+2003-01-04 Version 1.28 released
General:
- Implemented Bare Metal Recovery for Linux and manual procedures for Solaris
- Now using only a single technotes file kes-1.28 and will add to
tape drivers.
Changes submitted this submission:
+04Jan03
+- Add cygreadline5.dll to Win32 release -- needed for console
03Jan03
- Add scripts make_catalog_backup and delete_catalog_backup that makes and
deletes an ASCII copy of the catalog for backup. An example of how
Release Notes for Bacula 1.28
- Bacula code: Total files = 226 Total lines = 61,863 (*.h *.c *.in)
+ Bacula code: Total files = 228 Total lines = 62,042 (*.h *.c *.in)
Major Changes this Release:
- Bare Metal Recovery mostly automated for Linux systems and
- Schedule permits specification of 1st, 2nd, ... week e.g.
1st Sun ...
-Minor Changes this Release:
+Other Changes this Release:
- 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.
+- 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).
- 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.
- 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).
+- New bidirectional timed pipe mechanism for running child processes
+ permits better error messages.
+- Removed last restrictions on filename length for catalog items. Previous
+ maximum was 500 chars for path and 500 chars for filename. Now unlimited.
+- Improvements all over the code to prevent string overflows and to ensure
+ that copied strings are properly terminated.
+- Improved handling of 64 bit integers especially concerning the DB.
+- Database now contains accurate tape file/block positions, and many other
+ DB items are more correctly handled.
+- Improved bootstrap record generation (more detail).
Items to note:
- Nothing in particular.
Kern's ToDo List
- 01 January 2003
+ 04 January 2003
Documentation to do: (a little bit at a time)
- Document running a test version.
-- Make sure restore options are documented
- Document query file format.
- Document static linking
-- Document nofollow flag
Testing to do: (painful)
- that console command line options work
- Figure out how to allow multiple simultaneous file Volumes on
a single device.
- Why are save/restore of device different sizes (sparse?)
-- Backup of raw partitions
+- Make sure differential handled correctly
For 1.29 release:
+- Cancel does not work for restore in FD.
+- Restore to a particular time -- e.g. before date, after date.
- Implement SHA1
- Implement disk spooling
- Implement finer multiprocessing options.
- Solaris -I on tar for include list
-- Add whereln to where or not where absolute links
+- Add whereabslinks to where or not where absolute links
- Figure out some way to automatically backup all local partitions
- Enable avoid backing up archive device (findlib/find_one.c:128)
- Implement FileOptions (see end of this document)
- Make hash table for linked files in findlib/find_one.c:161
- Make bcopy read through bad tape records.
- Need a verbose mode in restore, perhaps to bsr.
-- Should we dump a SOS when starting a new tape?
- bscan without -v is too quiet -- perhaps show jobs.
- Add code to reject whole blocks if not wanted on restore.
- Implement multiple simultaneous file Volumes on a single device.
- Restore program that errors in SD due to no tape reports
OK incorrectly in output.
- After unmount, if restore job started, ask to mount.
-- Fix db_get_fileset in cats/sql_get.c for multiple records.
-- Fix catalog filename truncation in sql_get and sql_create. Use
- only a single filename split routine.
- Make Restore report an error if FD or SD term codes are not OK.
- Convert all %x substitution variables, which are hard to remember
and read to %(variable-name). Idea from TMDA.
- Add JobLevel in FD status (but make sure it is defined).
- Make Pool resource handle Counter resources.
- Remove NextId for SQLite. Optimize.
-- Fix gethostbyname() to use gethostbyname_r()
- Strip trailing / from Include
- Move all SQL statements into a single location.
- Cleanup db_update_media and db_update_pool
- Add Client FS/OS id (Linux, Win95/98, ...).
- Test a second language e.g. french.
- Compare tape to Client files (attributes, or attributes and data)
-- Restore to a particular time -- e.g. before date, after date.
- Make all database Ids 64 bit.
- Write an applet for Linux.
- Add estimate to Console commands
- Fix Win2000 error with no messages during startup.
- Events : tape has more than xxx bytes.
- Restrict characters permitted in a Resource name.
-- Complete code in Bacula Resources -- this will permit
+- Complete code in Bacula Resources -- this will permit
reading a new config file at any time.
- Handle ctl-c in Console
- Implement LabelTemplate (at least first cut).
- Implement script driven addition of File daemon to config files.
- Think about how to make Bacula work better with File (non-tape) archives.
-- see setgroup and user for Bacula p4-5 of stunnel.c
- Implement new serialize subroutines
send(socket, "string", &Vol, "uint32", &i, NULL)
- Audit all UA commands to ensure that we always prompt where possible.
- Make database type selectable by .conf files i.e. at runtime
- gethostbyname failure in bnet_connect() continues
generating errors -- should stop.
-- Add HOST to Volume label.
- Set flag for uname -a. Add to Volume label.
- Implement throttled work queue.
- Check for EOT at ENOSPC or EIO or ENXIO (unix Pc)
- Make bcopy copy with a single tape drive.
- Permit changing ownership during restore.
-- Restore should get Device and Pool information from
- job record rather than from config.
- Autolabel should be specified by DIR instead of SD.
- Find out how to get the system tape block limits, e.g.:
Apr 22 21:22:10 polymatou kernel: st1: Block limits 1 - 245760 bytes.
=====
- FD sends unsaved file list to Director at end of job (see
RFC below).
+- File daemon should build list of files skipped, and then
+ at end of save retry and report any errors.
- Write a Storage daemon that uses pipes and
standard Unix programs to write to the tape.
See afbackup.
if tape is not valid.
- Verify from Volume
- Ensure that /dev/null works
-- File daemon should build list of files skipped, and then
- at end of save retry and report any errors.
- Need report class for messages. Perhaps
report resource where report=group of messages
- enhance scan_attrib and rename scan_jobtype, and
fill in code for "since" option
-- Need to save contents of FileSet to tape?
- Director needs a time after which the report status is sent
anyway -- or better yet, a retry time for the job.
Don't reschedule a job if previous incarnation is still running.
-- Figure out how to save the catalog (possibly a special FileSet).
-- Figure out how to restore the catalog.
- Some way to automatically backup everything is needed????
- Need a structure for pending actions:
- buffered messages
last update 27 November 2002
Item 1: Multiple simultaneous Jobs. (done)
-Done
+Done -- Restore part needs better implementation to work correctly
What: Permit multiple simultaneous jobs in Bacula.
- Implement ./configure --with-client-only
- Finish up static linking
- that restore options work in FD
+- Backup of raw partitions
+- Document nofollow flag
+- Make sure restore options are documented
+- Should we dump a SOS when starting a new tape? (no -- too complicated)
+- Fix gethostbyname() to use gethostbyname_r() -- no added mutex
+- Add HOST to Volume label.
+- Need to save contents of FileSet to tape? -- no not now
+- Fix db_get_fileset in cats/sql_get.c for multiple records.
+- Fix catalog filename truncation in sql_get and sql_create. Use
+ only a single filename split routine.
+- Figure out how to save the catalog (possibly a special FileSet).
+- Figure out how to restore the catalog.
