been run, when you are doing a Full save,
-          you specify one or more Base jobs to be used.  All
-          files that have been backed up in the Base job/jobs but
-          not modified will then be excluded from the backup.
-          During a restore, the Base jobs will be automatically
-          pulled in where necessary.
-
-  Why:   This is something none of the competition does, as far as
-          we know (except perhaps BackupPC, which is a Perl program that
-          saves to disk only).  It is big win for the user, it
-          makes Bacula stand out as offering a unique
-          optimization that immediately saves time and money.
-          Basically, imagine that you have 100 nearly identical
-          Windows or Linux machine containing the OS and user
-          files.  Now for the OS part, a Base job will be backed
-          up once, and rather than making 100 copies of the OS,
-          there will be only one.  If one or more of the systems
-          have some files updated, no problem, they will be
-          automatically restored.
-
-  Notes: Huge savings in tape usage even for a single machine.
-          Will require more resources because the DIR must send
-          FD a list of files/attribs, and the FD must search the
-          list and compare it for each file to be saved.

-Item  7: Add ability to Verify any specified Job.
-Date: 17 January 2008
-Origin: portrix.net Hamburg, Germany.
-Contact: Christian Sabelmann
-Status: 70% of the required Code is part of the Verify function since v. 2.x
+Why: Permits simplified and safer configuration for larger installations with
+      many client PCs.  Currently, through judicious use of JobDefs and
+      similar directives, it is possible to reduce the client-specific part of
+      a configuration to a minimum.  The client-specific directives can be
+      prepared according to a standard template and dropped into a known
+      directory.  However it is still necessary to add a line to the "master"
+      (bacula-dir.conf) referencing each new file.  This exposes the master to
+      unnecessary risk of accidental mistakes and makes automation of adding
+      new client-confs, more difficult (it is easier to automate dropping a
+      file into a dir, than rewriting an existing file).  Ken has previously
+      made a convincing argument for NOT including Bacula's core configuration
+      in an RDBMS, but I believe that the present request is a reasonable
+      extension to the current "flat-file-based" configuration philosophy.
+ 
+Notes: There is NO need for any special syntax to these files.  They should
+       contain standard directives which are simply "inlined" to the parent
+       file as already happens when you explicitly reference an external file.
 
-   What:
-   The ability to tell Bacula which Job should verify instead of 
-   automatically verify just the last one.
+Notes: (kes) this can already be done with scripting
+     From: John Jorgensen <jorgnsn@lcd.uregina.ca>
+     The bacula-dir.conf at our site contains these lines:
 
-   Why: 
-   It is sad that such a powerfull feature like Verify Jobs
-   (VolumeToCatalog) is restricted to be used only with the last backup Job
-   of a client.  Actual users who have to do daily Backups are forced to
-   also do daily Verify Jobs in order to take advantage of this useful
-   feature.  This Daily Verify after Backup conduct is not always desired
-   and Verify Jobs have to be sometimes scheduled.  (Not necessarily
-   scheduled in Bacula).  With this feature Admins can verify Jobs once a
-   Week or less per month, selecting the Jobs they want to verify.  This
-   feature is also not to difficult to implement taking in account older bug
-   reports about this feature and the selection of the Job to be verified.
-          
-   Notes: For the verify Job, the user could select the Job to be verified 
-   from a List of the latest Jobs of a client. It would also be possible to 
-   verify a certain volume.  All of these would naturaly apply only for 
-   Jobs whose file information are still in the catalog.

-  What:  Make Bacula manage tape life cycle information, tape reuse

-
-  Why:   All three parts of this project are important when operating
-          backups.
-          We need to know which tapes need replacement, and we need to
-          make sure the drives are cleaned when necessary.  While many
-          tape libraries and even autoloaders can handle all this

-          (older) libraries and single drives.  Limiting the number of
-          times a tape is used might prevent tape errors when using
-          tapes until the drives can't read it any more.  Also, checking
-          drive status during operation can prevent some failures (as I
-          [Arno] had to learn the hard way...)
-
-  Notes: First, Bacula could (and even does, to some limited extent)
-          record tape and drive usage.  For tapes, the number of mounts,
-          the amount of data, and the time the tape has actually been
-          running could be recorded.  Data fields for Read and Write
-          time and Number of mounts already exist in the catalog (I'm
-          not sure if VolBytes is the sum of all bytes ever written to
-          that volume by Bacula).  This information can be important
-          when determining which media to replace.  The ability to mark
-          Volumes as "used up" after a given number of write cycles
-          should also be implemented so that a tape is never actually
-          worn out.  For the tape drives known to Bacula, similar
-          information is interesting to determine the device status and
-          expected life time: Time it's been Reading and Writing, number
-          of tape Loads / Unloads / Errors.  This information is not yet
-          recorded as far as I [Arno] know.  A new volume status would
-          be necessary for the new state, like "Used up" or "Worn out".
-          Volumes with this state could be used for restores, but not
-          for writing. These volumes should be migrated first (assuming
-          migration is implemented) and, once they are no longer needed,
-          could be moved to a Trash pool.
-
-          The next step would be to implement a drive cleaning setup.
-          Bacula already has knowledge about cleaning tapes.  Once it
-          has some information about cleaning cycles (measured in drive
-          run time, number of tapes used, or calender days, for example)
-          it can automatically execute tape cleaning (with an
-          autochanger, obviously) or ask for operator assistance loading
-          a cleaning tape.
-
-          The final step would be to implement TAPEALERT checks not only
-          when changing tapes and only sending the information to the
-          administrator, but rather checking after each tape error,
-          checking on a regular basis (for example after each tape
-          file), and also before unloading and after loading a new tape.
-          Then, depending on the drives TAPEALERT state and the known
-          drive cleaning state Bacula could automatically schedule later
-          cleaning, clean immediately, or inform the operator.
-
-          Implementing this would perhaps require another catalog change
-          and perhaps major changes in SD code and the DIR-SD protocol,
-          so I'd only consider this worth implementing if it would
-          actually be used or even needed by many people.
-
-          Implementation of these projects could happen in three distinct
-          sub-projects: Measuring Tape and Drive usage, retiring
-          volumes, and handling drive cleaning and TAPEALERTs.

-Item 10: Restore from volumes on multiple storage daemons
-Origin: Graham Keeling (graham@equiinet.com)
-Date:  12 March 2009
-Status: Done in 3.0.2
-
-What:  The ability to restore from volumes held by multiple storage daemons
-        would be very useful.
-
-Why: It is useful to be able to backup to any number of different storage
-        daemons. For example, your first storage daemon may run out of space,
-        so you switch to your second and carry on. Bacula will currently let
-        you do this.  However, once you come to restore, bacula cannot cope
-        when volumes on different storage daemons are required.
-
-        Notes: The director knows that more than one storage daemon is needed,
-        as bconsole outputs something like the following table.
-
-        The job will require the following
-           Volume(s)                 Storage(s)                SD Device(s)
-        =====================================================================
-           
-           backup-0001               Disk 1                    Disk 1.0 
-           backup-0002               Disk 2                    Disk 2.0 
-
-        However, the bootstrap file that it creates gets sent to the first
-        storage daemon only, which then stalls for a long time, 'waiting for a
-        mount request' for the volume that it doesn't have.  The bootstrap file
-        contains no knowledge of the storage daemon.  Under the current design:
-
-        The director connects to the storage daemon, and gets an sd_auth_key.
-        The director then connects to the file daemon, and gives it the
-        sd_auth_key with the 'jobcmd'.  (restoring of files happens) The
-        director does a 'wait_for_storage_daemon_termination()'.  The director
-        waits for the file daemon to indicate the end of the job.
-
-        With my idea:
-
-        The director connects to the file daemon.
-        Then, for each storage daemon in the .bsr file...  {
-          The director connects to the storage daemon, and gets an sd_auth_key.
-          The director then connects to the file daemon, and gives it the
-                   sd_auth_key with the 'storaddr' command.
-          (restoring of files happens)
-          The director does a 'wait_for_storage_daemon_termination()'.
-          The director waits for the file daemon to indicate the end of the
-                   work on this storage.
-        }
-
-        The director tells the file daemon that there are no more storages to
-        contact.  The director waits for the file daemon to indicate the end of
-        the job.  As you can see, each restore between the file daemon and
-        storage daemon is handled in the same way that it is currently handled,
-        using the same method for authentication, except that the sd_auth_key
-        is moved from the 'jobcmd' to the 'storaddr' command - where it
-        logically belongs.

-Item 11: Implement Storage daemon compression

-  Origin: Vadim A. Umanski , e-mail umanski@ext.ru
-  Status:
-  What:  The ability to compress backup data on the SD receiving data
-          instead of doing that on client sending data.
-  Why:   The need is practical. I've got some machines that can send
-          data to the network 4 or 5 times faster than compressing
-          them (I've measured that). They're using fast enough SCSI/FC
-          disk subsystems but rather slow CPUs (ex. UltraSPARC II).
-          And the backup server has got a quite fast CPUs (ex. Dual P4
-          Xeons) and quite a low load. When you have 20, 50 or 100 GB
-          of raw data - running a job 4 to 5 times faster - that
-          really matters. On the other hand, the data can be
-          compressed 50% or better - so losing twice more space for
-          disk backup is not good at all. And the network is all mine
-          (I have a dedicated management/provisioning network) and I
-          can get as high bandwidth as I need - 100Mbps, 1000Mbps...
-          That's why the server-side compression feature is needed!

+Item  9: Concurrent spooling and despooling within a single job.
+Date:  17 nov 2009
+Origin: Jesper Krogh <jesper@krogh.cc>
+Status: NEW
+What:  When a job has spooling enabled and the spool area size is
+       less than the total volumes size the storage daemon will:
+       1) Spool to spool-area
+       2) Despool to tape
+       3) Go to 1 if more data to be backed up.
+
+       Typical disks will serve data with a speed of 100MB/s when
+       dealing with large files, network it typical capable of doing 115MB/s
+       (GbitE). Tape drives will despool with 50-90MB/s (LTO3) 70-120MB/s
+       (LTO4) depending on compression and data.
+
+       As bacula currently works it'll hold back data from the client until
+       de-spooling is done, now matter if the spool area can handle another
+       block of data. Say given a FileSet of 4TB and a spool-area of 100GB and
+       a Maximum Job Spool Size set to 50GB then above sequence could be
+       changed to allow to spool to the other 50GB while despooling the first
+       50GB and not holding back the client while doing it. As above numbers
+       show, depending on tape-drive and disk-arrays this potentially leads to
+       a cut of the backup-time of 50% for the individual jobs.
+
+       Real-world example, backing up 112.6GB (large files) to LTO4 tapes
+       (despools with ~75MB/s, data is gzipped on the remote filesystem.
+       Maximum Job Spool Size = 8GB
+
+       Current:
+       Size: 112.6GB
+       Elapsed time (total time): 46m 15s => 2775s
+       Despooling time: 25m 41s => 1541s (55%)
+       Spooling time: 20m 34s => 1234s (45%)
+       Reported speed: 40.58MB/s
+       Spooling speed: 112.6GB/1234s => 91.25MB/s
+       Despooling speed: 112.6GB/1541s => 73.07MB/s
+
+       So disk + net can "keep up" with the LTO4 drive (in this test)
+
+       Prosed change would effectively make the backup run in the "despooling
+       time" 1541s giving a reduction to 55% of the total run time.
+
+       In the situation where the individual job cannot keep up with LTO-drive
+       spooling enables efficient multiplexing of multiple concurrent jobs onto
+       the same drive.
+
+Why:   When dealing with larger volumes the general utillization of the
+       network/disk is important to maximize in order to be able to run a full
+       backup over a weekend. Current work-around is to split the FileSet in
+       smaller FileSet and Jobs but that leads to more configuration mangement
+       and is harder to review for completeness. Subsequently it makes restores
+       more complex.

+Date: 17 January 2008
+Origin: portrix.net Hamburg, Germany.
+Contact: Christian Sabelmann
+Status: 70% of the required Code is part of the Verify function since v. 2.x
 
-  What: Add a new option to the storage resource of the director.  Depending
-          on this option, compression will be enabled/disabled for a device.
+   What:
+   The ability to tell Bacula which Job should verify instead of 
+   automatically verify just the last one.
 
-  Why: If different devices (disks/tapes) are used for full/diff/incr
-          backups, software compression will be enabled for all backups
-          because of the FileSet compression option.  For backup to tapes
-          wich are able to do hardware compression this is not desired.
+   Why: 
+   It is sad that such a powerfull feature like Verify Jobs
+   (VolumeToCatalog) is restricted to be used only with the last backup Job
+   of a client.  Actual users who have to do daily Backups are forced to
+   also do daily Verify Jobs in order to take advantage of this useful
+   feature.  This Daily Verify after Backup conduct is not always desired
+   and Verify Jobs have to be sometimes scheduled.  (Not necessarily
+   scheduled in Bacula).  With this feature Admins can verify Jobs once a
+   Week or less per month, selecting the Jobs they want to verify.  This
+   feature is also not to difficult to implement taking in account older bug
+   reports about this feature and the selection of the Job to be verified.
           
+   Notes: For the verify Job, the user could select the Job to be verified 
+   from a List of the latest Jobs of a client. It would also be possible to 
+   verify a certain volume.  All of these would naturaly apply only for 
+   Jobs whose file information are still in the catalog.

-         It must be clear to the user, that the FileSet compression option

-         Thus a name for the new option in the director must be
-         well-defined.

-Item 16: Include all conf files in specified directory
-Date:  18 October 2008
-Origin: Database, Lda. Maputo, Mozambique
-Contact:Cameron Smith / cameron.ord@database.co.mz 
-Status: New request
-
-What: A directive something like "IncludeConf = /etc/bacula/subconfs" Every
-      time Bacula Director restarts or reloads, it will walk the given
-      directory (non-recursively) and include the contents of any files
-      therein, as though they were appended to bacula-dir.conf
-
-Why: Permits simplified and safer configuration for larger installations with
-      many client PCs.  Currently, through judicious use of JobDefs and
-      similar directives, it is possible to reduce the client-specific part of
-      a configuration to a minimum.  The client-specific directives can be
-      prepared according to a standard template and dropped into a known
-      directory.  However it is still necessary to add a line to the "master"
-      (bacula-dir.conf) referencing each new file.  This exposes the master to
-      unnecessary risk of accidental mistakes and makes automation of adding
-      new client-confs, more difficult (it is easier to automate dropping a
-      file into a dir, than rewriting an existing file).  Ken has previously
-      made a convincing argument for NOT including Bacula's core configuration
-      in an RDBMS, but I believe that the present request is a reasonable
-      extension to the current "flat-file-based" configuration philosophy.
- 
-Notes: There is NO need for any special syntax to these files.  They should
-       contain standard directives which are simply "inlined" to the parent
-       file as already happens when you explicitly reference an external file.
-
-Notes: (kes) this can already be done with scripting
-     From: John Jorgensen <jorgnsn@lcd.uregina.ca>
-     The bacula-dir.conf at our site contains these lines:
-
-   #
-   # Include subfiles associated with configuration of clients.
-   # They define the bulk of the Clients, Jobs, and FileSets.
-   #
-   @|"sh -c 'for f in /etc/bacula/clientdefs/*.conf ; do echo @${f} ; done'"
-
-    and when we get a new client, we just put its configuration into
-    a new file called something like:
-
-    /etc/bacula/clientdefs/clientname.conf

-          A confiuration option in the job section should be used to

+  Why: This would have 2 advantages: 
+       1) one could encrypt the data of unencrypted tapes by doing a

+       2) the storage daemon would be the only machine that would have 
+          to keep the encryption keys.
 
-          If the theads could spool the data to separate spool files

+  Status:
+
+   What: Currently, Bacula only understands how to deal with weeks of the
+          month or weeks of the year in schedules.  This makes it impossible
+          to do a true weekly rotation of tapes.  There will always be a
+          discontinuity that will require disruptive manual intervention at
+          least monthly or yearly because week boundaries never align with
+          month or year boundaries.
+
+          A solution would be to add a new syntax that defines (at least)
+          a start timestamp, and repetition period.
+
+          An easy option to skip a certain job  on a certain date.
+   
+
+     Why: Rotated backups done at weekly intervals are useful, and Bacula
+          cannot currently do them without extensive hacking.
+
+          You could then easily skip tape backups on holidays.  Especially
+          if you got no autochanger and can only fit one backup on a tape
+          that would be really handy, other jobs could proceed normally
+          and you won't get errors that way.
+
+
+   Notes: Here is an example syntax showing a 3-week rotation where full
+          Backups would be performed every week on Saturday, and an
+          incremental would be performed every week on Tuesday.  Each
+          set of tapes could be removed from the loader for the following
+          two cycles before coming back and being reused on the third
+          week.  Since the execution times are determined by intervals
+          from a given point in time, there will never be any issues with
+          having to adjust to any sort of arbitrary time boundary.  In
+          the example provided, I even define the starting schedule
+          as crossing both a year and a month boundary, but the run times
+          would be based on the "Repeat" value and would therefore happen
+          weekly as desired.
+
+
+          Schedule {
+              Name = "Week 1 Rotation"
+              #Saturday.  Would run Dec 30, Jan 20, Feb 10, etc.

+   Origin: Bastian Friedrich <bastian.friedrich@collax.com>
+   Date:  2008-07-09
+   Status: -
 
-  What:  The "stat clients" command doesn't include any detail on when
-          the active backup jobs were launched.
+   What:  SD has a "Maximum Volume Size" statement, which is deprecated and
+           superseded by the Pool resource statement "Maximum Volume Bytes".
+           It would be good if either statement could be used in Storage
+           resources.
 
-  Why:   Including the timestamp would make it much easier to decide whether
-          a job is running properly. 
+   Why:   Pools do not have to be restricted to a single storage type/device;
+           thus, it may be impossible to define Maximum Volume Bytes in the
+           Pool resource.  The old MaxVolSize statement is deprecated, as it
+           is SD side only.  I am using the same pool for different devices.
 
-  Notes: It may be helpful to have the output from "stat clients" formatted 
-          more like that from "stat dir" (and other commands), in a column
-          format. The per-client information that's currently shown (level,
-          client name, JobId, Volume, pool, device, Files, etc.) is good, but
-          somewhat hard to parse (both programmatically and visually), 
-          particularly when there are many active clients.
+   Notes: State of idea currently unknown.  Storage resources in the dir
+           config currently translate to very slim catalog entries; these
+           entries would require extensions to implement what is described
+           here.  Quite possibly, numerous other statements that are currently
+           available in Pool resources could be used in Storage resources too
+           quite well.
 
 
-Item 20: Cause daemons to use a specific IP address to source communications
- Origin: Bill Moran <wmoran@collaborativefusion.com>
- Date:   18 Dec 2006
- Status: Done in 3.0.2
- What:   Cause Bacula daemons (dir, fd, sd) to always use the ip address
-          specified in the [DIR|DF|SD]Addr directive as the source IP
-          for initiating communication.
- Why:    On complex networks, as well as extremely secure networks, it's
-          not unusual to have multiple possible routes through the network.
-          Often, each of these routes is secured by different policies
-          (effectively, firewalls allow or deny different traffic depending
-          on the source address)
-          Unfortunately, it can sometimes be difficult or impossible to
-          represent this in a system routing table, as the result is
-          excessive subnetting that quickly exhausts available IP space.
-          The best available workaround is to provide multiple IPs to
-          a single machine that are all on the same subnet.  In order
-          for this to work properly, applications must support the ability
-          to bind outgoing connections to a specified address, otherwise
-          the operating system will always choose the first IP that
-          matches the required route.
- Notes:  Many other programs support this.  For example, the following
-          can be configured in BIND:
-          query-source address 10.0.0.1;
-          transfer-source 10.0.0.2;
-          Which means queries from this server will always come from
-          10.0.0.1 and zone transfers will always originate from
-          10.0.0.2.

+  Origin: Michael Mohr, SAG  Mohr.External@infineon.com
+  Date:  22 February 2008
+  Origin: Alex Ehrlich (Alex.Ehrlich-at-mail.ee)
+  Date:  05 August 2008
+  Status:
 
-  What:  Create a Bacula ASCII SQL database independent format that permits
-          importing and exporting database catalog Job entities.
+  What: Make it possible to backup and restore Encypted Files from and to
+          Windows systems without the need to decrypt it by using the raw
+          encryption functions API (see:
+          http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa363783.aspx)
+          that is provided for that reason by Microsoft.
+          If a file ist encrypted could be examined by evaluating the 
+          FILE_ATTRIBUTE_ENCRYTED flag of the GetFileAttributes
+          function.
+          For each file backed up or restored by FD on Windows, check if
+          the file is encrypted; if so then use OpenEncryptedFileRaw,
+          ReadEncryptedFileRaw, WriteEncryptedFileRaw,
+          CloseEncryptedFileRaw instead of BackupRead and BackupWrite
+          API calls.
 
-  Why:   For achival, database clustering, tranfer to other databases
-          of any SQL engine.
+  Why:   Without the usage of this interface the fd-daemon running
+          under the system account can't read encypted Files because
+          the key needed for the decrytion is missed by them. As a result 
+          actually encrypted files are not backed up
+          by bacula and also no error is shown while missing these files.
 
-  Notes: Job selection should be by Job, time, Volume, Client, Pool and possibly
-          other criteria.
+   Notes: Using xxxEncryptedFileRaw API would allow to backup and
+           restore EFS-encrypted files without decrypting their data.
+           Note that such files cannot be restored "portably" (at least,
+           easily) but they would be restoreable to a different (or
+           reinstalled) Win32 machine; the restore would require setup
+           of a EFS recovery agent in advance, of course, and this shall
+           be clearly reflected in the documentation, but this is the
+           normal Windows SysAdmin's business.
+           When "portable" backup is requested the EFS-encrypted files
+           shall be clearly reported as errors.
+           See MSDN on the "Backup and Restore of Encrypted Files" topic:
+           http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa363783.aspx
+           Maybe the EFS support requires a new flag in the database for
+           each file, too?
+           Unfortunately, the implementation is not as straightforward as
+           1-to-1 replacement of BackupRead with ReadEncryptedFileRaw,
+           requiring some FD code rewrite to work with
+           encrypted-file-related callback functions.

+Why:    Sometimes we have more then one system which requires backup
+        implementation.  Often, these systems are functionally unrelated and
+        placed in different locations.  Having a big backup device (a tape
+        library) in each location is not cost-effective.  It would be much
+        better to have one powerful enough tape library which could handle
+        backups from all systems, assuming relatively fast and reliable WAN
+        connections.  In such architecture backups are done in service windows
+        on local bacula servers, then migrated to central storage off the peak
+        hours.
 
-  What:  respect the "Maximum Concurrent Jobs" directive in the _drives_
-          Storage section in addition to the changer section
+Notes:  If migration to different SD is working, migration to the same SD, as
+        now, could be done the same way (i mean 'localhost') to unify the
+        whole process
 
-  Why:   I have a 3 drive changer where I want to be able to let 3 concurrent
-          jobs run in parallel. But only one job per drive at the same time.

+Item 19. Allow FD to initiate a backup
+Origin:  Frank Volf (frank at deze dot org)
+Date:    17 November 2005
+Status: 
 
-  Notes: Using different priorities for these jobs lead to problems that other
-          jobs are blocked. On the user list I got the advice to use the
-          "Prefer Mounted Volumes" directive, but Kern advised against using
-          "Prefer Mounted Volumes" in an other thread:
-          http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.sysutils.backup.bacula.devel/11876/
+What:  Provide some means, possibly by a restricted console that
+       allows a FD to initiate a backup, and that uses the connection
+       established by the FD to the Director for the backup so that
+       a Director that is firewalled can do the backup.
+Why:   Makes backup of laptops much easier.
+Notes: - The FD already has code for the monitor interface
+       - It could be nice to have a .job command that lists authorized
+         jobs.
+       - Commands need to be restricted on the Director side
+         (for example by re-using the runscript flag) 
+       - The Client resource can be used to authorize the connection
+       - In a first time, the client can't modify job parameters
+       - We need a way to run a status command to follow job progression
+
+      This project consists of the following points
+       1. Modify the FD to have a "mini-console" interface that
+          permits it to connect to the Director and start a
+          backup job of itself.
+       2. The list of jobs that can be started by the FD are
+          defined in the Director (possibly via a restricted
+          console).
+       3. Modify the existing tray monitor code in the Win32 FD
+          so that it is a separate program from the FD.
+       4. The tray monitor program should be extended to permit
+          initiating a backup.
+       5. No new Director directives should be added without
+          prior consultation with the Bacula developers.
+       6. The comm line used by the FD to connect to the Director
+          should be re-used by the Director to do the backup.
+          This feature is partially implemented in the Director.
+       7. The FD may have a new directive that allows it to start
+          a backup when the FD starts.
+       8. The console interface to the FD should be extended to
+          permit a properly authorized console to initiate a
+          backup via the FD.

+Item 20: Implement Storage daemon compression

+  Origin: Vadim A. Umanski , e-mail umanski@ext.ru
+  Status:
+  What:  The ability to compress backup data on the SD receiving data
+          instead of doing that on client sending data.
+  Why:   The need is practical. I've got some machines that can send
+          data to the network 4 or 5 times faster than compressing
+          them (I've measured that). They're using fast enough SCSI/FC
+          disk subsystems but rather slow CPUs (ex. UltraSPARC II).
+          And the backup server has got a quite fast CPUs (ex. Dual P4
+          Xeons) and quite a low load. When you have 20, 50 or 100 GB
+          of raw data - running a job 4 to 5 times faster - that
+          really matters. On the other hand, the data can be
+          compressed 50% or better - so losing twice more space for
+          disk backup is not good at all. And the network is all mine
+          (I have a dedicated management/provisioning network) and I
+          can get as high bandwidth as I need - 100Mbps, 1000Mbps...
+          That's why the server-side compression feature is needed!
+  Notes:
 
-          In addition I'm not sure if this would be the same as respecting the
-          drive's "Maximum Concurrent Jobs" setting.

-          keep on trying to run new jobs using that drive and fail -

-Item 31: List InChanger flag when doing restore.
- Origin: Jesper Krogh<jesper@krogh.cc>
-   Date: 17 Oct 2008
- Status: Done in version 3.0.2

-   What: When doing a restore the restore selection dialog ends by telling
-         stuff like this:
-  The job will require the following
-   Volume(s)                 Storage(s)                SD Device(s)

-   When having an autochanger, it would be really nice with an inChanger 
-   column so the operator knew if this restore job would stop waiting for 
-   operator intervention. This is done just by selecting the inChanger flag 
-   from the catalog and printing it in a seperate column.
-
-
-   Why:   This would help getting large restores through minimizing the 
-      time spent waiting for operator to drop by and change tapes in the library.
-
-  Notes: [Kern] I think it would also be good to have the Slot as well,
-      or some indication that Bacula thinks the volume is in the autochanger
-      because it depends on both the InChanger flag and the Slot being
-      valid.

+  What:  I want the file daemon to start multiple threads for a backup
+          job so the fastest possible backup can be made.
 
-Item 32: Ability to defer Batch Insert to a later time
-   Date: 26 April 2009
- Origin: Eric
- Status: 
+          The file daemon could parse the FileSet information and start
+          one thread for each File entry located on a separate
+          filesystem.
 
-  What:  Instead of doing a Job Batch Insert at the end of the Job
-          which might create resource contention with lots of Job,
-          defer the insert to a later time.
+          A confiuration option in the job section should be used to
+          enable or disable this feature. The confgutration option could
+          specify the maximum number of threads in the file daemon.
 
-  Why:   Permits to focus on getting the data on the Volume and
-          putting the metadata into the Catalog outside the backup
-          window.
+          If the theads could spool the data to separate spool files
+          the restore process will not be much slower.
 
-  Notes: Will use the proposed Bacula ASCII database import/export
-          format (i.e. dependent on the import/export entities project).
+  Why:   Multiple concurrent backups of a large fileserver with many
+          disks and controllers will be much faster.
 
+  Notes: (KES) This is not necessary and could be accomplished
+         by having two jobs.  In addition, the current VSS code
+         is single thread.
 
-Item 33: Add MaxVolumeSize/MaxVolumeBytes statement to Storage resource
-   Origin: Bastian Friedrich <bastian.friedrich@collax.com>
-   Date:  2008-07-09
-   Status: -
 
-   What:  SD has a "Maximum Volume Size" statement, which is deprecated and
-           superseded by the Pool resource statement "Maximum Volume Bytes".
-           It would be good if either statement could be used in Storage
-           resources.
+Item 29: Automatic disabling of devices
+   Date: 2005-11-11
+  Origin: Peter Eriksson <peter at ifm.liu dot se>
+  Status:
 
-   Why:   Pools do not have to be restricted to a single storage type/device;
-           thus, it may be impossible to define Maximum Volume Bytes in the
-           Pool resource.  The old MaxVolSize statement is deprecated, as it
-           is SD side only.  I am using the same pool for different devices.
+   What: After a configurable amount of fatal errors with a tape drive
+          Bacula should automatically disable further use of a certain
+          tape drive. There should also be "disable"/"enable" commands in
+          the "bconsole" tool.
 
-   Notes: State of idea currently unknown.  Storage resources in the dir
-           config currently translate to very slim catalog entries; these
-           entries would require extensions to implement what is described
-           here.  Quite possibly, numerous other statements that are currently
-           available in Pool resources could be used in Storage resources too
-           quite well.
+   Why:  On a multi-drive jukebox there is a possibility of tape drives
+          going bad during large backups (needing a cleaning tape run,
+          tapes getting stuck). It would be advantageous if Bacula would
+          automatically disable further use of a problematic tape drive
+          after a configurable amount of errors has occurred.
+
+          An example: I have a multi-drive jukebox (6 drives, 380+ slots)
+          where tapes occasionally get stuck inside the drive. Bacula will
+          notice that the "mtx-changer" command will fail and then fail
+          any backup jobs trying to use that drive. However, it will still
+          keep on trying to run new jobs using that drive and fail -
+          forever, and thus failing lots and lots of jobs... Since we have
+          many drives Bacula could have just automatically disabled
+          further use of that drive and used one of the other ones
+          instead.

-Item 38: Backup and Restore of Windows Encrypted Files using Win raw encryption
-  Origin: Michael Mohr, SAG  Mohr.External@infineon.com
-  Date:  22 February 2008
-  Origin: Alex Ehrlich (Alex.Ehrlich-at-mail.ee)
-  Date:  05 August 2008
-  Status:
-
-  What: Make it possible to backup and restore Encypted Files from and to
-          Windows systems without the need to decrypt it by using the raw
-          encryption functions API (see:
-          http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa363783.aspx)
-          that is provided for that reason by Microsoft.
-          If a file ist encrypted could be examined by evaluating the 
-          FILE_ATTRIBUTE_ENCRYTED flag of the GetFileAttributes
-          function.
-          For each file backed up or restored by FD on Windows, check if
-          the file is encrypted; if so then use OpenEncryptedFileRaw,
-          ReadEncryptedFileRaw, WriteEncryptedFileRaw,
-          CloseEncryptedFileRaw instead of BackupRead and BackupWrite
-          API calls.
-
-  Why:   Without the usage of this interface the fd-daemon running
-          under the system account can't read encypted Files because
-          the key needed for the decrytion is missed by them. As a result 
-          actually encrypted files are not backed up
-          by bacula and also no error is shown while missing these files.
-
-   Notes: Using xxxEncryptedFileRaw API would allow to backup and
-           restore EFS-encrypted files without decrypting their data.
-           Note that such files cannot be restored "portably" (at least,
-           easily) but they would be restoreable to a different (or
-           reinstalled) Win32 machine; the restore would require setup
-           of a EFS recovery agent in advance, of course, and this shall
-           be clearly reflected in the documentation, but this is the
-           normal Windows SysAdmin's business.
-           When "portable" backup is requested the EFS-encrypted files
-           shall be clearly reported as errors.
-           See MSDN on the "Backup and Restore of Encrypted Files" topic:
-           http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa363783.aspx
-           Maybe the EFS support requires a new flag in the database for
-           each file, too?
-           Unfortunately, the implementation is not as straightforward as
-           1-to-1 replacement of BackupRead with ReadEncryptedFileRaw,
-           requiring some FD code rewrite to work with
-           encrypted-file-related callback functions.

-Item 39: Implement an interface between Bacula and Storage clould like Amazon's S3.
-  Date:  25 August 2008
-  Origin: Soren Hansen <soren@ubuntu.com>
-  Status: Not started.
-  What:  Enable the storage daemon to store backup data on Amazon's
-          S3 service.
-
-  Why:   Amazon's S3 is a cheap way to store data off-site. 
-
-  Notes: If we configure the Pool to put only one job per volume (they don't
-         support append operation), and the volume size isn't to big (100MB?),
-         it should be easy to adapt the disk-changer script to add get/put
-         procedure with curl. So, the data would be safetly copied during the
-         Job. 
-
-         Cloud should be only used with Copy jobs, users should always have
-         a copy of their data on their site.
-
-         We should also think to have our own cache, trying always to have
-         cloud volume on the local disk. (I don't know if users want to store
-         100GB on cloud, so it shouldn't be a disk size problem). For example,
-         if bacula want to recycle a volume, it will start by downloading the
-         file to truncate it few seconds later, if we can avoid that...

-Item 1:   Relabel disk volume after recycling
-  Origin: Pasi Kärkkäinen <pasik@iki.fi>
-  Date:   07 May 2009.
-  Status: Not implemented yet, no code written.
-
-  What: The ability to relabel the disk volume (and thus rename the file on the
-        disk) after it has been recycled. Useful when you have a single job
-        per disk volume, and you use a custom Label format, for example:
-        Label Format =
-        "${Client}-${Level}-${NumVols:p/4/0/r}-${Year}_${Month}_${Day}-${Hour}_${Minute}"
 
-  Why: Disk volumes in Bacula get the label/filename when they are used for the
-       first time.  If you use recycling and custom label format like above,
-       the disk volume name doesn't match the contents after it has been
-       recycled.  This feature makes it possible to keep the label/filename
-       in sync with the content and thus makes it easy to check/monitor the
-       backups from the shell and/or normal file management tools, because
-       the filenames of the disk volumes match the content.
 
-  Notes:  The configuration option could be "Relabel after Recycling = Yes".

-        placed in different locations.  Having a big backup device (a tape

+Item 36: Extend the verify code to make it possible to verify

+  Date:   10 April 2009
+  Origin: Ralf Gross (Ralf-Lists <at> ralfgross.de)
+  Status: not implemented or documented
+
+  What:   At the moment a VolumeToCatalog job compares only the
+          last job with the data in the catalog. It's not possible
+          to compare the data (md5sums) of an older volume with the
+          data in the catalog.
+
+  Why:    If a verify job fails, one has to immediately check the
+          source of the problem, fix it and rerun the verify job.
+          This has to happen before the next backup of the
+          verified backup job starts.
+          More important: It's not possible to check jobs that are
+          kept for a long time (archiv). If a jobid could be

+          checked on a regular base.

+  Status: not implemented or documented
+
+  What:   Separate "Storage" and "Device" in the bacula-dir.conf
+          The resulting config would looks something like:
+
+          Storage {
+            Name = name_of_server
+            Address = hostname/IP address
+            SDPort = 9103
+            Password = shh_its_a_secret
+            Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 7
+          }
+
+          Device {
+            Name = name_of_device
+            Storage = name_of_server
+            Device = name_of_device_on_sd
+            Media Type = media_type
+            Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 1
+          }
+
+          Maximum Concurrent Jobs would be specified with a server and a device
+          maximum, which would both be honoured by the director. Almost everything
+          that mentions a 'Storage' would need to be changed to 'Device', although
+          perhaps a 'Storage' would just be a synonym for 'Device' for backwards
+          compatibility...
+
+  Why:    If you have multiple Storage definitions pointing to different
+          Devices in the same Storage daemon, the "status storage" command
+          prompts for each different device, but they all give the same 
+          information.

+Date:    12 October 2009
+Origin:  Thomas Carter <tcarter@memc.com>
+Status:  Proposal
+
+What: A better tape drive selection algorithm for multi-drive 
+      autochangers. The AUTOCHANGER class contains an array list of tape 
+      devices. When a tape drive is needed, this list is always searched in 
+      order. This causes lower number drives (specifically drive 0) to do a 
+      majority of the work with higher numbered drives possibly never being 
+      used. When a drive in an autochanger is reserved for use, its entry should 
+      be moved to the end of the list; this would give a rough LRU drive 
+      selection.
+
+Why:  The current implementation places a majority of use and wear on drive 
+      0 of a multi-drive autochanger.

+         file to truncate it few seconds later, if we can avoid that...

+Item 40: Convert tray monitor on Windows to a stand alone program
+   Date: 26 April 2009
+ Origin: Kern/Eric
+ Status: 
+
+  What:  Separate Win32 tray monitor to be a separate program.
+
+  Why:   Vista does not allow SYSTEM services to interact with the 
+          desktop, so the current tray monitor does not work on Vista
+          machines.  
+
+  Notes: Requires communicating with the FD via the network (simulate
+          a console connection).
+
+Item 41: Improve Bacula's tape and drive usage and cleaning management 
+  Date:  8 November 2005, November 11, 2005
+  Origin: Adam Thornton <athornton at sinenomine dot net>,
+          Arno Lehmann <al at its-lehmann dot de>
+  Status:
+
+  What:  
+          1. Measure tape and drive usage (mostly implemented)
+          2. Retiring a volume when too old or too many errors
+          3. Handle cleaning and tape alerts.
+
+  Why:   Needed
+
+
+Item 42: Relabel disk volume after recycling
+  Origin: Pasi Kärkkäinen <pasik@iki.fi>
+  Date:   07 May 2009.
+  Status: Not implemented yet, no code written.
+
+  What: The ability to relabel the disk volume (and thus rename the file on the
+        disk) after it has been recycled. Useful when you have a single job
+        per disk volume, and you use a custom Label format, for example:
+        Label Format =
+        "${Client}-${Level}-${NumVols:p/4/0/r}-${Year}_${Month}_${Day}-${Hour}_${Minute}"
+
+  Why: Disk volumes in Bacula get the label/filename when they are used for the
+       first time.  If you use recycling and custom label format like above,
+       the disk volume name doesn't match the contents after it has been
+       recycled.  This feature makes it possible to keep the label/filename
+       in sync with the content and thus makes it easy to check/monitor the
+       backups from the shell and/or normal file management tools, because
+       the filenames of the disk volumes match the content.
+
+  Notes:  The configuration option could be "Relabel after Recycling = Yes".
