+A new {\bf Copy} job type has been implemented. It is similar
+to the existing Migration feature with the exception that
the Job that is copied is left unchanged. This essentially creates
-two identical copies of the same backup. The Copy Job runs without
+two identical copies of the same backup. However, the copy is treated
+as a copy rather than a backup job, and hence is not directly available for
+restore. The {\bf restore} command will be upgraded to list copy jobs and
+allow selection of copies if the keyword {\bf copies} is present on the
+command line. The restore feature is still under implementation.
+
+The Copy Job runs without
using the File daemon by copying the data from the old backup Volume to
a different Volume in a different Pool. See the Migration documentation
for additional details. For copy Jobs there is a new selection criterium
\index[general]{IgnoreDir}
The {\bf ExcludeDirsContaining = \lt{}filename\gt{}} is a new directive that can be added to the Include
section of the FileSet resource. If the specified
-filename is found on the Client in any directory to be backed up,
+filename ({\bf filename-string}) is found on the Client in any directory to be backed up,
the whole directory will be ignored (not backed up).
For example:

+Support for shared object plugins has been implemented in the Linux, Unix
+and Win32 File daemons. The API will be documented separately in
the Developer's Guide or in a new document. For the moment, there is
a single plugin named {\bf bpipe} that allows an external program to
get control to backup and restore a file.
Plugins are also planned (partially implemented) in the Director and the
-Storage daemon. The code is also implemented to work on Win32 machines,
-but it has not yet been tested.
+Storage daemon.
\subsection{Plugin Directory}
Each daemon (DIR, FD, SD) has a new {\bf Plugin Directory} directive that may
load any plugins. Since each plugin has a distinctive name, all the daemons
can share the same plugin directory.

\subsection{Plugin Options}
The {\bf Plugin Options} directive takes a quoted string
arguement (after the equal sign) and may be specified in the
\section{Microsoft Exchange Server 2003/2007 Plugin}
\subsection{Concepts}
-
Although it is possible to backup Exchange using Bacula VSS the Exchange
plugin adds a good deal of functionality, because while Bacula VSS
completes a full backup (snapshot) of Exchange, it does
can be simulated by use of the "Recovery" Storage Group (see below).
\subsection{Installing}
-
The Exchange plugin requires a DLL that is shipped with Microsoft
Exchanger Server called {\bf esebcli2.dll}. Assuming Exchange is installed
correctly the Exchange plugin should find this automatically and run
default Exchange installation.
\subsection{Backup up}
-
To back up an Exchange server the Fileset definition must contain at
least {\bf Plugin = "exchange:/@EXCHANGE/Microsoft Information Store"} for
the backup to work correctly. The 'exchange:' bit tells Bacula to look
replace it with "/@EXCHANGE/Microsoft Information Store/Recovery Storage Group/".
Then run the restore.
-\subsection{Caveats}
+\subsection{Restoring on Microsoft Server 2007}
+Apparently the {\bf Exmerge} program no longer exists in Microsoft Server 2007, and henc
+you use a new proceedure for recovering a single mail box.
+This procedure is ducomented by Microsoft at:
+\elink{http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa997694.aspx}{http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa997694.aspx},
+and involves using the {\bf Restore-Mailbox} and {\bf Get-MailboxStatistics} shell commands.
+\subsection{Caveats}
This plugin is still being developed, so you should consider it
currently in BETA test, and thus use in a production environment
should be done only after very careful testing.
You can download them and compile them on your system or install the packages
from your OS distribution.

-\section{Display Autochanger Content}
+\subsection{Display Autochanger Content}
\index[general]{StatusSlots}
The {\bf status slots storage=\lt{}storage-name\gt{}} command displays
{\bf update slots} command to synchronize autochanger content with your
catalog.
+\subsection{list joblog job=xxx or jobid=nnn}
+A new list command has been added that allows you to list the contents
+of the Job Log stored in the catalog for either a Job Name (fully qualified)
+or for a particular JobId. The {\bf llist} command will include a line with
+the time and date of the entry.
+
+Note for the catalog to have Job Log entries, you must have a directive
+such as:
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+ catalog = all
+\end{verbatim}
+
+In your Director's {\bf Messages} resource.

\section{Miscellaneous}
\index[general]{Misc New Features}
With this new command, Bacula will ask if you want to specify a Regex
expression for extracting only a part of the full backup.
+\subsection{Bootstrap File Optimization Changes}
+In order to permit proper seeking on disk files, we have extended the
+bootstrap file format to include a {\bf VolStartAddr} and {\bf VolEndAddr}
+records. Each takes a 64 bit unsigned integer range (i.e. nnn-mmm) which defines
+the start address range and end address range respectively. These two directives
+replace the {\bf VolStartFile}, {\bf VolEndFile}, {\bf VolStartBlock} and {\bf VolEndBlock}
+directives. Bootstrap files containing the old directives will still work, but will not
+properly take advantage of proper disk seeking, and may read completely to the end of a
+disk volume during a restore. With the new format (automatically generated by the new
+Director), restores will seek properly and stop reading the volume when all the files
+have been restored.
