Kern's ToDo List
- 20 July 2005
+ 23 July 2005
Major development:
Project Developer
1. Fix bugs
- --without-openssl breaks at least on Solaris.
3. Document all the new features (about half done).
- - VSS. Shall I write "Include Writer 'WMI Writer", "MSDEWriter"
- Let me explain this: An windows application can (no must)
- register as VSS writer. This means that the applications opts to
- be notified if a backup (or restore) occurs. If it then gets
- this message, it will immediately store a consistent state to
- disk. Examples for these writers are "MSDE" (Microsoft database
- engine), "Event Log Writer", "Registry Writer" plus 3rd
- party-writers. If you have a non-vss aware application (e.g.
- SQL Anywhere or probably MySQL), a shadow copy is still generated
- and the open files can be backed up, but there is no guarantee
- that the file is consistent.
-
- At least the Microsoft example makes a significant effort to
- determine which writers may be involved when a drive or file is
- to be shadow copied. Of course, every single writer may fail....
- So they offer a user interface to explicitly include or exclude a
- writer when creating a VSS shadow copy. I personally would not
- like to bother the user with this - at least not right now
- (efforts for exchanging lists between fd and director + efforts
- for selecting, etc.).
-
- But I personally would like to have an information message about
- the individual writers involved in the backup-process ("vssadmin
- list writers" produced 4 entries on my xp-client and 7 on my w2k3
- server, please try this on your machine to understand the system
- a little bit better).
-
- - Multiple drive autochanger support
- - Support for ANSI/IBM labels.
- - 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.
- 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.
- SQLite3 support, but it seems to run at 1/2 to 1/4 the speed of
SQLite2.
- - 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:
- - 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 = <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.
+ - A pile of new Directives to support TLS. Please see the TLS chapter
+ of the manual.
+
+ - "python restart" restarts the Python interpreter. Rather brutal, make
+ sure no Python scripts are running. This permits you to change
+ a Python script and ge
+ - With Python 2.3, there are a few compiler warnings.
+ - You must add --with-openssl to the configure command line if
+ you want TLS communications encryption support.
+7. Write a bacula-web document
+9. Run the regression scripts on Solaris and FreeBSD
+- Figure out how to package gui, and rescue programs.
+- Test TLS.
+
+Document:
+- Document cleaning up the spool files:
+ db, pid, state, bsr, mail, conmsg, spool
+- Document the multiple-drive-changer.txt script.
+- Pruning with Admin job.
+========= probably not in 1.38 =============
- MaximumPartSize = bytes (SD, Device resource)
Defines the maximum part size.
- Requires Mount = Yes/No (SD, Device resource)
- 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.
