+ Release Notes for Bacula 1.38.0
+
+ Bacula code: Total files = 420 Total lines = 138,440 (*.h *.c *.in)
+ 20,440 additional lines of code since version 1.36.3
+
+Major Changes:
+- Fixed out of order Volumes in restore.
+- Improved algorithm for reserving drives in multiple drive
+ autochangers. Autochange users MUST use the new Autochanger
+ resource in the Storage daemon.
+- There is a new database format that is not compatible
+ with previous databases. You must upgrade if converting
+ from 1.36.x. No changes from version 1.37.30.
+- The Director, Storage daemon, and File daemons are
+ Deamons are not compatible with prior versions.
+ All FDs must be upgraded at the same time.
+- Support for ANSI/IBM labels.
+- Faster database inserts due to combining the MD5/SHA1 into
+ the attributes record, eliminating one INSERT/file backed up.
+- Python Event support has been added. See below for
+ configuration and details. The implementation is somewhat minimal,
+ so the functionality is not complete. The Python interface
+ has not been extensively tested, so please consider it BETA.
+- DVD writing support, using parts, and some new directives in
+ the Device resource of the Storage configuration file thanks
+ to Nicolas Boichat. Please note that this code is still
+ BETA and should be carefully tested before using in
+ production.
+- 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.
+- You may clone a Job and thus write (almost) the same data
+ to multiple Volumes simultaneously (see below). Actually,
+ any Job may start any other Job with this mechanism, so it
+ also be used to group jobs.
+- 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.
+- New manual format with an index (thanks to Karl Cunningham).
+- New Web site format (thanks to Michael Scherer).
+- SQLite3 support.
+- Web-bacula, previously a separate project by Juan Luis Frances,
+ is now included in the Bacula GUI release. This is a management
+ level tool for reporting the state of Bacula jobs.
+- The code is now Internationalized so that it can be localized
+ in native languages. Thanks to Nicolas Boichat.
+
+New Directives:
+- 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 (backported to 1.36.3):
+ - 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.
+- MaximumPartSize = bytes (SD, Device resource)
+ Defines the maximum part size.
+- Requires Mount = Yes/No (SD, Device resource)
+ Defines if the device require to be mounted to be read, and if it
+ must be written in a special way. If it set, the following directives
+ must be defined in the same Device resource:
+ + Mount Point = directory
+ Directory where the device must be mounted.
+ + Mount Command = name-string
+ Command that must be executed to mount the device. Before the command
+ is executed, %a is replaced with the Archive Device, and %m with the
+ Mount Point.
+ + Unmount Command = name-string
+ Command that must be executed to unmount the device. Before the
+ command is executed, %a is replaced with the Archive Device, and
+ %m with the Mount Point.
+ + Write Part Command = name-string
+ Command that must be executed to write a part to the device. Before
+ the command is executed, %a is replaced with the Archive Device, %m
+ with the Mount Point, %n with the current part number (0-based),
+ and %v with the current part filename.
+ + Free Space Command = name-string
+ Command that must be executed to check how much free space is left
+ on the device. Before the command is executed, %a is replaced with
+ the Archive Device, %m with the Mount Point, %n with the current part
+ number (0-based), and %v with the current part filename.
+- 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.
+- A pile of new Directives to support TLS. Please see the TLS chapter
+ of the manual.
-Additional information is available from Landon at:
+New Commands:
+- "python restart" restarts the Python interpreter. Rather brutal, make
+ sure no Python scripts are running. This permits you to change
+ a Python script and get Bacula to use the new script.
+
+New configure options:
+- --with-libintl-prefix for defining alternate locations for
+ the NLS internationalization libraries. Not normally required.
+- --datadir for defining where the language files will be installed
+ required only if you do not want the default /usr/share.
+
+Items to note!!!
+- If you use an Autochanger, you MUST update your SD conf file
+ to use the new Autochanger resource. Otherwise, certain commands
+ such as "update slots" may not work.
+- You must add --with-python=[DIR] to the configure command line
+ if you want Python support. Python 2.2, 2.3 and 2.4 should be
+ automatically detected if in the standard place.
+- When linking with --with-python, there are a few warnings that
+ can be ignored.
+- You must either create a new catalog database or upgrade your
+ old database. After installation, run from your scripts
+ directory:
+
+ ./upgrade_bacula_tables
+
+ You can also find this script in the <bacula-source>/src/cats
+ directory.
+- The Director, Storage daemon, and File daemons are
+ Deamons are not compatible with prior versions.
+ All FDs must be upgraded at the same time.
+- You must add --with-openssl to the configure command line if
+ you want TLS communications encryption support.
+- Disk seeking during restores does not yet work correctly in
+ all cases, so it is turned off.
+- Note, with gcc (GCC) 4.0.1 20050727 (Red Hat 4.0.1-5) on an
+ AMD64 CPU running 64 bit CentOS4, there is a compiler bug that
+ generates bad code that causes Bacula to segment fault.
+ Typically you will see this in the Storage daemon first. The
+ solution is to compile Bacula ensuring that no optimization is
+ turned on (normally it is -O2).
+
+
+Other Items:
+- Security fixes for temp files created in mtx-changer, during
+ ./configure, and during making of Rescue disk.
+- A new script, dvd-handler, in the scripts directory,
+ which is designed to be used as parameters to Write Part Command and
+ Free Space Command. They need the dvd+rw-tools to be installed
+ (http://fy.chalmers.se/~appro/linux/DVD+RW/) AND, the growisofs
+ program must be patched using the
+ <bacula-source>/patches/dvd+rw-tools-5.21.4.10.8.bacula.patch
+ You must have Python installed to run the scripts.
+- Part files support: File volumes can now be split into multiple
+ files, called "parts".
+- For the details of the Python scripting support, please see the new
+ Python Scripting chapter in the manual.

-The Bacula Version 1.36.3 tar file is released to Source Forge.
-
- Release Notes for Bacula 1.36.3
-
- Bacula code: Total files = 398 Total lines = 118,000 (*.h *.c *.in)
-
-Major Changes to version 1.36.3:
-- Applied all fixes for bugs since version 1.36.2 (see below)
-- Use fseeko and ftello so that attributes can exceed 4 GB.
-- Thanks to Karl Cunningham's hard work and skilled Perl
- programming, the manual is now in LaTeX format
- and has an index!
-- Drop support of old style Include/Excludes (see below).
-
-New Directives in 1.36.3:
-- None, but see 1.36.2 additions below.
-
-New Commands:
-- None since 1.36.1
-
-Items to note for 1.36.3!!!
-- Drop support of old style Include/Excludes. Matt Howard has
- supplied a handy Perl program that will do a good job of
- converting your FileSets. It can be found in
- examples/conf/fileset_convert.pl
-- Dan has reminded us that the arguments for make_catalog_backup
- changed from 1.34.x to 1.36.1. The old arguments were typically
- "-U bacula". The new arguments are typically "bacula bacula",
- where the first is the database name, and the second is the
- user name.
-
-Patches applied:
-
-04Mar05 1.36.2-level.patch
- This patch should fix a problem with th %l editing in the
- client (FD) where it edited nothing. With this fix, it should
- edit "since".
-
-04Mar05 1.36.2-pool.patch
- This patch corrects a problem preventing multiple
- simultaneous jobs from different pools.
-
-09Mar05 1.36.2-win32-drive.patch
- This patch will prevent the Win32 FD from printing an error message
- when it attempts to restore the permissions for a drive (which Win32
- doesn't permit). The error is harmless in any case.
-
-15Mar05 1.36.2-netbsd.patch
- This patch corrects a compile problem because of no statfs()
- on NetBSD. The patch was submitted by kardel with bug 258.
-
-16Mar05 1.36.2-console.patch
- This patch causes the output directed to a file to be
- flushed after every line. This is a bit overkill, IMO, but
- a user complained about it.
-
-17Mar05 1.36.2-restore-speed.patch
- This patch will fix a subtle bug that was introduced in 1.36.2
- which causes Bacula to be very slow restoring a few files. This
- is because it reads completely to the end of the Volume rather
- than stopping when all the files on the Volume are loaded. The
- introduction of the bug was caused by a patch that fixed
- Bacula truncating tapes after a restore.
- Note that all source files will be rebuilt during the make.
-
-18Mar05 1.36.2-store.patch
- This patch fails a job if no Storage resource is specified and
- the job attempts to call the SD.
-
-18Mar05 1.36.2-reschedule.patch
- This patch should fix a Segfault bug when a job is rescheduled.
- The storage pointers were being released when they should not
- have been.
-
-24Mar05 1.36.2-wx-console-bugfixes.patch
- Major wx-console fixes (see src/wx-console/CHANGELOG for details).
-
-28Mar05 1.36.2-tray-monitor-memleak.patch
- This patch should fix memory leaks in tray-monitor.
-
-Kern;;;2005/02/28;;;12:00
-The Bacula Version 1.36.2 tar file is released to Source Forge.
-
-Release Notes for Bacula 1.36.2
-
- Bacula code: Total files = 398 Total lines = 117,915 (*.h *.c *.in)
-
-Major Changes to version 1.36.2:
-- Applied all fixes for bugs since version 1.36.1 (see below)
-- Added new directives from 1.37 code (see below).
-- Applied Tim's patch for ACLS.
-- Eight new options keywords in a FileSet resource:
- ignorecase, fstype, hfsplussupport, wilddir, wildfile, regexdir,
- and regexfile, hardlinks. See below for details.
-- Fix deadlock in multiple simultaneous jobs.
-- Fix tape "truncation"/"number of files" after restore bug.
-- Fix ClientRun jobs on Win32 to faile if the
- return code is not zero.
-
-New Directives in 1.36.2:
-- 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.
-- 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.
-
-New Commands:
-- None since 1.36.1
-
-Items to note for 1.36.2!!!
-- Dan has reminded us that the arguments for make_catalog_backup
- changed from 1.34.x to 1.36.1. The old arguments were typically
- "-U bacula". The new arguments are typically "bacula bacula",
- where the first is the database name, and the second is the
- user name.
-
-Patches applied:
-
-03Dec04 1.36.1-pool.patch
- This patch should hold jobs in the Director's start queue if
- more than one simultaneous backup job wants to use the same
- Storage device with two different Pools (i.e. 2 Volumes).
-
-03Dec04 1.16.1-slots.patch
- This patch should fix "update slots" with two different
- magazines in different pools by checking the pool when zapping
- the InChanger.
-
-18Dec04 1.36.1-spool.patch
- This patch fixes the despooling size printed in the Job
- report. Previously, it reported the total size for the
- device. This patch makes it report the size for the job.
-
-21Dec04 1.36.1-store.patch
- This patch fixes a problem with overriding storage daemon
- specifications. Previously they were not always honored.
- This implements more uniform handling. It also eliminates
- an orphaned buffer situation using JobDefs.
-
-21Dec04 1.36.1-reload.patch
- This patch fixes Bacula so that it does not exit if there
- is a syntax error in its conf file during a reload command.
-
-24Dec04 1.36.1-fileset.patch
- This patch should correct a seg fault in the FD that occurs
- at the end of a job when the job uses old style include/excludes.
- Old style include/excludes are deprecated and should be
- converted to the new style as soon as possible.
-
-30Jan05 1.36.1-acl.patch
- This patch fixes some typos with ACL checking that results
- in the incorrect name being used for the check.
- This fixes possible security problems with unwanted
- access by restricted consoles.
-
-15Feb05 1.36.1-truncate.patch
- This patch fixes a bug where a tape gets "truncated" after
- doing a restore. The number of files in the catalog do not
- agree with what Bacula thinks is on tape, then the tape is
- marked in error.

- Although one talks about Free Software, in fact, software such

+<?
- For example, since beginning work on the Bacula project in
- January 2000 until now (October 2005), I (Kern) have spent
- approximately $8000 per year for computers, tape drives,
- communications expenses, electricity, software licenses, and
- other expenses. I am not complaining and am pleased to have
- been able to afford these expenditures. In addition, have no
- desire to have them reimbursed.

- Bacula is now a fairly mature product, and to ensure its long
- term survival, I believe it should start to pay its own way.
- <p>
- As a consequence, it is now possible for you
- to contribute to the Bacula project.
- All funds collected will be used to help further the Bacula project
- by covering out of pocket expenses incurred by the project (no salaries).
- Examples are, hardware, software licenses (yes Micro$oft), and possibly
- a portion of travel/conference expenses.
- <p>
- The project actually has the following needs (approximate costs): <br>

+ may be free for the user, but it wasn't free for the developer
+ or developers, either in terms of time or in terms of financial
+ cost.
+
+ For example, since beginning work on the Bacula project in
+ January 2000 until now (October 2005), I (Kern) have spent
+ approximately $8000 per year for computers, tape drives,
+ communications expenses, electricity, software licenses, and
+ other expenses. I am not complaining and am pleased to have
+ been able to afford these expenditures. In addition, have no
+ desire to have them reimbursed.
+
+ Bacula is now a fairly mature product, and to ensure its long
+ term survival, I believe it should start to pay its own way.
+ <p>
+ As a consequence, it is now possible for you
+ to contribute to the Bacula project.
+ All funds collected will be used to help further the Bacula project
+ by covering out of pocket expenses incurred by the project (no salaries).
+ Examples are, hardware, software licenses (yes Micro$oft), and possibly
+ a portion of travel/conference expenses.

+ Origin: Sponsored by Riege Sofware International GmbH. Contact:
+ Daniel Holtkamp <holtkamp at riege dot com>
+ Status: Partially coded in 1.37 -- much more to do. Assigned to
+ Kern.
+
+ What: The ability to copy, move, or archive data that is on a
+ device to another device is very important.
+
+ Why: An ISP might want to backup to disk, but after 30 days
+ migrate the data to tape backup and delete it from
+ disk. Bacula should be able to handle this
+ automatically. It needs to know what was put where,
+ and when, and what to migrate -- it is a bit like
+ retention periods. Doing so would allow space to be
+ freed up for current backups while maintaining older
+ data on tape drives.

+ Number of Jobs
+ Number of Volumes

+
+\begin{description}
+\item [bacula-1.38.0.tar.gz]
+ This is the primary source code release for Bacula. On each
+ release the version number (1.38.0) will be updated.
+
+\item [bacula-docs-1.38.0.tar.gz]
+ This file contains a copy of the docs directory with the
+ documents prebuild. English html directory, single html
+ file, and pdf file. The French and German translations
+ are in progress, but are not built.
+
+\item [bacula-gui-1.38.0.tar.gz]
+ This file contains the non-core GUI programs. Currently,
+ it contains bacula-web, a PHP program for producing management
+ viewing of your Bacula job status in a browser; and bimagemgr
+ a browser program for burning CDROM images with Bacula Volumes.
+
+\item [bacula-rescue-1.8.1.tar.gz]
+ This is the Bacula Rescue CDROM code. Note, the version number
+ of this package is not tied to the Bacula release version, so
+ it will be different. Using this code, you can burn a CDROM
+ with your system configuration and containing a statically

and the version to which you are upgrading. If the Bacula catalog database has
been upgraded, you will either need to reinitialize your database starting
from scratch, or save an ASCII copy of your database, then proceed to upgrade
-it. If there are several database upgrades between your version and the
+it. This is normally done after Bacula is build and installed by:
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+cd <installed-scripts-dir> (default /etc/bacula)

+\end{verbatim}
+
+This update script can also be find in the Bacula source src/cats
+directory.
+
+If there are several database upgrades between your version and the
version to which you are upgrading, you will need to apply each database
upgrade script. For your convenience, you can find all the old upgrade scripts
in the {\bf upgradedb} directory of the source code. You will need to edit the
scripts to correspond to your system configuration. The final upgrade script,
-if any, will be in the {\bf src/cats} directory as described in the
-ReleaseNotes.

If you are upgrading from one major version to another, you will need to
replace all your components at the same time as generally the inter-daemon
Finally, please note that in general it is not necessary to do a
{\bf make uninstall} before doing an upgrade. In fact, if you do so, you will
most likely delete all your conf files, which could be disastrous.
+The normal procedure during an upgrade is simply {\bf make install}.
+In general none of your existing .conf or .sql files will be overwritten.

As of version 1.34, Bacula no longer uses CYGWIN for the Win32 File daemon.
-However, it is still built under a CYGWIN build environment -- though you can
-probably do it with VC Studio only. If you wish to build the Win32 File daemon
-from the source, you will need Microsoft C++ version 6.0 or greater. In Bacula
-prior to version 1.33, CYGWIN was used. Details for building it are in the
-README.win32 file of the src/win32 directory.

Note, although most parts of Bacula build on Windows systems, the only part
that we have tested and used is the File daemon.

-Since the File daemon does not access the Catalog database, you can remove the
