data from one device to another.
Origin: Sponsored by Riege Sofware International GmbH. Contact:
Daniel Holtkamp <holtkamp at riege dot com>
+ Date: 28 October 2005
Status: Partially coded in 1.37 -- much more to do. Assigned to
Kern.

Lowwater mark
-Item 2: Implement a Bacula GUI/management tool using Python
+Item 2: Implement extraction of Win32 BackupWrite data.
+ Origin: Thorsten Engel <thorsten.engel at matrix-computer dot com>
+ Date: 28 October 2005
+ Status: Assigned to Thorsten. Implemented in current CVS
+
+ What: This provides the Bacula File daemon with code that
+ can pick apart the stream output that Microsoft writes
+ for BackupWrite data, and thus the data can be read
+ and restored on non-Win32 machines.
+
+ Why: BackupWrite data is the portable=no option in Win32
+ FileSets, and in previous Baculas, this data could
+ only be extracted using a Win32 FD. With this new code,
+ the Windows data can be extracted and restored on
+ any OS.
+
+
+Item 3: Implement a Bacula GUI/management tool using Python
and Qt.
Origin: Kern
+ Date: 28 October 2005
Status:
What: Implement a Bacula console, and management tools
Python, which will give many more users easy (or easier)
access to making additions or modifications.
-Item 3: Implement a Python interface to the Bacula catalog.
+Item 4: Implement a Python interface to the Bacula catalog.
+ Date: 28 October 2005
Origin: Kern
Status:
Why: This will permit users to customize Bacula through
Python scripts.
-Item 4: Implement more Python events in Bacula.
+Item 5: Implement more Python events in Bacula.

Status:
NeedVolume event
-Item 5: Implement Base jobs.
+Item 6: Implement Base jobs.
+ Date: 28 October 2005
Origin: Kern
Status:
FD a list of files/attribs, and the FD must search the
list and compare it for each file to be saved.
-Item 6: Add Plug-ins to the FileSet Include statements.
+Item 7: Add Plug-ins to the FileSet Include statements.
+ Date: 28 October 2005
Origin:
Status: Partially coded in 1.37 -- much more to do.
plug-in knows how to backup his Oracle database without
stopping/starting it, for example.
-Item 7: Implement huge exclude list support using hashing.
+Item 8: Implement huge exclude list support using hashing.
+ Date: 28 October 2005
Origin: Kern
Status:
backup set will be *much* smaller.
-Item 8: Implement data encryption (as opposed to communications
+Item 9: Implement data encryption (as opposed to communications
encryption)
+ Date: 28 October 2005
Origin: Sponsored by Landon and 13 contributors to EFF.
Status: Landon Fuller is currently implementing this.
Why: Large sites require this.
-Item 9: Permit multiple Media Types in an Autochanger
+Item 10: Permit multiple Media Types in an Autochanger
Origin:
Status:
Why: This will permit user with several different drive types
to make full use of their autochangers.
-Item 10: Allow two different autochanger definitions that refer
+Item 11: Allow two different autochanger definitions that refer
to the same autochanger.
+ Date: 28 October 2005
Origin: Kern
Status:
use. It would also permit implementation of multiple Media
Types with no changes to the Storage daemon.
-Item 11: Implement red/black binary tree routines.
