+I regret to announce that there is a rather serious bug in Bacula.
+
+Bacula bug #935 reports that during a restore, a large number of files are
+missing and thus not restored. This is really quite surprising because we
+have a fairly extensive regression test suite that explicitly tests for this
+kind of problem many times.
+
+Despite our testing, there is indeed a bug in Bacula that has the following
+characteristics:
+
+1. It happens only when multiple simultaneous Jobs are run (regardless of
+whether or not data spooling is enabled), and happens only when the
+Storage daemon is changing from one Volume to another -- i.e. the
+backups span multiple volumes, and it only happens for Jobs writing
+to the same volume.
+
+2. It has only been observed on disk based backup, but not on tape.
+
+3. Under the right circumstances (timing), it could and probably does happen
+on tape backups.
+
+4. It seems to be timing dependent, and requires multiple clients to
+reproduce, although under the right circumstances, it should be reproducible
+with a single client doing multiple simultaneous backups.
+
+5. Analysis indicates that it happens most often when the clients are slow
+(e.g. doing Incremental backups).
+
+6. It has been verified to exist in versions 2.0.x and 2.2.x.
+
+7. It should also be in version 1.38, but could not be reproduced in testing,
+perhaps due to timing considerations or the fact that the test FD daemons
+were version 2.2.2.
+
+8. The data is correctly stored on the Volume, but incorrect index (JobMedia)
+records are stored in the database. (the JobMedia record generated during
+the Volume change contains the index of the new Volume rather than the
+previous Volume). This will be described in more detail below.
+
+9. You can prevent the problem from occurring by either turning off multiple
+simultaneous Jobs or by ensuring that while running multiple simultaneous
+Jobs that those Jobs do not span Volumes. E.g. you could manually mark
+Volumes as full when they are sufficiently large.
+
+10. If you are not running multiple simultaneous Jobs, you will not be
+affected by this bug.
+
+11. If you are running multiple simultaneous Jobs to tapes, I believe there is
+a reasonable probability that this problem could show up when Jobs are split
+across tapes.
+
+12. If you are running multiple simultaneous Jobs to disks, I believe there is
+a high probability that this problem will show up when Jobs are split across
+disks Volumes.
+
+13. The bug concerns only the Storage daemon so there is no need to update
+the clients, though I do recommend updating the Director when installing
+an updated Storage daemon.
+
+I have uploaded patches to bug #935 (bugs.bacula.org) that will correct
+version 2.2.0, 2.2.1, and 2.2.2. The patch has been tested only on version
+2.2.2 and passes all regression tests as well as the specific test that
+reproduced the problem.
+
+The patch has now been confirmed to fix the problem reported, and Bacula
+version 2.2.3 has been released to Source Forge.
+
