+ Bug Reporting
+ </td>
+</tr>
+<tr>
+ <td class="content">
+ Before reporting a bug, please be sure it is a bug and
+ not a request for support (see the Support tab to
+ the left).
+ <p>
+ Bacula now has a Mantis bug reporting system
+ implemented by Dan Langille and hosted on his computer. It is web based,
+ easy to use, and we recommend you give it a try. You can submit a bug
+ or review the list of open or closed bugs by visiting:
+
+<p style="text-align: center; font-size: 24px">
+ <a href="http://bugs.bacula.org">http://bugs.bacula.org</a>
+</p>
+
+To view the bug reports, you can login as user <b>anonymous</b> and
+password <b>anonymous</b>. The advantage of actually being subscribed
+is that you will be notified by email of any serious bugs and their
+resolution.
+
+To submit bug reports, you must create an account. You must also use a
+browser running a US ASCII code page or UTF-8. Some users running Win32
+IE with Windows Eastern European code pages have experienced problems
+interfacing with the system.
+
+<p>
+Most Bacula problems are questions of support, so if you are not
+sure if a problem you are having is a bug, see the support page
+on this site for links to the email lists. However, once you have
+determined that a problem is a bug, you must either submit a bug
+report to the bugs database or send an email to the bacula-devel
+list, otherwise it is possible that the developers will never know
+about your bug and thus it will not get fixed.
+
+You should expect two things to be slightly different in our Bugs
+handling than many other Open Source projects. First, we unfortunately
+cannot give support or handle feature requests via the bugs database,
+and second, we close bugs very quickly to avoid being overwhelmed.
+Please don't take this personally. If you want to add a note to the bug
+report after it is closed, you can do so by reopening the bug, adding a
+bug note, then closing the bug report again, or for really simple
+matters, you can send an email to the bacula-devel email list. If a
+developer closes a bug report and after everything considered, you are
+convinced there really *is* a bug and you have new information, you can
+always reopen the bug report.
+
+<h3>Information Needed in a Bug Report</h3>
+For us to respond to a bug report, we normally need the following
+as the minimum information, which you should enter into the appropriate
+fields of the bug reporting system:
+<ul>
+<li>Your operating system</li>
+<li>The version of Bacula you are using</li>
+<li>A <a href="http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/bugs.html">clear and concise</a> description of the problem</li>
+<li>If you say "it crashes", "it doesn't work" or something
+ similar, you should include some output from Bacula that shows this.</li>
+</ul>
+If you are having tape problems, please include:
+<ul>
+ <li>The kind of tape drive you have </li>
+ <li>Have you run the <b>btape</b> "test" command?</li>
+
+</ul>
+The first two of these items can be fulfilled by sending us a copy of
+your <b>config.out</b> file, which is in the main <b>Bacula</b> source
+directory after you have done your <b>./configure</b>.
+
+<p>In addition, we will sometimes need a copy of your Bacula
+configuration files (especially bacula-dir.conf). If you think it is a
+configuration problem, please don't hesitate to send them if
+necessary.</td>

+</tr>
+<tr>
+ <td class="content">
+
+In the past, users informally submitted feature requests by email, and
+I (Kern) collected them, then once a version was released, I would publish the
+list for users to vote on.
+<p>
+Now that Bacula has become a bigger project, this process has been
+formalized a bit more. The main change is for users
+to carefully think about their feature, and submit it on a feature
+request form. A mostly empty form is shown below along with an
+example of an actual filled in form. A text copy of the form can
+be found in the <b>projects</b> file in the main source directory
+of the Bacula release. That file also contains a list of all the
+currently approved projects and their status.
+<p>
+The best time to submit a Feature Request is just after a release when
+I officially request feature requests for the next version. The worst
+time to submit a feature request is just prior to a new release (we are
+very busy at that time). To actually submit the Feature request,
+fill out the form, and submit it to both the bacula-users and
+the bacula-devel email lists. It will then be openly discussed.
+<p>
+Once the Feature Request has beeen adequately discussed, I will
+either reject it, approve it, or possibly request some
+modifications. If you plan to implement the feature or donate
+funds to have it implemented, this is important to note,
+otherwise, the feature, even if approved, may wait a long time
+for someone to implement it.
+<p>
+Once the Feature request is approved, I'll add it to the projects
+file, which contains a list of all open Feature Requests. The projects
+file is updated from time to time
+<p>
+The current (though possibly somewhat old) list of projects can also
+be found on the Web site by clicking on the Projects menu item.
+
+
+<h3>Feature Request Form</h3>
+<pre>
+Item n: One line summary ...
+ Origin: Name and email of originator.
+ Date: Date submitted (e.g. 28 October 2005)
+ Status:
+
+ What: More detailed explanation ...
+
+ Why: Why it is important ...
+
+ Notes: Additional notes or features ...
+
+</pre>
+
+<h3>An Example Feature Request</h3>
+<pre>
+Item 1: Implement a Migration job type that will move the job
+ data from one device to another.
+ Date: 28 October 2005
+ 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.
+
+ Notes: Migration could be triggered by:
+ Number of Jobs
+ Number of Volumes
+ Age of Jobs
+ Highwater size (keep total size)
+ Lowwater mark

+ Contributing to the Bacula Project

+ <td class="content">
+ Although one talks about Free Software, in fact, Open Software such
+ as Bacula was not developed without some cost. The software
+ 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 (August 2006), I (Kern) have spent
+ approximately $8000 per year for computers, tape drives,
+ communications expenses, electricity, software licenses, and
+ other expenses. I am not complaining and am pleased to have
+ been able to afford these expenditures. In addition, have no
+ desire to have my past expenses reimbursed.
+
+ Bacula is now a fairly mature product, and to ensure its long
+ term survival, I believe it is time that Bacula begins to
+ stand on its own, both financially and for the development,
+ which is why we began accepting donations or project support
+ in November 2005.
+ <p>
+ There are ways you can contribute to the Bacula
+ project, some of which are: ideas, user support,
+ documentation review, translation, programming and
+ contributing code, testing the new releases, hosting
+ services, testing machines, donating needed equipment, and
+ financial support.
+
+ Previously all but the last one (financial support) were possible.
+ It is now possible for you to contribute financial aid
+ the Bacula project. All funds collected will be used to help
+ further the Bacula project by covering out of pocket expenses
+ incurred by the project (no salaries). Examples are, administrative
+ fees, hardware, software licenses (yes Micro$oft), and possibly a
+ portion of travel/conference expenses.
+
+ <p>
+ Contributions may not be US tax deductible as Bacula is
+ based in Switzerland.
+ <p>
+ If you are a government or for-profit corporation and cannot
+ make "donations", please consider paying a (non-obligatory)
+ binary license fee for any Bacula built binaries that you download.
+ By making these pre-built, pre-tested binaries available, we are
+ providing users who download them with an extra service, which merits
+ careful consideration for making a contribution or paying a
+ "license fee".
+ <p>
+ If you are a corporation and cannot make donations and don't want
+ to pay a binary license fee, you can request an invoice for
+ Bacula Project development. Please see below for how to do this.
+
+ <p>
+ To make a contribution, please click on the donate button at
+ the top of the screen, and your transaction will be secured
+ and confirmed directly by PayPal. If you contribute, or have
+ any questions, please send me an email directly: kern at
+ sibbald dot com.
+
+ <p>
+ If you need an invoice, I can send you one, but in order to limit my
+ administrative work, I kindly request you to make a donation of at least
+ $200 before requesting an invoice. To obtain one, simply email me the exact
+ name to appear on the invoice as well as the mailing address, the amount
+ you want to contribute, and the project you are supporting (or simply
+ Bacula development).
+
+ <p>
+ The Bacula web site has a "Donations Received" page where
+ you can have your company name, your name, and the amount (or any
+ combination of those) listed. You must explicitly request to be listed.
+ Do so by sending an email to: kern at sibbald dot com after you have
+ made the payment.
+
+ <p>Although there is one link to our ISP, who we thank for providing the
+ hosting service, we do not provide any links to other sites other than
+ on the Professional page.

+
+Item 1: Accurate restoration of renamed/deleted files
+ Date: 28 November 2005
+ Origin: Martin Simmons (martin at lispworks dot com)
+ Status: Robert Nelson will implement this
+
+ What: When restoring a fileset for a specified date (including "most
+ recent"), Bacula should give you exactly the files and directories
+ that existed at the time of the last backup prior to that date.
+
+ Currently this only works if the last backup was a Full backup.
+ When the last backup was Incremental/Differential, files and
+ directories that have been renamed or deleted since the last Full
+ backup are not currently restored correctly. Ditto for files with
+ extra/fewer hard links than at the time of the last Full backup.
+
+ Why: Incremental/Differential would be much more useful if this worked.
+
+ Notes: Merging of multiple backups into a single one seems to
+ rely on this working, otherwise the merged backups will not be
+ truly equivalent to a Full backup.
+
+ Kern: notes shortened. This can be done without the need for
+ inodes. It is essentially the same as the current Verify job,
+ but one additional database record must be written, which does
+ not need any database change.
+
+ Kern: see if we can correct restoration of directories if
+ replace=ifnewer is set. Currently, if the directory does not
+ exist, a "dummy" directory is created, then when all the files
+ are updated, the dummy directory is newer so the real values
+ are not updated.
+
+Item 2: Implement a Bacula GUI/management tool.
+ Origin: Kern
+ Date: 28 October 2005
+ Status: In progress
+
+ What: Implement a Bacula console, and management tools
+ probably using Qt3 and C++.
+
+ Why: Don't we already have a wxWidgets GUI? Yes, but
+ it is written in C++ and changes to the user interface
+ must be hand tailored using C++ code. By developing
+ the user interface using Qt designer, the interface
+ can be very easily updated and most of the new Python
+ code will be automatically created. The user interface
+ changes become very simple, and only the new features
+ must be implement. In addition, the code will be in
+ Python, which will give many more users easy (or easier)
+ access to making additions or modifications.
+
+ Notes: There is a partial Python-GTK implementation
+ Lucas Di Pentima <lucas at lunix dot com dot ar> but
+ it is no longer being developed.
+
+Item 3: Allow FD to initiate a backup
+ Origin: Frank Volf (frank at deze dot org)
+ Date: 17 November 2005
+ Status:
+
+ What: Provide some means, possibly by a restricted console that
+ allows a FD to initiate a backup, and that uses the connection
+ established by the FD to the Director for the backup so that
+ a Director that is firewalled can do the backup.
+
+ Why: Makes backup of laptops much easier.
+
+
+Item 4: Merge multiple backups (Synthetic Backup or Consolidation).
+ Origin: Marc Cousin and Eric Bollengier
+ Date: 15 November 2005
+ Status: Waiting implementation. Depends on first implementing
+ project Item 2 (Migration) which is now done.
+
+ What: A merged backup is a backup made without connecting to the Client.
+ It would be a Merge of existing backups into a single backup.
+ In effect, it is like a restore but to the backup medium.
+
+ For instance, say that last Sunday we made a full backup. Then
+ all week long, we created incremental backups, in order to do
+ them fast. Now comes Sunday again, and we need another full.
+ The merged backup makes it possible to do instead an incremental
+ backup (during the night for instance), and then create a merged
+ backup during the day, by using the full and incrementals from
+ the week. The merged backup will be exactly like a full made
+ Sunday night on the tape, but the production interruption on the
+ Client will be minimal, as the Client will only have to send
+ incrementals.
+
+ In fact, if it's done correctly, you could merge all the
+ Incrementals into single Incremental, or all the Incrementals
+ and the last Differential into a new Differential, or the Full,
+ last differential and all the Incrementals into a new Full
+ backup. And there is no need to involve the Client.
+
+ Why: The benefit is that :
+ - the Client just does an incremental ;
+ - the merged backup on tape is just as a single full backup,
+ and can be restored very fast.
+
+ This is also a way of reducing the backup data since the old
+ data can then be pruned (or not) from the catalog, possibly
+ allowing older volumes to be recycled
+
+Item 5: Deletion of Disk-Based Bacula Volumes
+ Date: Nov 25, 2005
+ Origin: Ross Boylan <RossBoylan at stanfordalumni dot org> (edited
+ by Kern)
+ Status:
+
+ What: Provide a way for Bacula to automatically remove Volumes
+ from the filesystem, or optionally to truncate them.
+ Obviously, the Volume must be pruned prior removal.
+
+ Why: This would allow users more control over their Volumes and
+ prevent disk based volumes from consuming too much space.
+
+ Notes: The following two directives might do the trick:
+
+ Volume Data Retention = <time period>
+ Remove Volume After = <time period>
+
+ The migration project should also remove a Volume that is
+ migrated. This might also work for tape Volumes.
+
+Item 6: Implement Base jobs.
+ Date: 28 October 2005
+ Origin: Kern
+ Status:
+
+ What: A base job is sort of like a Full save except that you
+ will want the FileSet to contain only files that are
+ unlikely to change in the future (i.e. a snapshot of
+ most of your system after installing it). After the
+ base job has been run, when you are doing a Full save,
+ you specify one or more Base jobs to be used. All
+ files that have been backed up in the Base job/jobs but
+ not modified will then be excluded from the backup.
+ During a restore, the Base jobs will be automatically
+ pulled in where necessary.
+
+ Why: This is something none of the competition does, as far as
+ we know (except perhaps BackupPC, which is a Perl program that
+ saves to disk only). It is big win for the user, it
+ makes Bacula stand out as offering a unique
+ optimization that immediately saves time and money.
+ Basically, imagine that you have 100 nearly identical
+ Windows or Linux machine containing the OS and user
+ files. Now for the OS part, a Base job will be backed
+ up once, and rather than making 100 copies of the OS,
+ there will be only one. If one or more of the systems
+ have some files updated, no problem, they will be
+ automatically restored.
+
+ Notes: Huge savings in tape usage even for a single machine.
+ Will require more resources because the DIR must send
+ FD a list of files/attribs, and the FD must search the
+ list and compare it for each file to be saved.
+
+Item 7: Implement creation and maintenance of copy pools
+ Date: 27 November 2005
+ Origin: David Boyes (dboyes at sinenomine dot net)
+ Status:
+
+ What: I would like Bacula to have the capability to write copies
+ of backed-up data on multiple physical volumes selected
+ from different pools without transferring the data
+ multiple times, and to accept any of the copy volumes
+ as valid for restore.
+
+ Why: In many cases, businesses are required to keep offsite
+ copies of backup volumes, or just wish for simple
+ protection against a human operator dropping a storage
+ volume and damaging it. The ability to generate multiple
+ volumes in the course of a single backup job allows
+ customers to simple check out one copy and send it
+ offsite, marking it as out of changer or otherwise
+ unavailable. Currently, the library and magazine
+ management capability in Bacula does not make this process
+ simple.
+
+ Restores would use the copy of the data on the first
+ available volume, in order of copy pool chain definition.
+
+ This is also a major scalability issue -- as the number of
+ clients increases beyond several thousand, and the volume
+ of data increases, transferring the data multiple times to
+ produce additional copies of the backups will become
+ physically impossible due to transfer speed
+ issues. Generating multiple copies at server side will
+ become the only practical option.
+
+ How: I suspect that this will require adding a multiplexing
+ SD that appears to be a SD to a specific FD, but 1-n FDs
+ to the specific back end SDs managing the primary and copy
+ pools. Storage pools will also need to acquire parameters
+ to define the pools to be used for copies.
+
+ Notes: I would commit some of my developers' time if we can agree
+ on the design and behavior.
+
+Item 8: Directive/mode to backup only file changes, not entire file
+ Date: 11 November 2005
+ Origin: Joshua Kugler <joshua dot kugler at uaf dot edu>
+ Marek Bajon <mbajon at bimsplus dot com dot pl>
+ Status:
+
+ What: Currently when a file changes, the entire file will be backed up in
+ the next incremental or full backup. To save space on the tapes
+ it would be nice to have a mode whereby only the changes to the
+ file would be backed up when it is changed.
+
+ Why: This would save lots of space when backing up large files such as
+ logs, mbox files, Outlook PST files and the like.
+
+ Notes: This would require the usage of disk-based volumes as comparing
+ files would not be feasible using a tape drive.
+
+Item 9: Implement a server-side compression feature
+ Date: 18 December 2006
+ Origin: Vadim A. Umanski , e-mail umanski@ext.ru
+ Status:
+ What: The ability to compress backup data on server receiving data
+ instead of doing that on client sending data.
+ Why: The need is practical. I've got some machines that can send
+ data to the network 4 or 5 times faster than compressing
+ them (I've measured that). They're using fast enough SCSI/FC
+ disk subsystems but rather slow CPUs (ex. UltraSPARC II).
+ And the backup server has got a quite fast CPUs (ex. Dual P4
+ Xeons) and quite a low load. When you have 20, 50 or 100 GB
+ of raw data - running a job 4 to 5 times faster - that
+ really matters. On the other hand, the data can be
+ compressed 50% or better - so losing twice more space for
+ disk backup is not good at all. And the network is all mine
+ (I have a dedicated management/provisioning network) and I
+ can get as high bandwidth as I need - 100Mbps, 1000Mbps...
+ That's why the server-side compression feature is needed!
+ Notes:
+
+Item 10: Improve Bacula's tape and drive usage and cleaning management.
+ Date: 8 November 2005, November 11, 2005
+ Origin: Adam Thornton <athornton at sinenomine dot net>,
+ Arno Lehmann <al at its-lehmann dot de>
+ Status:
+
+ What: Make Bacula manage tape life cycle information, tape reuse
+ times and drive cleaning cycles.
+
+ Why: All three parts of this project are important when operating
+ backups.
+ We need to know which tapes need replacement, and we need to
+ make sure the drives are cleaned when necessary. While many
+ tape libraries and even autoloaders can handle all this
+ automatically, support by Bacula can be helpful for smaller
+ (older) libraries and single drives. Limiting the number of
+ times a tape is used might prevent tape errors when using
+ tapes until the drives can't read it any more. Also, checking
+ drive status during operation can prevent some failures (as I
+ [Arno] had to learn the hard way...)
+
+ Notes: First, Bacula could (and even does, to some limited extent)
+ record tape and drive usage. For tapes, the number of mounts,
+ the amount of data, and the time the tape has actually been
+ running could be recorded. Data fields for Read and Write
+ time and Number of mounts already exist in the catalog (I'm
+ not sure if VolBytes is the sum of all bytes ever written to
+ that volume by Bacula). This information can be important
+ when determining which media to replace. The ability to mark
+ Volumes as "used up" after a given number of write cycles
+ should also be implemented so that a tape is never actually
+ worn out. For the tape drives known to Bacula, similar
+ information is interesting to determine the device status and
+ expected life time: Time it's been Reading and Writing, number
+ of tape Loads / Unloads / Errors. This information is not yet
+ recorded as far as I [Arno] know. A new volume status would
+ be necessary for the new state, like "Used up" or "Worn out".
+ Volumes with this state could be used for restores, but not
+ for writing. These volumes should be migrated first (assuming
+ migration is implemented) and, once they are no longer needed,
+ could be moved to a Trash pool.
+
+ The next step would be to implement a drive cleaning setup.
+ Bacula already has knowledge about cleaning tapes. Once it
+ has some information about cleaning cycles (measured in drive
+ run time, number of tapes used, or calender days, for example)
+ it can automatically execute tape cleaning (with an
+ autochanger, obviously) or ask for operator assistance loading
+ a cleaning tape.
+
+ The final step would be to implement TAPEALERT checks not only
+ when changing tapes and only sending the information to the
+ administrator, but rather checking after each tape error,
+ checking on a regular basis (for example after each tape
+ file), and also before unloading and after loading a new tape.
+ Then, depending on the drives TAPEALERT state and the known
+ drive cleaning state Bacula could automatically schedule later
+ cleaning, clean immediately, or inform the operator.
+
+ Implementing this would perhaps require another catalog change
+ and perhaps major changes in SD code and the DIR-SD protocol,
+ so I'd only consider this worth implementing if it would
+ actually be used or even needed by many people.
+
+ Implementation of these projects could happen in three distinct
+ sub-projects: Measuring Tape and Drive usage, retiring
+ volumes, and handling drive cleaning and TAPEALERTs.
+
+Item 11: Allow skipping execution of Jobs
+ Date: 29 November 2005
+ Origin: Florian Schnabel <florian.schnabel at docufy dot de>
+ Status:
+
+ What: An easy option to skip a certain job on a certain date.
+ Why: You could then easily skip tape backups on holidays. Especially
+ if you got no autochanger and can only fit one backup on a tape
+ that would be really handy, other jobs could proceed normally
+ and you won't get errors that way.
+
+Item 12: Add a scheduling syntax that permits weekly rotations
+ Date: 15 December 2006
+ Origin: Gregory Brauer (greg at wildbrain dot com)
+ Status:
+
+ What: Currently, Bacula only understands how to deal with weeks of the
+ month or weeks of the year in schedules. This makes it impossible
+ to do a true weekly rotation of tapes. There will always be a
+ discontinuity that will require disruptive manual intervention at
+ least monthly or yearly because week boundaries never align with
+ month or year boundaries.
+
+ A solution would be to add a new syntax that defines (at least)
+ a start timestamp, and repetition period.
+
+ Why: Rotated backups done at weekly intervals are useful, and Bacula
+ cannot currently do them without extensive hacking.
+
+ Notes: Here is an example syntax showing a 3-week rotation where full
+ Backups would be performed every week on Saturday, and an
+ incremental would be performed every week on Tuesday. Each
+ set of tapes could be removed from the loader for the following
+ two cycles before coming back and being reused on the third
+ week. Since the execution times are determined by intervals
+ from a given point in time, there will never be any issues with
+ having to adjust to any sort of arbitrary time boundary. In
+ the example provided, I even define the starting schedule
+ as crossing both a year and a month boundary, but the run times
+ would be based on the "Repeat" value and would therefore happen
+ weekly as desired.
+
+
+ Schedule {
+ Name = "Week 1 Rotation"
+ #Saturday. Would run Dec 30, Jan 20, Feb 10, etc.
+ Run {
+ Options {
+ Type = Full
+ Start = 2006-12-30 01:00
+ Repeat = 3w
+ }
+ }
+ #Tuesday. Would run Jan 2, Jan 23, Feb 13, etc.
+ Run {
+ Options {
+ Type = Incremental
+ Start = 2007-01-02 01:00
+ Repeat = 3w
+ }
+ }
+ }
+

+Item 13: Archival (removal) of User Files to Tape
+ Date: Nov. 24/2005
+ Origin: Ray Pengelly [ray at biomed dot queensu dot ca
+ Status:
+
+ What: The ability to archive data to storage based on certain parameters
+ such as age, size, or location. Once the data has been written to
+ storage and logged it is then pruned from the originating
+ filesystem. Note! We are talking about user's files and not
+ Bacula Volumes.
+
+ Why: This would allow fully automatic storage management which becomes
+ useful for large datastores. It would also allow for auto-staging
+ from one media type to another.
+
+ Example 1) Medical imaging needs to store large amounts of data.
+ They decide to keep data on their servers for 6 months and then put
+ it away for long term storage. The server then finds all files
+ older than 6 months writes them to tape. The files are then removed
+ from the server.
+
+ Example 2) All data that hasn't been accessed in 2 months could be
+ moved from high-cost, fibre-channel disk storage to a low-cost
+ large-capacity SATA disk storage pool which doesn't have as quick of
+ access time. Then after another 6 months (or possibly as one
+ storage pool gets full) data is migrated to Tape.

+Item 14: Cause daemons to use a specific IP address to source communications
+ Origin: Bill Moran <wmoran@collaborativefusion.com>
+ Date: 18 Dec 2006
+ Status:
+ What: Cause Bacula daemons (dir, fd, sd) to always use the ip address
+ specified in the [DIR|DF|SD]Addr directive as the source IP
+ for initiating communication.
+ Why: On complex networks, as well as extremely secure networks, it's
+ not unusual to have multiple possible routes through the network.
+ Often, each of these routes is secured by different policies
+ (effectively, firewalls allow or deny different traffic depending
+ on the source address)
+ Unfortunately, it can sometimes be difficult or impossible to
+ represent this in a system routing table, as the result is
+ excessive subnetting that quickly exhausts available IP space.
+ The best available workaround is to provide multiple IPs to
+ a single machine that are all on the same subnet. In order
+ for this to work properly, applications must support the ability
+ to bind outgoing connections to a specified address, otherwise
+ the operating system will always choose the first IP that
+ matches the required route.
+ Notes: Many other programs support this. For example, the following
+ can be configured in BIND:
+ query-source address 10.0.0.1;
+ transfer-source 10.0.0.2;
+ Which means queries from this server will always come from
+ 10.0.0.1 and zone transfers will always originate from
+ 10.0.0.2.

+Item 15: Multiple threads in file daemon for the same job
+ Date: 27 November 2005
+ Origin: Ove Risberg (Ove.Risberg at octocode dot com)
+ Status:
+
+ What: I want the file daemon to start multiple threads for a backup
+ job so the fastest possible backup can be made.
+
+ The file daemon could parse the FileSet information and start
+ one thread for each File entry located on a separate
+ filesystem.
+
+ A confiuration option in the job section should be used to
+ enable or disable this feature. The confgutration option could
+ specify the maximum number of threads in the file daemon.
+
+ If the theads could spool the data to separate spool files
+ the restore process will not be much slower.
+
+ Why: Multiple concurrent backups of a large fileserver with many
+ disks and controllers will be much faster.
+
+Item 16: Add Plug-ins to the FileSet Include statements.
+ Date: 28 October 2005
+ Origin:
+ Status: Partially coded in 1.37 -- much more to do.
+
+ What: Allow users to specify wild-card and/or regular
+ expressions to be matched in both the Include and
+ Exclude directives in a FileSet. At the same time,
+ allow users to define plug-ins to be called (based on
+ regular expression/wild-card matching).
+
+ Why: This would give the users the ultimate ability to control
+ how files are backed up/restored. A user could write a
+ plug-in knows how to backup his Oracle database without
+ stopping/starting it, for example.
+
+Item 17: Restore only file attributes (permissions, ACL, owner, group...)
+ Origin: Eric Bollengier
+ Date: 30/12/2006
+ Status:
+
+ What: The goal of this project is to be able to restore only rights
+ and attributes of files without crushing them.
+
+ Why: Who have never had to repair a chmod -R 777, or a wild update
+ of recursive right under Windows? At this time, you must have
+ enough space to restore data, dump attributes (easy with acl,
+ more complex with unix/windows rights) and apply them to your
+ broken tree. With this options, it will be very easy to compare
+ right or ACL over the time.
+
+ Notes: If the file is here, we skip restore and we change rights.
+ If the file isn't here, we can create an empty one and apply
+ rights or do nothing.
+
+Item 18: Quick release of FD-SD connection after backup.
+ Origin: Frank Volf (frank at deze dot org)
+ Date: 17 November 2005
+ Status: Done -- implemented by Kern -- in CVS 26Jan07
+
+ What: In the Bacula implementation a backup is finished after all data
+ and attributes are successfully written to storage. When using a
+ tape backup it is very annoying that a backup can take a day,
+ simply because the current tape (or whatever) is full and the
+ administrator has not put a new one in. During that time the
+ system cannot be taken off-line, because there is still an open
+ session between the storage daemon and the file daemon on the
+ client.
+
+ Although this is a very good strategy for making "safe backups"
+ This can be annoying for e.g. laptops, that must remain
+ connected until the backup is completed.
+
+ Using a new feature called "migration" it will be possible to
+ spool first to harddisk (using a special 'spool' migration
+ scheme) and then migrate the backup to tape.
+
+ There is still the problem of getting the attributes committed.
+ If it takes a very long time to do, with the current code, the
+ job has not terminated, and the File daemon is not freed up. The
+ Storage daemon should release the File daemon as soon as all the
+ file data and all the attributes have been sent to it (the SD).
+ Currently the SD waits until everything is on tape and all the
+ attributes are transmitted to the Director before signaling
+ completion to the FD. I don't think I would have any problem
+ changing this. The reason is that even if the FD reports back to
+ the Dir that all is OK, the job will not terminate until the SD
+ has done the same thing -- so in a way keeping the SD-FD link
+ open to the very end is not really very productive ...
+
+ Why: Makes backup of laptops much faster.

+
+ Why: At my works when jobs are finished and moved off of the main file
+ servers (raid based systems) onto a simple linux file server (ide based
+ system) so users can find old information without contacting the IT
+ dept.
+
+ So this data dosn't realy change it only gets added to,

+Item 22: Implement support for stacking arbitrary stream filters, sinks.
+Date: 23 November 2006
+Origin: Landon Fuller <landonf@threerings.net>
+Status: Planning. Assigned to landonf.
+
+ What: Implement support for the following:
+ - Stacking arbitrary stream filters (eg, encryption, compression,
+ sparse data handling))
+ - Attaching file sinks to terminate stream filters (ie, write out
+ the resultant data to a file)
+ - Refactor the restoration state machine accordingly
+
+ Why: The existing stream implementation suffers from the following:
+ - All state (compression, encryption, stream restoration), is
+ global across the entire restore process, for all streams. There are
+ multiple entry and exit points in the restoration state machine, and
+ thus multiple places where state must be allocated, deallocated,
+ initialized, or reinitialized. This results in exceptional complexity
+ for the author of a stream filter.
+ - The developer must enumerate all possible combinations of filters
+ and stream types (ie, win32 data with encryption, without encryption,
+ with encryption AND compression, etc).
+
+ Notes: This feature request only covers implementing the stream filters/
+ sinks, and refactoring the file daemon's restoration implementation
+ accordingly. If I have extra time, I will also rewrite the backup
+ implementation. My intent in implementing the restoration first is to
+ solve pressing bugs in the restoration handling, and to ensure that
+ the new restore implementation handles existing backups correctly.
+
+ I do not plan on changing the network or tape data structures to
+ support defining arbitrary stream filters, but supporting that
+ functionality is the ultimate goal.
+
+ Assistance with either code or testing would be fantastic.
+
+Item 23: Implement from-client and to-client on restore command line.
+ Date: 11 December 2006
+ Origin: Discussion on Bacula-users entitled 'Scripted restores to
+ different clients', December 2006
+ Status: New feature request
+
+ What: While using bconsole interactively, you can specify the client
+ that a backup job is to be restored for, and then you can
+ specify later a different client to send the restored files
+ back to. However, using the 'restore' command with all options
+ on the command line, this cannot be done, due to the ambiguous
+ 'client' parameter. Additionally, this parameter means different
+ things depending on if it's specified on the command line or
+ afterwards, in the Modify Job screens.
+
+ Why: This feature would enable restore jobs to be more completely
+ automated, for example by a web or GUI front-end.
+
+ Notes: client can also be implied by specifying the jobid on the command
+ line

+Item 24: Add an override in Schedule for Pools based on backup types.
+Date: 19 Jan 2005
+Origin: Chad Slater <chad.slater@clickfox.com>
+Status:
+
+ What: Adding a FullStorage=BigTapeLibrary in the Schedule resource
+ would help those of us who use different storage devices for different
+ backup levels cope with the "auto-upgrade" of a backup.
+
+ Why: Assume I add several new device to be backed up, i.e. several
+ hosts with 1TB RAID. To avoid tape switching hassles, incrementals are
+ stored in a disk set on a 2TB RAID. If you add these devices in the
+ middle of the month, the incrementals are upgraded to "full" backups,
+ but they try to use the same storage device as requested in the
+ incremental job, filling up the RAID holding the differentials. If we
+ could override the Storage parameter for full and/or differential
+ backups, then the Full job would use the proper Storage device, which
+ has more capacity (i.e. a 8TB tape library.
+
+Item 25: Implement huge exclude list support using hashing (dlists).
+ Date: 28 October 2005
+ Origin: Kern
+ Status: Done in 2.1.2 but was done with dlists (doubly linked lists
+ since hashing will not help. The huge list also supports
+ large include lists).
+
+ What: Allow users to specify very large exclude list (currently
+ more than about 1000 files is too many).
+
+ Why: This would give the users the ability to exclude all
+ files that are loaded with the OS (e.g. using rpms
+ or debs). If the user can restore the base OS from
+ CDs, there is no need to backup all those files. A
+ complete restore would be to restore the base OS, then
+ do a Bacula restore. By excluding the base OS files, the
+ backup set will be *much* smaller.
+
+Item 26: Implement more Python events in Bacula.

+ Why: This will permit users to customize Bacula through

+Item 27: Incorporation of XACML2/SAML2 parsing
+ Date: 19 January 2006
+ Origin: Adam Thornton <athornton@sinenomine.net>
+ Status: Blue sky
+
+ What: XACML is "eXtensible Access Control Markup Language" and
+ "SAML is the "Security Assertion Markup Language"--an XML standard
+ for making statements about identity and authorization. Having these
+ would give us a framework to approach ACLs in a generic manner, and
+ in a way flexible enough to support the four major sorts of ACLs I
+ see as a concern to Bacula at this point, as well as (probably) to
+ deal with new sorts of ACLs that may appear in the future.
+
+ Why: Bacula is beginning to need to back up systems with ACLs
+ that do not map cleanly onto traditional Unix permissions. I see
+ four sets of ACLs--in general, mutually incompatible with one
+ another--that we're going to need to deal with. These are: NTFS
+ ACLs, POSIX ACLs, NFSv4 ACLS, and AFS ACLS. (Some may question the
+ relevance of AFS; AFS is one of Sine Nomine's core consulting
+ businesses, and having a reputable file-level backup and restore
+ technology for it (as Tivoli is probably going to drop AFS support
+ soon since IBM no longer supports AFS) would be of huge benefit to
+ our customers; we'd most likely create the AFS support at Sine Nomine
+ for inclusion into the Bacula (and perhaps some changes to the
+ OpenAFS volserver) core code.)
+
+ Now, obviously, Bacula already handles NTFS just fine. However, I
+ think there's a lot of value in implementing a generic ACL model, so
+ that it's easy to support whatever particular instances of ACLs come
+ down the pike: POSIX ACLS (think SELinux) and NFSv4 are the obvious
+ things arriving in the Linux world in a big way in the near future.
+ XACML, although overcomplicated for our needs, provides this
+ framework, and we should be able to leverage other people's
+ implementations to minimize the amount of work *we* have to do to get
+ a generic ACL framework. Basically, the costs of implementation are
+ high, but they're largely both external to Bacula and already sunk.

+ Origin: Jesper Krogh <jesper@krogh.cc>
+ Status: Unimplemented, depends probably on "client initiated backups"
+
+ What: With inotify and similar filesystem triggeret notification
+ systems is it possible to have the file-daemon to monitor
+ filesystem changes and initiate backup.
+
+ Why: There are 2 situations where this is nice to have.
+ 1) It is possible to get a much finer-grained backup than
+ the fixed schedules used now.. A file created and deleted
+ a few hours later, can automatically be caught.
+
+ 2) The introduced load on the system will probably be
+ distributed more even on the system.
+
+ Notes: This can be combined with configration that specifies
+ something like: "at most every 15 minutes or when changes
+ consumed XX MB".
+
+Kern Notes: I would rather see this implemented by an external program
+ that monitors the Filesystem changes, then uses the console
+ to start the appropriate job.

+Item 29: Allow inclusion/exclusion of files in a fileset by creation/mod times
+ Origin: Evan Kaufman <evan.kaufman@gmail.com>
+ Date: January 11, 2006
+ Status:
+
+ What: In the vein of the Wild and Regex directives in a Fileset's
+ Options, it would be helpful to allow a user to include or exclude
+ files and directories by creation or modification times.
+
+ You could factor the Exclude=yes|no option in much the same way it
+ affects the Wild and Regex directives. For example, you could exclude
+ all files modified before a certain date:
+
+ Options {
+ Exclude = yes
+ Modified Before = ####
+ }
+
+ Or you could exclude all files created/modified since a certain date:
+
+ Options {
+ Exclude = yes
+ Created Modified Since = ####
+ }
+
+ The format of the time/date could be done several ways, say the number
+ of seconds since the epoch:
+ 1137008553 = Jan 11 2006, 1:42:33PM # result of `date +%s`
+
+ Or a human readable date in a cryptic form:
+ 20060111134233 = Jan 11 2006, 1:42:33PM # YYYYMMDDhhmmss
+
+ Why: I imagine a feature like this could have many uses. It would
+ allow a user to do a full backup while excluding the base operating
+ system files, so if I installed a Linux snapshot from a CD yesterday,
+ I'll *exclude* all files modified *before* today. If I need to
+ recover the system, I use the CD I already have, plus the tape backup.
+ Or if, say, a Windows client is hit by a particularly corrosive
+ virus, and I need to *exclude* any files created/modified *since* the
+ time of infection.
+
+ Notes: Of course, this feature would work in concert with other
+ in/exclude rules, and wouldnt override them (or each other).
+
+ Notes: The directives I'd imagine would be along the lines of
+ "[Created] [Modified] [Before|Since] = <date>".
+ So one could compare against 'ctime' and/or 'mtime', but ONLY 'before'
+ or 'since'.

+
+Item 31: Implement multiple numeric backup levels as supported by dump
+Date: 3 April 2006
+Origin: Daniel Rich <drich@employees.org>
+Status:
+What: Dump allows specification of backup levels numerically instead of just
+ "full", "incr", and "diff". In this system, at any given level, all
+ files are backed up that were were modified since the last backup of a
+ higher level (with 0 being the highest and 9 being the lowest). A
+ level 0 is therefore equivalent to a full, level 9 an incremental, and
+ the levels 1 through 8 are varying levels of differentials. For
+ bacula's sake, these could be represented as "full", "incr", and
+ "diff1", "diff2", etc.
+
+Why: Support of multiple backup levels would provide for more advanced backup
+ rotation schemes such as "Towers of Hanoi". This would allow better
+ flexibility in performing backups, and can lead to shorter recover
+ times.
+
+Notes: Legato Networker supports a similar system with full, incr, and 1-9 as
+ levels.
+
+Item 32: Automatic promotion of backup levels
+ Date: 19 January 2006
+ Origin: Adam Thornton <athornton@sinenomine.net>
+ Status:
+
+ What: Amanda has a feature whereby it estimates the space that a
+ differential, incremental, and full backup would take. If the
+ difference in space required between the scheduled level and the next
+ level up is beneath some user-defined critical threshold, the backup
+ level is bumped to the next type. Doing this minimizes the number of
+ volumes necessary during a restore, with a fairly minimal cost in
+ backup media space.
+
+ Why: I know at least one (quite sophisticated and smart) user
+ for whom the absence of this feature is a deal-breaker in terms of
+ using Bacula; if we had it it would eliminate the one cool thing
+ Amanda can do and we can't (at least, the one cool thing I know of).

+Item 33: Clustered file-daemons
+ Origin: Alan Brown ajb2 at mssl dot ucl dot ac dot uk

+ Status:
+ What: A "virtual" filedaemon, which is actually a cluster of real ones.
+
+ Why: In the case of clustered filesystems (SAN setups, GFS, or OCFS2, etc)
+ multiple machines may have access to the same set of filesystems
+
+ For performance reasons, one may wish to initate backups from
+ several of these machines simultaneously, instead of just using
+ one backup source for the common clustered filesystem.
+
+ For obvious reasons, normally backups of $A-FD/$PATH and
+ B-FD/$PATH are treated as different backup sets. In this case
+ they are the same communal set.
+
+ Likewise when restoring, it would be easier to just specify
+ one of the cluster machines and let bacula decide which to use.
+
+ This can be faked to some extent using DNS round robin entries
+ and a virtual IP address, however it means "status client" will
+ always give bogus answers. Additionally there is no way of
+ spreading the load evenly among the servers.
+
+ What is required is something similar to the storage daemon
+ autochanger directives, so that Bacula can keep track of
+ operating backups/restores and direct new jobs to a "free"
+ client.

+
+ Why: We only really have one database server, which is MS SQL Server
+ 2000. Maintaining a second one for the backup software (we grew out of
+ SQLite, which I liked, but which didn't work so well with our database
+ size). We don't really have a machine with the resources to run

+ Date: 2005-11-11
+ Origin: Peter Eriksson <peter at ifm.liu dot se>
+ Status:
+
+ What: After a configurable amount of fatal errors with a tape drive
+ Bacula should automatically disable further use of a certain
+ tape drive. There should also be "disable"/"enable" commands in
+ the "bconsole" tool.
+
+ Why: On a multi-drive jukebox there is a possibility of tape drives
+ going bad during large backups (needing a cleaning tape run,
+ tapes getting stuck). It would be advantageous if Bacula would
+ automatically disable further use of a problematic tape drive
+ after a configurable amount of errors has occurred.
+
+ An example: I have a multi-drive jukebox (6 drives, 380+ slots)
+ where tapes occasionally get stuck inside the drive. Bacula will
+ notice that the "mtx-changer" command will fail and then fail
+ any backup jobs trying to use that drive. However, it will still
+ keep on trying to run new jobs using that drive and fail -
+ forever, and thus failing lots and lots of jobs... Since we have
+ many drives Bacula could have just automatically disabled
+ further use of that drive and used one of the other ones
+ instead.

+Item 37: Add an item to the restore option where you can select a pool
+ Origin: kshatriyak at gmail dot com
+ Date: 1/1/2006
+ Status:
+
+ What: In the restore option (Select the most recent backup for a
+ client) it would be useful to add an option where you can limit
+ the selection to a certain pool.
+
+ Why: When using cloned jobs, most of the time you have 2 pools - a
+ disk pool and a tape pool. People who have 2 pools would like to
+ select the most recent backup from disk, not from tape (tape
+ would be only needed in emergency). However, the most recent
+ backup (which may just differ a second from the disk backup) may
+ be on tape and would be selected. The problem becomes bigger if
+ you have a full and differential - the most "recent" full backup
+ may be on disk, while the most recent differential may be on tape
+ (though the differential on disk may differ even only a second or
+ so). Bacula will complain that the backups reside on different
+ media then. For now the only solution now when restoring things
+ when you have 2 pools is to manually search for the right
+ job-id's and enter them by hand, which is a bit fault tolerant.

+Item 39: Message mailing based on backup types
+ Origin: Evan Kaufman <evan.kaufman@gmail.com>
+ Date: January 6, 2006
+ Status:
+
+ What: In the "Messages" resource definitions, allowing messages
+ to be mailed based on the type (backup, restore, etc.) and level
+ (full, differential, etc) of job that created the originating
+ message(s).
+
+ Why: It would, for example, allow someone's boss to be emailed
+ automatically only when a Full Backup job runs, so he can
+ retrieve the tapes for offsite storage, even if the IT dept.
+ doesn't (or can't) explicitly notify him. At the same time, his
+ mailbox wouldnt be filled by notifications of Verifies, Restores,
+ or Incremental/Differential Backups (which would likely be kept
+ onsite).
+
+ Notes: One way this could be done is through additional message types, for example:
+
+ Messages {
+ # email the boss only on full system backups
+ Mail = boss@mycompany.com = full, !incremental, !differential, !restore,
+ !verify, !admin
+ # email us only when something breaks
+ MailOnError = itdept@mycompany.com = all
+ }

+Item 40: Include JobID in spool file name ****DONE****
+ Origin: Mark Bergman <mark.bergman@uphs.upenn.edu>
+ Date: Tue Aug 22 17:13:39 EDT 2006
+ Status: Done. (patches/testing/project-include-jobid-in-spool-name.patch)
+ No need to vote for this item.
+
+ What: Change the name of the spool file to include the JobID
+
+ Why: JobIDs are the common key used to refer to jobs, yet the
+ spoolfile name doesn't include that information. The date/time
+ stamp is useful (and should be retained).

+============= New Freature Requests after vote of 26 Jan 2007 ========
+Item 41: Enable to relocate files and directories when restoring
+ Date: 2007-03-01
+ Origin: Eric Bollengier <eric@eb.homelinux.org>
+ Status: Done.
+
+ What: The where= option is not powerful enough. It will be
+ a great feature if bacula can restore a file in the
+ same directory, but with a different name, or in
+ an other directory without recreating the full path.
+
+ Why: When i want to restore a production environment to a
+ development environment, i just want change the first
+ directory. ie restore /prod/data/file.dat to /rect/data/file.dat.
+ At this time, i have to move by hand files. You must have a big
+ dump space to restore and move data after.
+
+ When i use Linux or SAN snapshot, i mount them to /mnt/snap_xxx
+ so, when a restore a file, i have to move by hand
+ from /mnt/snap_xxx/file to /xxx/file. I can't replace a file
+ easily.
+
+ When a user ask me to restore a file in its personal folder,
+ (without replace the existing one), i can't restore from
+ my_file.txt to my_file.txt.old witch is very practical.
+
+
+ Notes: I think we can enhance the where= option very easily by
+ allowing regexp expression.
+
+ Since, many users think that regexp are not user friendly, i think
+ that bat, bconsole or brestore must provide a simple way to
+ configure where= option (i think to something like in
+ openoffice "search and replace").
+
+ Ie, if user uses where=/tmp/bacula-restore, we keep the old
+ fashion.
+
+ If user uses something like where=s!/prod!/test!, files will
+ be restored from /prod/xxx to /test/xxx.
+
+ If user uses something like where=s/$/.old/, files will
+ be restored from /prod/xxx.txt to /prod/xxx.txt.old.
+
+ If user uses something like where=s/txt$/old.txt/, files will
+ be restored from /prod/xxx.txt to /prod/xxx.old.txt
+
+ if user uses something like where=s/([a-z]+)$/old.$1/, files will
+ be restored from /prod/xxx.ext to /prod/xxx.old.ext
+
+Item n: Implement Catalog directive for Pool resource in Director
+configuration
+ Origin: Alan Davis adavis@ruckus.com
+ Date: 6 March 2007
+ Status: Submitted
+
+ What: The current behavior is for the director to create all pools
+ found in the configuration file in all catalogs. Add a
+ Catalog directive to the Pool resource to specify which
+ catalog to use for each pool definition.
+
+ Why: This allows different catalogs to have different pool
+ attributes and eliminates the side-effect of adding
+ pools to catalogs that don't need/use them.
+
+ Notes:
+
+
+Item n: Implement NDMP protocol support
+ Origin: Alan Davis
+ Date: 06 March 2007
+ Status: Submitted
+
+ What: Network Data Management Protocol is implemented by a number of
+ NAS filer vendors to enable backups using third-party
+ software.
+
+ Why: This would allow NAS filer backups in Bacula without incurring
+ the overhead of NFS or SBM/CIFS.
+
+ Notes: Further information is available:
+ http://www.ndmp.org
+ http://www.ndmp.org/wp/wp.shtml
+ http://www.traakan.com/ndmjob/index.html
+
+ There are currently no viable open-source NDMP
+ implementations. There is a reference SDK and example
+ app available from ndmp.org but it has problems
+ compiling on recent Linux and Solaris OS'. The ndmjob
+ reference implementation from Traakan is known to
+ compile on Solaris 10.
+
+ Notes (Kern): I am not at all in favor of this until NDMP becomes
+ an Open Standard or until there are Open Source libraries
+ that interface to it.
+
+Item n: make changing "spooldata=yes|no" possible for
+ manual/interactive jobs
+
+Origin: Marc Schiffbauer <marc@schiffbauer.net>
+
+Date: 12 April 2007)
+
+Status: NEW
+
+What: Make it possible to modify the spooldata option
+ for a job when being run from within the console.
+ Currently it is possible to modify the backup level
+ and the spooldata setting in a Schedule resource.
+ It is also possible to modify the backup level when using
+ the "run" command in the console.
+ But it is currently not possible to to the same
+ with "spooldata=yes|no" like:
+
+ run job=MyJob level=incremental spooldata=yes
+
+Why: In some situations it would be handy to be able to switch
+ spooldata on or off for interactive/manual jobs based on
+ which data the admin expects or how fast the LAN/WAN
+ connection currently is.

+ <li><b>Bacula</b> has been compiled and run on Linux, FreeBSD,
+ and Solaris systems.</li>
+ <li>It requires GNU C++ version 2.95 or higher to compile. You can try
+ with other compilers and older versions, but you are on your
+ own. We have successfully compiled and used Bacula on
+ RH8.0/RH9/RHEL 3.0 with GCC 3.2. Note, in general GNU C++ is a
+ separate package (e.g. RPM) from GNU C, so you need them both
+ loaded. On RedHat systems, the C++ compiler is part of the
+ <b>gcc-c++</b> rpm package. </li>
+ <li>There are certain third party packages that Bacula needs.
+ Except for MySQL and PostgreSQL, they can all be found in the
+ <b>depkgs</b> and <b>depkgs1</b> releases.</li>
+ <li>If you want to build the Win32 binaries, you should know
+ that they are cross-compiled on a Linux machine. For
+ more information, please see the src/win32/README.mingw32
+ file in the source distribution.
+ Although we document it, we do not support building the
+ Win32 binaries. Only the Win32 File daemon is officially
+ supported, though the other daemons are available in the
+ binary release.</li>
+ <li><b>Bacula</b> requires a good implementation of pthreads to work.
+ This is not the case on some of the BSD systems.</li>
+ <li>The source code has been written with portability in mind and is
+ mostly POSIX compatible. Thus porting to any POSIX compatible
+ operating system should be relatively easy.</li>
+ <li>The GNOME Console program is developed and tested under GNOME 2.x.
+ </li>
+ <li>The wxWidgets Console program is developed and tested with the
+ latest stable version of <a
+ href="http://www.wxwidgets.org/">wxWidgets</a> (2.6). It
+ works fine with the Windows and GTK+-2.x version of wxWidgets,
+ and should also works on other platforms supported by
+ wxWidgets.</li>
+ <li>The Tray Monitor program is developed for GTK+-2.x. It needs
+ Gnome >=2.2, KDE >=3.1 or any window manager supporting the
+ <a href="http://www.freedesktop.org/Standards/systemtray-spec">
+ FreeDesktop system tray standard</a>.</li>
+ <li>If you want to enable command line editing and history, you will
+ need to have /usr/include/termcap.h and either the termcap or the
+ ncurses library loaded (libtermcap-devel or ncurses-devel).</li>

+
+ Please keep in mind that we are not getting paid for this.
+ Nevertheless, our desire is to see as many people using
+ <b>Bacula</b> as possible. So we are very willing to
+ provide a reasonable level of email support.
+
+ <p>Before asking for help, it could be useful to check against the
+ email archive as often solution to your problem has been discussed
+ or a patch has been released. Please see:
+ <a href="http://news.gmane.org/search.php?match=bacula">
+ http://news.gmane.org/search.php?match=bacula</a>.
+
+ Also, if you are using Bacula in production, we highly recommend
+ subscribing to the bugs database at: <a href="http://bugs.bacula.org">
+ http://bugs.bacula.org</a> to keep informed of problems and
+ patches.
+
+ <p>For support, send an email to
+ <b>bacula-users at lists.sourceforge.net</b>, and if you are
+ specific enough, some kind Bacula user will help you. Please
+ note that if you don't at least specify what version of Bacula
+ and what platform you are using, it will not be easy to get a
+ valid answer. The email address noted above
+ was modified to prevent easy use by spammers.
+ To use it, you must replace the <b>at</b> with an @ symbol. Due
+ to the increasing volumes of spam on the list, you must
+ be subscribed to it to be able to send and email to it. The
+ link to your left entitled <b>Email Lists</b> provides links
+ to where you can subscribe to each of the Bacula email lists.
+
+ The users constantly monitor this list and will generally provide
+ support. Please see <b>Information Needed</b> below for what to
+ include in your support request. If you don't supply the necessary
+ information, it will take longer to respond to your request, and
+ users may be afraid to try to respond,
+ if your request is too complicated or not well formulated.
+
+
+ <p>I (Kern) get a number of "off-list" emails sent
+ directly to me. Unfortunately, I am no longer able to provide
+ direct user support. However, I do read all the email sent and
+ occasionally provide a tip or two. If you do send email to me,
+ please always copy the appropriate list, if you
+ do not copy the list, I may not answer you, or I will answer by copying
+ the list. If you <em>really</em> have something confidential,
+ please clearly indicate it.</p>
+
+ <p>If you send a bug report or minor enhancement request because of a
+ problem to the bacula-devel list, and you do not provide the information
+ requested below, particularly the Bacula version, it is <b>very</b>
+ frustrating for us, because it is quite often the case that your problem is
+ version dependent, and likely already fixed. In such case, we will note
+ the problem, but you will be unlikely to get a response, especially if we
+ are busy, because it forces us to first ask you what version you are using
+ (or other information), then deal with your response, thus doubling the
+ time for us. If we do ask you for information, please include <b>all</b>
+ the previous correspondence in each email, otherwise you force us to search
+ the archives to find what you previously wrote. In short, if you want a
+ response, please see "Information Needed" below.
+
+ <p>If you are looking for live-support you might check out our irc-channel
+ in the <a href="http://www.freenode.net">Freenode</a> net, called #bacula.
+
+<h3>Information Needed</h3>
+For us to respond to a bug report, we normally need the following
+as the minimum information, which you can enter into the appropriate
+fields of the bug reporting system:
+<ul>
+<li>Your operating system</li>
+<li>The version of Bacula you are using</li>
+<li>A <a href="http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/bugs.html">clear and concise</a> description of the problem</li>
+<li>If you say "it crashes", "it doesn't work" or something
+ similar, you should include some output from Bacula that shows this.</li>
+<li>If we respond to your email, and you answer, possibly supplying more
+ information, please be sure to include the <b>full</b> text of previous
+ emails so that we have all the information in one place.</li>
+</ul>
+If you are having tape problems, please include:
+<ul>
+ <li>The kind of tape drive you have </li>
+ <li>Have you run the <b>btape</b> "test" command?</li>
+</ul>
+
+If you are having database problems, please include:
+<ul>
+ <li>The database you are using: MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite, SQLite3 </li>
+ <li>The version of the database you are using</li>
+</ul>
+
+The first two of these items can be fulfilled by sending
+us a copy of your <b>config.out</b> file, which is in the
+main <b>Bacula</b> source directory after you have done
+your <b>./configure</b>.
+<p>In addition, we will sometimes need a copy of your Bacula
+configuration files (especially bacula-dir.conf). If you
+think it is a configuration problem, please don't hesitate
+to send them if necessary.</td>

+ Bacula has been awesome for us. We used to use Ar**** but I
+ have always hated the interface. And the cost was outrageous.
+ Then I found bacula and wow! Everything in Ar**** and then
+ some! The console is easy to use, easy to understand once you
+ get the hang of it, and I usually don't have any problems
+ restoring files! :)
+ <br>
+ I have 15+ machines I backup with Bacula

+ Our former backup-system was ARGHserve running on NT4.
+ Due to the fact that we replaced most of our servers with
+ Linux machines we had to find some other solution.<br> At
+ first we tried ARGHserve on Linux, without much comfort.
+ Database updates took days to complete, the database
+ itself grew enormously large, ... not really something
+ you except from such an expensive piece of software.<br>
+ I began the quest for a new backup-solution, testing
+ almost anything I could find on Sourceforge and Freshmeat
+ and finally decided to go with Bacula.<br> It's perfectly
+ maintained by Kern and many others, is an (very) active
+ project with good support through maillists and an
+ irc-channel, which can be found on Freenode.<br>
+ <br>
+ Today we run Bacula on a SuSE based x86 machine with a
+ 2.6 kernel, some RAID5-Systems and IBM Ultrium
+ Tapelibrary. Without any issues and without more work
+ than changing two tapes in the morning.<br>
+ <br>
+ Recoveries aren't complicated as well, you either choose
+ a jobid to restore from or let Bacula find the correct
+ jobid for a file or directory you need to recover. You
+ mark everything you need, Bacula tells you which tapes it
+ needs, done.<br>
+ You don't even have to wait for any daemon to finish
+ database updates for backuped files, you can start with
+ the recovery right after the backup-job is done.
+ Perfect. <br>

+ I had previously used Veritas Netbackup, but it was really too expensive
+ for our University. Bacula permitted us to buy a library. Now, we use
+ Bacula since 10/2002 with an ADIC Scalar 24 library and LTO ultrium,
+ without any problems. I think it can do anything Netbackup could do with our
+ configuration. We backup seven Linux servers, one NT server, four
+ Windows 2003 servers and a few XP workstations. Some of these servers
+ are backed up across a firewall using ssh; some others are on a private
+ network. We tried succesfully the disaster recovery procedure on Linux
+ and had some good results in restoring Windows "from bare metal". What do I
+ like in Bacula ? It is very flexible and reliable. With its light
+ interface console, I can manage the backups from everywhere. A few words
+ about the support : it is free but efficient. I don't have to cross a
+ level 1, level 2 helpdesk to have some help, I never felt alone, and the

+
+<b>Bacula</b> is a set of computer programs that permit you (or the
+system administrator) to manage backup, recovery, and verification of
+computer data across a network of computers of different kinds. In
+technical terms, it is a network Client/Server based backup program.
+Bacula is relatively easy to use and efficient, while offering many
+advanced storage management features that make it easy to find and
+recover lost or damaged files. Due to its modular design, Bacula is
+scalable from small single computer systems to systems consisting of
+hundreds of computers located over a large network.
+<h3>Who Needs Bacula?</h3>
+If you are currently using a program such as <b>tar</b>, <b>dump</b>, or
+<b>bru</b> to backup your computer data, and you would like a network
+solution, more flexibility, or catalog services, Bacula will most
+likely provide the additional features you want. However, if you are
+new to Unix systems or do not have offsetting experience with a sophisticated
+backup package, we do not recommend using Bacula as it is
+much more difficult to setup and use than <b>tar</b> or <b>dump</b>.
+<p>If you are running <b>Amanda</b> and would like a backup program that
+can write to multiple volumes (i.e. is not limited by your tape drive
+capacity), Bacula can most likely fill your needs. In addition,
+quite a number of our users report that Bacula is simpler to
+setup and use than other equivalent programs.
+<p>If you are
+currently using a sophisticated commercial package such as Legato
+Networker. ARCserveIT, Arkeia, or PerfectBackup+, you may be interested
+in Bacula, which provides many of the same features, and is free
+software available under the GNU Version 2 software license.
+
+<h3>Bacula Components or Services</h3>
+Bacula is made up of the following five major components or services:
+<p style="text-align: center; font-size: small">
+ <img src="images/manual/bacula-applications.png" alt="" width="576" height="734"><br>
+ thanks to Aristedes Maniatis for this graphic and the one below
+</p>
+<p>
+<ul>
+<li><a name="DirDef"></a>
+ <b>Bacula Director</b> service consists of the program that
+ supervises all the backup, restore, verify and archive operations.
+ The system administrator uses the Bacula Director to schedule
+ backups and to recover files. For more details see the <a
+ href="rel-manual/director.html">Director Services Daemon Design Document</a>.
+ The Director runs as a daemon or a service (i.e. in the background).
+</li>
+<li><a name="UADef"></a>
+ <b>Bacula Console</b> services is the program that allows the
+ administrator or user to communicate with the <b>Bacula Director</b>
+ (see above). Currently, the Bacula Console is available in three
+ versions. The first and simplest is to run the Console program in a
+ shell window (i.e. TTY interface). Most system administrators will
+ find this completely adequate. The second version is a GNOME GUI
+ interface that for the moment (23 November 2003) is far from complete,
+ but quite functional as it has most the capabilities of the shell
+ Console. The third version is a wxWidgets GUI with an interactive file
+ restore. It also has most the capabilities of the shell console,
+ allows command completion with tabulation, and gives you instant
+ help about the command you are typing. For more details see the
+ <a href="rel-manual/console.html">Bacula Console Design Document</a>.
+</li>
+<li><a name="FDDef"></a>
+ <b>Bacula File</b> services (or Client program) is the software
+ program that is installed on the machine to be backed up. It is
+ specific to the operating system on which it runs and is responsible
+ for providing the file attributes and data when requested by the
+ Director. The File services are also responsible for the file
+ system dependent part of restoring the file attributes and data
+ during a recovery operation. For more details see the <a
+ href="rel-manual/file.html">File Services Daemon Design Document</a>. This
+ program runs as a daemon on the machine to be backed up, and in some
+ of the documentation, the File daemon is referred to as the Client
+ (for example in Bacula's configuration file). In addition to
+ Unix/Linux File daemons, there is a Windows File daemon (normally
+ distributed in binary format). The Windows File daemon runs on
+ all currently known Windows versions (95, 98, Me, NT, 2000, XP).
+</li>
+<li><a name="SDDef"></a>
+ <b>Bacula Storage</b> services consist of the software programs that
+ perform the storage and recovery of the file attributes and data to
+ the physical backup media or volumes. In other words, the Storage daemon
+ is responsible for reading and writing your tapes (or other
+ storage media, e.g. files). For more details see the <a
+ href="rel-manual/storage.html">Storage Services Daemon Design Document</a>.
+ The Storage services runs as a daemon on the machine that has the
+ backup device (usually a tape drive).
+</li>
+<li><a name="DBDefinition"></a>
+ <b>Catalog</b> services are comprised of the software programs
+ responsible for maintaining the file indexes and volume databases for
+ all files backed up. The Catalog services permit the System
+ Administrator or user to quickly locate and restore any desired
+ file. The Catalog services sets Bacula apart from simple backup
+ programs like tar and bru, because the catalog maintains a record
+ of all Volumes used, all Jobs run, and all Files saved, permitting
+ efficicient restoration and Volume management.
+ Bacula currently supports three different databases, MySQL,
+ PostgreSQL, and SQLite, one of which must be chosen when building
+ <b>Bacula</b>. There also exists an Internal database, but it is no
+ longer supported.
+ <p>
+ The three SQL databases currently supported (MySQL, PostgreSQL or SQLite)
+ provide quite a number of features,
+ including rapid indexing, arbitrary queries, and security. Although
+ we plan to support other major SQL databases, the current
+ Bacula implementation interfaces only to MySQL, PostgreSQL and SQLite.
+ For more details see the <a href="rel-manual/catalog.html">Catalog Services
+ Design Document</a>.
+ <p>The RPMs for MySQL and PostgreSQL ship as part of the Linux RedHat release,
+ or building it from the source is quite easy, see the
+ <a href="rel-manual/mysql.html"> Installing and Configuring MySQL</a> chapter
+ of this document for the details. For more information on MySQL,
+ please see: <a href="http://www.mysql.com">www.mysql.com</a>.
+ Or see the <a href="rel-manual/postgresql.html"> Installing and Configuring
+ PostgreSQL</a> chapter of this document for the details. For more
+ information on PostgreSQL, please see: <a
+ href="http://www.postgresql.org">www.postgresql.org</a>.
+ <p>Configuring and building SQLite is even easier. For the details
+ of configuring SQLite, please see the <a href="rel-manual/sqlite.html">
+ Installing and Configuring SQLite</a> chapter of this document.
+</li>
+<li><a name="MonDef"></a>
+ <b>Bacula Monitor</b> services is the program that allows the
+ administrator or user to watch current status of <b>Bacula Directors</b>,
+ <b>Bacula File Daemons</b> and <b>Bacula Storage Daemons</b>
+ (see above). Currently, only a GTK+ version is available, which
+ works with Gnome and KDE (or any window manager that supports the
+ FreeDesktop.org system tray standard).
+</li>
+</ul>
+To perform a successful save or restore, the following four daemons
+must be configured and running: the Director daemon, the File daemon,
+the Storage daemon, and MySQL, PostgreSQL or SQLite.
+
+<h3>Bacula Configuration</h3>
+In order for Bacula to understand your system, what clients you
+want backed up, and how, you must create a number of configuration
+files containing resources (or objects). The following presents an
+overall picture of this:
+<p style="text-align: center">
+ <img src="images/manual/bacula-objects.png" alt="" width="576" height="734">

+
+<h3>Conventions Used in this Document</h3>
+<b>Bacula</b> is in a state of evolution, and as a consequence,
+this manual will not always agree with the code. If an
+item in this manual is preceded by an asterisk (*), it indicates
+that the particular feature is not implemented. If it is preceded
+by a plus sign (+), it indicates that the feature may be partially
+implemented.
+<p>If you are reading this manual as supplied in a released version
+of the software, the above paragraph holds true. If you are reading
+the online version of the manual, <a href="/dev-manual">
+http://www.bacula.org/rel-manual</a>, please bear in mind that this version
+describes the current version in development (in the SVN) that may
+contain features not in the released version. Just the same,
+it generally lags behind the code a bit.
+<h3>Quick Start</h3>
+To get Bacula up and running quickly, we recommend that you first
+scan the Terminology section below, then quickly review the next chapter
+entitled <a href="rel-manual/state.html">The Current State of Bacula</a>, then the
+<a href="rel-manual/quickstart.html">Quick Start Guide to Bacula</a>, which will
+give you a quick overview of getting Bacula running. After
+which, you should proceed to the
+chapter on <a href="rel-manual/install.html"> Installing Bacula</a>, then <a
+href="rel-manual/configure.html">How to Configure Bacula</a>,
+and finally the chapter on <a href="rel-manual/running.html">
+Running Bacula</a>.
+
+<h3>Terminology</h3>
+To facilitate communication about this project, we provide here
+the definitions of the terminology that we use.
+<dl>
+ <dt>Administrator</dt>
+ <dd>The person or persons responsible for administrating the Bacula system.</dd>
+
+ <dt>Backup</dt>
+ <dd>We use the term <b>Backup</b> to refer to a Bacula Job that saves files. </dd>
+
+ <dt>Bootstrap File</dt>
+ <dd>The bootstrap file is an ASCII file
+ containing a compact form of commands that allow Bacula or
+ the stand-alone file extraction utility (<b>bextract</b>) to
+ restore the contents of one or more Volumes, for example, the
+ current state of a system just backed up. With a bootstrap file,
+ Bacula can restore your system without a Catalog. You can
+ create a bootstrap file from a Catalog to extract any file or
+ files you wish.</dd>
+
+ <dt>Catalog</dt>
+ <dd>The Catalog is used to store summary information
+ about the Jobs, Clients, and Files that were backed up and on
+ what Volume or Volumes. The information saved in the Catalog
+ permits the administrator or user to determine what jobs were
+ run, their status as well as the important characteristics
+ of each file that was backed up. The Catalog is an online resource,
+ but does not contain the data for the files backed up. Most of
+ the information stored in the catalog is also stored on the
+ backup volumes (i.e. tapes). Of course, the tapes will also have
+ a copy of the file in addition to the File Attributes (see below).
+ <p>The catalog feature is one part of Bacula that distinguishes
+ it from simple backup and archive programs such as <b>dump</b>
+ and <b>tar</b>.
+ </dd>
+
+ <dt>Client</dt>
+ <dd>In Bacula's terminology, the word Client
+ refers to the machine being backed up, and it is synonymous
+ with the File services or File daemon, and quite often, we
+ refer to it as the FD. A Client is defined in a configuration
+ file resource. </dd>
+
+ <dt>Console</dt>
+ <dd>The program that interfaces to the Director allowing
+ the user or system administrator to control Bacula.</dd>
+
+ <dt>Daemon</dt>
+ <dd>Unix terminology for a program that is always present in
+ the background to carry out a designated task. On Windows systems, as
+ well as some Linux systems, daemons are called <b>Services</b>.</dd>
+
+ <dt>Directive</dt>
+ <dd>The term directive is used to refer to a statement
+ or a record within a Resource in a configuration file that
+ defines one specific thing. For example, the <b>Name</b> directive
+ defines the name of the Resource.</dd>
+
+ <dt>Director</dt>
+ <dd>The main Bacula server daemon that schedules and directs all
+ Bacula operations. Occassionally, we refer to the Director as DIR.</dd>
+
+ <dt>Differential</dt>
+ <dd>A backup that includes all files changed since the last
+ Full save started. Note, other backup programs may define this differently.</dd>
+
+ <dt>File Attributes</dt>
+ <dd>The File Attributes are all the information
+ necessary about a file to identify it and all its properties such as
+ size, creation date, modification date, permissions, etc. Normally, the
+ attributes are handled entirely by Bacula so that the user never
+ needs to be concerned about them. The attributes do not include the
+ file's data.
+
+ <dt>File Daemon</dt>
+ <dd>The daemon running on the client
+ computer to be backed up. This is also referred to as the File
+ services, and sometimes as the Client services or the FD.
+
+ <dt><a name="FileSetDef"></a> FileSet</dt>
+ <dd>A FileSet is a Resource contained in a configuration
+ file that defines the files to be backed up. It consists
+ of a list of included files or directories, a list of excluded files, and
+ how the file is to be stored (compression, encryption, signatures).
+ For more details, see the
+ <a href="rel-manual/director.html#FileSetResource">FileSet Resource definition</a>
+ in the Director chapter of this document.</dd>
+
+ <dt>Incremental</dt>
+ <dd>A backup that includes all files changed since the
+ last Full, Differential, or Incremental backup started. It is normally
+ specified on the <b>Level</b> directive within the Job resource
+ definition, or in a Schedule resourc. </dd>
+
+ <dt><a name="JobDef"></a>Job</dt>
+ <dd>A Bacula Job is a configuration resource that defines
+ the work that Bacula must perform to backup or restore a particular
+ Client. It consists of the <b>Type</b> (backup, restore, verify,
+ etc), the <b>Level</b> (full, incremental,...), the <b>FileSet</b>,
+ and <b>Storage</b> the files are to be backed up (Storage device,
+ Media Pool). For more details, see the
+ <a href="rel-manual/director.html#JobResource">Job Resource definition</a>
+ in the Director chapter of this document. </dd>
+
+ <dt>Monitor</dt>
+ <dd>The program that interfaces to the all the daemons
+ allowing the user or system administrator to monitor Bacula status.</dd>
+
+ <dt>Resource</dt>
+ <dd>A resource is a part of a configuration file that
+ defines a specific unit of information that is available to Bacula.
+ For example, the <b>Job</b> resource defines all the properties of
+ a specific Job: name, schedule, Volume pool, backup type, backup
+ level, ...</dd>
+
+ <dt>Restore</dt>
+ <dd>A restore is a configuration resource that
+ describes the operation of recovering a file (lost or damaged) from
+ backup media. It is the inverse of a save, except that in most
+ cases, a restore will normally have a small set of files to restore,
+ while normally a Save backs up all the files on the system. Of
+ course, after a disk crash, Bacula can be called upon to do
+ a full Restore of all files that were on the system. </dd>
+
+ <dt>Schedule</dt>
+ <dd>A Schedule is a configuration resource that
+ defines when the Bacula Job will be scheduled for
+ execution. To use the Schedule, the Job resource will refer to
+ the name of the Schedule. For more details, see the <a
+ href="rel-manual/director.html#ScheduleResource">Schedule Resource
+ definition</a> in the Director chapter of this document. </dd>
+
+ <dt>Service</dt>
+ <dd>This is Windows terminology for a <b>daemon</b> -- see
+ above. It is now frequently used in Unix environments as well.</dd>
+
+ <dt>Storage Coordinates</dt>
+ <dd>The information returned from the
+ Storage Services that uniquely locates a file on a backup medium. It
+ consists of two parts: one part pertains to each file saved, and the
+ other part pertains to the whole Job. Normally, this information is
+ saved in the Catalog so that the user doesn't need specific knowledge
+ of the Storage Coordinates. The Storage Coordinates include the
+ File Attributes (see above) plus the unique location of the information on
+ the backup Volume. </dd>
+
+ <dt>Storage Daemon</dt>
+ <dd>The Storage daemon, sometimes referred to as
+ the SD, is the code that writes the attributes and data to a storage
+ Volume (usually a tape or disk).</dd>
+
+ <dt>Session</dt>
+ <dd>Normally refers to the internal conversation between
+ the File daemon and the Storage daemon. The File daemon opens a
+ <b>session</b> with the Storage daemon to save a FileSet, or to restore
+ it. A session has a one to one correspondence to a Bacula Job (see
+ above). </dd>
+
+ <dt>Verify</dt>
+ <dd>A verify is a job that compares the current file
+ attributes to the attributes that have previously been stored in the
+ Bacula Catalog. This feature can be used for detecting changes to
+ critical system files similar to what <b>Tripwire</b> does. One
+ of the major advantages of using Bacula to do this is that
+ on the machine you want protected such as a server, you can run
+ just the File daemon, and the Director, Storage daemon, and Catalog
+ reside on a different machine. As a consequence, if your server is
+ ever compromised, it is unlikely that your verification database
+ will be tampered with.
+ <p>Verify can also be used to check that the most recent Job
+ data written to a Volume agrees with what is stored in the Catalog
+ (i.e. it compares the file attributes), *or it can check the
+ Volume contents against the original files on disk. </dd>
+
+ <dt>*Archive</dt>
+ <dd>An Archive operation is done after a Save, and it
+ consists of removing the Volumes on which data is saved from active
+ use. These Volumes are marked as Archived, and many no longer be
+ used to save files. All the files contained on an Archived Volume
+ are removed from the Catalog. NOT YET IMPLEMENTED. </dd>
+
+ <dt>*Update</dt>
+ <dd>An Update operation causes the files on the remote
+ system to be updated to be the same as the host system. This is
+ equivalent to an <b>rdist</b> capability. NOT YET IMPLEMENTED.
+ </dd>
+
+ <dt>Retention Period</dt>
+ <dd>There are various kinds of retention
+ periods that Bacula recognizes. The most important are the
+ <b>File</b> Retention Period, <b>Job</b> Retention Period, and the
+ <b>Volume</b> Retention Period. Each of these retention periods
+ applies to the time that specific records will be kept in the
+ Catalog database. This should not be confused with the time that
+ the data saved to a Volume is valid. <p>The File Retention Period
+ determines the time that File records are kept in the catalog
+ database. This period is important because the volume of the
+ database File records by far use the most storage space in the
+ database. As a consequence, you must ensure that regular
+ "pruning" of the database file records is done. (See
+ the Console <b>retention</b> command for more details on this
+ subject). <p>The Job Retention Period is the length of time that
+ Job records will be kept in the database. Note, all the File
+ records are tied to the Job that saved those files. The File
+ records can be purged leaving the Job records. In this case,
+ information will be available about the jobs that ran, but not the
+ details of the files that were backed up. Normally, when a Job
+ record is purged, all its File records will also be purged. <p>The
+ Volume Retention Period is the minimum of time that a Volume will be
+ kept before it is reused. Bacula will normally never
+ overwrite a Volume that contains the only backup copy of a file.
+ Under ideal conditions, the Catalog would retain entries for all
+ files backed up for all current Volumes. Once a Volume is
+ overwritten, the files that were backed up on that Volume are
+ automatically removed from the Catalog. However, if there is a very
+ large pool of Volumes or a Volume is never overwritten, the Catalog
+ database may become enormous. To keep the Catalog to a manageable
+ size, the backup information should removed from the Catalog after
+ the defined File Retention Period. Bacula provides the
+ mechanisms for the catalog to be automatically pruned according to
+ the retention periods defined. </dd>
+
+ <dt>Scan</dt>
+ <dd>A Scan operation causes the contents of a Volume or a
+ series of Volumes to be scanned. These Volumes with the information
+ on which files they contain are restored to the Bacula Catalog.
+ Once the information is restored to the Catalog, the files contained
+ on those Volumes may be easily restored. This function is
+ particularly useful if certain Volumes or Jobs have exceeded
+ their retention period and have been pruned or purged from the
+ Catalog. Scanning data from Volumes into the Catalog is done
+ by using the <b>bscan</b> program. See the <a href="rel-manual/progs.html#bscan">
+ bscan section</a> of the Bacula Utilities Chapter of this manual
+ for more details.</dd>
+
+ <dt>Volume</dt>
+ <dd>A Volume is an archive unit, normally a tape or
+ a named disk file where Bacula stores the data from one or more
+ backup jobs. All Bacula Volumes have a software label written to
+ the Volume by Bacula so that it identify what Volume it is really
+ reading. (Normally there should be no confusion with disk files,
+ but with tapes, it is easy to mount the wrong one).</dd>
+</dl>
+
+<h3>What Bacula is Not</h3>
+<b>Bacula</b> is a backup, restore and verification program and is not a
+complete disaster recovery system in itself, but it can be a key part
+of one if you plan carefully and follow the instructions included in the <a
+href="rel-manual/rescue.html"> Disaster Recovery</a> Chapter of this manual.
+<p>
+With proper planning, as mentioned in the Disaster Recovery chapter
+<b>Bacula</b> can be a central component of your disaster recovery
+system. For example, if you have created an emergency boot disk, a
+Bacula Rescue disk to save the current partitioning information of your
+hard disk, and maintain a complete Bacula backup, it is possible to
+completely recover your system from "bare metal".
+<p>
+If you have used the <b>WriteBootstrap</b> record in your job or some
+other means to save a valid bootstrap file, you will be able to use it
+to extract the necessary files (without using the catalog or manually
+searching for the files to restore).
+
+<h3>Interactions Between the Bacula Services</h3>
+The following block diagram shows the typical interactions
+between the Bacula Services for a backup job. Each block
+represents in general a separate process (normally a daemon).
+In general, the Director oversees the flow of information. It also
+maintains the Catalog.
