-We have released Bacula Version 5.2.1 to Source Forge
-
- Release Notes for Bacula 5.2.1
-
- Bacula code: Total files = 1,110 Total lines = 231,439 (Using SLOCCount)
-
-General:
---------
-
-This 5.2.1 version is a major release since the last version 5.0.3.
-It includes well over 299,387 lines of changes made by 20 contributors,
-lots of bug fixes (see below), 1,851 software commits,and a
-number of important new features:
-
-Version 5.2.0
--------------
-Version 5.2.0 was short lived, because Marco (thanks) found
-a number of last minute bugs. So the first official release of 5.2
-is 5.2.1.
-
-Compatibility:
---------------
- As always, both the Director and Storage daemon must be upgraded at
- the same time.
-
- Older 5.0.x and 3.0.x File Daemons are compatible with the 5.2.1
- Director and Storage daemons. There should be no need to upgrade older File
- Daemons.
-
-Main New Features:
-------------------
-- LZO Compression
-- New Tray Monitor
-- Purge Migration Job
-- Changes in Bvfs (Bacula Virtual FileSystem)
-- Changes in the Pruning Algorithm
-- Ability to Verify any specified Job
-- Additions to RunScript variables
-- Additions to the Plugin API
-- ACL enhancements
-- XATTR enhancements
-- Class Based Database Backend Drivers
-- Hash List Enhancements
-
-Some of the above are described below; all the above are
-described in more detail in the New Features chapter of the
-manual.
-
-Closed Bugs since 5.0.3:
----------------------
-1389 1444 1448 1466 1467 1468 1476 1481 1486 1488 1493 1494 1497 1499 1501

-
-
-================== Warning !!!!!! ==========================
-
- The new pruning algorithm will not allow pruning of jobs that are essential to
- restore since the last Full backup. This is, of course, correct and desirable,
- but it is different from older Bacula versions that could inappropriately
- prune jobs. Pruning of volumes is not affected.
-
-Building Bat:
--------------
-To build Bat, you need Qt4 version 4.6.2. If you build with any other
-version it is likely not to work. If you do not have version 4.6.2, on
-your system, you can download the Bacula depkgs_qt version 16Dec10.
-
-Packaging the SQL backend:
---------------------------
-The main Bacula Director code is independent of the SQL backend
-in this version. This means that the Bacula Director can be packaged
-by itself, then each of the different SQL backends supported can
-be packaged separately. It is possible to build all the DB backends
-at the same time.
-
-- configure can be run with multiple database configure options.
- --with-sqlite3
- --with-mysql
- --with-postgresql
-
-Order of testing for database is
-- postgresql
-- mysql
-- sqlite3
-
-Each configured backend generates a libbaccats-<backend_name>-<version>.so
-A dummy catalog library is created named libbaccats-version.so
-
-At configure time the first detected backend is used as the so called default
-backend and at install time the dummy libbaccats-<version>.so is replaced with
-the default backend type.
-
-If you configure all 3 backends you get 3 backend libraries and the postgresql
-gets installed as the default. When you want to switch the default you can
-copy one of the 3 backend libraries over the libbaccats-<version>.so e.g.
-
-cp libbaccats-postgresql-<version>.so libbaccats-<version>.so
-
-And update the default backend in the following files:
-
-create_bacula_database
-drop_bacula_database
-drop_bacula_tables
-grant_bacula_privileges
-make_bacula_tables
-make_catalog_backup
-update_bacula_tables
-
-New Catalog format in version 5.2.0 and greater
------------------------------------------------
-This release of Bacula uses a new catalog format. We provide a set of
-scripts that permit to convert a 5.0.x (version 12) catalog to 5.2.1 (version
-14). The Bacula project rpm spec files have been modified to
-detect the database change and do the upgrade for you. We strongly
-recommend that you save a copy of your existing database before upgrading
-using rpms.
-
-The simplest way to upgrade the database assuming you are building from
-source (i.e. manually):
-1. Stop any current version of Bacula from running.
-2. Save a copy of your existing database.
-3. Configure, build, and install the 5.2.1 version of Bacula
- Note the new ./configure options in the manuals see the link
- at the bottom of this file.
-4. cd <your-scripts-installation-directory>
-5. ./update_bacula_tables
-6. If you have multiple catalogs, edit the update_bacula_tables
- script and put the name of another database, and then
- execute the script again. Repeat this until all Bacula
- catalogs have been updated.
-7. Start the new Bacula. If everything worked, it should
- not print any error messages.
-
-If you start from scratch, you don't need to run the update_bacula_tables
-script because the create_bacula_tables script automatically creates the new
-table format. However, if you are using a version of Bacula older than 5.0.0
-(e.g. 3.0.3) then you need to run the update_bacula_tables script that will
-be found in the <bacula>/src/cats directory after you run the ./configure
-command. As mentioned above, before running this script, please backup your
-catalog database, and when you do running it, be sure shutdown Bacula and be
-aware that running the script can take some time depending on your database
-size.
-
-================================================================
-
-Changes:
-
-Speed and Memory Usage Enhancements:
-- Implement LZO compression algorithm (need lzo2 headers to activate this option)
-- New Pruning algoritm -- safer and faster
-- Use of PostgreSQL cursor when doing large queries, should reduce the
- memory usage during restore and accurate backups.
-- limit command in some list commands
-- Bacula Virtual File System for fast catalog access
-- Faster crc32 algorithm
-
-Security Enhancements:
-- Additional security against injection of illegal characters
-- Fix possible fnmatch problem
-
-Features Enhancements:
-- Improvements in ACL and xattr handling on additional platforms:
- AIX, Darwind, FreeBSD, HPUX, IRIX, Solaris, Tru64
-- Tray monitor for Windows
-- New SQL backend and ./configure that permits building multiple catalog
- backends in one build, and has the main Bacula core code totally independent
- of the SQL backend, which should simplify packaging (only the
- libbacsql.so/dll needs to be changed to switch from one database backend
- to another (e.g. MySQL to PostgreSQL).
-- Indent lsmark during restore
-- Disable batch insert config item
-- Director selection option in bconsole
-- restorejob command in bconsole
-- Many additional features for bat such as "brestore" panel
-- The old bat version browser has been turned off since it does not
- work correctly and the brestore panel provides the same functionality
-- Improved hash table for hard links
-- Additional script variable editing such as %b (JobBytes), %F (JobFiles)
- and %h (Client Address)
-
-Other Enhancements:
-- Includes better handling for Windows repares points, mount points, and
- junction points.
-- New database format
-- Many new plugin API features
-- Improved memory handling for restores
-- Significant stability enhancements to bat
-- xattr/ACL restore failure are now printed as Warning
-- A few path name length limits in Windows have been removed.

-This 5.0.3 version is significant bug fix update to version 5.0.2.
-It includes new code and some new features.
-There is no database change since prior versions of 5.0.
-
-Note, if you are running 5.0.0, read the 5.0.1 and 5.0.2 release notes below in
- the 5.0.1 release section.
- Important!!!
-
-Compatibility:
---------------
- As always, both the Director and Storage daemon must be upgraded at
- the same time.
-
- Older 5.0.x and 3.0.x File Daemons are compatible with the 5.0.3

-Bacula Version 5.0.1 has been released to Source Forge
-
-Bacula version 5.0.1 source code and Windows (32/64 bit) binaries have been
-released to Source Forge (thanks Eric).
-
-This is a major bug fix release including a few directives that have been
-rewritten, one new directive, and some different directive behavior (see the
-release notes below). As is usual for a patch release (last digit changes by
-one), this version is compatible with the 5.0.0 database and with prior
-clients. However, you *must* upgrade all components that are on any one
-machine (that is you must upgrade your Director, Storage daemon, and File
-daemon at the same time, if they reside on the same machine).
-
-Note, Bacula does not normally uninstall previous versions, and we have
-changed the shared object naming convention, so you might want to first save
-your configuration files then uninstall the old Bacula using the old Bacula
-uninstall prior to installing the new one. If you do not, it should not be
-serious, but you may be left with some older Bacula shared objects that are
-not used and hence wasting a small amount of disk space.
-
-If you are upgrading from version 3.0.x or prior, please see the full release
-notes as you must do a database upgrade. When updating from 5.0.0 to this
-release there is no database upgrade needed.
-
-Scott has made a number of changes and improvements in the rpm packaging over
-the past few weeks since version 5.0.0 was released, so he will probably be
-releasing the 5.0.1 rpms quite soon.
-
-Thanks for using Bacula :-)
-
-Best regards,
-
-Kern
-
-============= Performance Note ==================
-
-Some of you have encountered performance problems with your
-database (mainly with MySQL) with Bacula version 5.0.0. This is
-mainly because we've changed the SQL query used for restore,
-accurate jobs and base jobs. We have extensively tested this
-change, and though it should be a little bit slower than the previous
-versions, on a well configured database it should run
-extremely well.
-
-We strongly recommend to avoid the temptation to add new indexes.
-In general, these will cause very significant performance
-problems in other areas. A better approch is to carefully check
-that all your MySQL memory configuation parameters are are
-suitable for the size of your installation. If you backup
-millions of files, you need to adapt the database memory
-configuration parameters concerning sorting, joining and global
-memory. By default, sort and join parameters are very small
-(sometimes 8Kb), and having sufficient memory specified by those
-parameters is extremely important to run fast.
-
-If adjusting your MySQL memory configuration values does not
-solve your problem, you can also consider switching to
-PostgreSQL, which performs much better with Bacula on big
-installations (many millions of files per Job). However for
-large installations, you will also need to adjust the default
-PostgreSQL memory configuration parameters.
-

-
- Release Notes for Bacula 5.0.1
-
- Bacula code: Total files = 1,081 Total lines = 217,272 (Using SLOCCount)
-
-!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NOTE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-The Allow Duplicate Jobs directive has been significantly
-reworked, and the default value has changed. See below.
-
-Truncate On Purge has been totally rewritten. See the new
-features section of the manual.
-
-When Volume Poll Interval is set in the SD DEVICE configuration,
-(default 5 mins), after a certain number of polling tries (approx
-10) polling will stop and the operator will be asked to
-resolve the problem. Previously there was no limit, and an
-error message could be produced at each poll attempt.
-!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
-Changes since 5.0.0
--------------------
-- We believe that we have resolved most of the problems
- concerning canceled or failed jobs being "stuck" in the
- Director. There is one outstanding problem in the SD when
- canceling jobs that we will fix in the next major release.
- If you see jobs that seem to be stuck, in general issuing
- a cancel command in bconsole should now make them go away.
-
-Directives:
-- The default for "Allow Duplicate Jobs" has been changed from
- no to yes. If you use this directive, please check your
- conf file, and note the next two items !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-- AllowHigherDuplicates disabled. It did not work as documented
- and was confusing.
-- New directive "CancelLowerLevelDuplicates" See New Features
- section in the manual.
-- Truncate on Purge rewritten. See New Features section in the manual.
-
-Bug fixes:
-1448 1466 1467 1468 1476 1481 1486 1488 1494 1497
-1499 1501 1505 1509 1513
-
-- Ensure SD asks for help when looping even if poll set. Fixes bug #1513.
-- Fix three-pool regress bug
-- Modify bacula.spec fixes bug #1505
-- This version fixes an issue where the console window would start out
- docked. It is fixed by initiating the variables in the Pages class wi
- constructor.

-
-For Packagers:
-1. The default query.sql file is now, except for some comments, empty.
-The old file, which we no longer support (it is impossible or difficult to
-make it work on every backend, and the queries are mostly contributed) can
-be found in <bacula-source>/examples/sample-query.sql. The sample file is
-not installed by the Makefiles
-
-2. When you install the mtx-changer script, you must also install
-mtx-changer.conf if it does not exist. This new file (mtx-changer.conf) is
-required for mtx-changer to work, but it is a user configurable file, so on
-any update, any existing file should not be overwritten.
-
-3. Bat should be built on every platform that is capabable of running Qt.
-However, the Qt code is changing rather quickly and is not always
-compatible from version to version. We have built and verified bat on Qt
-4.3.4. We strongly recommend that you do not build and distribute bat with
-any other version of Qt unless you personally test it. To build against Qt
-4.3.4, download the depkgs-qt package from the Bacula Source Forge download
-location, read the README file and follow the instructions.
-
-If you are building for Bacula version 5.0.0, please ensure that you do not
-have qmake-qt4 loaded on your system. If you do, either remove it or
-rename it before trying to build bat. If you do not, bat will probably be
-built using the shared objects on your system. For Bacula 5.0.1 and later,
-this problem (bug) does not exist.
-
-depkgs-qt does not install Qt on your system, nor does it interfere with
-you having any other version of Qt installed on your system. Once you
-build bat with depkgs-qt, it should *not* use the Qt shared objects, but
-rather they will be linked into the program. After fully installing bat
-(make install), you can run "ldd bat" to see what shared objects it will
-use. If any Qt shared objects are referenced, something has gone wrong.
-
-4. Unless absolutely necessary, we recommend that you do not define any
-special library environment variables that apply to the ./configure -- for
-example: LIBDIR=/... ./configure <your-options> is strongly discouraged.
-Doing so, could potentially cause Bacula to be linked against the wrong
-shared objects.
-
-5. The Bacula project strongly recommends that you install Bacula into a
-single directory, with a few minor exceptions such as the MySQL or
-PostgreSQL databases. Preferrably this should be /opt/bacula. The full

-Obviously, the email, and some of the minor options (mysql, postgresql,
-...) can be changed to suit your distribution, but the directory names
-defined above are strongly recommended, and over time the default values in
-the bacula-dir.conf and bacula-sd.conf will reflect these choices.
-
-If you have any questions about this or would like a detailed document
-describing our recommendations including packaging requirements, please
-send an email to the bacula-devel list.
-
-6. Starting with Bacula version 3.0.0 up to Bacula 5.0.0, the shared
-libraries that Bacula uses by default are named xxx-1.0.0. Starting with
-Bacula 5.0.1, we are going to name the libraries using the Bacula version.
-So in Bacula 5.0.1, the libraries will be named xxx-5.0.1. With future
-versions, the last digit may or may not change when we distribute patch
-updates (i.e. the last digit of the version changes). This will depend on
-whether or not we have changed something in the library. Hopefully this
-new procedure will resolve some of the incompatibility problems between
-different versions of the shared objects.
-
-7. The default build option for bconsole is conio (my own little console
-routines). I did this because some years ago, readline was very difficult
-to maintain -- it and where it was found seemed to change on every release.
-This generated at the time a number of support problems. It seems to me
-that since then there have been very few problems with readline. As a
-consequence, I have no problem if you want to make bconsole with readline
-enabled. It will actually give some very nice new bconsole command
-completion functionality that Eric has written. Bottom line: feel free to
-use readline or not as you please.

-Bacula Version 5.0.0 has been released to Source Forge
-
-Release Numbering:
------------------------------------------------------------
-You might be wondering why this release jumps from 3.0.x to
-5.0.0 thus skipping version 4.0.0. We have done this for
-several reasons: first, we wanted a way of distinguishing
-the numbering system for the Bacula System Enterprise version
-and the Bacula Project version. So, to do so, we have decided
-that the first number of the Bacula Project version will always
-be odd, and the first number of the Enterprise version will always
-be even. Thus the Bacula Project now moves from 3.0.x to 5.0.x.
-In addition, we want to keep the Bacula Project version larger
-than the Enterprise version to indicate that the Bacula Project
-version is more advanced or has more features than the
-Enterprise version. For memory, the current Enterprise version
-is 2.6.1, and the next release (in a few months -- before June 2010)
-will be version 4.0.0.
-
-Warning:
---------------------------------------------------------------
-Please note the three Warnings below before doing any install or
-upgrade.
-
-
-Changes since 3.0.3a (the last Bacula Project release):
--------------------------------------------------------
-
-Bug fixes:
-1337 1351 1352 1354 1357 1361 1367 1369 1370 1373
-1376 1391 1403 1409 1420 1422 1427 1428 1431 1450

- responding to the bsmtp program
- - Restore's dir command shows incorrect file sizes
- - Fix various problems with the reload command
- - Fix problems with conio
- - Eliminate several deadlocks or potential race conditions from SD
-
-Enhancements:
- - Project 5: Truncate volume after purge
- - Project 6: File Deduplication using Base Jobs
- - Project 10: Restore from Multiple Storage Daemons
- - Project 11: AllowCompression per Device
- - Project 23: Add Maximum Concurrent Jobs for Devices to balance load

- - Many ACL improvements
- - Level added to FD status Job entry
- - Allow turning on/off Block Checksum per device
- - Set Device Poll interval to 5 minutes -- previously did not poll
- - Implement lock manager with bad order protection
-
-Compatibility:
-As always, both the Director and Storage daemon must be upgraded at
-the same time, and on any given machine, you must run only one version
-of Bacula. This means that on the Director and Storage daemon machines,
-you *must* upgrade your File daemon as well.
-
-Older 3.0.x and possibly 2.4.x File Daemons are compatible with the 5.0.0
-Director and Storage daemons. There should be no need to upgrade older File
-Daemons immediately. However, we recommend that you do so as soon
-as is reasonable for your situation.
-
-================== Warning !!!!!! ==========================
-
-New Catalog format in version 5.0.0 (3.1.9 or later)
------------------------------------------------------
-
-This release of Bacula uses a new catalog format. We provide a set of
-scripts that permit to convert a 3.0.x (version 11) catalog to 5.0.0 (version
-12). The Bacula project rpms distributed on Source Forge will automatically
-detect the database change and do the upgrade for you. We strongly
-recommend that you save a copy of your existing database before upgrading
-using rpms.
-
-The simplest way to upgrade the database assuming you are building from
-source:
-1. Stop any current version of Bacula from running.
-2. Save a copy of your existing database.
-3. Configure, build, and install the 5.0.0 version of Bacula
- Note the new ./configure options in the manuals see the link
- at the bottom of this file.
-4. cd <your-scripts-installation-directory>
-5. ./update_bacula_tables
-6. If you have multiple catalogs, edit the update_bacula_tables
- script and put the name of another database, and then
- execute the script again. Repeat this until all Bacula
- catalogs have been updated.
-7. Start the new Bacula. If everything worked, it should
- not print any error messages.
-
-If you start from scratch, you don't need to run the update_bacula_tables
-script because the create_bacula_tables script automatically creates the new
-table format. However, if you are using a version of Bacula older than 3.1.9
-(e.g. 3.0.3) then you need to run the update_bacula_tables script that will
-be found in the <bacula>/src/cats directory after you run the ./configure
-command. As mentioned above, before running this script, please backup your
-catalog database, and when you do running it, be sure shutdown Bacula and be
-aware that running the script can take some time depending on your database
-size.
-================================================================
-
-
-================== Warning !!!!!! ==========================
-If you upgrade a previous Win32 client installation, you must
-first stop the File daemon, then uninstall it before attempting
-the upgrade. If you do not do so, the upgrade will probably
-fail and you will need to manually find and run the
-Uninstall.exe file, before you can upgrade to the new version.
-This is because the file locations are different. If you want
-to save your previous bacula-fd.conf file, please do so before
-uninstalling it.
-================================================================
-
-================== Warning !!!!!! ==========================
-Due to permissions problems on Windows Vista and later systems,
-we no longer require SYSTEM or Administrator permissions to
-access the binaries and configuation files. If you wish
-to restrict access to these files, please see the New Features
-section of the manual for how to set access control lists.
-================================================================
-
-Note, the Win32 Installer no longer installs the Bacula Servers
-(Director and Storage daemon). See the New Features section of
-the manual for more details.
-
-============ Documentation improvements needed ==================
-
-Note!!!!! The 5.0.0+ documentation has a number of known problems:
-
-1. We have reduced the number of manuals, which has fixed many
- of the broken links found in the old 3.0.x version, but there
- are still some that need fixing.
-
-2. Integration of the 3.0.x features into the main manuals has
- not yet been done.
-
-The documentation will not be completed in the near future due to lack
-manpower. If you are unhappy with this situation as we are, we suggest
-you help by submitting patches to the documentation. Thanks.
-=====
-
-
-This release includes large number of new features and changes.
-It should be more or less compatible with previous xx.conf files
-and File daemons providing that you are not using any of the new
-features.
-
-Please see the New Features chapter of the new manual, which documents
-some but not all the new features (we are still working on it):
-
-http://www.bacula.org/5.0.x-manuals/en/main/main/New_Features_in_5_0_0.html

-Bacula Version 3.0.1 has been released to Source Forge.
-
-Note, if you are not already running 3.0.0, please read the 3.0.0 release notes. Important!!!
-
-Version 3.0.1 is primarily a minor bug fix update to version 3.0.0 with
-one enhancement (see below).
-
-Changes since 3.0.0:
-Bug fixes:
- 1276, 1274, 1275, 1272 1246, 1268, 1281, 1282.
-
-Fixed:
-- Check for job_canceled() in fd_plugin code.
-- Update Win32 table creation to have new DB version 11 format
-- Remove illegal Options in Exclude of default Win32/64 bacula-dir.conf
-- Remove 'Reposition' messages when restoring
-- Updated projects file
-- Tweak version string to display versionid field at the end
- and keep fields order.
- - Add additional mysql connection debug code submitted by:
- Chandranshu <chandranshu@gmail.com>

-Enhancement:
-- Modify insertion of read Volumes in SD to be done *before* the
- drive reservation. This ensures that a Volume to be read will not
- be reserved for writing. Significant improvement in eliminating
- tape deadlock situations.
-
-Note, both the Director and Storage daemons must be upgraded at the
-same time. The 3.0.1 File daemons are compatible with 3.0.0 file
-daemons and as noted below in the 3.0.0 release notes the Director
-and Storage daemon should be compatible with 2.4.x File daemons.
-In general, we do not expect any of the 3.0.x File daemons to work with older
-Directors and Storage daemons (as has always been the case for Bacula
-releases).
-
-============ Documentation improvements needed ==================
-
-Note!!!!! The 3.0.0+ documentation needs rather extensive modifications in the
-following areas:
-
-1. Missing documentation.
-2. Correction of links within various manuals -- most fail.
-3. Integration of the new features into the main documents.
-4. Much more.
-
-The documentation will not be completed in the near future due to lack
-manpower. If you are unhappy with this situation as we are, we suggest
-you help by submitting patches to the documentation. Thanks.

-Bacula Version 3.0.0 has been released to Source Forge.
-
-This is to inform you that we have uploaded the Bacula version 3.0.0 source
-tar files and the Win32/64 installer files to the Bacula Source Forge
-download location.
-
-There are quite a number of new features in this release, and upgrading to it
-requires a database upgrade, so please read the release notes carefully
-(included below) and the documentation for the new features at:
-
-http://www.bacula.org/manuals/en/concepts/concepts/New_Features.html
-
-There is still a good deal of work to do to finish the release process (mainly
-reorganizing the web site manuals ...), but at least the source files are
-released. The rpms should follow shortly (probably this weekend).
-
-If you are currently using 2.4.4, please note that within a few months that
-version will no longer be supported, so please consider the possibility of
-upgrading.
-
-This release probably has the most new features that we have ever released,
-and it has taken a long time to produce it. The basic code is very well
-tested, and if you stick to 2.4.4 features, you are unlikely to experience
-problems. However, many of the new features have not been well tested, so
-your help will be appreciated.
-
-The following issues with 3.0.0 are known and we are working on them:
-
-1. The documentation is not 100% complete (there are so many new features that
-we missed documenting some).
-
-2. All the new documentation is in the New Features chapter, but not all of it
-has yet been integrated back into the appropriate chapters.
-
-3. James has reported that the Exchange plugin may crash if you cancel a job
-while it is running. He is working on this.
-
-4. The SD has many new features that will make it more stable. One in
-particular is that it knows what Volumes will be read during a migration,
-copy, or Virtual backup job, and will ensure that they are not selected for
-writing (something easy to do if you are using disk files and the same pool
-for reading an writing). However, the day after the release was cut, I found
-a problem with this code that prevents it from working properly during
-certain pre-allocations of the write tape.
-
-5. There is still an outstanding bug report on VSS failing (it seems to be a
-bit of a rare case).
-
-As I previously announced, we will now make 3.0.0 our main release source code
-stream, and we hope to release new version every six months and bug fix
-updates even sooner. To be able to do this, we will support version 2.4.4
-only for a few more months. There after the project will only support the
-most current release ...
-
-This release comprises a lot of work by a lot of different people and many
-contributions. Normally I hesitate to mention particular people or
-contributions because I always forget someone, but since this was such a big
-release, I would like to mention at least the big contributions:

- Release Notes for Bacula 3.0.0
-
- Bacula code: Total files = 520 Total lines = 205,459 (*.h *.c *.in)
-
-The diff between 2.4.4 and 2.5.x is 208,340 lines, so this release
-represents an enormous effort.
-
-This Director and Storage daemon must be upgraded at the same time,
-but they should be compatible with all 2.4.x File daemons, unless you
-use some of the new features that affect the FD. In other words, you should
-not have to upgrade all your File daemons when you upgrade. However, any
-release of version 2.5.40 or greater requires a database upgrade.
-
-================== Warning !!!!!! ==========================
-
-New Catalog format in version 3.0.0 (2.5.40 or later)
------------------------------------------------------
-
-This release of Bacula uses a new catalog format. We provide a set of
-scripts that permit to convert a 2.4.x (version 10) catalog to 3.0.0 (version
-11). The Bacula project rpms distributed on Source Forge will automatically
-detect the database change and do the upgrade for you. We strongly
-recommend that you save a copy of your existing database before upgrading
-using rpms.
-
-The simplest way to upgrad the database assuming you are building from
-source:
-1. Stop any current version of Bacula from running.
-2. Save a copy of your existing database.
-3. Configure, build, and install the 3.0.0 version of Bacula
- Note the new ./configure options in the manuals see the link
- at the bottom of this file.
-4. cd <your-scripts-installation-directory>
-5. ./update_bacula_tables
-6. If you have multiple catalogs, edit the update_bacula_tables
- script and put the name of another database, and then
- execute the script again. Repeat this until all Bacula
- catalogs have been updated.
-7. Start the new Bacula. If everything worked, it should
- not print any error messages.
-
-The upgrade operation will convert the FileId index field of the File table
-from 32 bits to 64 bits. This operation will take TIME and will *temporarily*
-DOUBLE THE SIZE of your catalog. Bacula must be shutdown during this update,
-so, won't be able to run jobs during this period. For example, a 3 million
-files
-catalog will take 2 mins to upgrade on a normal machine. Don't forget to
-backup it before executing the script.
-
-If you start from scratch, you don't need to run the update_bacula_tables
-script because the create_bacula_tables script automatically creates the new
-table format. However, if you are using a version of Bacula older than 2.5.40
-(e.g. 2.4.4) then you need to run the update_bacula_tables script that will
-be found in the <bacula>/src/cats directory after you run the ./configure
-command. As mentioned above, before running this script, please backup your
-catalog database, and when you do running it, be sure shutdown Bacula and be
-aware that running the script can take some time depending on your database
-size.
-
-
-Important New configure options :
-----------------------
-
-This release of Bacula 3.0.0 uses libtool by default
-to generate the Bacula libraries as shared objects rather than
-being directly linked in as in prior versions. This means that
-the Bacula shared objects, must either be in a shared object
-directory known to the loader or they must be in the directory
-where the Bacula binaries are installed. It is also possible
-to explicitly specify the libraries directory on the ./configure
-line (--libdir=/full-path/dir), but this should not be necessary.
-
- ./configure --libdir=<full-path>
-
-If you have problems with libtool or you wish to use the old
-way of building libraries and linking them into Bacula, you
-can do so by disabling libtool on the configure command line with:
-
- ./configure --disable-libtool
-
-During the installation of Bacula 3.0.0, it will now install
-bat help files (if you have configured bat). These files
-are placed in /usr/share/doc/bacula/html by default. If you
-want to put them elsewhere use:
-
- ./configure --htmldir=<full-path>
-
-During the installation of Bacula, it will now install the
-ReleaseNotes, License, technotes, ChangeLog, and similar
-files in /usr/share/doc/bacula by default. If you
-want to put them elsewhere use:
-
- ./configure --docdir=<full-path>
-
-During the installation of Bacula, any plugins will be
-installed in the plugindir, which is by default the
-same as libdir (/usr/lib). You can specify an alternate
-location with:
-
- ./configure --with-plugindir=<full-path>
-
-==============================================================
-
-This release includes large number of new features and changes.
-It should be more or less compatible with previous xx.conf files
-and File daemons providing that you are not using any of the new
-features.
-
-Please see the New Features chapter of the new manual, which documents
-some but not all the new features (we are still working on it):

-Critical 2.4.3-orphaned-jobs.patch released
-We recently found and corrected a serious bug in Bacula that causes jobs to be
-orphaned or "stuck" in the director during the pruning process. Depending on
-what jobs get stuck and how many there are, it could prevent additional jobs
-from running. As best we can tell, this problem occurs only during what could
-be called extreme pruning conditions -- i.e. there are insufficient Volumes
-available for normal operations.
-
-In any case, we recommend that everyone apply the 2.4.3-orphaned-jobs.patch,
-which you can find in the bacula-patches section of the Source Forge download
-area as well as in the directory patches of both the trunk and Branch-2.4 SVN.

-Creation of Bacula Systems SA
-Dear Members of the Bacula Community,
-
-I'm pleased to announce the creation of Bacula Systems S.A., a new company to
-provide professional support and service for Bacula. I believe you will be
-pleased to see how we have married a strong commitment to the ethos of honest
-open source software with the availability of services desired by a wide
-range of Bacula users.
-
-As many of you know, I began work on Bacula in 2000 and released the first
-public version in April 2002 to Source Forge. Although I have personally
-written a very substantial part of the code, I offer sincere thanks to the
-many members of the community who have provided ideas, fixes, testing, and
-contributions of code, without which Bacula would not be what it is today.
-It has been a labor of love and I am pleased that so many people have found
-Bacula useful.
-
-Before telling you more about Bacula Systems, let me reiterate my unfaltering,
-ongoing commitment to open source software and the Bacula open source
-project. The code for Bacula and all future releases will remain available as
-free open source software under the GPL license that I transferred to the
-protection of the Free Software Foundation of Europe. Unlike some other open
-source projects, there will be no separate "enterprise" or proprietary
-version of the Bacula source code. www.bacula.org will continue to be the
-home for Bacula project development.
-
-So, why create Bacula Systems? The company was created to respond to requests
-from users who want professional support with guaranteed levels of service
-and response times. To ensure continuity and the highest level of knowledge
-transfer, I will take the position of Chairman of the Board and Chief
-Technical Officer of Bacula Systems S.A..
-
-Several members of the Bacula community have joined me to start the company.
-The other team members are also strongly dedicated to the spirit of keeping
-Bacula open and free while simultaneously offering commercial services to
-those for whom it is essential in making the decision to deploy Bacula.
-Bacula Systems is self-financed -- the initial capital comes from the
-founders; no outside venture capital was sought or accepted. This means we
-have the power to establish the company's priorities and we can remain
-dedicated to "honest open source". Bacula Systems S.A. is a Swiss company
-with offices in Yverdon-les-Bains, and with branches in France and Germany
-initially. We will open additional branches as business requires.
-
-I will continue to support development of Bacula via bacula.org and the Bacula
-community. Future developments will be in the "community" code base which
-will remain free. Bacula Systems will offer "funded development" to
-customers who wish to accelerate the addition of certain features to Bacula.
-Code developed this way will be contributed to the free distribution and will
-be available to the entire community at no charge. Bacula Systems will
-provide additional fee-based services, including high quality consulting,
-training, documentation and certified binaries.
-
-Our goal in establishing Bacula Systems is to be inclusive of the community,
-and expand it by creating opportunities for members of the Bacula community
-through a well-defined Partner Program. If you provide IT services or
-consulting, the Bacula Systems Partner Program can provide you with the
-additional back-up (pardon the pun) support you need to serve your customers
-more effectively.
-
-Our plan is to develop an international network of partners who offer high
-value added services to Bacula users -- installing, configuring and optimizing
-Bacula for their customers, as well as Level 3 and 4 support, with guaranteed
-service levels. We will also provide training and tools to our partners.
-
-The Bacula project website, www.bacula.org, and Source Forge will be unchanged
-in the mission and ideals of being free sources of information, mail lists
-and forum-based support for and by the community. Both Bacula source code and
-Bacula binaries will continue to be available for free, as in the past, and
-new releases will also be available for free. The new commercial website,
-www.baculasystems.com will provide information on commercial subscriptions
-for those users who want guaranteed levels of service, support, documentation
-and certified binaries.
-
-All members of the Bacula community are encouraged to register for free at
-www.baculasystems.com, so that you will receive announcements and news about
-our commercial activities, and so that you can send feedback to our new
-company, Bacula Systems.
-
-Thank you for your interest and participation in the Bacula community.
-
-Sincerely,
-
-Kern Sibbald

-Bacula version 2.4.3 Released
-This is to let you know that the source tar files and the Win32 binaries for
-Bacula version 2.4.3 have been released to the Bacula Source Forge download
-area.
-
-Release 2.4.3
- This is a bug fix to version 2.4.2. All daemons are compatible
- with other 2.4.x versions.
-
-Bugs Fixed:
- 1159, 1162. 1149, 1128, 1143, 1140, 1129
-
-Change Summary:
-- Apply 2.4.2-cancel-non-running-jobs.patch to be able to cancel
- a non created job faster.
-- This should correct bug #1159 where Migration does not properly
- respect the Migration Low Bytes directive.
-- Fix typo in configure.in that breaks --with-db-password option
-- This code should fix the race condition that leads to a Director
- crash at job end time when the job list is updated. This was reported
- in bug #1162.
-- Remove all double quotes from SQLite creating script and
- replace by single quotes as suggested by John Huttley.
-- Fix SQL case problem that may cause the failure of DiskToCatalog
- in bug #1149.
-- Copy missing storage name into edit buffer. As far as I can tell
- this never caused a bug.
-- Remove catalog dependency for bcopy
-- Modify catalog scripts to have an easier packaging integration,
- using default variables.
- Make difference between SQLite3 and SQLite in db_get_type()
-- Attempt to fix bug #1128 InChanger flag cleared during Migration
- job when reading from one autochanger and writing to another.
-- Add more information to SD acquire.c INFO messages.
-- Fix NULL Volume name error when reading and the drive must
- be switched.
-- Fix a Verify InitCatalog problem where in certain cases
- a garbage filename may be entered in the verification database. This
- fixes bug #1143.
-- Add space after version before date in bat about dialog.
-- Fix seg fault in Dir during estimate command with no level value
- given. This fixes bug #1140.
-- Add message to migration job when the target job is already migrated.
- This closes bug #1129.
-
-Unless some really serious new bug shows up, this will be the last release
-until the next major version (3.0.0), which we hope will be ready around the
-end of the year.

-Bacula version 2.4.2 Released
-This is to inform you that we have released the source and Win32 binaries of
-Bacula version 2.4.2 to the Bacula Source Forge download area.
-
- This is an important bug fix release since version 2.4.1.
-
-Bugs Fixed:
- 1034, 1125, 1118, 1124, 1107, 1129, 1126
-
-Change Summary:
-26Jul08
-- When a migration job actually runs, re-check the Job record
- and skip if the job is already migrated. This should
- significantly reduce the problems with bug #1129.
-- Break the do_swapping into do_unload, do_swapping, and
- do_load. It is much more logical that way.
-- Implement a set_dcr_from_vol subroutine in acquire.c for
- reading volumes. This allows the dcr to be refreshed after being
- zapped when the wrong volume is mounted. This should fix bug #1126 -
-- During multiple tape restore, bacula
- does not ask for physical tape change, but rereads same tape
-- Apply patch submitted for bug #1107 with a small modification.
- This fixes a bug where bcopy copied too many records.
-- Make some tweaks to bsmtp based on patch submitted in bug #1124.
- This fixes bug #1124.
-- Make the default bat restore Pool be Any. This fixes bug #1118.
-- Fix bug #1125 which reports a SD crash at the end of a tape
- during restore. It was a debug statement that should not be
- in a release.
-- Fix #1034 by setting big timeout on mysql connections
-- Do partial integration of the Win32 bat build created by Eric.
-- Ensure that SD tried to mount a volume not in an autochanger
- at least once before asking for operator intervention.
-- Fix a pthreads bug in the Win32 pthreads emulation code affects only
- version 2.5.x and above.

-Bacula version 2.4.1 Released
-This is to inform you that we have released the source and Win32 binaries of
-Bacula version 2.4.1 to the Bacula Source Forge download area.
-
-Bugs Fixed:
- 1103, 1100, 1105, 1094, 1109, 1106, 1101, 1102, 1112
- 1117, 1116, 1097.
-
-Change summary:
-- Clear in-use bit on vol when unused while swapping.
-- Remove sleep at end of ./bacula
-- Clear hash packet for hardlinked files correctly. This corrects
- a long standing bug where hardlinked files selected individually
- would occasionally not be restored.
-- Apply Eric's patch to ensure that autoprune does not return
- a Volume not in the autochanger unless requested to do so.
-- Correct bat restore display of multiple drives. This fixes
- bug #1117.
-- Do find_a_volume() each time an unload is done. This
- fixes the failure of maxvol2-test.
-- Use Qmsg() in job.c watchdog callback.
-- Release main control rwlock if ABORTing.
-- Make watchdog connect timeout queue messages rather than sending
- directly to avoid lock conflicts with the real thread.
-- Remove const char that causes problems with Python, which has
- older 'incorrect' headers.
-- Add const char in dbd.c to avoid compiler warnings.
-- Fix mtx-changer to detect both versions of Ubuntu (Debian)
- mt. This fixes bug #1116.
-- Fix failure of 2drive-concurrent-test. Always read label;
- clear_unload() only after drive is defined in acquire_for_read().
-- Generally clean up the manual tape loading code. The main
- conceptial change is that when a volume is marked to be unloaded,
- its volume name is retained, and it is only marked as unloaded
- when either the autoloader says it is unloaded or another tape
- is read on that drive.
-- Fix a recycling problem with two autochangers reported in bug
- #1106. This may also (unlikely) fix a second recycling bug as
- reported in #1103.
-- Fix a SD lock volumes deadlock problem reported in bug #1100.
-- Fix format problem in bscan output reported in bug #1105.
-- Copy more data when restarting a job so that run
- overrides are kept. This should fix bug #1094.
-- Backport updates to jobq.c where possible.
-- Fix bug where SD did not ask operator if the device could not
- be opened. Reported by Eric.
-- Add dbuser to DIR conf file (replaces user).
-- Add --with-db-password to ./configure
-- Fix regress to handle db_password.
-- Fix a couple of pedantic compiler warnings.
-- Fix bug when starting a restore on a storage that doesn't
- have the requested MediaType.
-- More work on word alignments -- eliminate all ints from
- the configuration routines.
-- Fix bug reported by Scott Barninger where the bacula script
- refers to scripts in the wrong directory. Needed to meet the
- requirements of recent FHS location changes.
-- Fix word alignment problem on non-Intel 64 bit machines
- such as Solaris. This should fix bug #1097 -- bus error in SD.
-- Add missing win32/patches/wxWidgets.patch to 2.4 repository.

-Bacula version 2.4.0 Released
-This is to inform you that we have released the source and Win32 binaries of
-Bacula version 2.4.0 to the Bacula Source Forge download area.
-
-This release consists mainly of a number of bug fixes since 2.2.x
-but most importantly, a rewrite of significant portions of the
-Storage daemon reservation and autochanger code. This rewritten
-code is simpler, more stable, and works much better, particularly
-with multiple drive autochangers than the prior code did. That
-said, there are still a number of issues to be resolved. Note,
-the new code has not been tested in manual volume mount situations.
-
-As usual, we strongly recommend when installing to keep the Director and the
-Storage daemon on the same version. However, since this release only
-contains refactored code and bug fixes rather than new features, the clients
-(File daemons) should function perfectly with any 2.2.x version, and there is
-no database upgrade needed.
-
-=====================================================
-
- Release Notes for Bacula 2.4.0
-
- Bacula code: Total files = 500 Total lines = 188,654 (*.h *.c *.in)
-
-This Director and Storage daemon must be upgraded at the same time,
-but they should be compatible with all 2.0.x File daemons, unless you
-use some of the new features that affect the FD. In other words, you should
-not have to upgrade all your File daemons when you upgrade. There is
-no database upgrade needed from version 2.0.x to 2.2.0 nor from version
-2.2.x to version 2.4.0
-
-================== Warning !!!!!! ==========================
-As of Version 2.4.0, the Win32 FD should not descend into
-any reparse point directory or reparse mount points unless the
-specified directory is explicitly mentioned at the top level of
-FileSet (as with Unix). A file that is linked to another file will
-be backed up, much like Unix hardlinked files. If you want
-reparse directories backed up, you must explicitly include them
-in your FileSet.
-======================================================
-
-This release consists mainly of a number of bug fixes since 2.2.x
-but most importantly, a rewrite of significant portions of the
-Storage daemon reservation and autochanger code. This rewritten
-code is simpler, more stable, and works much better, particularly
-with multiple drive autochangers than the prior code did. That
-said, there are still a number of issues to be resolved. Note,
-the new code has not been tested in manual volume mount situations.
-
-Bugs fixed:
- 1095, 1086, 1091, 1070, 1041, 1083, 1078, 1066, 1068, 1038
- 1062, 1065, 1046, 1047, 1031
-
-New features:
-- You can now build bat without the QWT libraries. Use
- --without-qwt as a ./configure option.
-
-Release Version 2.4.0
-- Update version to 2.4.0 to reflect the magnitude of the SD changes.
-- Make sure to clear JS_WaitMedia when operator mounts a Volume.
- This fixes bug #1095.
-- Add create_postgresql_database.sql to Win32 installer. Should
- fix problem reported by Juilio Monteiro.
-- Get correct slot when auto unloading a device. This fixes bug
- #1086.
-- Fix possible seg fault if SQL error.
-- Fix renaming a Volume, which used the wrong Volume name.
-- If operator has rewind tape, print warning, release tape and
- try once more. If tape is positioned somewhere, something went
- wrong, so mark the tape in error and try once more. Previously
- this error was fatal, now it produces an error message.
-- Ensure correct volume name displayed during restore
-- Fix a few more Coverity reported problems.
-- Fix #1091 about bad output in estimate command.
-- Modify autochanger locking to attempt to avoid race
- conditions.
-- Make sure device not busy before doing label command.
-- Display open() errors except when polling. Previously too
- many were suppressed. This should fix bug #1070.
-- Fix Win32 reparse points. Bacula will not recurse into any
- reparse point directory, including mount points, unless the
- directory is explicitly mentioned at the top level (same as
- with Unix). A file that is linked to another file will be
- backed up -- much as Unix does for hardlinked files.
- This fixes bug #1041.
-- Remove StorageId test when pruning and recycling (Eric's changes).
-- Fix buffer overruns detected by Coverity.
-- Implement --without-qwt
-- Fix layout of restore tree dialog
-- Add configure bat QWT libraries, so that bat can be built
- with or without the QWT libaries.
-- Implement regression that explicitly tests swapping a Volume
- from one drive to another.
-- Enhance disk-changer to detect most error conditions.
-- Fix SD code so that it properly swaps a Volume between drives.
- This fixes bug #1083.
-- Prevent a Volume that is being swapped from being freed from
- the volume list. This will most likely fix, at least partially,
- bug #1083.
-- Fix strippath so that it does not get a buffer overrun and crash FD.
- This fixes bug #1078.
-- Make inability to change owner/group when creating a dir only a
- warning rather than an error.
-- Fix SQL query in migration code
-- Fix bat seg fault at termination.
-- Add Bacula generated version to bat about box.
-- Backport development stream SD reservation system changes.
-- When wrong volume is mounted during read, unload_autochanger.
-- Stop searching for Volumes in SD askdir if DIR returns the
- same volume name twice in a row.
-- Rework class structures for VOLRES, DCR, and DEVICE to make
- the method names a bit more logical, and for more logically
- handling the responsibilities.
-- Remove redundant code in terminating the scheduler that just
- causes a seg fault in many cases.
-- Improve algorithm for detecting pre-reserved volume and
- swapping volumes.
-- Prevent volume from being released while being swapped.
-- Refactor parts of stored/mount.c
-- Add sanity checks for VolWriteTime and VolReadTime
-- Take care of bad clock changes while computing VolWriteTime
- and VolReadTime. This should fix or limit #1066
-- Correct error string numbers in dird/catreq.c
-- Restructure reserving, acquiring, and mounting volumes. Calls to
- autochanger are deferred for mount.c -- simplifes the code.
-- Do not prune any running job. It just fails the job.
-- Lock the volumes when changing dev->reserved_device and marking
- the volume unused otherwise the device can get reserved by
- another job before the volume is released, thus blocking it.
-- Correct some SD catalog request error messages.
-- Turn off code in read_record that causes a seg fault in the SD
- when reading past an EOS_LABEL.
-- Turn off unloading the autochanger in reserve.c as it just
- causes problems.
-- Lock volumes when unreserving a device.
-- Do not mark volume unused when recycling.
-- Fix bug #1068 fixes a SD crash when using Virtual autochanger.
-- Generate correct JobMedia records during spooling/despooling when
- running concurrent jobs. Thanks to Tom Ivar Helbekkmo
- <tih@hamartun.priv.no> for excellent analysis and testing.
-- *Massive* commit of all fixes and back ports to create 2.2.9
- Mostly SD reservations enhancements.
-- Fix Win32 FD backup/restore memory leak due to improper termination
- of BackupRead/Write. This fixes bug# 1038.
-- Fixes a StorageId problem with volumes after migration.
-- Implements autostart scripts for Debian
-- Fix mtx-changer.in for broken Debian mt program.
-- Apply doc fix from bug #1062.
-- Resolve crash and improper restore wx-console Win32 restore
- GUI. Fixes bug #1065.
-- Update Win32 wxWidgets to latest version.
-- Attempt to do correct handling of Win32 mount points. Should
- fix bug #1046.
-- Add const to AIX prototype for initgroups()
-- Fix to the JobMedia patch, which introduced a new problem.
-- Fix creating first JobMedia record during Migration to include
- proper index. This caused slow restores of migrated jobs.
-- Fix bug #1047, do not strip paths on symbolic links.
-- Set catalog backup database and user name from values specified on
- the ./configure line.
-- Apply patch to correct bug #1031, about wrong pool source information
- in job report.

-A serious data loss bug in Bacula version 2.2.4 found and fixed
-
-This bug was very elusive and time consuming to track down. It
-turned out to be a race condition that can lose the last one or
-two blocks of a Job, which can happen in rare cases only when
-running multiple simultaneous jobs when a volume fills and one
-Job finishes receiving the last data from the FD and at the same
-time a second job detects the end of the Volume. The bug was
-introduced in version 2.0.0 and did not exist in version 1.38.x.
-If the bug is triggered, the data is lost (not written to the
-Volume), and it can occur for any backup job of any level under
-the conditions noted above.
-
-The bug is reported in the bugs database as bug #964, and just
-this morning I found and tested a fix, which is attached as a patch
-to the bug report. The patch (2.2.4-lost-block.patch) is also
-uploaded to the bacula-patches 2.2.x release area. This bug may
-also be part of the problems reported in bug #935 and possibly
-#903.
-
-Also in the bacula-patches 2.2.x area, you will find other
-patches that fixes bugs #953, 966, 967, 965, 958, 908, and
-955. Please refer to bugs.bacula.org for the details.
-
-Though this bug quite serious (data loss), it should be rare.
-However, we recommend everyone to apply the patch.

-
-- Possible fix for authorization problems bug #953.
-- Possible fix for bug #908.
-- Add waits to multiple exit detection code to try to force pid
- file to always be deleted.
-- Restore good dev.tar.gz to rescue set appropriate binary property.

-- Fix seg fault in error exit of acquire_for_read after unsuccessfully
- trying to switch drives by checking for blocking before unblocking.
- Fixes bug #906.
-- Cancel storage daemon in all cases where FD reports error. This
- should fix virtually all cases of bug #920 and will ensure that Devices
- are released as soon as possible.
-- Fix error message that was clobbered when Dir tells SD it does not
- have write permission on Volume. This should fix a minor point
- in bug #942, but not the main problem.
-- Fix migration code to get correct Volume name with multiple volumes
- by skipping |. Fixes bug #936.
-- Implement patch supplied by Landon to fix bug #944 where using
- TLS with bconsole uses 99+% of the CPU.
-- Fix bug #946 about "bacula-dir -t" which doesn't works
- as expected.
-- Using "m" in bconsole will show messages as in prior versions
- and not memory usage.
-
-- Note, you need GTK >= 2.10 to be able to link the Tray Monitor
- program.

-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.
-
-For the technical details of the bug, please see:

-
-Bacula Version 2.2.0 has been released to Source Forge.
-
- Release Notes for Bacula 2.2.0
-
- Bacula code: Total files = 520 Total lines = 195,550 (*.h *.c *.in)
- 82 new files, 41,221 new lines of code, 208,380 lines of change from 2.0.3
-
-This Director and Storage daemon must be upgraded at the same time,
-but they should be compatible with all 2.0.x File daemons, unless you
-use some of the new features that affect the FD. In other words, you should
-not have to upgrade all your File daemons when you upgrade. There is
-no database upgrade needed from version 2.0.x to 2.2.0.
-
-Areas requiring caution or testing:
-- You must have the thread safe version of MySQL client libraries loaded
- to build with MySQL enabled.
-- Volumes are pruned only when absolutely necessary -- this may cause
- your database to grow compared to prior Bacula versions.
-- Solaris door and even port files are no longer restored (equivalent
- to what we do with sockets).
-- SQLite is no longer supported for Solaris -- it fails too often with
- bus errors. SQLite3 should work on Solaris.
-- The default setting for SQLite3 is now 'PRAGMA synchronous=OFF'.
- This makes it run 30 times faster, but increases the possiblity
- of a corrupted database if your server shuts down unexpectedly.
- The default behavior can be changed in src/version.h
-- Restore on Win32, and in particular on Vista is untested. Please
- test before relying on it. It should backup and restore reparse
- points.
-- Win32 servers are untested, and very likely not to work.
-
-The major new features are:
-- Much faster insertion of attributes (somewhere around 10 times),
- many thanks to Eric Bollengier and Marc Cousin.
-- First release of bat (Bacula Administration Tool). Note to build
- bat you must explicitly enable it on the ./configure line, you
- must have the Qt4 version 4.2 or later libraries loaded, the qwt
- (Qt Graphics) package loaded, and qmake and the other Qt4 tools
- must be available. Most of the implementation was done by Dirk Bartley.
-- Red/Black restore in memory tree (500 times faster loading).
-- The Regex Where code to allow easier relocation of restored files
- thanks to Eric.
-- Socket level heartbeat for all connections (untested).
-- posix_fadvise() use in the FD to improve performance reduces
- swapping due to opening/reading lots of files. Win32 equivalent
- implemented.
-- Much improved Volume reservation code that should eliminate most
- conflicts experienced in multiple drive autochangers.
-- Simpler locking in the SD in the reservation system.
-- Detection of file size/date change during backup if enabled.
-- New Recycle Pool feature -- thanks to Eric.
-- Efficient implementation of very large include/exclude lists.
-- Volumes are no longer pruned during 'status dir'
-- Pruning is now more efficient, and if a Volume is purged,
- during pruning, it is immediately discovered.
-- License is now GPL v2 without modifications, fix a few copyright
- mistakes made when adding FSFE copyright notice.
-
-New ./configure options:
-- --enable-bwx-console
-- --enable-bat
-- --with-qwt=
-- --with-db-name=
-- --with-db-user=
-- --enable-batch-insert
-
-New bconsole commands:
-- exec
-- memory
-- update recyclepool
-- .sql
-- .api
-- .pwd (in restore tree)
-- restoreclient (keyword)
-- backupclient (keyword)
-- regexwhere (keyword)
-- update jobid (new command)
-- recyclepool (keyword)
-
-New directives:
-- Heartbeat Interval (bconsole.conf)
-- Heartbeat Interval (bacula-dir.conf in Director, Client, Storage)
-- TLS Allowed CN (bacula-dir.conf in Client)
-- Regex Where (bacula-dir.conf in Job)
-- Strip Prefix (bacula-dir.conf in Job)
-- Add Prefix (bacula-dir.conf in Job)
-- Add Suffex (bacula-dir.conf in Job)
-- Recycle Pool (bacula-dir.conf in Pool)
-- FailJobOnError (bacula-dir.conf in RunScript)
-- CheckFileChanges (bacula-dir.conf in FileSet)
-- StripPath (bacula-dir.conf in FileSet)
-
-Other features or bug fixes:
-- Fixed bugs: 916, 910, 917, 914, 906, 907,
- 842, 830, 893, 861, 888, 886, 807, 877, 872
- 885, 887, 864, 874, 882, 881, 863, 859,
- 856, 854, 845, 847, 846, 809, 772,
- 822, 825, 824, 808, 802, 797, 798, 795, 789, 791,
- 788, 780, 763, 782, 612, 767, 775, 621, 772, 764,
- 766, 621, 761, 755, 750, 741, 747, 742, 744, and 743.
-- Configure bat with --enable-bat. Define qwt libraries with
- --with-qwt=<dir>. See Installation chapter of manual for details.
-- Create a depkgs-qt package that has both Qt4 and qwt, which are
- needed to build bat. Most modern Linux systems will have both
- these packages in the distro.
-- Storage overrides delete all previous storage definitions instead
- of prepending.
-- One should be able to mount and unmount removable devices if the
- Device resource has Removeable Media set and the mount and unmount
- directives are defined.
-- ./configure will do a better job of searching for qwt libraries.
-- The Win32 version can no longer be shutdown from the tray monitor.
- Use the command line or the Services panne.
-- Keep prune_volumes() from pruning the whole Scratch pool.
-- More debug output in status storage.
-- Correct moving a Scratch volume from pool to pool (some
- critical columns were lost).
-- Different locking in reservations and despooling systems,
- which means more micro-locking and less macro-locking, which
- should give a lot more concurrency at the expense of slightly
- (<0.1%) more overhead due to more locking/unlocking, but
- concurrent jobs should run much faster.
-- Additional drive reservation algorithm that should solve a lot of
- the problems experienced with multiple drive autochangers.
-- Storage daemon status command enhanced to more clearly show Volume,
- pool and media type when a job is waiting.
-- Made bsmtp work with more strict SMTP servers.
-- Detect doubly freed buffers in smartall.c
-- wx-console renamed to bwx-console (Fedora request)
-- gnome-console renamed to bgnome-console (Fedora request)
-- Migration preserves original job's FileSetId
-- Spooling implemented for migration jobs.
-- Config files can be read through a pipe, by specifying a leading |
- in front of the configuration path/filename.
-- New memory command (bconsole) that will print the current Director's
- memory usage, and an in use buffer dump.
-- Console name changed from *Console* to -Console- to accomodate Win32
- filename restrictions.
-- Corrected the Win32 ftruncate bug.
-- Additional version information added to Job reports.
-- New -8 option for bsmtp to specify UTF-8 encoding type.
-- bsmtp will no longer add < > to target (from, to, cc) if there
- is already a < in the target.
-- Prefer Mounted Volumes extended to mean a volume that is being
- mounted by another job.
-- Runscript timing set to same as version 1.38.11
-- New TLS Allowed CN directive(s) permitted.
-- New bconsole 'exec' command to run external script/command.
-- Turn on FreeBSD/OpenBSD code to set EOT model on tape.
-- Drop from root done before database is opened.
-- Database user and name can be configured with:
- --with-db-name=name --with-db-user=user
-- Turn on wait_for_drive in mtx-changer script.
-- Rework how bar codes are handled in mtx-changer script.
- This appears to have been an unreported bug.
-- Updated nagios plugin supplied by Christian Masopust
-- Better restricted console ACL checking.
-- New Client Connect Wait directive in Storage daemon so that
- users can configure how long SD waits for FD connection.
-- Bacula will no longer permit pruning of the currently running
- job (note, if other jobs are running, they may be pruned).
-- Sockets are no longer restored.
-- dbcheck works in 300K chunks so will typically run faster.
-- Include/Exclude lists can now be efficiently handled for quite
- large sizes -- tens of thousands of entries.
-- Several memory leaks in migration and database usage were fixed.
-- New console keyword restoreclient, which specifies the client to
- which the restore will be sent. The client keyword specifies
- the backup client. The restoreclient keyword is optional if it is
- not specified, the backup client will also be the restore client.
-- The disk file size is now checked to ensure that it agrees with the
- catalog value before Bacula will append to the disk (same as tape
- and DVD).

- in bug #791.
-26Feb07
-kes Correct SQLite log table index as reported by Luca Berra.
-24Feb07
-ebl Fix FIFO stuff, bacula tries to rewind the FIFO... Thanks to Andreas
-22Feb07
-kes Fix a few places in lib/message.c where the open fd may
- not be zeroed.
-21Feb07
-kes Add LANG=C to autoconf/randpass so it works with languages other
- than English. Fixes bug #788.
-20Feb07
-ebl Revert ClientRunBeforeJob as it was in 1.38.x
- This fixes bug #780
- You will not be able to generate Include/Exclude list any more.
- If you want to use this, you can apply
- trunk/bacula/patches/testing/clientrunbeforejob_can_generate_include_exclude_list.patch
-19Feb07
-kes Restore of sockets created false error messages because Bacula
- no longer restores sockets, but the code was still trying to
- set the attributes on a non-existent file. Reported by a user.
-16Feb07
-kes Fix encryption deblocking bug, which caused some restored files
- to be truncated. This fixes bug #763. This is a CRITICAL bug fix.
-kes Add FD event sequence order prepared by Eric -- for RunScripts.
-kes Fix 12am/pm bug as reported in bug #782.
-15Feb07
-kes Add quick disconnect FD code from 2.1.4 to 2.0.3. This code
- causes the SD to release the FD as soon as the FD has sent
- all the data to the SD. After that the SD will do any final
- despooling (data and attributes) that are necessary. This

- (i.e. migration jobs).
-kes Free up the unique jobid chain items in migrate.c. This fixes
- a memory leak problem.
-kes Convert some ugly looking for statements to use foreach_alist
- in findlib/find.c. This will facilitate converting the structures
- to use dlist (for large include/exclude lists).
-kes Fix a bug in the btree.c and btree.h routines, then rename them
- rblist and add them to be built in src/lib. Include some new
- methods written by Rudolf Cejka that make the code more readable
- (hides some of the ugly casting).
-26Jan07 (back port)
-kes Implement item #12 on project list -- quick release of FD by
- the SD. This is noted in more detail above.

- Release Notes for Bacula 2.0.0
-
- Bacula code: Total files = 438 Total lines = 154,329 (*.h *.c *.in)
-
-==== IMPORTANT Catalog update required =====
-- The database format has been updated from what was used in
- Bacula 1.38.x. You must manually update your database before
- running Bacula 1.39.x or higher. If you are using Bacula supplied
- RPMs this is not necessary as the RPM does it automatically.
- Please backup your previous version of the database before
- running the update. The update script will be automatically
- installed in your scripts directory, or can also be found in
- <bacula-source>/src/cats. It is called:
-
- ./update_bacula_tables
-
- It is necessary to run it only once the first time you move to
- a 2.0.0. Upgrading the Bacula version thereafter does not
- require updating the database again. Depending on the size of
- your database the script make take a bit of time, to run, but
- in general, it should be very fast.
-
-==== IMPORTANT new Win32 install procedure =====
- For Win32 migrations from versions prior to 1.39.0 nothing special
- needs to be done to upgrade. Everything should be taken care of
- automatically. The only thing not done is to delete the old C:\bacula
- directory mostly out of paranoia.
-
-==== IMPORTANT miscellaneous ====
-- The Gnome console program (gconsole) no longer functions as it
- should.More importantly, in restore mode, the restore tree is
- no longer shown in the left pane. I suspect this is due to
- incompatible changes in the GTK+ API, and hence have given up
- on gnome and gtk+, as this has already happened several times
- previously. At some point there will be a new GUI console.
-- The bacula-dir.conf directive Accept Any Volume has been
- removed because it was never implemented. You must delete all
- occurrence of this directive for the Director to run. The Storage
- daemon will automatically accept any valid Volume that you mount.
-- The --mandir ./configure option now points to the top level man
- directory. The man files will be installed under mandir/man8 and
- mandir/man1 as appropriate.
-- You *should* be able to use 1.38.x FDs with version 2.0.0 Director
- and SD providing you do not use any of the new features (runscript,
- data encryption). It seems to work here, but we do not guarantee it.
-- Your Director and SD must be simultaneously upgraded.
-- The restore command no longer uses the MediaType as the primary method
- of finding a suitable Storage device. Normally it will select the last
- device used to write a Volume. If no storage device is defined, it
- will use the old algorithm which selects the first Storage resource
- with the correct MediaType.
-- The MD5/SHA1 hash codes kept in the database are now kept in a binary
- format compatible with the rest of the world. If you are running verify
- jobs, you *must* do an InitCatalog or all files will show an MD5
- difference. Also, authentication uses the new algorithm by
- default, but *should* accept connections from older components (FD) using
- the old non-compatible algorithm. This has been tested, but more
- more testing is still needed.
-- A stock SuSE 10.1 kernel may crash when Bacula runs and accesses
- the tape drive. Workaround, load the SuSE 10.1 version 2.6.16.21-0.25
- kernel or later. The SuSE 10.2 Alpha 5 or later kernel also works.
- This problem may also be present in certain Fedora FC5 kernels.
-- If you have been using the data encryption feature of 1.39.x, please
- be aware that certain combinations of encryption and other options
- with version 1.39.0 through 1.39.26 created Volume data that cannot
- be restored. We strongly recommend that anyone using encryption
- carefully review his/her backups and at a minium do a Full backup
- with 1.39.28 of all encrypted data. Robert Nelson has identified
- and fixed it as follows:
- As of 1.39.27:
- No filters = Works fine
- Sparse = Works fine
- Compression = Works fine
- Encryption = Works fine
- Sparse + Compression = Works fine
-
- Sparse + Encryption = Restore broken
- Sparse + Compression + Encryption = Restore broken
- Compression + Encryption = Restore broken
-
- As of 1.39.28:
- Most combinations work, but some encrypted files are
- not properly restored.
-
- As of 1.39.30:
- All combinations work fine except Sparse+Encryption.
-
- Bottom line, if you are using data encryption, please test restoring
- data to be sure it all works correctly.
-- The current Volume format written by 1.39.22 is different from
- the format written by previous versions. The two formats
- are not compatible. Thus any DVDs written prior to 1.39.22 will
- be unreadable by version 1.39.22.
-- If you previously run a Bacula version prior to 1.39.30, the JobMedia
- data may not be correct for disk Volumes. This can cause incorrect
- seeking in versions after 1.39.30. If you experience what appears to
- be data I/O or integrity errors during restores, please add the
- following directive to your disk DEVICE resource in the Storage
- daemon conf file:
-
- Block Positioning = no
-
- This will turn off all seek requests during restores and avoid
- this problem.
-- VSS for Windows clients is now enabled by default.
-- Do not unload autochanger when doing "update slots"
-- Implement mount command for autochanger, see manual.
-
-New Features in 2.0.0:
-- Turn on disk seek code for restores.
-- There is a partial but reasonable translation of the Bacula
- messages for French. To install it, first configure and build
- Bacula, then as root run:
-
- cd <bacula-source>/po
- make install
-
- If you have your locale set properly you will get the translated
- messages.
-- Bacula now support Migration jobs that are documented in a new
- Migration chapter in the manual
- http://www.bacula.org/dev-manual/Migration.html
-- Data encryption is now implemented and is documented in
- a new chapter of the manual at:
- http://www.bacula.org/dev-manual/Bacula_Data_Encryption.html
-- Additional support for removable devices. See the
- Requires Mount, Mount Point, Mount Command, and Unmount
- Commands in the Storage daemon configuration chapter:
- http://www.bacula.org/dev-manual/Storage_Daemon_Configuratio.html
- Also see the Edit Codes for Mount and Unmount Directives in the
- same chapter.
-- Switch the Win32 build from using Microsoft C++ to using mingw32
- cross-compiling. The initial work was done by Howard Thomson,
- then tweaked by me. Robert Nelson then totally reworked the
- cross-compiling code so that it not only cross-compiles, but
- also compiles on Visual Studio, and at the same time, he added
- all the current Unix features to the FD, such as selection on
- drives, encryption support, building *all* the tools, ...
-- The Director and Storage daemon have now been ported to Win32.
- This code is working but should still be tested carefully
- before putting into production.
-- Bacula restore and bextract can now extract non-portable Win32 data to
- any client (including Unix/Linux clients). Of course, in doing so,
- the Microsoft specific permissions and ACLs will be lost. Thanks
- to Thorsten Engel for this code.
-- The 260 character limitation for Win32 paths name lengths is now
- eliminated thanks to Thorsten Engel. However, if you are using
- Volume Shadow Copy, please be careful to specify all the paths
- in the bacula-fd.conf file using a full path notation including
- the drive letter.
-- Eric Bollengier wrote new RunScript directives that includes
- the old RunBefore/AfterJob and ClientRunBefore/AfterJob features
- plus a *lot* more, allowing you to control just about every aspect
- of running scripts. See the manual for detailed documentation.
- http://www.bacula.org/dev-manual/Configuring_Director.html#5227
-- SunOS ACLs should now work thanks to a patch from David Duchscher.
-- Apply days keyword patch from Alexander.Bergolth at wu-wien.ac.at
- If this patch is applied, the number of days can be specified with
- "list nextvol days=xx"
- or
- "status dir days=xx"
- This can be used to preview the next scheduled job (and the
- next tape to be used) on Fridays if there are no scheduled jobs during
- the weekend.
-- From Eric Bollengier. One can now using the bconsole wait command do:
- wait (wait for all jobs to stop)
- wait jobid=nn
- wait jobuid=unique id
- wait job=job-name
-- Volumes can now be set to Enable, Disable, or Archive. If they
- are not enabled, Volumes will not be mounted.
- Implement update volume enable=(on|off|true|false|archived|0|1|2)
-- Add Catalog message destination in Messages resource that puts the
- job report in the Log database table.
-- Writing/reading DVD Volumes is much more stable -- to the point
- of being useful. Thanks to Richard Mortimer.
-- Add enable/disable job=<job-name>. This command prevents
- the specified job from being scheduled. Even when disabled,
- the job can be manually started from the console.
-- The database Id records should be 32/64 bit independent now. 64 bits
- can be enabled by changing one define and changing the appropriate
- table variable. Normally, you need 64 bits only for FileId.
-- Relative path specifications (i.e. ../xxx) are now permitted in
- the restore cd command.
-- When running multiple simultaneous jobs, most jobs that use spooling
- will now finish faster due to a mutex optimization made by Eric
- Bollengier.
-- Conf files containing UTF-8 marker at the head of the file as well as
- conf files containing Window cr/lf and Mac cr line termination characters
- are now accepted thanks to Robert Nelson.
-- Windows tray status windows are scrollable and resizable.
-- Win32 external script execution is much more flexible -- handles
- spaces in names better, ...
-- Lots of DVD fixes -- writing DVDs is now reported to work.
-- Fix opening of database in a restricted console to respect
- any Catalog ACL.
-- Much better automatic handling of multiple database catalogs in
- the restore command.
-- Permit multiple console/director resources in bconsole.conf.
- patch from Carsten Paeth calle@calle.in-berlin.de
-- Character substitution in Job/JobDefs WriteBootStrap.
- from Eric Bollengier.
-- Apply patch supplied in bug #656 to pass priority field
- in the run dialog to the Director in gnome console.
-- Add support of encrypted data stream to bscan from Eric.
- display data_len instead of data content (may be binary).
-- Add Enabled=xxx on update slots command.
-- Add host:port to connect failure messages to FD and SD from Dir/
-- Add WhereACL to console ACL list. If nothing is specified, only
- the default is permitted for restore. Otherwise, *all* allows any
- path, or you can specify permitted paths. This should allow control
- over where users can restore files. This is untested.
-- Install man pages with 'make install'.
-- Add Media.Enabled flag to client backups for dotcmds.c
-- Enforce Media.Enabled=1 for a current restore to work
-- Require restore case 3 to have sqlquery permission to work.
-- Add -n option to bconsole to turn off conio -- used in bweb.
-- The bytes field in the terminated jobs part of the status
- command now reports in KB, MB, ... units.
-- When not descending into a directory, print the File= name that
- triggered it -- makes why not descending a bit clearer
-- Do not unload autochanger when doing "update slots"
-- Implement mount command for autochanger
-- Fix bug #462 incorrect error message printed when client script called
- from File= was not found.
-- Fix bug #558 (waiting for feedback) where Bacula needs too much time to
- do a rewind on Solaris when no tape is in the drive (Solaris does not
- have the detailed errno found on Linux). Added Solaris specific code.
- Note, this may apply to other OSes as well.
-- The examples directory has a new bacula_mail_summary.sh file that
- creates a single email summary of any number of jobs. Submitted by
- Andrew J. Millar.
-- Add nagios plugin to the examples directory. Submitted by
- Christian Masopust.
-- Modify most restore error messages to be queued so that they
- appear at the end of the job rather than mixed with the restore
- listing where they could be "lost".
-- Apply patch supplied by user (slightly modified) to fix
- correct detection of holes in block devices and FIFOs.
- Bug # 506.
-- Added a report.pl program to the examples directory from Jonas Bjorklund.
-- Add two new queries to query.sql provided by Arno. One
- list volumes known to the Storage device, and the other
- lists volumes possibly needing replacement (error, ...).
-- Implement new code for changing userid and group at startup. This
- should get Bacula into the correct groups.
-- Implement support for removable filesystems -- device type directive
- and mount, unmount directives.
-- Transfer rates are now presented in a more readable format thanks
- to a user submission.
-- SD is now aware of what volumes are mounted. More information is printed
- in the Status report. You must take much more care now to unmount
- devices prior to removing tapes that Bacula has open or prior to
- changing a magazine. Don't forget to do a mount afterwards or the
- device will be blocked.
-- The Pool Maximum Volumes directive is now respected in all places.
-- A Storage device can now be specified in a Pool resource. It will override
- all other Storage specifications.
-- Most but not all directives accept true/false in place of yes/no.
-- A patch from Karl Hakimian that reads JobIds, FileIndexes
- from a database table for restore.
-- There are a number of new tables. Some such as the Location table are
- designed for user use in doing Volume Management software.
-- Maximum Changer Wait, Maximum Open Wait, Maximum Rewind Wait to
- accept time qualifiers.
-- Implement jobuid to replace old usage of job in keywords as
- suggested by Eric Bollengier.
-- Implement write variables for Python to set Priority (anytime), and
- Job Level, only during JobInit event.
-- Use the keyword ujobid to mean the unique job id; job or jobname
- to mean the Job name given on the Name directive, and jobid to
- be the numeric (non-unique) job id.
-- Allow the SD to use multiple drives during a backup/restore (only
- one at a time).
-- Integrate addition of line count limitation to bsmtp -l from
- Sebastian Stark <stark at tuebingen.mpg.de>
-- Split the bacula start/start script into four files:
- bacula -- starts and stops calling other scripts
- bacula-ctl-dir -- starts/stops the director
- bacula-ctl-fd -- starts/stops the File daemon
- bacula-ctl-sd -- starts/stops the Storage daemon
-- Remove automatic case folding on Windows FDs. You must
- explicitly use the 'Ignore Case = yes' option.
-- Implement wild program in tools directory for testing
- wild-cards. Almost identical to the regex program.
-- Use the new bregex.c to implement Regex expressions on Win32.
-- Apply patch from Christopher Hull
- - Allow multiple connections to database with different
- parameters.
- - Invalidate the scheduler when doing a reload. Fixes seg
- fault, but still 60 second window.
- - Additional info in Reschedule message.
- - Use set_jcr_job_status() everywhere to prevent loss of
- cancel, error.
- - Display peer IP in FD if error from connecting DIR.
- - Don't increment file count for DIRBEGIN.
- - Replace illegal characters in Win32 filename by _.
- - Add SE_CREATE_PERMANENT_NAME privilege in Win32.
- - Hash hard link filenames rather than linked list (performance).
- - Fix for security failure in chdir on Win32.
- - Add CreateDirectoryA/W win32 API entry points.
-- programs to duplicate Bacula's base64 algorithm using standard
- routines. This fixes bugs #296, and 565. Patch submitted by
- author of bug #565.
-- Fixes to reloading the Dir conf file from Eric Bollengier and Christopher
- Hull.
-- Modify LICENSE to correct some problems pointed out by Debian.
-- Apply a patch submitted by cesarb in bug #606 to implement O_NOATIME support.
- O_NOATIME is a open() flag which makes it possible to read a file without
- updating the inode atime (and also without the inode ctime update which
- happens if you try to set the atime back to its previous value). It also
- prevents a race condition when two programs are reading the same file, but
- only one does not want to change the atime. It's most useful for backup
- programs and file integrity checkers (and bacula can fit on both
- categories).
- You enable it in the Bacula FileSet Options resource by setting:
- noatime = yes
- The effect of this option is similar to the keepatime option except
- it is more efficient and avoids modifying ctime.
-- Implement a pile of new man pages contributed by Jose Tallon.
-- Modify the database format for handling Migration jobs:
- Add PriorJobId, RealEndTime to Job table
- Delete MAC table
- Remove Stripe from JobMedia record (not used, wasting space)
- Add ScratchPoolId, RecyclePoolId, Enabled to Media record
- Add Cost to Location table.
- Enabled to Media table and Location table.
-- Security: harden authentication failure in FD by single threading errors
- and forcing a 6 second wait.
-- If using GCC (actually g++) add the following compiler flags
- -fno-strict-aliasing -fno-exceptions -fno-rtti
-- Turn on new bsnprintf() code. The reason for this code is to
- eliminate the security problems associated with using the
- system libraries print routines.
-- Implement job report that indicates where Storage and Pool
- came from -- with overrides and Pool storage and NextPool,
- it is all very complicated.
-- Add more detail (Storage, Device) to list of volumes printed
- for restore.
-- Add new VOLMGMT message class. No messages are yet sent with this
- class.
-- Improved Bacula rescue procedures -- see the Disaster Recovery
- chapter of the manual
-- Add spooling/despooling info in status output of SD.
-- Add Comment field to llist of a volume.
-- Allow true/false in many but not all yes/no directives.
-- The Bacula source code is now copyrighted by the Free Software
- Foundation Europe. The Developer's Guide documents the new procedures,
- and the LICENSE file has been updated.
-- Apply Jaime Ventura's patch that implements the Messages resource
- Mail On Success directive.
-- The Client returns its Version string, which is printed in the Job
- report.
-- The Client returns whether or not VSS and Encryption are used, which
- are printed in the Job report.
-
-Additional Features Added for Win32:
-- Added DriveType directive to the Director's Include Option FileSet
- resource. Allowed values are: fixed, removable, cdrom, and remote. There
- is only an implementation for Windows because it is the only platform that
- has the concept of drives.
-
-- Adds EnhancedWild directive to the Director's Include Option FileSet
- resource. Allowed values are: yes and no.
-
- When EnhancedWild is enabled then the processing of the
- Wild, WildDir and WildFile is changed in the following ways.
-
- Patterns conform to Posix
- \ is not a special character in character classification []
- To match a - it must be the first or last character
- To match a ] it must be the first character
-
- fnmatch option FNM_FILE_NAME is specified * doesn't match a /
- so it won't match multiple directory levels in a path
-
-- Relative WildFile patterns (ones without a leading /) match
- against the filename portion. This in combination with the
- FNM_FILE_NAME fnmatch() flag makes directives such as WildFile =
- abc*.def work as expected.
-
-- Adds support for the shell's feature of brace expansion.
-
- Here is an example where braces allow 24 lines to be expressed in 5.
-
- # Exclude directories full of lots and lots of useless little files
- WildDir = "[A-Z]:/{Documents and Settings,{WINNT,Windows}/Profiles}/*/Cookies"
- WildDir = "[A-Z]:/{Documents and Settings,{WINNT,Windows}/Profiles}/*/Recent"
- WildDir = "[A-Z]:/{Documents and Settings,{WINNT,Windows}/Profiles}/*/{Local Settings,LOCALS~1}/History"
- WildDir = "[A-Z]:/{Documents and Settings,{WINNT,Windows}/Profiles}/*/{Local Settings,LOCALS~1}/Temp"
- WildDir = "[A-Z]:/{Documents and Settings,{WINNT,Windows}/Profiles}/*/{Local Settings,LOCALS~1}/Temporary Internet Files"

-
- Release Notes for Bacula 5.2.1
-
- Bacula code: Total files = 1,110 Total lines = 231,439 (Using SLOCCount)
-
-General:
---------
-
-This 5.2.1 version is a major release since the last version 5.0.3.
-It includes well over 299,387 lines of changes made by 20 contributors,
-lots of bug fixes (see below), 1,851 software commits,and a
-number of important new features:
-
-Version 5.2.0
--------------
-Version 5.2.0 was short lived, because Marco (thanks) found
-a number of last minute bugs. So the first official release of 5.2
-is 5.2.1.
-
-Compatibility:
---------------
- As always, both the Director and Storage daemon must be upgraded at
- the same time.
-
- Older 5.0.x and 3.0.x File Daemons are compatible with the 5.2.1
- Director and Storage daemons. There should be no need to upgrade older File
- Daemons.
-
-Main New Features:
-------------------
-- LZO Compression
-- New Tray Monitor
-- Purge Migration Job
-- Changes in Bvfs (Bacula Virtual FileSystem)
-- Changes in the Pruning Algorithm
-- Ability to Verify any specified Job
-- Additions to RunScript variables
-- Additions to the Plugin API
-- ACL enhancements
-- XATTR enhancements
-- Class Based Database Backend Drivers
-- Hash List Enhancements
-
-Some of the above are described below; all the above are
-described in more detail in the New Features chapter of the
-manual.

-
-
-================== Warning !!!!!! ==========================
-
- The new pruning algorithm will not allow pruning of jobs that are essential to
- restore since the last Full backup. This is, of course, correct and desirable,
- but it is different from older Bacula versions that could inappropriately
- prune jobs. Pruning of volumes is not affected.
-
-Building Bat:
--------------
-To build Bat, you need Qt4 version 4.6.2. If you build with any other
-version it is likely not to work. If you do not have version 4.6.2, on
-your system, you can download the Bacula depkgs_qt version 16Dec10.
-
-Packaging the SQL backend:
---------------------------
-The main Bacula Director code is independent of the SQL backend
-in this version. This means that the Bacula Director can be packaged
-by itself, then each of the different SQL backends supported can
-be packaged separately. It is possible to build all the DB backends
-at the same time.
-
-- configure can be run with multiple database configure options.
- --with-sqlite3
- --with-mysql
- --with-postgresql
-
-Order of testing for database is
-- postgresql
-- mysql
-- sqlite3
-
-Each configured backend generates a libbaccats-<backend_name>-<version>.so
-A dummy catalog library is created named libbaccats-version.so
-
-At configure time the first detected backend is used as the so called default
-backend and at install time the dummy libbaccats-<version>.so is replaced with
-the default backend type.
-
-If you configure all 3 backends you get 3 backend libraries and the postgresql
-gets installed as the default. When you want to switch the default you can
-copy one of the 3 backend libraries over the libbaccats-<version>.so e.g.
-
-cp libbaccats-postgresql-<version>.so libbaccats-<version>.so
-
-And update the default backend in the following files:
-
-create_bacula_database
-drop_bacula_database
-drop_bacula_tables
-grant_bacula_privileges
-make_bacula_tables
-make_catalog_backup
-update_bacula_tables
-
-New Catalog format in version 5.2.0 and greater
------------------------------------------------
-This release of Bacula uses a new catalog format. We provide a set of
-scripts that permit to convert a 5.0.x (version 12) catalog to 5.2.1 (version
-14). The Bacula project rpm spec files have been modified to
-detect the database change and do the upgrade for you. We strongly
-recommend that you save a copy of your existing database before upgrading
-using rpms.
-
-The simplest way to upgrade the database assuming you are building from
-source (i.e. manually):
-1. Stop any current version of Bacula from running.
-2. Save a copy of your existing database.
-3. Configure, build, and install the 5.2.1 version of Bacula
- Note the new ./configure options in the manuals see the link
- at the bottom of this file.
-4. cd <your-scripts-installation-directory>
-5. ./update_bacula_tables
-6. If you have multiple catalogs, edit the update_bacula_tables
- script and put the name of another database, and then
- execute the script again. Repeat this until all Bacula
- catalogs have been updated.
-7. Start the new Bacula. If everything worked, it should
- not print any error messages.
-
-If you start from scratch, you don't need to run the update_bacula_tables
-script because the create_bacula_tables script automatically creates the new
-table format. However, if you are using a version of Bacula older than 5.0.0
-(e.g. 3.0.3) then you need to run the update_bacula_tables script that will
-be found in the <bacula>/src/cats directory after you run the ./configure
-command. As mentioned above, before running this script, please backup your
-catalog database, and when you do running it, be sure shutdown Bacula and be
-aware that running the script can take some time depending on your database
-size.
-
-================================================================
-
-Changes:
-
-Speed and Memory Usage Enhancements:
-- Implement LZO compression algorithm (need lzo2 headers to activate this option)
-- New Pruning algoritm -- safer and faster
-- Use of PostgreSQL cursor when doing large queries, should reduce the
- memory usage during restore and accurate backups.
-- limit command in some list commands
-- Bacula Virtual File System for fast catalog access
-- Faster crc32 algorithm
-
-Security Enhancements:
-- Additional security against injection of illegal characters
-- Fix possible fnmatch problem
-
-Features Enhancements:
-- Improvements in ACL and xattr handling on additional platforms:
- AIX, Darwind, FreeBSD, HPUX, IRIX, Solaris, Tru64
-- Tray monitor for Windows
-- New SQL backend and ./configure that permits building multiple catalog
- backends in one build, and has the main Bacula core code totally independent
- of the SQL backend, which should simplify packaging (only the
- libbacsql.so/dll needs to be changed to switch from one database backend
- to another (e.g. MySQL to PostgreSQL).
-- Indent lsmark during restore
-- Disable batch insert config item
-- Director selection option in bconsole
-- restorejob command in bconsole
-- Many additional features for bat such as "brestore" panel
-- The old bat version browser has been turned off since it does not
- work correctly and the brestore panel provides the same functionality
-- Improved hash table for hard links
-- Additional script variable editing such as %b (JobBytes), %F (JobFiles)
- and %h (Client Address)
-
-Other Enhancements:
-- Includes better handling for Windows repares points, mount points, and
- junction points.
-- New database format
-- Many new plugin API features
-- Improved memory handling for restores
-- Significant stability enhancements to bat
-- xattr/ACL restore failure are now printed as Warning
-- A few path name length limits in Windows have been removed.

-We have released Bacula Version 5.0.3 to Source Forge
-
-This 5.0.3 version is significant bug fix update to version 5.0.2.
-It includes new code and some new features.
-There is no database change since prior versions of 5.0.
-
-Note, if you are running 5.0.0, read the 5.0.1 and 5.0.2 release notes below in
- the 5.0.1 release section.
- Important!!!
-
-Compatibility:
---------------
- As always, both the Director and Storage daemon must be upgraded at
- the same time.
-
- Older 5.0.x and 3.0.x File Daemons are compatible with the 5.0.3
- Director and Storage daemons. There should be no need to upgrade older File
- Daemons.
-
-Changes and New Features:
-- If a VSS (Windows) snapshot fails, the whole Job is failed, previously
- it printed a warning message and continued.
-- New editing codes %b = Job Bytes and %f = Job Files for runscripts

-- The bat Media page text columns can be sorted by clicking on the column.
-- If possible, the SD will automatically update the catalog Volume size if
- it does not match the Volume size. The mismatch between the Volume sizes
- typically occurs when the FD has a comm line drop or the FD crashes.

-Bacula Version 5.0.1 has been released to Source Forge
-
-Bacula version 5.0.1 source code and Windows (32/64 bit) binaries have been
-released to Source Forge (thanks Eric).
-
-This is a major bug fix release including a few directives that have been
-rewritten, one new directive, and some different directive behavior (see the
-release notes below). As is usual for a patch release (last digit changes by
-one), this version is compatible with the 5.0.0 database and with prior
-clients. However, you *must* upgrade all components that are on any one
-machine (that is you must upgrade your Director, Storage daemon, and File
-daemon at the same time, if they reside on the same machine).
-
-Note, Bacula does not normally uninstall previous versions, and we have
-changed the shared object naming convention, so you might want to first save
-your configuration files then uninstall the old Bacula using the old Bacula
-uninstall prior to installing the new one. If you do not, it should not be
-serious, but you may be left with some older Bacula shared objects that are
-not used and hence wasting a small amount of disk space.
-
-If you are upgrading from version 3.0.x or prior, please see the full release
-notes as you must do a database upgrade. When updating from 5.0.0 to this
-release there is no database upgrade needed.
-
-Scott has made a number of changes and improvements in the rpm packaging over
-the past few weeks since version 5.0.0 was released, so he will probably be
-releasing the 5.0.1 rpms quite soon.
-
-Thanks for using Bacula :-)
-
-Best regards,
-
-Kern
-
-============= Performance Note ==================
-
-Some of you have encountered performance problems with your
-database (mainly with MySQL) with Bacula version 5.0.0. This is
-mainly because we've changed the SQL query used for restore,
-accurate jobs and base jobs. We have extensively tested this
-change, and though it should be a little bit slower than the previous
-versions, on a well configured database it should run
-extremely well.
-
-We strongly recommend to avoid the temptation to add new indexes.
-In general, these will cause very significant performance
-problems in other areas. A better approch is to carefully check
-that all your MySQL memory configuation parameters are are
-suitable for the size of your installation. If you backup
-millions of files, you need to adapt the database memory
-configuration parameters concerning sorting, joining and global
-memory. By default, sort and join parameters are very small
-(sometimes 8Kb), and having sufficient memory specified by those
-parameters is extremely important to run fast.
-
-If adjusting your MySQL memory configuration values does not
-solve your problem, you can also consider switching to
-PostgreSQL, which performs much better with Bacula on big
-installations (many millions of files per Job). However for
-large installations, you will also need to adjust the default
-PostgreSQL memory configuration parameters.
-
-==========================================
-
-
- Release Notes for Bacula 5.0.1
-
- Bacula code: Total files = 1,081 Total lines = 217,272 (Using SLOCCount)
-
-!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NOTE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-The Allow Duplicate Jobs directive has been significantly
-reworked, and the default value has changed. See below.
-
-Truncate On Purge has been totally rewritten. See the new
-features section of the manual.
-
-When Volume Poll Interval is set in the SD DEVICE configuration,
-(default 5 mins), after a certain number of polling tries (approx
-10) polling will stop and the operator will be asked to
-resolve the problem. Previously there was no limit, and an
-error message could be produced at each poll attempt.
-!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
-Changes since 5.0.0
--------------------
-- We believe that we have resolved most of the problems
- concerning canceled or failed jobs being "stuck" in the
- Director. There is one outstanding problem in the SD when
- canceling jobs that we will fix in the next major release.
- If you see jobs that seem to be stuck, in general issuing
- a cancel command in bconsole should now make them go away.
-
-Directives:
-- The default for "Allow Duplicate Jobs" has been changed from
- no to yes. If you use this directive, please check your
- conf file, and note the next two items !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-- AllowHigherDuplicates disabled. It did not work as documented
- and was confusing.
-- New directive "CancelLowerLevelDuplicates" See New Features
- section in the manual.
-- Truncate on Purge rewritten. See New Features section in the manual.
-
-Bug fixes:
-1448 1466 1467 1468 1476 1481 1486 1488 1494 1497
-1499 1501 1505 1509 1513

-- Fix three-pool regress bug
-- Modify bacula.spec fixes bug #1505

-
-For Packagers:
-1. The default query.sql file is now, except for some comments, empty.
-The old file, which we no longer support (it is impossible or difficult to
-make it work on every backend, and the queries are mostly contributed) can
-be found in <bacula-source>/examples/sample-query.sql. The sample file is
-not installed by the Makefiles
-
-2. When you install the mtx-changer script, you must also install
-mtx-changer.conf if it does not exist. This new file (mtx-changer.conf) is
-required for mtx-changer to work, but it is a user configurable file, so on
-any update, any existing file should not be overwritten.
-
-3. Bat should be built on every platform that is capabable of running Qt.
-However, the Qt code is changing rather quickly and is not always
-compatible from version to version. We have built and verified bat on Qt
-4.3.4. We strongly recommend that you do not build and distribute bat with
-any other version of Qt unless you personally test it. To build against Qt
-4.3.4, download the depkgs-qt package from the Bacula Source Forge download
-location, read the README file and follow the instructions.
-
-If you are building for Bacula version 5.0.0, please ensure that you do not
-have qmake-qt4 loaded on your system. If you do, either remove it or
-rename it before trying to build bat. If you do not, bat will probably be
-built using the shared objects on your system. For Bacula 5.0.1 and later,
-this problem (bug) does not exist.
-
-depkgs-qt does not install Qt on your system, nor does it interfere with
-you having any other version of Qt installed on your system. Once you
-build bat with depkgs-qt, it should *not* use the Qt shared objects, but
-rather they will be linked into the program. After fully installing bat
-(make install), you can run "ldd bat" to see what shared objects it will
-use. If any Qt shared objects are referenced, something has gone wrong.
-
-4. Unless absolutely necessary, we recommend that you do not define any
-special library environment variables that apply to the ./configure -- for
-example: LIBDIR=/... ./configure <your-options> is strongly discouraged.
-Doing so, could potentially cause Bacula to be linked against the wrong
-shared objects.
-
-5. The Bacula project strongly recommends that you install Bacula into a
-single directory, with a few minor exceptions such as the MySQL or
-PostgreSQL databases. Preferrably this should be /opt/bacula. The full
-recommendation is:
-
-#!/bin/sh
-# Recommended configure script for Bacula
-prefix=/opt/bacula
-email=xxx@yyy.zz
-CFLAGS="-g -O2 -Wall" \
- ./configure \
- --sbindir=${prefix}/bin \
- --sysconfdir=${prefix}/etc \
- --docdir=${prefix}/html \
- --htmldir=${prefix}/html \
- --with-working-dir=${prefix}/working \
- --with-pid-dir=${prefix}/working \
- --with-subsys-dir=${prefix}/working \
- --with-scriptdir=${prefix}/scripts \
- --with-plugindir=${prefix}/plugins \
- --libdir=${prefix}/lib \
- --enable-smartalloc \
- --enable-tray-monitor \
- --enable-bat \
- --with-mysql \
- --with-dump-email=${email} \
- --with-job-email=${email} \
- --with-smtp-host=localhost \
- --with-baseport=9101
-
-Obviously, the email, and some of the minor options (mysql, postgresql,
-...) can be changed to suit your distribution, but the directory names
-defined above are strongly recommended, and over time the default values in
-the bacula-dir.conf and bacula-sd.conf will reflect these choices.
-
-If you have any questions about this or would like a detailed document
-describing our recommendations including packaging requirements, please
-send an email to the bacula-devel list.
-
-6. Starting with Bacula version 3.0.0 up to Bacula 5.0.0, the shared
-libraries that Bacula uses by default are named xxx-1.0.0. Starting with
-Bacula 5.0.1, we are going to name the libraries using the Bacula version.
-So in Bacula 5.0.1, the libraries will be named xxx-5.0.1. With future
-versions, the last digit may or may not change when we distribute patch
-updates (i.e. the last digit of the version changes). This will depend on
-whether or not we have changed something in the library. Hopefully this
-new procedure will resolve some of the incompatibility problems between
-different versions of the shared objects.
-
-7. The default build option for bconsole is conio (my own little console
-routines). I did this because some years ago, readline was very difficult
-to maintain -- it and where it was found seemed to change on every release.
-This generated at the time a number of support problems. It seems to me
-that since then there have been very few problems with readline. As a
-consequence, I have no problem if you want to make bconsole with readline
-enabled. It will actually give some very nice new bconsole command
-completion functionality that Eric has written. Bottom line: feel free to
-use readline or not as you please.
-

-Eric;;;25 January 2010 at 10:00
-Bacula Version 5.0.0 has been released to Source Forge
-
-Release Numbering:
------------------------------------------------------------
-You might be wondering why this release jumps from 3.0.x to
-5.0.0 thus skipping version 4.0.0. We have done this for
-several reasons: first, we wanted a way of distinguishing
-the numbering system for the Bacula System Enterprise version
-and the Bacula Project version. So, to do so, we have decided
-that the first number of the Bacula Project version will always
-be odd, and the first number of the Enterprise version will always
-be even. Thus the Bacula Project now moves from 3.0.x to 5.0.x.
-In addition, we want to keep the Bacula Project version larger
-than the Enterprise version to indicate that the Bacula Project
-version is more advanced or has more features than the
-Enterprise version. For memory, the current Enterprise version
-is 2.6.1, and the next release (in a few months -- before June 2010)
-will be version 4.0.0.
-
-Warning:
---------------------------------------------------------------
-Please note the three Warnings below before doing any install or
-upgrade.
-
-
-Changes since 3.0.3a (the last Bacula Project release):
--------------------------------------------------------
-
-Bug fixes:
-1337 1351 1352 1354 1357 1361 1367 1369 1370 1373
-1376 1391 1403 1409 1420 1422 1427 1428 1431 1450
-1454 1455 1458 1456
-
-Fixed:
- - Problem that locks the Director when the SMTP server wasn't
- responding to the bsmtp program
- - Restore's dir command shows incorrect file sizes
- - Fix various problems with the reload command
- - Fix problems with conio
- - Eliminate several deadlocks or potential race conditions from SD
-
-Enhancements:
- - Project 5: Truncate volume after purge
- - Project 6: File Deduplication using Base Jobs
- - Project 10: Restore from Multiple Storage Daemons
- - Project 11: AllowCompression per Device
- - Project 23: Add Maximum Concurrent Jobs for Devices to balance load
- between drives
- - Add Accurate Fileset Options to configure accurate detection. Can use
- checksum verification for example.
- - Allow FD to keep root read but drop write permission (CAP)
- - Secure handling of passwords for catalog backup
- - Add Tab-completion for Bconsole when using Readline
- - Add Bvfs API to query the catalog without building a memory tree
- - Add new speed test to btape program
- - Add new Bat screens (Autochanger content, Job view, Media view, ...)
- - Windows version of Bat
- - Added Spanish Bacula translation
- - New bconsole -u nnn option to have timeout on commands
- - Allow Migrate, Copy, and Virtual Full to read and write
- to the same Pool
- - show disabled -- shows disabled Jobs
- - Add Pool File and Job retention periods (take precedence over Client)
- - Many ACL improvements
- - Level added to FD status Job entry
- - Allow turning on/off Block Checksum per device
- - Set Device Poll interval to 5 minutes -- previously did not poll
- - Implement lock manager with bad order protection
-
-Compatibility:
-As always, both the Director and Storage daemon must be upgraded at
-the same time, and on any given machine, you must run only one version
-of Bacula. This means that on the Director and Storage daemon machines,
-you *must* upgrade your File daemon as well.
-
-Older 3.0.x and possibly 2.4.x File Daemons are compatible with the 5.0.0
-Director and Storage daemons. There should be no need to upgrade older File
-Daemons immediately. However, we recommend that you do so as soon
-as is reasonable for your situation.
-
-================== Warning !!!!!! ==========================
-
-New Catalog format in version 5.0.0 (3.1.9 or later)
------------------------------------------------------
-
-This release of Bacula uses a new catalog format. We provide a set of
-scripts that permit to convert a 3.0.x (version 11) catalog to 5.0.0 (version
-12). The Bacula project rpms distributed on Source Forge will automatically
-detect the database change and do the upgrade for you. We strongly
-recommend that you save a copy of your existing database before upgrading
-using rpms.
-
-The simplest way to upgrade the database assuming you are building from
-source:
-1. Stop any current version of Bacula from running.
-2. Save a copy of your existing database.
-3. Configure, build, and install the 5.0.0 version of Bacula
- Note the new ./configure options in the manuals see the link
- at the bottom of this file.
-4. cd <your-scripts-installation-directory>
-5. ./update_bacula_tables
-6. If you have multiple catalogs, edit the update_bacula_tables
- script and put the name of another database, and then
- execute the script again. Repeat this until all Bacula
- catalogs have been updated.
-7. Start the new Bacula. If everything worked, it should
- not print any error messages.
-
-If you start from scratch, you don't need to run the update_bacula_tables
-script because the create_bacula_tables script automatically creates the new
-table format. However, if you are using a version of Bacula older than 3.1.9
-(e.g. 3.0.3) then you need to run the update_bacula_tables script that will
-be found in the <bacula>/src/cats directory after you run the ./configure
-command. As mentioned above, before running this script, please backup your
-catalog database, and when you do running it, be sure shutdown Bacula and be
-aware that running the script can take some time depending on your database
-size.
-================================================================
-
-
-================== Warning !!!!!! ==========================
-If you upgrade a previous Win32 client installation, you must
-first stop the File daemon, then uninstall it before attempting
-the upgrade. If you do not do so, the upgrade will probably
-fail and you will need to manually find and run the
-Uninstall.exe file, before you can upgrade to the new version.
-This is because the file locations are different. If you want
-to save your previous bacula-fd.conf file, please do so before
-uninstalling it.
-================================================================
-
-================== Warning !!!!!! ==========================
-Due to permissions problems on Windows Vista and later systems,
-we no longer require SYSTEM or Administrator permissions to
-access the binaries and configuation files. If you wish
-to restrict access to these files, please see the New Features
-section of the manual for how to set access control lists.
-================================================================
-
-Note, the Win32 Installer no longer installs the Bacula Servers
-(Director and Storage daemon). See the New Features section of
-the manual for more details.
-
-============ Documentation improvements needed ==================
-
-Note!!!!! The 5.0.0+ documentation has a number of known problems:
-
-1. We have reduced the number of manuals, which has fixed many
- of the broken links found in the old 3.0.x version, but there
- are still some that need fixing.
-
-2. Integration of the 3.0.x features into the main manuals has
- not yet been done.
-
-The documentation will not be completed in the near future due to lack
-manpower. If you are unhappy with this situation as we are, we suggest
-you help by submitting patches to the documentation. Thanks.
-=====
-
-
-This release includes large number of new features and changes.
-It should be more or less compatible with previous xx.conf files
-and File daemons providing that you are not using any of the new
-features.
-
-Please see the New Features chapter of the new manual, which documents
-some but not all the new features (we are still working on it):
-
-http://www.bacula.org/5.0.x-manuals/en/main/main/New_Features_in_5_0_0.html

- 1276, 1274, 1275, 1272 1246, 1268, 1281, 1282.
-
-Fixed:
-- Check for job_canceled() in fd_plugin code.
-- Update Win32 table creation to have new DB version 11 format
-- Remove illegal Options in Exclude of default Win32/64 bacula-dir.conf
-- Remove 'Reposition' messages when restoring
-- Updated projects file
-- Tweak version string to display versionid field at the end
- and keep fields order.
- - Add additional mysql connection debug code submitted by:
- Chandranshu <chandranshu@gmail.com>
-
-Enhancement:
-- Modify insertion of read Volumes in SD to be done *before* the
- drive reservation. This ensures that a Volume to be read will not
- be reserved for writing. Significant improvement in eliminating
- tape deadlock situations.
-
-Note, both the Director and Storage daemons must be upgraded at the
-same time. The 3.0.1 File daemons are compatible with 3.0.0 file
-daemons and as noted below in the 3.0.0 release notes the Director
-and Storage daemon should be compatible with 2.4.x File daemons.
-In general, we do not expect any of the 3.0.x File daemons to work with older
-Directors and Storage daemons (as has always been the case for Bacula
-releases).
-
-============ Documentation improvements needed ==================
-
-Note!!!!! The 3.0.0+ documentation needs rather extensive modifications in the
-following areas:
-
-1. Missing documentation.
-2. Correction of links within various manuals -- most fail.
-3. Integration of the new features into the main documents.
-4. Much more.
-
-The documentation will not be completed in the near future due to lack
-manpower. If you are unhappy with this situation as we are, we suggest
-you help by submitting patches to the documentation. Thanks.

-Bacula Version 3.0.0 has been released to Source Forge.
-
-This is to inform you that we have uploaded the Bacula version 3.0.0 source
-tar files and the Win32/64 installer files to the Bacula Source Forge
-download location.
-
-There are quite a number of new features in this release, and upgrading to it
-requires a database upgrade, so please read the release notes carefully
-(included below) and the documentation for the new features at:
-
-http://www.bacula.org/manuals/en/concepts/concepts/New_Features.html
-
-There is still a good deal of work to do to finish the release process (mainly
-reorganizing the web site manuals ...), but at least the source files are
-released. The rpms should follow shortly (probably this weekend).
-
-If you are currently using 2.4.4, please note that within a few months that
-version will no longer be supported, so please consider the possibility of
-upgrading.
-
-This release probably has the most new features that we have ever released,
-and it has taken a long time to produce it. The basic code is very well
-tested, and if you stick to 2.4.4 features, you are unlikely to experience
-problems. However, many of the new features have not been well tested, so
-your help will be appreciated.
-
-The following issues with 3.0.0 are known and we are working on them:
-
-1. The documentation is not 100% complete (there are so many new features that
-we missed documenting some).
-
-2. All the new documentation is in the New Features chapter, but not all of it
-has yet been integrated back into the appropriate chapters.
-
-3. James has reported that the Exchange plugin may crash if you cancel a job
-while it is running. He is working on this.
-
-4. The SD has many new features that will make it more stable. One in
-particular is that it knows what Volumes will be read during a migration,
-copy, or Virtual backup job, and will ensure that they are not selected for
-writing (something easy to do if you are using disk files and the same pool
-for reading an writing). However, the day after the release was cut, I found
-a problem with this code that prevents it from working properly during
-certain pre-allocations of the write tape.
-
-5. There is still an outstanding bug report on VSS failing (it seems to be a
-bit of a rare case).
-
-As I previously announced, we will now make 3.0.0 our main release source code
-stream, and we hope to release new version every six months and bug fix
-updates even sooner. To be able to do this, we will support version 2.4.4
-only for a few more months. There after the project will only support the
-most current release ...
-
-This release comprises a lot of work by a lot of different people and many
-contributions. Normally I hesitate to mention particular people or
-contributions because I always forget someone, but since this was such a big
-release, I would like to mention at least the big contributions:

-
- Release Notes for Bacula 3.0.0
-
- Bacula code: Total files = 520 Total lines = 205,459 (*.h *.c *.in)
-
-The diff between 2.4.4 and 2.5.x is 208,340 lines, so this release
-represents an enormous effort.
-
-This Director and Storage daemon must be upgraded at the same time,
-but they should be compatible with all 2.4.x File daemons, unless you
-use some of the new features that affect the FD. In other words, you should
-not have to upgrade all your File daemons when you upgrade. However, any
-release of version 2.5.40 or greater requires a database upgrade.
-
-================== Warning !!!!!! ==========================
-
-New Catalog format in version 3.0.0 (2.5.40 or later)
------------------------------------------------------
-
-This release of Bacula uses a new catalog format. We provide a set of
-scripts that permit to convert a 2.4.x (version 10) catalog to 3.0.0 (version
-11). The Bacula project rpms distributed on Source Forge will automatically
-detect the database change and do the upgrade for you. We strongly
-recommend that you save a copy of your existing database before upgrading
-using rpms.
-
-The simplest way to upgrad the database assuming you are building from
-source:
-1. Stop any current version of Bacula from running.
-2. Save a copy of your existing database.
-3. Configure, build, and install the 3.0.0 version of Bacula
- Note the new ./configure options in the manuals see the link
- at the bottom of this file.
-4. cd <your-scripts-installation-directory>
-5. ./update_bacula_tables
-6. If you have multiple catalogs, edit the update_bacula_tables
- script and put the name of another database, and then
- execute the script again. Repeat this until all Bacula
- catalogs have been updated.
-7. Start the new Bacula. If everything worked, it should
- not print any error messages.
-
-The upgrade operation will convert the FileId index field of the File table
-from 32 bits to 64 bits. This operation will take TIME and will *temporarily*
-DOUBLE THE SIZE of your catalog. Bacula must be shutdown during this update,
-so, won't be able to run jobs during this period. For example, a 3 million
-files
-catalog will take 2 mins to upgrade on a normal machine. Don't forget to
-backup it before executing the script.
-
-If you start from scratch, you don't need to run the update_bacula_tables
-script because the create_bacula_tables script automatically creates the new
-table format. However, if you are using a version of Bacula older than 2.5.40
-(e.g. 2.4.4) then you need to run the update_bacula_tables script that will
-be found in the <bacula>/src/cats directory after you run the ./configure
-command. As mentioned above, before running this script, please backup your
-catalog database, and when you do running it, be sure shutdown Bacula and be
-aware that running the script can take some time depending on your database
-size.
-
-
-Important New configure options :
-----------------------
-
-This release of Bacula 3.0.0 uses libtool by default
-to generate the Bacula libraries as shared objects rather than
-being directly linked in as in prior versions. This means that
-the Bacula shared objects, must either be in a shared object
-directory known to the loader or they must be in the directory
-where the Bacula binaries are installed. It is also possible
-to explicitly specify the libraries directory on the ./configure
-line (--libdir=/full-path/dir), but this should not be necessary.
-
- ./configure --libdir=<full-path>
-
-If you have problems with libtool or you wish to use the old
-way of building libraries and linking them into Bacula, you
-can do so by disabling libtool on the configure command line with:
-
- ./configure --disable-libtool
-
-During the installation of Bacula 3.0.0, it will now install
-bat help files (if you have configured bat). These files
-are placed in /usr/share/doc/bacula/html by default. If you
-want to put them elsewhere use:
-
- ./configure --htmldir=<full-path>
-
-During the installation of Bacula, it will now install the
-ReleaseNotes, License, technotes, ChangeLog, and similar
-files in /usr/share/doc/bacula by default. If you
-want to put them elsewhere use:
-
- ./configure --docdir=<full-path>
-
-During the installation of Bacula, any plugins will be
-installed in the plugindir, which is by default the
-same as libdir (/usr/lib). You can specify an alternate
-location with:
-
- ./configure --with-plugindir=<full-path>
-
-==============================================================
-
-This release includes large number of new features and changes.
-It should be more or less compatible with previous xx.conf files
-and File daemons providing that you are not using any of the new
-features.
-
-Please see the New Features chapter of the new manual, which documents
-some but not all the new features (we are still working on it):
-
-http://www.bacula.org/manuals/en/concepts/concepts/New_Features.html
-
-The ChangeLog has more details.

-Critical 2.4.3-orphaned-jobs.patch released
-We recently found and corrected a serious bug in Bacula that causes jobs to be
-orphaned or "stuck" in the director during the pruning process. Depending on
-what jobs get stuck and how many there are, it could prevent additional jobs
-from running. As best we can tell, this problem occurs only during what could
-be called extreme pruning conditions -- i.e. there are insufficient Volumes
-available for normal operations.
-
-In any case, we recommend that everyone apply the 2.4.3-orphaned-jobs.patch,
-which you can find in the bacula-patches section of the Source Forge download
-area as well as in the directory patches of both the trunk and Branch-2.4 SVN.

-Creation of Bacula Systems SA
-Dear Members of the Bacula Community,
-
-I'm pleased to announce the creation of Bacula Systems S.A., a new company to
-provide professional support and service for Bacula. I believe you will be
-pleased to see how we have married a strong commitment to the ethos of honest
-open source software with the availability of services desired by a wide
-range of Bacula users.
-
-As many of you know, I began work on Bacula in 2000 and released the first
-public version in April 2002 to Source Forge. Although I have personally
-written a very substantial part of the code, I offer sincere thanks to the
-many members of the community who have provided ideas, fixes, testing, and
-contributions of code, without which Bacula would not be what it is today.
-It has been a labor of love and I am pleased that so many people have found
-Bacula useful.
-
-Before telling you more about Bacula Systems, let me reiterate my unfaltering,
-ongoing commitment to open source software and the Bacula open source
-project. The code for Bacula and all future releases will remain available as
-free open source software under the GPL license that I transferred to the
-protection of the Free Software Foundation of Europe. Unlike some other open
-source projects, there will be no separate "enterprise" or proprietary
-version of the Bacula source code. www.bacula.org will continue to be the
-home for Bacula project development.
-
-So, why create Bacula Systems? The company was created to respond to requests
-from users who want professional support with guaranteed levels of service
-and response times. To ensure continuity and the highest level of knowledge
-transfer, I will take the position of Chairman of the Board and Chief
-Technical Officer of Bacula Systems S.A..
-
-Several members of the Bacula community have joined me to start the company.
-The other team members are also strongly dedicated to the spirit of keeping
-Bacula open and free while simultaneously offering commercial services to
-those for whom it is essential in making the decision to deploy Bacula.
-Bacula Systems is self-financed -- the initial capital comes from the
-founders; no outside venture capital was sought or accepted. This means we
-have the power to establish the company's priorities and we can remain
-dedicated to "honest open source". Bacula Systems S.A. is a Swiss company
-with offices in Yverdon-les-Bains, and with branches in France and Germany
-initially. We will open additional branches as business requires.
-
-I will continue to support development of Bacula via bacula.org and the Bacula
-community. Future developments will be in the "community" code base which
-will remain free. Bacula Systems will offer "funded development" to
-customers who wish to accelerate the addition of certain features to Bacula.
-Code developed this way will be contributed to the free distribution and will
-be available to the entire community at no charge. Bacula Systems will
-provide additional fee-based services, including high quality consulting,
-training, documentation and certified binaries.
-
-Our goal in establishing Bacula Systems is to be inclusive of the community,
-and expand it by creating opportunities for members of the Bacula community
-through a well-defined Partner Program. If you provide IT services or
-consulting, the Bacula Systems Partner Program can provide you with the
-additional back-up (pardon the pun) support you need to serve your customers
-more effectively.
-
-Our plan is to develop an international network of partners who offer high
-value added services to Bacula users -- installing, configuring and optimizing
-Bacula for their customers, as well as Level 3 and 4 support, with guaranteed
-service levels. We will also provide training and tools to our partners.
-
-The Bacula project website, www.bacula.org, and Source Forge will be unchanged
-in the mission and ideals of being free sources of information, mail lists
-and forum-based support for and by the community. Both Bacula source code and
-Bacula binaries will continue to be available for free, as in the past, and
-new releases will also be available for free. The new commercial website,
-www.baculasystems.com will provide information on commercial subscriptions
-for those users who want guaranteed levels of service, support, documentation
-and certified binaries.
-
-All members of the Bacula community are encouraged to register for free at
-www.baculasystems.com, so that you will receive announcements and news about
-our commercial activities, and so that you can send feedback to our new
-company, Bacula Systems.
-
-Thank you for your interest and participation in the Bacula community.
-
-Sincerely,
-
-Kern Sibbald

-Bacula version 2.4.3 Released
-This is to let you know that the source tar files and the Win32 binaries for
-Bacula version 2.4.3 have been released to the Bacula Source Forge download
-area.
-
-Release 2.4.3
- This is a bug fix to version 2.4.2. All daemons are compatible
- with other 2.4.x versions.
-
-Bugs Fixed:
- 1159, 1162. 1149, 1128, 1143, 1140, 1129
-
-Change Summary:
-- Apply 2.4.2-cancel-non-running-jobs.patch to be able to cancel
- a non created job faster.
-- This should correct bug #1159 where Migration does not properly
- respect the Migration Low Bytes directive.
-- Fix typo in configure.in that breaks --with-db-password option
-- This code should fix the race condition that leads to a Director
- crash at job end time when the job list is updated. This was reported
- in bug #1162.
-- Remove all double quotes from SQLite creating script and
- replace by single quotes as suggested by John Huttley.
-- Fix SQL case problem that may cause the failure of DiskToCatalog
- in bug #1149.
-- Copy missing storage name into edit buffer. As far as I can tell
- this never caused a bug.
-- Remove catalog dependency for bcopy
-- Modify catalog scripts to have an easier packaging integration,
- using default variables.
- Make difference between SQLite3 and SQLite in db_get_type()
-- Attempt to fix bug #1128 InChanger flag cleared during Migration
- job when reading from one autochanger and writing to another.
-- Add more information to SD acquire.c INFO messages.
-- Fix NULL Volume name error when reading and the drive must
- be switched.
-- Fix a Verify InitCatalog problem where in certain cases
- a garbage filename may be entered in the verification database. This
- fixes bug #1143.
-- Add space after version before date in bat about dialog.
-- Fix seg fault in Dir during estimate command with no level value
- given. This fixes bug #1140.
-- Add message to migration job when the target job is already migrated.
- This closes bug #1129.
-
-Unless some really serious new bug shows up, this will be the last release
-until the next major version (3.0.0), which we hope will be ready around the
-end of the year.

-Bacula version 2.4.2 Released
-This is to inform you that we have released the source and Win32 binaries of
-Bacula version 2.4.2 to the Bacula Source Forge download area.
-
- This is an important bug fix release since version 2.4.1.
-
-Bugs Fixed:
- 1034, 1125, 1118, 1124, 1107, 1129, 1126
-
-Change Summary:
-26Jul08
-- When a migration job actually runs, re-check the Job record
- and skip if the job is already migrated. This should
- significantly reduce the problems with bug #1129.
-- Break the do_swapping into do_unload, do_swapping, and
- do_load. It is much more logical that way.
-- Implement a set_dcr_from_vol subroutine in acquire.c for
- reading volumes. This allows the dcr to be refreshed after being
- zapped when the wrong volume is mounted. This should fix bug #1126 -
-- During multiple tape restore, bacula
- does not ask for physical tape change, but rereads same tape
-- Apply patch submitted for bug #1107 with a small modification.
- This fixes a bug where bcopy copied too many records.
-- Make some tweaks to bsmtp based on patch submitted in bug #1124.
- This fixes bug #1124.
-- Make the default bat restore Pool be Any. This fixes bug #1118.
-- Fix bug #1125 which reports a SD crash at the end of a tape
- during restore. It was a debug statement that should not be
- in a release.
-- Fix #1034 by setting big timeout on mysql connections
-- Do partial integration of the Win32 bat build created by Eric.
-- Ensure that SD tried to mount a volume not in an autochanger
- at least once before asking for operator intervention.
-- Fix a pthreads bug in the Win32 pthreads emulation code affects only
- version 2.5.x and above.

-Bacula version 2.4.1 Released
-This is to inform you that we have released the source and Win32 binaries of
-Bacula version 2.4.1 to the Bacula Source Forge download area.
-
-Bugs Fixed:
- 1103, 1100, 1105, 1094, 1109, 1106, 1101, 1102, 1112
- 1117, 1116, 1097.
-
-Change summary:
-- Clear in-use bit on vol when unused while swapping.
-- Remove sleep at end of ./bacula
-- Clear hash packet for hardlinked files correctly. This corrects
- a long standing bug where hardlinked files selected individually
- would occasionally not be restored.
-- Apply Eric's patch to ensure that autoprune does not return
- a Volume not in the autochanger unless requested to do so.
-- Correct bat restore display of multiple drives. This fixes
- bug #1117.
-- Do find_a_volume() each time an unload is done. This
- fixes the failure of maxvol2-test.
-- Use Qmsg() in job.c watchdog callback.
-- Release main control rwlock if ABORTing.
-- Make watchdog connect timeout queue messages rather than sending
- directly to avoid lock conflicts with the real thread.
-- Remove const char that causes problems with Python, which has
- older 'incorrect' headers.
-- Add const char in dbd.c to avoid compiler warnings.
-- Fix mtx-changer to detect both versions of Ubuntu (Debian)
- mt. This fixes bug #1116.
-- Fix failure of 2drive-concurrent-test. Always read label;
- clear_unload() only after drive is defined in acquire_for_read().
-- Generally clean up the manual tape loading code. The main
- conceptial change is that when a volume is marked to be unloaded,
- its volume name is retained, and it is only marked as unloaded
- when either the autoloader says it is unloaded or another tape
- is read on that drive.
-- Fix a recycling problem with two autochangers reported in bug
- #1106. This may also (unlikely) fix a second recycling bug as
- reported in #1103.
-- Fix a SD lock volumes deadlock problem reported in bug #1100.
-- Fix format problem in bscan output reported in bug #1105.
-- Copy more data when restarting a job so that run
- overrides are kept. This should fix bug #1094.
-- Backport updates to jobq.c where possible.
-- Fix bug where SD did not ask operator if the device could not
- be opened. Reported by Eric.
-- Add dbuser to DIR conf file (replaces user).
-- Add --with-db-password to ./configure
-- Fix regress to handle db_password.
-- Fix a couple of pedantic compiler warnings.
-- Fix bug when starting a restore on a storage that doesn't
- have the requested MediaType.
-- More work on word alignments -- eliminate all ints from
- the configuration routines.
-- Fix bug reported by Scott Barninger where the bacula script
- refers to scripts in the wrong directory. Needed to meet the
- requirements of recent FHS location changes.
-- Fix word alignment problem on non-Intel 64 bit machines
- such as Solaris. This should fix bug #1097 -- bus error in SD.
-- Add missing win32/patches/wxWidgets.patch to 2.4 repository.

-Bacula version 2.4.0 Released
-This is to inform you that we have released the source and Win32 binaries of
-Bacula version 2.4.0 to the Bacula Source Forge download area.
-
-This release consists mainly of a number of bug fixes since 2.2.x
-but most importantly, a rewrite of significant portions of the
-Storage daemon reservation and autochanger code. This rewritten
-code is simpler, more stable, and works much better, particularly
-with multiple drive autochangers than the prior code did. That
-said, there are still a number of issues to be resolved. Note,
-the new code has not been tested in manual volume mount situations.
-
-As usual, we strongly recommend when installing to keep the Director and the
-Storage daemon on the same version. However, since this release only
-contains refactored code and bug fixes rather than new features, the clients
-(File daemons) should function perfectly with any 2.2.x version, and there is
-no database upgrade needed.
-
-=====================================================
-
- Release Notes for Bacula 2.4.0
-
- Bacula code: Total files = 500 Total lines = 188,654 (*.h *.c *.in)
-
-This Director and Storage daemon must be upgraded at the same time,
-but they should be compatible with all 2.0.x File daemons, unless you
-use some of the new features that affect the FD. In other words, you should
-not have to upgrade all your File daemons when you upgrade. There is
-no database upgrade needed from version 2.0.x to 2.2.0 nor from version
-2.2.x to version 2.4.0
-
-================== Warning !!!!!! ==========================
-As of Version 2.4.0, the Win32 FD should not descend into
-any reparse point directory or reparse mount points unless the
-specified directory is explicitly mentioned at the top level of
-FileSet (as with Unix). A file that is linked to another file will
-be backed up, much like Unix hardlinked files. If you want
-reparse directories backed up, you must explicitly include them
-in your FileSet.
-======================================================
-
-This release consists mainly of a number of bug fixes since 2.2.x
-but most importantly, a rewrite of significant portions of the
-Storage daemon reservation and autochanger code. This rewritten
-code is simpler, more stable, and works much better, particularly
-with multiple drive autochangers than the prior code did. That
-said, there are still a number of issues to be resolved. Note,
-the new code has not been tested in manual volume mount situations.
-
-Bugs fixed:
- 1095, 1086, 1091, 1070, 1041, 1083, 1078, 1066, 1068, 1038
- 1062, 1065, 1046, 1047, 1031
-
-New features:
-- You can now build bat without the QWT libraries. Use
- --without-qwt as a ./configure option.
-
-Release Version 2.4.0
-- Update version to 2.4.0 to reflect the magnitude of the SD changes.
-- Make sure to clear JS_WaitMedia when operator mounts a Volume.
- This fixes bug #1095.
-- Add create_postgresql_database.sql to Win32 installer. Should
- fix problem reported by Juilio Monteiro.
-- Get correct slot when auto unloading a device. This fixes bug
- #1086.
-- Fix possible seg fault if SQL error.
-- Fix renaming a Volume, which used the wrong Volume name.
-- If operator has rewind tape, print warning, release tape and
- try once more. If tape is positioned somewhere, something went
- wrong, so mark the tape in error and try once more. Previously
- this error was fatal, now it produces an error message.
-- Ensure correct volume name displayed during restore
-- Fix a few more Coverity reported problems.
-- Fix #1091 about bad output in estimate command.
-- Modify autochanger locking to attempt to avoid race
- conditions.
-- Make sure device not busy before doing label command.
-- Display open() errors except when polling. Previously too
- many were suppressed. This should fix bug #1070.
-- Fix Win32 reparse points. Bacula will not recurse into any
- reparse point directory, including mount points, unless the
- directory is explicitly mentioned at the top level (same as
- with Unix). A file that is linked to another file will be
- backed up -- much as Unix does for hardlinked files.
- This fixes bug #1041.
-- Remove StorageId test when pruning and recycling (Eric's changes).
-- Fix buffer overruns detected by Coverity.
-- Implement --without-qwt
-- Fix layout of restore tree dialog
-- Add configure bat QWT libraries, so that bat can be built
- with or without the QWT libaries.
-- Implement regression that explicitly tests swapping a Volume
- from one drive to another.
-- Enhance disk-changer to detect most error conditions.
-- Fix SD code so that it properly swaps a Volume between drives.
- This fixes bug #1083.
-- Prevent a Volume that is being swapped from being freed from
- the volume list. This will most likely fix, at least partially,
- bug #1083.
-- Fix strippath so that it does not get a buffer overrun and crash FD.
- This fixes bug #1078.
-- Make inability to change owner/group when creating a dir only a
- warning rather than an error.
-- Fix SQL query in migration code
-- Fix bat seg fault at termination.
-- Add Bacula generated version to bat about box.
-- Backport development stream SD reservation system changes.
-- When wrong volume is mounted during read, unload_autochanger.
-- Stop searching for Volumes in SD askdir if DIR returns the
- same volume name twice in a row.
-- Rework class structures for VOLRES, DCR, and DEVICE to make
- the method names a bit more logical, and for more logically
- handling the responsibilities.
-- Remove redundant code in terminating the scheduler that just
- causes a seg fault in many cases.
-- Improve algorithm for detecting pre-reserved volume and
- swapping volumes.
-- Prevent volume from being released while being swapped.
-- Refactor parts of stored/mount.c
-- Add sanity checks for VolWriteTime and VolReadTime
-- Take care of bad clock changes while computing VolWriteTime
- and VolReadTime. This should fix or limit #1066
-- Correct error string numbers in dird/catreq.c
-- Restructure reserving, acquiring, and mounting volumes. Calls to
- autochanger are deferred for mount.c -- simplifes the code.
-- Do not prune any running job. It just fails the job.
-- Lock the volumes when changing dev->reserved_device and marking
- the volume unused otherwise the device can get reserved by
- another job before the volume is released, thus blocking it.
-- Correct some SD catalog request error messages.
-- Turn off code in read_record that causes a seg fault in the SD
- when reading past an EOS_LABEL.
-- Turn off unloading the autochanger in reserve.c as it just
- causes problems.
-- Lock volumes when unreserving a device.
-- Do not mark volume unused when recycling.
-- Fix bug #1068 fixes a SD crash when using Virtual autochanger.
-- Generate correct JobMedia records during spooling/despooling when
- running concurrent jobs. Thanks to Tom Ivar Helbekkmo
- <tih@hamartun.priv.no> for excellent analysis and testing.
-- *Massive* commit of all fixes and back ports to create 2.2.9
- Mostly SD reservations enhancements.
-- Fix Win32 FD backup/restore memory leak due to improper termination
- of BackupRead/Write. This fixes bug# 1038.
-- Fixes a StorageId problem with volumes after migration.
-- Implements autostart scripts for Debian
-- Fix mtx-changer.in for broken Debian mt program.
-- Apply doc fix from bug #1062.
-- Resolve crash and improper restore wx-console Win32 restore
- GUI. Fixes bug #1065.
-- Update Win32 wxWidgets to latest version.
-- Attempt to do correct handling of Win32 mount points. Should
- fix bug #1046.
-- Add const to AIX prototype for initgroups()
-- Fix to the JobMedia patch, which introduced a new problem.
-- Fix creating first JobMedia record during Migration to include
- proper index. This caused slow restores of migrated jobs.
-- Fix bug #1047, do not strip paths on symbolic links.
-- Set catalog backup database and user name from values specified on
- the ./configure line.
-- Apply patch to correct bug #1031, about wrong pool source information
- in job report.

-A serious data loss bug in Bacula version 2.2.4 found and fixed
-
-This bug was very elusive and time consuming to track down. It
-turned out to be a race condition that can lose the last one or
-two blocks of a Job, which can happen in rare cases only when
-running multiple simultaneous jobs when a volume fills and one
-Job finishes receiving the last data from the FD and at the same
-time a second job detects the end of the Volume. The bug was
-introduced in version 2.0.0 and did not exist in version 1.38.x.
-If the bug is triggered, the data is lost (not written to the
-Volume), and it can occur for any backup job of any level under
-the conditions noted above.
-
-The bug is reported in the bugs database as bug #964, and just
-this morning I found and tested a fix, which is attached as a patch
-to the bug report. The patch (2.2.4-lost-block.patch) is also
-uploaded to the bacula-patches 2.2.x release area. This bug may
-also be part of the problems reported in bug #935 and possibly
-#903.
-
-Also in the bacula-patches 2.2.x area, you will find other
-patches that fixes bugs #953, 966, 967, 965, 958, 908, and
-955. Please refer to bugs.bacula.org for the details.
-
-Though this bug quite serious (data loss), it should be rare.
-However, we recommend everyone to apply the patch.

-Bacula version 2.2.4 Released
-
-This version of Bacula is a minor bug release to version 2.2.3.
-It contains the following fixes:
-
-- Possible fix for authorization problems bug #953.
-- Possible fix for bug #908.
-- Add waits to multiple exit detection code to try to force pid
- file to always be deleted.
-- Restore good dev.tar.gz to rescue set appropriate binary property.
- This fixes bug #950.
-- Fix seg fault in error exit of acquire_for_read after unsuccessfully
- trying to switch drives by checking for blocking before unblocking.
- Fixes bug #906.
-- Cancel storage daemon in all cases where FD reports error. This
- should fix virtually all cases of bug #920 and will ensure that Devices
- are released as soon as possible.
-- Fix error message that was clobbered when Dir tells SD it does not
- have write permission on Volume. This should fix a minor point
- in bug #942, but not the main problem.
-- Fix migration code to get correct Volume name with multiple volumes
- by skipping |. Fixes bug #936.
-- Implement patch supplied by Landon to fix bug #944 where using
- TLS with bconsole uses 99+% of the CPU.
-- Fix bug #946 about "bacula-dir -t" which doesn't works
- as expected.
-- Using "m" in bconsole will show messages as in prior versions
- and not memory usage.
-
-- Note, you need GTK >= 2.10 to be able to link the Tray Monitor
- program.

-Kern;;;2007/9/9;;;14:30
-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.
-
-For the technical details of the bug, please see:

-Kern;;;2007/8/11;;;14:30
-
-Bacula Version 2.2.0 has been released to Source Forge.
-
- Release Notes for Bacula 2.2.0
-
- Bacula code: Total files = 520 Total lines = 195,550 (*.h *.c *.in)
- 82 new files, 41,221 new lines of code, 208,380 lines of change from 2.0.3
-
-This Director and Storage daemon must be upgraded at the same time,
-but they should be compatible with all 2.0.x File daemons, unless you
-use some of the new features that affect the FD. In other words, you should
-not have to upgrade all your File daemons when you upgrade. There is
-no database upgrade needed from version 2.0.x to 2.2.0.
-
-Areas requiring caution or testing:
-- You must have the thread safe version of MySQL client libraries loaded
- to build with MySQL enabled.
-- Volumes are pruned only when absolutely necessary -- this may cause
- your database to grow compared to prior Bacula versions.
-- Solaris door and even port files are no longer restored (equivalent
- to what we do with sockets).
-- SQLite is no longer supported for Solaris -- it fails too often with
- bus errors. SQLite3 should work on Solaris.
-- The default setting for SQLite3 is now 'PRAGMA synchronous=OFF'.
- This makes it run 30 times faster, but increases the possiblity
- of a corrupted database if your server shuts down unexpectedly.
- The default behavior can be changed in src/version.h
-- Restore on Win32, and in particular on Vista is untested. Please
- test before relying on it. It should backup and restore reparse
- points.
-- Win32 servers are untested, and very likely not to work.
-
-The major new features are:
-- Much faster insertion of attributes (somewhere around 10 times),
- many thanks to Eric Bollengier and Marc Cousin.
-- First release of bat (Bacula Administration Tool). Note to build
- bat you must explicitly enable it on the ./configure line, you
- must have the Qt4 version 4.2 or later libraries loaded, the qwt
- (Qt Graphics) package loaded, and qmake and the other Qt4 tools
- must be available. Most of the implementation was done by Dirk Bartley.
-- Red/Black restore in memory tree (500 times faster loading).
-- The Regex Where code to allow easier relocation of restored files
- thanks to Eric.
-- Socket level heartbeat for all connections (untested).
-- posix_fadvise() use in the FD to improve performance reduces
- swapping due to opening/reading lots of files. Win32 equivalent
- implemented.
-- Much improved Volume reservation code that should eliminate most
- conflicts experienced in multiple drive autochangers.
-- Simpler locking in the SD in the reservation system.
-- Detection of file size/date change during backup if enabled.
-- New Recycle Pool feature -- thanks to Eric.
-- Efficient implementation of very large include/exclude lists.
-- Volumes are no longer pruned during 'status dir'
-- Pruning is now more efficient, and if a Volume is purged,
- during pruning, it is immediately discovered.
-- License is now GPL v2 without modifications, fix a few copyright
- mistakes made when adding FSFE copyright notice.
-
-New ./configure options:
-- --enable-bwx-console
-- --enable-bat
-- --with-qwt=
-- --with-db-name=
-- --with-db-user=
-- --enable-batch-insert
-
-New bconsole commands:
-- exec
-- memory
-- update recyclepool
-- .sql
-- .api
-- .pwd (in restore tree)
-- restoreclient (keyword)
-- backupclient (keyword)
-- regexwhere (keyword)
-- update jobid (new command)
-- recyclepool (keyword)
-
-New directives:
-- Heartbeat Interval (bconsole.conf)
-- Heartbeat Interval (bacula-dir.conf in Director, Client, Storage)
-- TLS Allowed CN (bacula-dir.conf in Client)
-- Regex Where (bacula-dir.conf in Job)
-- Strip Prefix (bacula-dir.conf in Job)
-- Add Prefix (bacula-dir.conf in Job)
-- Add Suffex (bacula-dir.conf in Job)
-- Recycle Pool (bacula-dir.conf in Pool)
-- FailJobOnError (bacula-dir.conf in RunScript)
-- CheckFileChanges (bacula-dir.conf in FileSet)
-- StripPath (bacula-dir.conf in FileSet)
-
-Other features or bug fixes:
-- Fixed bugs: 916, 910, 917, 914, 906, 907,
- 842, 830, 893, 861, 888, 886, 807, 877, 872

- 788, 780, 763, 782, 612, 767, 775, 621, 772, 764,
- 766, 621, 761, 755, 750, 741, 747, 742, 744, and 743.
-- Configure bat with --enable-bat. Define qwt libraries with
- --with-qwt=<dir>. See Installation chapter of manual for details.
-- Create a depkgs-qt package that has both Qt4 and qwt, which are
- needed to build bat. Most modern Linux systems will have both
- these packages in the distro.
-- Storage overrides delete all previous storage definitions instead
- of prepending.
-- One should be able to mount and unmount removable devices if the
- Device resource has Removeable Media set and the mount and unmount
- directives are defined.
-- ./configure will do a better job of searching for qwt libraries.
-- The Win32 version can no longer be shutdown from the tray monitor.
- Use the command line or the Services panne.
-- Keep prune_volumes() from pruning the whole Scratch pool.
-- More debug output in status storage.
-- Correct moving a Scratch volume from pool to pool (some
- critical columns were lost).
-- Different locking in reservations and despooling systems,
- which means more micro-locking and less macro-locking, which
- should give a lot more concurrency at the expense of slightly
- (<0.1%) more overhead due to more locking/unlocking, but
- concurrent jobs should run much faster.
-- Additional drive reservation algorithm that should solve a lot of
- the problems experienced with multiple drive autochangers.
-- Storage daemon status command enhanced to more clearly show Volume,
- pool and media type when a job is waiting.
-- Made bsmtp work with more strict SMTP servers.
-- Detect doubly freed buffers in smartall.c
-- wx-console renamed to bwx-console (Fedora request)
-- gnome-console renamed to bgnome-console (Fedora request)
-- Migration preserves original job's FileSetId
-- Spooling implemented for migration jobs.
-- Config files can be read through a pipe, by specifying a leading |
- in front of the configuration path/filename.
-- New memory command (bconsole) that will print the current Director's
- memory usage, and an in use buffer dump.
-- Console name changed from *Console* to -Console- to accomodate Win32
- filename restrictions.
-- Corrected the Win32 ftruncate bug.
-- Additional version information added to Job reports.
-- New -8 option for bsmtp to specify UTF-8 encoding type.
-- bsmtp will no longer add < > to target (from, to, cc) if there
- is already a < in the target.
-- Prefer Mounted Volumes extended to mean a volume that is being
- mounted by another job.
-- Runscript timing set to same as version 1.38.11
-- New TLS Allowed CN directive(s) permitted.
-- New bconsole 'exec' command to run external script/command.
-- Turn on FreeBSD/OpenBSD code to set EOT model on tape.
-- Drop from root done before database is opened.
-- Database user and name can be configured with:
- --with-db-name=name --with-db-user=user
-- Turn on wait_for_drive in mtx-changer script.
-- Rework how bar codes are handled in mtx-changer script.
- This appears to have been an unreported bug.
-- Updated nagios plugin supplied by Christian Masopust
-- Better restricted console ACL checking.
-- New Client Connect Wait directive in Storage daemon so that
- users can configure how long SD waits for FD connection.
-- Bacula will no longer permit pruning of the currently running
- job (note, if other jobs are running, they may be pruned).
-- Sockets are no longer restored.
-- dbcheck works in 300K chunks so will typically run faster.
-- Include/Exclude lists can now be efficiently handled for quite
- large sizes -- tens of thousands of entries.
-- Several memory leaks in migration and database usage were fixed.
-- New console keyword restoreclient, which specifies the client to
- which the restore will be sent. The client keyword specifies
- the backup client. The restoreclient keyword is optional if it is
- not specified, the backup client will also be the restore client.
-- The disk file size is now checked to ensure that it agrees with the
- catalog value before Bacula will append to the disk (same as tape
- and DVD).

- was opened, it is closed.
-10Feb07
-kes Modify dbcheck to handle orphaned JobMedia, Path, Filename,
- and File records in 300K chunks to be more efficient. This
- idea came from Juan Luis Frances (if I remember right).
-09Feb07
-kes Update projects list.
-08Feb07
-kes Fix dird/ua_cmds.c so that a cancel command checks if the
- console is authorized to cancel the job. This fixes bug
- #767.
-kes Modify SD so that the VolCatJobs medium record is updated
- at the beginning of a Job rather than the end. This
- fixes bug #775 where exceeding MaxVolJobs caused jobs
- to fail.
-kes Added a mutex around getting and setting Volume information
- so that multiple simultaneous jobs will single thread.
-07Feb07
- Switch to using Subversion
-kes Remove src/pygtk-console/ from configure
-06Feb07
-kes Delete src/lib/btree.c from win32 build, then add rblist.c
- plus the entrypoints.
-kes Apply patch supplied that corrects debug print
- in canceling jobs for max run time. Supplied as
- part of bug #621, which was previously fixed.
-05Feb07
-kes Test on job_canceled() and sd_msg_thread_done inside
- loop starting the message thread to avoid a race condition.
- Fixes bug #771.
-kes Remove rl_catch_signal from console.c as it conflicted
- with the header definition. Fixes bug #765.
-ebl Fixes bug #766 about RunsOnClient = Yes (case sensitive)
-04Feb07
-kes Clarify some stored/acquire messages to indicate if the
- problem is with read or append.
-02Feb07
-kes Fix memory leak with storage ids in cats/sql_get.c
-kes Terminate watchdog earlier to avoid reference to released
- memory -- reported by Jason Austin.
-kes Move closing the database from jobq.c to the director daemon
- termination routine. This fixes memory leaks for shadow jobs
- (i.e. migration jobs).
-kes Free up the unique jobid chain items in migrate.c. This fixes
- a memory leak problem.
-kes Convert some ugly looking for statements to use foreach_alist
- in findlib/find.c. This will facilitate converting the structures
- to use dlist (for large include/exclude lists).
-kes Fix a bug in the btree.c and btree.h routines, then rename them
- rblist and add them to be built in src/lib. Include some new
- methods written by Rudolf Cejka that make the code more readable
- (hides some of the ugly casting).
-26Jan07 (back port)
-kes Implement item #12 on project list -- quick release of FD by
- the SD. This is noted in more detail above.

-Bacula Version 2.0.1 has been released to Source Forge.
-This is bug fix update to version 2.0.0 and contains
-the following fixes:
-
-- Fix Bacula->Documentation link on Win32 to point to index.html
- instead of bacula.html. Fixed bug #750.
-- Return JobId in db_get_job_record() when JobId==0. This should
- fix bug #741.
-- Do not release source pointers when restarting a failed job.
-- Add dynamic dll entry point for SHGetFolderPath to Win32 code.
- This *should* fix bug #747.
-- Modify winbacula.nsi to substitute with g bin_dir_cmd. Should fix
- bug #742.
-- Modify USTORE constructor to set an empty store_source string,
- and don't copy the store_source string in a cancel. Hopefully
- this will fix Arno's seg fault, bug #744.
-- Add back code to disable conio in configure. Fixes bug #743.
-- Correct the Options scanner in the FD to correctly handle
- SHA1 option, which was eating the next option. Reported by
- Sebastien Guilbaud.
-- Add code to indicate when the SD is spooling, spool wait, and
- despooling as requested by Alan Brown.

- Release Notes for Bacula 2.0.0
-
- Bacula code: Total files = 438 Total lines = 154,329 (*.h *.c *.in)
-
-==== IMPORTANT Catalog update required =====
-- The database format has been updated from what was used in
- Bacula 1.38.x. You must manually update your database before
- running Bacula 1.39.x or higher. If you are using Bacula supplied
- RPMs this is not necessary as the RPM does it automatically.
- Please backup your previous version of the database before
- running the update. The update script will be automatically
- installed in your scripts directory, or can also be found in
- <bacula-source>/src/cats. It is called:
-
- ./update_bacula_tables
-
- It is necessary to run it only once the first time you move to
- a 2.0.0. Upgrading the Bacula version thereafter does not
- require updating the database again. Depending on the size of
- your database the script make take a bit of time, to run, but
- in general, it should be very fast.
-
-==== IMPORTANT new Win32 install procedure =====
- For Win32 migrations from versions prior to 1.39.0 nothing special
- needs to be done to upgrade. Everything should be taken care of
- automatically. The only thing not done is to delete the old C:\bacula
- directory mostly out of paranoia.
-
-==== IMPORTANT miscellaneous ====
-- The Gnome console program (gconsole) no longer functions as it
- should.More importantly, in restore mode, the restore tree is
- no longer shown in the left pane. I suspect this is due to
- incompatible changes in the GTK+ API, and hence have given up
- on gnome and gtk+, as this has already happened several times
- previously. At some point there will be a new GUI console.
-- The bacula-dir.conf directive Accept Any Volume has been
- removed because it was never implemented. You must delete all
- occurrence of this directive for the Director to run. The Storage
- daemon will automatically accept any valid Volume that you mount.
-- The --mandir ./configure option now points to the top level man
- directory. The man files will be installed under mandir/man8 and
- mandir/man1 as appropriate.
-- You *should* be able to use 1.38.x FDs with version 2.0.0 Director
- and SD providing you do not use any of the new features (runscript,
- data encryption). It seems to work here, but we do not guarantee it.
-- Your Director and SD must be simultaneously upgraded.
-- The restore command no longer uses the MediaType as the primary method
- of finding a suitable Storage device. Normally it will select the last
- device used to write a Volume. If no storage device is defined, it
- will use the old algorithm which selects the first Storage resource
- with the correct MediaType.
-- The MD5/SHA1 hash codes kept in the database are now kept in a binary
- format compatible with the rest of the world. If you are running verify
- jobs, you *must* do an InitCatalog or all files will show an MD5
- difference. Also, authentication uses the new algorithm by
- default, but *should* accept connections from older components (FD) using
- the old non-compatible algorithm. This has been tested, but more
- more testing is still needed.
-- A stock SuSE 10.1 kernel may crash when Bacula runs and accesses
- the tape drive. Workaround, load the SuSE 10.1 version 2.6.16.21-0.25
- kernel or later. The SuSE 10.2 Alpha 5 or later kernel also works.
- This problem may also be present in certain Fedora FC5 kernels.
-- If you have been using the data encryption feature of 1.39.x, please
- be aware that certain combinations of encryption and other options
- with version 1.39.0 through 1.39.26 created Volume data that cannot
- be restored. We strongly recommend that anyone using encryption
- carefully review his/her backups and at a minium do a Full backup
- with 1.39.28 of all encrypted data. Robert Nelson has identified
- and fixed it as follows:
- As of 1.39.27:
- No filters = Works fine
- Sparse = Works fine
- Compression = Works fine
- Encryption = Works fine
- Sparse + Compression = Works fine
-
- Sparse + Encryption = Restore broken
- Sparse + Compression + Encryption = Restore broken
- Compression + Encryption = Restore broken
-
- As of 1.39.28:
- Most combinations work, but some encrypted files are
- not properly restored.
-
- As of 1.39.30:
- All combinations work fine except Sparse+Encryption.
-
- Bottom line, if you are using data encryption, please test restoring
- data to be sure it all works correctly.
-- The current Volume format written by 1.39.22 is different from
- the format written by previous versions. The two formats
- are not compatible. Thus any DVDs written prior to 1.39.22 will
- be unreadable by version 1.39.22.
-- If you previously run a Bacula version prior to 1.39.30, the JobMedia
- data may not be correct for disk Volumes. This can cause incorrect
- seeking in versions after 1.39.30. If you experience what appears to
- be data I/O or integrity errors during restores, please add the
- following directive to your disk DEVICE resource in the Storage
- daemon conf file:
-
- Block Positioning = no
-
- This will turn off all seek requests during restores and avoid
- this problem.
-- VSS for Windows clients is now enabled by default.
-- Do not unload autochanger when doing "update slots"
-- Implement mount command for autochanger, see manual.
-
-New Features in 2.0.0:
-- Turn on disk seek code for restores.
-- There is a partial but reasonable translation of the Bacula
- messages for French. To install it, first configure and build
- Bacula, then as root run:
-
- cd <bacula-source>/po
- make install
-
- If you have your locale set properly you will get the translated
- messages.
-- Bacula now support Migration jobs that are documented in a new
- Migration chapter in the manual
- http://www.bacula.org/dev-manual/Migration.html
-- Data encryption is now implemented and is documented in
- a new chapter of the manual at:
- http://www.bacula.org/dev-manual/Bacula_Data_Encryption.html
-- Additional support for removable devices. See the
- Requires Mount, Mount Point, Mount Command, and Unmount
- Commands in the Storage daemon configuration chapter:
- http://www.bacula.org/dev-manual/Storage_Daemon_Configuratio.html
- Also see the Edit Codes for Mount and Unmount Directives in the
- same chapter.
-- Switch the Win32 build from using Microsoft C++ to using mingw32
- cross-compiling. The initial work was done by Howard Thomson,
- then tweaked by me. Robert Nelson then totally reworked the
- cross-compiling code so that it not only cross-compiles, but
- also compiles on Visual Studio, and at the same time, he added
- all the current Unix features to the FD, such as selection on
- drives, encryption support, building *all* the tools, ...
-- The Director and Storage daemon have now been ported to Win32.
- This code is working but should still be tested carefully
- before putting into production.
-- Bacula restore and bextract can now extract non-portable Win32 data to
- any client (including Unix/Linux clients). Of course, in doing so,
- the Microsoft specific permissions and ACLs will be lost. Thanks
- to Thorsten Engel for this code.
-- The 260 character limitation for Win32 paths name lengths is now
- eliminated thanks to Thorsten Engel. However, if you are using
- Volume Shadow Copy, please be careful to specify all the paths
- in the bacula-fd.conf file using a full path notation including
- the drive letter.
-- Eric Bollengier wrote new RunScript directives that includes
- the old RunBefore/AfterJob and ClientRunBefore/AfterJob features
- plus a *lot* more, allowing you to control just about every aspect
- of running scripts. See the manual for detailed documentation.
- http://www.bacula.org/dev-manual/Configuring_Director.html#5227
-- SunOS ACLs should now work thanks to a patch from David Duchscher.
-- Apply days keyword patch from Alexander.Bergolth at wu-wien.ac.at
- If this patch is applied, the number of days can be specified with
- "list nextvol days=xx"
- or
- "status dir days=xx"
- This can be used to preview the next scheduled job (and the
- next tape to be used) on Fridays if there are no scheduled jobs during
- the weekend.
-- From Eric Bollengier. One can now using the bconsole wait command do:
- wait (wait for all jobs to stop)
- wait jobid=nn
- wait jobuid=unique id
- wait job=job-name
-- Volumes can now be set to Enable, Disable, or Archive. If they
- are not enabled, Volumes will not be mounted.
- Implement update volume enable=(on|off|true|false|archived|0|1|2)
-- Add Catalog message destination in Messages resource that puts the
- job report in the Log database table.
-- Writing/reading DVD Volumes is much more stable -- to the point
- of being useful. Thanks to Richard Mortimer.
-- Add enable/disable job=<job-name>. This command prevents
- the specified job from being scheduled. Even when disabled,
- the job can be manually started from the console.
-- The database Id records should be 32/64 bit independent now. 64 bits
- can be enabled by changing one define and changing the appropriate
- table variable. Normally, you need 64 bits only for FileId.
-- Relative path specifications (i.e. ../xxx) are now permitted in
- the restore cd command.
-- When running multiple simultaneous jobs, most jobs that use spooling
- will now finish faster due to a mutex optimization made by Eric
- Bollengier.
-- Conf files containing UTF-8 marker at the head of the file as well as
- conf files containing Window cr/lf and Mac cr line termination characters
- are now accepted thanks to Robert Nelson.
-- Windows tray status windows are scrollable and resizable.
-- Win32 external script execution is much more flexible -- handles
- spaces in names better, ...
-- Lots of DVD fixes -- writing DVDs is now reported to work.
-- Fix opening of database in a restricted console to respect
- any Catalog ACL.
-- Much better automatic handling of multiple database catalogs in
- the restore command.
-- Permit multiple console/director resources in bconsole.conf.
- patch from Carsten Paeth calle@calle.in-berlin.de
-- Character substitution in Job/JobDefs WriteBootStrap.
- from Eric Bollengier.
-- Apply patch supplied in bug #656 to pass priority field
- in the run dialog to the Director in gnome console.
-- Add support of encrypted data stream to bscan from Eric.
- display data_len instead of data content (may be binary).
-- Add Enabled=xxx on update slots command.
-- Add host:port to connect failure messages to FD and SD from Dir/
-- Add WhereACL to console ACL list. If nothing is specified, only
- the default is permitted for restore. Otherwise, *all* allows any
- path, or you can specify permitted paths. This should allow control
- over where users can restore files. This is untested.
-- Install man pages with 'make install'.
-- Add Media.Enabled flag to client backups for dotcmds.c
-- Enforce Media.Enabled=1 for a current restore to work
-- Require restore case 3 to have sqlquery permission to work.
-- Add -n option to bconsole to turn off conio -- used in bweb.
-- The bytes field in the terminated jobs part of the status
- command now reports in KB, MB, ... units.
-- When not descending into a directory, print the File= name that
- triggered it -- makes why not descending a bit clearer
-- Do not unload autochanger when doing "update slots"
-- Implement mount command for autochanger
-- Fix bug #462 incorrect error message printed when client script called
- from File= was not found.
-- Fix bug #558 (waiting for feedback) where Bacula needs too much time to
- do a rewind on Solaris when no tape is in the drive (Solaris does not
- have the detailed errno found on Linux). Added Solaris specific code.
- Note, this may apply to other OSes as well.
-- The examples directory has a new bacula_mail_summary.sh file that
- creates a single email summary of any number of jobs. Submitted by
- Andrew J. Millar.
-- Add nagios plugin to the examples directory. Submitted by
- Christian Masopust.
-- Modify most restore error messages to be queued so that they
- appear at the end of the job rather than mixed with the restore
- listing where they could be "lost".
-- Apply patch supplied by user (slightly modified) to fix
- correct detection of holes in block devices and FIFOs.
- Bug # 506.
-- Added a report.pl program to the examples directory from Jonas Bjorklund.
-- Add two new queries to query.sql provided by Arno. One
- list volumes known to the Storage device, and the other
- lists volumes possibly needing replacement (error, ...).
-- Implement new code for changing userid and group at startup. This
- should get Bacula into the correct groups.
-- Implement support for removable filesystems -- device type directive
- and mount, unmount directives.
-- Transfer rates are now presented in a more readable format thanks
- to a user submission.
-- SD is now aware of what volumes are mounted. More information is printed
- in the Status report. You must take much more care now to unmount
- devices prior to removing tapes that Bacula has open or prior to
- changing a magazine. Don't forget to do a mount afterwards or the
- device will be blocked.
-- The Pool Maximum Volumes directive is now respected in all places.
-- A Storage device can now be specified in a Pool resource. It will override
- all other Storage specifications.
-- Most but not all directives accept true/false in place of yes/no.
-- A patch from Karl Hakimian that reads JobIds, FileIndexes
- from a database table for restore.
-- There are a number of new tables. Some such as the Location table are
- designed for user use in doing Volume Management software.
-- Maximum Changer Wait, Maximum Open Wait, Maximum Rewind Wait to
- accept time qualifiers.
-- Implement jobuid to replace old usage of job in keywords as
- suggested by Eric Bollengier.
-- Implement write variables for Python to set Priority (anytime), and
- Job Level, only during JobInit event.
-- Use the keyword ujobid to mean the unique job id; job or jobname
- to mean the Job name given on the Name directive, and jobid to
- be the numeric (non-unique) job id.
-- Allow the SD to use multiple drives during a backup/restore (only
- one at a time).
-- Integrate addition of line count limitation to bsmtp -l from
- Sebastian Stark <stark at tuebingen.mpg.de>
-- Split the bacula start/start script into four files:
- bacula -- starts and stops calling other scripts
- bacula-ctl-dir -- starts/stops the director
- bacula-ctl-fd -- starts/stops the File daemon
- bacula-ctl-sd -- starts/stops the Storage daemon
-- Remove automatic case folding on Windows FDs. You must
- explicitly use the 'Ignore Case = yes' option.
-- Implement wild program in tools directory for testing
- wild-cards. Almost identical to the regex program.
-- Use the new bregex.c to implement Regex expressions on Win32.
-- Apply patch from Christopher Hull
- - Allow multiple connections to database with different
- parameters.
- - Invalidate the scheduler when doing a reload. Fixes seg
- fault, but still 60 second window.
- - Additional info in Reschedule message.
- - Use set_jcr_job_status() everywhere to prevent loss of
- cancel, error.
- - Display peer IP in FD if error from connecting DIR.
- - Don't increment file count for DIRBEGIN.
- - Replace illegal characters in Win32 filename by _.
- - Add SE_CREATE_PERMANENT_NAME privilege in Win32.
- - Hash hard link filenames rather than linked list (performance).
- - Fix for security failure in chdir on Win32.
- - Add CreateDirectoryA/W win32 API entry points.
-- programs to duplicate Bacula's base64 algorithm using standard
- routines. This fixes bugs #296, and 565. Patch submitted by
- author of bug #565.
-- Fixes to reloading the Dir conf file from Eric Bollengier and Christopher
- Hull.
-- Modify LICENSE to correct some problems pointed out by Debian.
-- Apply a patch submitted by cesarb in bug #606 to implement O_NOATIME support.
- O_NOATIME is a open() flag which makes it possible to read a file without
- updating the inode atime (and also without the inode ctime update which
- happens if you try to set the atime back to its previous value). It also
- prevents a race condition when two programs are reading the same file, but
- only one does not want to change the atime. It's most useful for backup
- programs and file integrity checkers (and bacula can fit on both
- categories).
- You enable it in the Bacula FileSet Options resource by setting:
- noatime = yes
- The effect of this option is similar to the keepatime option except
- it is more efficient and avoids modifying ctime.
-- Implement a pile of new man pages contributed by Jose Tallon.
-- Modify the database format for handling Migration jobs:
- Add PriorJobId, RealEndTime to Job table
- Delete MAC table
- Remove Stripe from JobMedia record (not used, wasting space)
- Add ScratchPoolId, RecyclePoolId, Enabled to Media record
- Add Cost to Location table.
- Enabled to Media table and Location table.
-- Security: harden authentication failure in FD by single threading errors
- and forcing a 6 second wait.
-- If using GCC (actually g++) add the following compiler flags
- -fno-strict-aliasing -fno-exceptions -fno-rtti
-- Turn on new bsnprintf() code. The reason for this code is to
- eliminate the security problems associated with using the
- system libraries print routines.
-- Implement job report that indicates where Storage and Pool
- came from -- with overrides and Pool storage and NextPool,
- it is all very complicated.
-- Add more detail (Storage, Device) to list of volumes printed
- for restore.
-- Add new VOLMGMT message class. No messages are yet sent with this
- class.
-- Improved Bacula rescue procedures -- see the Disaster Recovery
- chapter of the manual
-- Add spooling/despooling info in status output of SD.
-- Add Comment field to llist of a volume.
-- Allow true/false in many but not all yes/no directives.
-- The Bacula source code is now copyrighted by the Free Software
- Foundation Europe. The Developer's Guide documents the new procedures,
- and the LICENSE file has been updated.
-- Apply Jaime Ventura's patch that implements the Messages resource
- Mail On Success directive.
-- The Client returns its Version string, which is printed in the Job
- report.
-- The Client returns whether or not VSS and Encryption are used, which
- are printed in the Job report.
-
-Additional Features Added for Win32:
-- Added DriveType directive to the Director's Include Option FileSet
- resource. Allowed values are: fixed, removable, cdrom, and remote. There
- is only an implementation for Windows because it is the only platform that
- has the concept of drives.
-
-- Adds EnhancedWild directive to the Director's Include Option FileSet
- resource. Allowed values are: yes and no.
-
- When EnhancedWild is enabled then the processing of the
- Wild, WildDir and WildFile is changed in the following ways.
-
- Patterns conform to Posix
- \ is not a special character in character classification []
- To match a - it must be the first or last character
- To match a ] it must be the first character
-
- fnmatch option FNM_FILE_NAME is specified * doesn't match a /
- so it won't match multiple directory levels in a path
-
-- Relative WildFile patterns (ones without a leading /) match
- against the filename portion. This in combination with the
- FNM_FILE_NAME fnmatch() flag makes directives such as WildFile =
- abc*.def work as expected.
-
-- Adds support for the shell's feature of brace expansion.
-
- Here is an example where braces allow 24 lines to be expressed in 5.
-
- # Exclude directories full of lots and lots of useless little files
- WildDir = "[A-Z]:/{Documents and Settings,{WINNT,Windows}/Profiles}/*/Cookies"
- WildDir = "[A-Z]:/{Documents and Settings,{WINNT,Windows}/Profiles}/*/Recent"
- WildDir = "[A-Z]:/{Documents and Settings,{WINNT,Windows}/Profiles}/*/{Local Settings,LOCALS~1}/History"
- WildDir = "[A-Z]:/{Documents and Settings,{WINNT,Windows}/Profiles}/*/{Local Settings,LOCALS~1}/Temp"
- WildDir = "[A-Z]:/{Documents and Settings,{WINNT,Windows}/Profiles}/*/{Local Settings,LOCALS~1}/Temporary Internet Files"

-We have released Bacula Version 5.2.1 to Source Forge
-
- Release Notes for Bacula 5.2.1
-
- Bacula code: Total files = 1,110 Total lines = 231,439 (Using SLOCCount)
-
-General:
---------
-
-This 5.2.1 version is a major release since the last version 5.0.3.
-It includes well over 299,387 lines of changes made by 20 contributors,
-lots of bug fixes (see below), 1,851 software commits,and a
-number of important new features:
-
-Version 5.2.0
--------------
-Version 5.2.0 was short lived, because Marco (thanks) found
-a number of last minute bugs. So the first official release of 5.2
-is 5.2.1.
-
-Compatibility:
---------------
- As always, both the Director and Storage daemon must be upgraded at
- the same time.
-
- Older 5.0.x and 3.0.x File Daemons are compatible with the 5.2.1
- Director and Storage daemons. There should be no need to upgrade older File
- Daemons.
-
-Main New Features:
-------------------
-- LZO Compression
-- New Tray Monitor
-- Purge Migration Job
-- Changes in Bvfs (Bacula Virtual FileSystem)
-- Changes in the Pruning Algorithm
-- Ability to Verify any specified Job
-- Additions to RunScript variables
-- Additions to the Plugin API
-- ACL enhancements
-- XATTR enhancements
-- Class Based Database Backend Drivers
-- Hash List Enhancements
-
-Some of the above are described below; all the above are
-described in more detail in the New Features chapter of the
-manual.
-
-Closed Bugs since 5.0.3:
----------------------
-1389 1444 1448 1466 1467 1468 1476 1481 1486 1488 1493 1494 1497 1499 1501

-
-
-================== Warning !!!!!! ==========================
-
- The new pruning algorithm will not allow pruning of jobs that are essential to
- restore since the last Full backup. This is, of course, correct and desirable,
- but it is different from older Bacula versions that could inappropriately
- prune jobs. Pruning of volumes is not affected.
-
-Building Bat:
--------------
-To build Bat, you need Qt4 version 4.6.2. If you build with any other
-version it is likely not to work. If you do not have version 4.6.2, on
-your system, you can download the Bacula depkgs_qt version 16Dec10.
-
-Packaging the SQL backend:
---------------------------
-The main Bacula Director code is independent of the SQL backend
-in this version. This means that the Bacula Director can be packaged
-by itself, then each of the different SQL backends supported can
-be packaged separately. It is possible to build all the DB backends
-at the same time.
-
-- configure can be run with multiple database configure options.
- --with-sqlite3
- --with-mysql
- --with-postgresql
-
-Order of testing for database is
-- postgresql
-- mysql
-- sqlite3
-
-Each configured backend generates a libbaccats-<backend_name>-<version>.so
-A dummy catalog library is created named libbaccats-version.so
-
-At configure time the first detected backend is used as the so called default
-backend and at install time the dummy libbaccats-<version>.so is replaced with
-the default backend type.
-
-If you configure all 3 backends you get 3 backend libraries and the postgresql
-gets installed as the default. When you want to switch the default you can
-copy one of the 3 backend libraries over the libbaccats-<version>.so e.g.
-
-cp libbaccats-postgresql-<version>.so libbaccats-<version>.so
-
-And update the default backend in the following files:
-
-create_bacula_database
-drop_bacula_database
-drop_bacula_tables
-grant_bacula_privileges
-make_bacula_tables
-make_catalog_backup
-update_bacula_tables
-
-New Catalog format in version 5.2.0 and greater
------------------------------------------------
-This release of Bacula uses a new catalog format. We provide a set of
-scripts that permit to convert a 5.0.x (version 12) catalog to 5.2.1 (version
-14). The Bacula project rpm spec files have been modified to
-detect the database change and do the upgrade for you. We strongly
-recommend that you save a copy of your existing database before upgrading
-using rpms.
-
-The simplest way to upgrade the database assuming you are building from
-source (i.e. manually):
-1. Stop any current version of Bacula from running.
-2. Save a copy of your existing database.
-3. Configure, build, and install the 5.2.1 version of Bacula
- Note the new ./configure options in the manuals see the link
- at the bottom of this file.
-4. cd <your-scripts-installation-directory>
-5. ./update_bacula_tables
-6. If you have multiple catalogs, edit the update_bacula_tables
- script and put the name of another database, and then
- execute the script again. Repeat this until all Bacula
- catalogs have been updated.
-7. Start the new Bacula. If everything worked, it should
- not print any error messages.
-
-If you start from scratch, you don't need to run the update_bacula_tables
-script because the create_bacula_tables script automatically creates the new
-table format. However, if you are using a version of Bacula older than 5.0.0
-(e.g. 3.0.3) then you need to run the update_bacula_tables script that will
-be found in the <bacula>/src/cats directory after you run the ./configure
-command. As mentioned above, before running this script, please backup your
-catalog database, and when you do running it, be sure shutdown Bacula and be
-aware that running the script can take some time depending on your database
-size.
-
-================================================================
-
-Changes:
-
-Speed and Memory Usage Enhancements:
-- Implement LZO compression algorithm (need lzo2 headers to activate this option)
-- New Pruning algoritm -- safer and faster
-- Use of PostgreSQL cursor when doing large queries, should reduce the
- memory usage during restore and accurate backups.
-- limit command in some list commands
-- Bacula Virtual File System for fast catalog access
-- Faster crc32 algorithm
-
-Security Enhancements:
-- Additional security against injection of illegal characters
-- Fix possible fnmatch problem
-
-Features Enhancements:
-- Improvements in ACL and xattr handling on additional platforms:
- AIX, Darwind, FreeBSD, HPUX, IRIX, Solaris, Tru64
-- Tray monitor for Windows
-- New SQL backend and ./configure that permits building multiple catalog
- backends in one build, and has the main Bacula core code totally independent
- of the SQL backend, which should simplify packaging (only the
- libbacsql.so/dll needs to be changed to switch from one database backend
- to another (e.g. MySQL to PostgreSQL).
-- Indent lsmark during restore
-- Disable batch insert config item
-- Director selection option in bconsole
-- restorejob command in bconsole
-- Many additional features for bat such as "brestore" panel
-- The old bat version browser has been turned off since it does not
- work correctly and the brestore panel provides the same functionality
-- Improved hash table for hard links
-- Additional script variable editing such as %b (JobBytes), %F (JobFiles)
- and %h (Client Address)
-
-Other Enhancements:
-- Includes better handling for Windows repares points, mount points, and
- junction points.
-- New database format
-- Many new plugin API features
-- Improved memory handling for restores
-- Significant stability enhancements to bat
-- xattr/ACL restore failure are now printed as Warning
-- A few path name length limits in Windows have been removed.

-We have released Bacula Version 5.0.3 to Source Forge
-
-This 5.0.3 version is significant bug fix update to version 5.0.2.
-It includes new code and some new features.
-There is no database change since prior versions of 5.0.
-
-Note, if you are running 5.0.0, read the 5.0.1 and 5.0.2 release notes below in
- the 5.0.1 release section.
- Important!!!
-
-Compatibility:
---------------
- As always, both the Director and Storage daemon must be upgraded at
- the same time.
-
- Older 5.0.x and 3.0.x File Daemons are compatible with the 5.0.3
- Director and Storage daemons. There should be no need to upgrade older File
- Daemons.

-- If possible, the SD will automatically update the catalog Volume size if
- it does not match the Volume size. The mismatch between the Volume sizes
- typically occurs when the FD has a comm line drop or the FD crashes.

-Bacula Version 5.0.1 has been released to Source Forge
-
-Bacula version 5.0.1 source code and Windows (32/64 bit) binaries have been
-released to Source Forge (thanks Eric).
-
-This is a major bug fix release including a few directives that have been
-rewritten, one new directive, and some different directive behavior (see the
-release notes below). As is usual for a patch release (last digit changes by
-one), this version is compatible with the 5.0.0 database and with prior
-clients. However, you *must* upgrade all components that are on any one
-machine (that is you must upgrade your Director, Storage daemon, and File
-daemon at the same time, if they reside on the same machine).
-
-Note, Bacula does not normally uninstall previous versions, and we have
-changed the shared object naming convention, so you might want to first save
-your configuration files then uninstall the old Bacula using the old Bacula
-uninstall prior to installing the new one. If you do not, it should not be
-serious, but you may be left with some older Bacula shared objects that are
-not used and hence wasting a small amount of disk space.
-
-If you are upgrading from version 3.0.x or prior, please see the full release
-notes as you must do a database upgrade. When updating from 5.0.0 to this
-release there is no database upgrade needed.
-
-Scott has made a number of changes and improvements in the rpm packaging over
-the past few weeks since version 5.0.0 was released, so he will probably be
-releasing the 5.0.1 rpms quite soon.
-
-Thanks for using Bacula :-)
-
-Best regards,
-
-Kern
-
-============= Performance Note ==================
-
-Some of you have encountered performance problems with your
-database (mainly with MySQL) with Bacula version 5.0.0. This is
-mainly because we've changed the SQL query used for restore,
-accurate jobs and base jobs. We have extensively tested this
-change, and though it should be a little bit slower than the previous
-versions, on a well configured database it should run
-extremely well.
-
-We strongly recommend to avoid the temptation to add new indexes.
-In general, these will cause very significant performance
-problems in other areas. A better approch is to carefully check
-that all your MySQL memory configuation parameters are are
-suitable for the size of your installation. If you backup
-millions of files, you need to adapt the database memory
-configuration parameters concerning sorting, joining and global
-memory. By default, sort and join parameters are very small
-(sometimes 8Kb), and having sufficient memory specified by those
-parameters is extremely important to run fast.
-
-If adjusting your MySQL memory configuration values does not
-solve your problem, you can also consider switching to
-PostgreSQL, which performs much better with Bacula on big
-installations (many millions of files per Job). However for
-large installations, you will also need to adjust the default
-PostgreSQL memory configuration parameters.
-
-==========================================
-
-
- Release Notes for Bacula 5.0.1
-
- Bacula code: Total files = 1,081 Total lines = 217,272 (Using SLOCCount)
-
-!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NOTE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-The Allow Duplicate Jobs directive has been significantly
-reworked, and the default value has changed. See below.
-
-Truncate On Purge has been totally rewritten. See the new
-features section of the manual.
-
-When Volume Poll Interval is set in the SD DEVICE configuration,
-(default 5 mins), after a certain number of polling tries (approx
-10) polling will stop and the operator will be asked to
-resolve the problem. Previously there was no limit, and an
-error message could be produced at each poll attempt.
-!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
-Changes since 5.0.0
--------------------
-- We believe that we have resolved most of the problems
- concerning canceled or failed jobs being "stuck" in the
- Director. There is one outstanding problem in the SD when
- canceling jobs that we will fix in the next major release.
- If you see jobs that seem to be stuck, in general issuing
- a cancel command in bconsole should now make them go away.
-
-Directives:
-- The default for "Allow Duplicate Jobs" has been changed from
- no to yes. If you use this directive, please check your
- conf file, and note the next two items !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-- AllowHigherDuplicates disabled. It did not work as documented
- and was confusing.
-- New directive "CancelLowerLevelDuplicates" See New Features
- section in the manual.
-- Truncate on Purge rewritten. See New Features section in the manual.
-
-Bug fixes:
-1448 1466 1467 1468 1476 1481 1486 1488 1494 1497
-1499 1501 1505 1509 1513
-
-- Ensure SD asks for help when looping even if poll set. Fixes bug #1513.
-- Fix three-pool regress bug
-- Modify bacula.spec fixes bug #1505
-- This version fixes an issue where the console window would start out
- docked. It is fixed by initiating the variables in the Pages class wi
- constructor.

-- Make shared libs version the same as the Bacula release version
-- Remove file_index sequential check
-- Fix #1466 about Bogus pruning message
-
-For Packagers:
-1. The default query.sql file is now, except for some comments, empty.
-The old file, which we no longer support (it is impossible or difficult to
-make it work on every backend, and the queries are mostly contributed) can
-be found in <bacula-source>/examples/sample-query.sql. The sample file is
-not installed by the Makefiles
-
-2. When you install the mtx-changer script, you must also install
-mtx-changer.conf if it does not exist. This new file (mtx-changer.conf) is
-required for mtx-changer to work, but it is a user configurable file, so on
-any update, any existing file should not be overwritten.
-
-3. Bat should be built on every platform that is capabable of running Qt.
-However, the Qt code is changing rather quickly and is not always
-compatible from version to version. We have built and verified bat on Qt
-4.3.4. We strongly recommend that you do not build and distribute bat with
-any other version of Qt unless you personally test it. To build against Qt
-4.3.4, download the depkgs-qt package from the Bacula Source Forge download
-location, read the README file and follow the instructions.
-
-If you are building for Bacula version 5.0.0, please ensure that you do not
-have qmake-qt4 loaded on your system. If you do, either remove it or
-rename it before trying to build bat. If you do not, bat will probably be
-built using the shared objects on your system. For Bacula 5.0.1 and later,
-this problem (bug) does not exist.
-
-depkgs-qt does not install Qt on your system, nor does it interfere with
-you having any other version of Qt installed on your system. Once you
-build bat with depkgs-qt, it should *not* use the Qt shared objects, but
-rather they will be linked into the program. After fully installing bat
-(make install), you can run "ldd bat" to see what shared objects it will
-use. If any Qt shared objects are referenced, something has gone wrong.
-
-4. Unless absolutely necessary, we recommend that you do not define any
-special library environment variables that apply to the ./configure -- for
-example: LIBDIR=/... ./configure <your-options> is strongly discouraged.
-Doing so, could potentially cause Bacula to be linked against the wrong
-shared objects.
-
-5. The Bacula project strongly recommends that you install Bacula into a
-single directory, with a few minor exceptions such as the MySQL or
-PostgreSQL databases. Preferrably this should be /opt/bacula. The full
-recommendation is:
-
-#!/bin/sh
-# Recommended configure script for Bacula
-prefix=/opt/bacula
-email=xxx@yyy.zz
-CFLAGS="-g -O2 -Wall" \
- ./configure \
- --sbindir=${prefix}/bin \
- --sysconfdir=${prefix}/etc \
- --docdir=${prefix}/html \
- --htmldir=${prefix}/html \
- --with-working-dir=${prefix}/working \
- --with-pid-dir=${prefix}/working \
- --with-subsys-dir=${prefix}/working \
- --with-scriptdir=${prefix}/scripts \
- --with-plugindir=${prefix}/plugins \
- --libdir=${prefix}/lib \
- --enable-smartalloc \
- --enable-tray-monitor \
- --enable-bat \
- --with-mysql \
- --with-dump-email=${email} \
- --with-job-email=${email} \
- --with-smtp-host=localhost \
- --with-baseport=9101
-
-Obviously, the email, and some of the minor options (mysql, postgresql,
-...) can be changed to suit your distribution, but the directory names
-defined above are strongly recommended, and over time the default values in
-the bacula-dir.conf and bacula-sd.conf will reflect these choices.
-
-If you have any questions about this or would like a detailed document
-describing our recommendations including packaging requirements, please
-send an email to the bacula-devel list.
-
-6. Starting with Bacula version 3.0.0 up to Bacula 5.0.0, the shared
-libraries that Bacula uses by default are named xxx-1.0.0. Starting with
-Bacula 5.0.1, we are going to name the libraries using the Bacula version.
-So in Bacula 5.0.1, the libraries will be named xxx-5.0.1. With future
-versions, the last digit may or may not change when we distribute patch
-updates (i.e. the last digit of the version changes). This will depend on
-whether or not we have changed something in the library. Hopefully this
-new procedure will resolve some of the incompatibility problems between
-different versions of the shared objects.
-
-7. The default build option for bconsole is conio (my own little console
-routines). I did this because some years ago, readline was very difficult
-to maintain -- it and where it was found seemed to change on every release.
-This generated at the time a number of support problems. It seems to me
-that since then there have been very few problems with readline. As a
-consequence, I have no problem if you want to make bconsole with readline
-enabled. It will actually give some very nice new bconsole command
-completion functionality that Eric has written. Bottom line: feel free to
-use readline or not as you please.
-

-Bacula Version 5.0.0 has been released to Source Forge
-
-Release Numbering:
------------------------------------------------------------
-You might be wondering why this release jumps from 3.0.x to
-5.0.0 thus skipping version 4.0.0. We have done this for
-several reasons: first, we wanted a way of distinguishing
-the numbering system for the Bacula System Enterprise version
-and the Bacula Project version. So, to do so, we have decided
-that the first number of the Bacula Project version will always
-be odd, and the first number of the Enterprise version will always
-be even. Thus the Bacula Project now moves from 3.0.x to 5.0.x.
-In addition, we want to keep the Bacula Project version larger
-than the Enterprise version to indicate that the Bacula Project
-version is more advanced or has more features than the
-Enterprise version. For memory, the current Enterprise version
-is 2.6.1, and the next release (in a few months -- before June 2010)
-will be version 4.0.0.
-
-Warning:

-
-Compatibility:
-As always, both the Director and Storage daemon must be upgraded at
-the same time, and on any given machine, you must run only one version
-of Bacula. This means that on the Director and Storage daemon machines,
-you *must* upgrade your File daemon as well.
-
-Older 3.0.x and possibly 2.4.x File Daemons are compatible with the 5.0.0
-Director and Storage daemons. There should be no need to upgrade older File
-Daemons immediately. However, we recommend that you do so as soon
-as is reasonable for your situation.
-
-================== Warning !!!!!! ==========================
-
-New Catalog format in version 5.0.0 (3.1.9 or later)
------------------------------------------------------
-
-This release of Bacula uses a new catalog format. We provide a set of
-scripts that permit to convert a 3.0.x (version 11) catalog to 5.0.0 (version
-12). The Bacula project rpms distributed on Source Forge will automatically
-detect the database change and do the upgrade for you. We strongly
-recommend that you save a copy of your existing database before upgrading
-using rpms.
-
-The simplest way to upgrade the database assuming you are building from
-source:
-1. Stop any current version of Bacula from running.
-2. Save a copy of your existing database.
-3. Configure, build, and install the 5.0.0 version of Bacula
- Note the new ./configure options in the manuals see the link
- at the bottom of this file.
-4. cd <your-scripts-installation-directory>
-5. ./update_bacula_tables
-6. If you have multiple catalogs, edit the update_bacula_tables
- script and put the name of another database, and then
- execute the script again. Repeat this until all Bacula
- catalogs have been updated.
-7. Start the new Bacula. If everything worked, it should
- not print any error messages.
-
-If you start from scratch, you don't need to run the update_bacula_tables
-script because the create_bacula_tables script automatically creates the new
-table format. However, if you are using a version of Bacula older than 3.1.9
-(e.g. 3.0.3) then you need to run the update_bacula_tables script that will
-be found in the <bacula>/src/cats directory after you run the ./configure
-command. As mentioned above, before running this script, please backup your
-catalog database, and when you do running it, be sure shutdown Bacula and be
-aware that running the script can take some time depending on your database
-size.
-================================================================
-
-
-================== Warning !!!!!! ==========================
-If you upgrade a previous Win32 client installation, you must
-first stop the File daemon, then uninstall it before attempting
-the upgrade. If you do not do so, the upgrade will probably
-fail and you will need to manually find and run the
-Uninstall.exe file, before you can upgrade to the new version.
-This is because the file locations are different. If you want
-to save your previous bacula-fd.conf file, please do so before
-uninstalling it.
-================================================================
-
-================== Warning !!!!!! ==========================
-Due to permissions problems on Windows Vista and later systems,
-we no longer require SYSTEM or Administrator permissions to
-access the binaries and configuation files. If you wish
-to restrict access to these files, please see the New Features
-section of the manual for how to set access control lists.
-================================================================
-
-Note, the Win32 Installer no longer installs the Bacula Servers
-(Director and Storage daemon). See the New Features section of
-the manual for more details.
-
-============ Documentation improvements needed ==================
-
-Note!!!!! The 5.0.0+ documentation has a number of known problems:
-
-1. We have reduced the number of manuals, which has fixed many
- of the broken links found in the old 3.0.x version, but there
- are still some that need fixing.
-
-2. Integration of the 3.0.x features into the main manuals has
- not yet been done.
-
-The documentation will not be completed in the near future due to lack
-manpower. If you are unhappy with this situation as we are, we suggest
-you help by submitting patches to the documentation. Thanks.
-=====
-
-
-This release includes large number of new features and changes.
-It should be more or less compatible with previous xx.conf files
-and File daemons providing that you are not using any of the new
-features.
-
-Please see the New Features chapter of the new manual, which documents
-some but not all the new features (we are still working on it):

-Bacula Version 3.0.1 has been released to Source Forge.
-
-Note, if you are not already running 3.0.0, please read the 3.0.0 release notes. Important!!!
-
-Version 3.0.1 is primarily a minor bug fix update to version 3.0.0 with
-one enhancement (see below).
-
-Changes since 3.0.0:
-Bug fixes:
- 1276, 1274, 1275, 1272 1246, 1268, 1281, 1282.
-
-Fixed:
-- Check for job_canceled() in fd_plugin code.
-- Update Win32 table creation to have new DB version 11 format
-- Remove illegal Options in Exclude of default Win32/64 bacula-dir.conf
-- Remove 'Reposition' messages when restoring

- drive reservation. This ensures that a Volume to be read will not
- be reserved for writing. Significant improvement in eliminating
- tape deadlock situations.
-
-Note, both the Director and Storage daemons must be upgraded at the
-same time. The 3.0.1 File daemons are compatible with 3.0.0 file
-daemons and as noted below in the 3.0.0 release notes the Director
-and Storage daemon should be compatible with 2.4.x File daemons.
-In general, we do not expect any of the 3.0.x File daemons to work with older
-Directors and Storage daemons (as has always been the case for Bacula
-releases).
-
-============ Documentation improvements needed ==================
-
-Note!!!!! The 3.0.0+ documentation needs rather extensive modifications in the
-following areas:
-
-1. Missing documentation.
-2. Correction of links within various manuals -- most fail.
-3. Integration of the new features into the main documents.
-4. Much more.
-
-The documentation will not be completed in the near future due to lack
-manpower. If you are unhappy with this situation as we are, we suggest
-you help by submitting patches to the documentation. Thanks.

-Bacula Version 3.0.0 has been released to Source Forge.
-
-This is to inform you that we have uploaded the Bacula version 3.0.0 source
-tar files and the Win32/64 installer files to the Bacula Source Forge
-download location.
-
-There are quite a number of new features in this release, and upgrading to it
-requires a database upgrade, so please read the release notes carefully
-(included below) and the documentation for the new features at:
-
-http://www.bacula.org/manuals/en/concepts/concepts/New_Features.html
-
-There is still a good deal of work to do to finish the release process (mainly
-reorganizing the web site manuals ...), but at least the source files are
-released. The rpms should follow shortly (probably this weekend).
-
-If you are currently using 2.4.4, please note that within a few months that
-version will no longer be supported, so please consider the possibility of
-upgrading.
-
-This release probably has the most new features that we have ever released,
-and it has taken a long time to produce it. The basic code is very well
-tested, and if you stick to 2.4.4 features, you are unlikely to experience
-problems. However, many of the new features have not been well tested, so
-your help will be appreciated.
-
-The following issues with 3.0.0 are known and we are working on them:
-
-1. The documentation is not 100% complete (there are so many new features that
-we missed documenting some).
-
-2. All the new documentation is in the New Features chapter, but not all of it
-has yet been integrated back into the appropriate chapters.
-
-3. James has reported that the Exchange plugin may crash if you cancel a job
-while it is running. He is working on this.
-
-4. The SD has many new features that will make it more stable. One in
-particular is that it knows what Volumes will be read during a migration,
-copy, or Virtual backup job, and will ensure that they are not selected for
-writing (something easy to do if you are using disk files and the same pool
-for reading an writing). However, the day after the release was cut, I found
-a problem with this code that prevents it from working properly during
-certain pre-allocations of the write tape.
-
-5. There is still an outstanding bug report on VSS failing (it seems to be a
-bit of a rare case).
-
-As I previously announced, we will now make 3.0.0 our main release source code
-stream, and we hope to release new version every six months and bug fix
-updates even sooner. To be able to do this, we will support version 2.4.4
-only for a few more months. There after the project will only support the
-most current release ...
-
-This release comprises a lot of work by a lot of different people and many
-contributions. Normally I hesitate to mention particular people or
-contributions because I always forget someone, but since this was such a big
-release, I would like to mention at least the big contributions:

- Release Notes for Bacula 3.0.0
-
- Bacula code: Total files = 520 Total lines = 205,459 (*.h *.c *.in)
-
-The diff between 2.4.4 and 2.5.x is 208,340 lines, so this release
-represents an enormous effort.
-
-This Director and Storage daemon must be upgraded at the same time,
-but they should be compatible with all 2.4.x File daemons, unless you
-use some of the new features that affect the FD. In other words, you should
-not have to upgrade all your File daemons when you upgrade. However, any
-release of version 2.5.40 or greater requires a database upgrade.
-
-================== Warning !!!!!! ==========================
-
-New Catalog format in version 3.0.0 (2.5.40 or later)
------------------------------------------------------
-
-This release of Bacula uses a new catalog format. We provide a set of
-scripts that permit to convert a 2.4.x (version 10) catalog to 3.0.0 (version
-11). The Bacula project rpms distributed on Source Forge will automatically
-detect the database change and do the upgrade for you. We strongly
-recommend that you save a copy of your existing database before upgrading
-using rpms.
-
-The simplest way to upgrad the database assuming you are building from
-source:
-1. Stop any current version of Bacula from running.
-2. Save a copy of your existing database.
-3. Configure, build, and install the 3.0.0 version of Bacula
- Note the new ./configure options in the manuals see the link
- at the bottom of this file.
-4. cd <your-scripts-installation-directory>
-5. ./update_bacula_tables
-6. If you have multiple catalogs, edit the update_bacula_tables
- script and put the name of another database, and then
- execute the script again. Repeat this until all Bacula
- catalogs have been updated.
-7. Start the new Bacula. If everything worked, it should
- not print any error messages.
-
-The upgrade operation will convert the FileId index field of the File table
-from 32 bits to 64 bits. This operation will take TIME and will *temporarily*
-DOUBLE THE SIZE of your catalog. Bacula must be shutdown during this update,
-so, won't be able to run jobs during this period. For example, a 3 million
-files
-catalog will take 2 mins to upgrade on a normal machine. Don't forget to
-backup it before executing the script.
-
-If you start from scratch, you don't need to run the update_bacula_tables
-script because the create_bacula_tables script automatically creates the new
-table format. However, if you are using a version of Bacula older than 2.5.40
-(e.g. 2.4.4) then you need to run the update_bacula_tables script that will
-be found in the <bacula>/src/cats directory after you run the ./configure
-command. As mentioned above, before running this script, please backup your
-catalog database, and when you do running it, be sure shutdown Bacula and be
-aware that running the script can take some time depending on your database
-size.
-
-
-Important New configure options :
-----------------------
-
-This release of Bacula 3.0.0 uses libtool by default
-to generate the Bacula libraries as shared objects rather than
-being directly linked in as in prior versions. This means that
-the Bacula shared objects, must either be in a shared object
-directory known to the loader or they must be in the directory
-where the Bacula binaries are installed. It is also possible
-to explicitly specify the libraries directory on the ./configure
-line (--libdir=/full-path/dir), but this should not be necessary.
-
- ./configure --libdir=<full-path>
-
-If you have problems with libtool or you wish to use the old
-way of building libraries and linking them into Bacula, you
-can do so by disabling libtool on the configure command line with:
-
- ./configure --disable-libtool
-
-During the installation of Bacula 3.0.0, it will now install
-bat help files (if you have configured bat). These files
-are placed in /usr/share/doc/bacula/html by default. If you
-want to put them elsewhere use:
-
- ./configure --htmldir=<full-path>
-
-During the installation of Bacula, it will now install the
-ReleaseNotes, License, technotes, ChangeLog, and similar
-files in /usr/share/doc/bacula by default. If you
-want to put them elsewhere use:
-
- ./configure --docdir=<full-path>
-
-During the installation of Bacula, any plugins will be
-installed in the plugindir, which is by default the
-same as libdir (/usr/lib). You can specify an alternate
-location with:
-
- ./configure --with-plugindir=<full-path>
-
-==============================================================
-
-This release includes large number of new features and changes.
-It should be more or less compatible with previous xx.conf files
-and File daemons providing that you are not using any of the new
-features.
-
-Please see the New Features chapter of the new manual, which documents
-some but not all the new features (we are still working on it):
-
-http://www.bacula.org/manuals/en/concepts/concepts/New_Features.html

-The ChangeLog has more details.

-Critical 2.4.3-orphaned-jobs.patch released
-We recently found and corrected a serious bug in Bacula that causes jobs to be
-orphaned or "stuck" in the director during the pruning process. Depending on
-what jobs get stuck and how many there are, it could prevent additional jobs
-from running. As best we can tell, this problem occurs only during what could
-be called extreme pruning conditions -- i.e. there are insufficient Volumes
-available for normal operations.
-
-In any case, we recommend that everyone apply the 2.4.3-orphaned-jobs.patch,
-which you can find in the bacula-patches section of the Source Forge download
-area as well as in the directory patches of both the trunk and Branch-2.4 SVN.

-Creation of Bacula Systems SA
-Dear Members of the Bacula Community,
-
-I'm pleased to announce the creation of Bacula Systems S.A., a new company to
-provide professional support and service for Bacula. I believe you will be
-pleased to see how we have married a strong commitment to the ethos of honest
-open source software with the availability of services desired by a wide
-range of Bacula users.
-
-As many of you know, I began work on Bacula in 2000 and released the first
-public version in April 2002 to Source Forge. Although I have personally
-written a very substantial part of the code, I offer sincere thanks to the
-many members of the community who have provided ideas, fixes, testing, and
-contributions of code, without which Bacula would not be what it is today.
-It has been a labor of love and I am pleased that so many people have found
-Bacula useful.
-
-Before telling you more about Bacula Systems, let me reiterate my unfaltering,
-ongoing commitment to open source software and the Bacula open source
-project. The code for Bacula and all future releases will remain available as
-free open source software under the GPL license that I transferred to the
-protection of the Free Software Foundation of Europe. Unlike some other open
-source projects, there will be no separate "enterprise" or proprietary
-version of the Bacula source code. www.bacula.org will continue to be the
-home for Bacula project development.
-
-So, why create Bacula Systems? The company was created to respond to requests
-from users who want professional support with guaranteed levels of service
-and response times. To ensure continuity and the highest level of knowledge
-transfer, I will take the position of Chairman of the Board and Chief
-Technical Officer of Bacula Systems S.A..
-
-Several members of the Bacula community have joined me to start the company.
-The other team members are also strongly dedicated to the spirit of keeping
-Bacula open and free while simultaneously offering commercial services to
-those for whom it is essential in making the decision to deploy Bacula.
-Bacula Systems is self-financed -- the initial capital comes from the
-founders; no outside venture capital was sought or accepted. This means we
-have the power to establish the company's priorities and we can remain
-dedicated to "honest open source". Bacula Systems S.A. is a Swiss company
-with offices in Yverdon-les-Bains, and with branches in France and Germany
-initially. We will open additional branches as business requires.
-
-I will continue to support development of Bacula via bacula.org and the Bacula
-community. Future developments will be in the "community" code base which
-will remain free. Bacula Systems will offer "funded development" to
-customers who wish to accelerate the addition of certain features to Bacula.
-Code developed this way will be contributed to the free distribution and will
-be available to the entire community at no charge. Bacula Systems will
-provide additional fee-based services, including high quality consulting,
-training, documentation and certified binaries.
-
-Our goal in establishing Bacula Systems is to be inclusive of the community,
-and expand it by creating opportunities for members of the Bacula community
-through a well-defined Partner Program. If you provide IT services or
-consulting, the Bacula Systems Partner Program can provide you with the
-additional back-up (pardon the pun) support you need to serve your customers
-more effectively.
-
-Our plan is to develop an international network of partners who offer high
-value added services to Bacula users -- installing, configuring and optimizing
-Bacula for their customers, as well as Level 3 and 4 support, with guaranteed
-service levels. We will also provide training and tools to our partners.
-
-The Bacula project website, www.bacula.org, and Source Forge will be unchanged
-in the mission and ideals of being free sources of information, mail lists
-and forum-based support for and by the community. Both Bacula source code and
-Bacula binaries will continue to be available for free, as in the past, and
-new releases will also be available for free. The new commercial website,
-www.baculasystems.com will provide information on commercial subscriptions
-for those users who want guaranteed levels of service, support, documentation
-and certified binaries.
-
-All members of the Bacula community are encouraged to register for free at
-www.baculasystems.com, so that you will receive announcements and news about
-our commercial activities, and so that you can send feedback to our new
-company, Bacula Systems.
-
-Thank you for your interest and participation in the Bacula community.

-Bacula version 2.4.3 Released
-This is to let you know that the source tar files and the Win32 binaries for
-Bacula version 2.4.3 have been released to the Bacula Source Forge download
-area.
-
-Release 2.4.3
- This is a bug fix to version 2.4.2. All daemons are compatible
- with other 2.4.x versions.
-
-Bugs Fixed:
- 1159, 1162. 1149, 1128, 1143, 1140, 1129
-
-Change Summary:
-- Apply 2.4.2-cancel-non-running-jobs.patch to be able to cancel
- a non created job faster.
-- This should correct bug #1159 where Migration does not properly
- respect the Migration Low Bytes directive.
-- Fix typo in configure.in that breaks --with-db-password option
-- This code should fix the race condition that leads to a Director
- crash at job end time when the job list is updated. This was reported
- in bug #1162.
-- Remove all double quotes from SQLite creating script and
- replace by single quotes as suggested by John Huttley.
-- Fix SQL case problem that may cause the failure of DiskToCatalog
- in bug #1149.
-- Copy missing storage name into edit buffer. As far as I can tell
- this never caused a bug.
-- Remove catalog dependency for bcopy
-- Modify catalog scripts to have an easier packaging integration,
- using default variables.
- Make difference between SQLite3 and SQLite in db_get_type()
-- Attempt to fix bug #1128 InChanger flag cleared during Migration
- job when reading from one autochanger and writing to another.
-- Add more information to SD acquire.c INFO messages.
-- Fix NULL Volume name error when reading and the drive must
- be switched.
-- Fix a Verify InitCatalog problem where in certain cases
- a garbage filename may be entered in the verification database. This
- fixes bug #1143.
-- Add space after version before date in bat about dialog.
-- Fix seg fault in Dir during estimate command with no level value
- given. This fixes bug #1140.
-- Add message to migration job when the target job is already migrated.
- This closes bug #1129.
-
-Unless some really serious new bug shows up, this will be the last release
-until the next major version (3.0.0), which we hope will be ready around the
-end of the year.

-Bacula version 2.4.2 Released
-This is to inform you that we have released the source and Win32 binaries of
-Bacula version 2.4.2 to the Bacula Source Forge download area.
-
- This is an important bug fix release since version 2.4.1.
-
-Bugs Fixed:
- 1034, 1125, 1118, 1124, 1107, 1129, 1126
-
-Change Summary:
-26Jul08
-- When a migration job actually runs, re-check the Job record
- and skip if the job is already migrated. This should
- significantly reduce the problems with bug #1129.
-- Break the do_swapping into do_unload, do_swapping, and
- do_load. It is much more logical that way.
-- Implement a set_dcr_from_vol subroutine in acquire.c for
- reading volumes. This allows the dcr to be refreshed after being
- zapped when the wrong volume is mounted. This should fix bug #1126 -
-- During multiple tape restore, bacula
- does not ask for physical tape change, but rereads same tape
-- Apply patch submitted for bug #1107 with a small modification.
- This fixes a bug where bcopy copied too many records.
-- Make some tweaks to bsmtp based on patch submitted in bug #1124.
- This fixes bug #1124.
-- Make the default bat restore Pool be Any. This fixes bug #1118.
-- Fix bug #1125 which reports a SD crash at the end of a tape
- during restore. It was a debug statement that should not be
- in a release.
-- Fix #1034 by setting big timeout on mysql connections
-- Do partial integration of the Win32 bat build created by Eric.
-- Ensure that SD tried to mount a volume not in an autochanger
- at least once before asking for operator intervention.
-- Fix a pthreads bug in the Win32 pthreads emulation code affects only
- version 2.5.x and above.

-Bacula version 2.4.1 Released
-This is to inform you that we have released the source and Win32 binaries of
-Bacula version 2.4.1 to the Bacula Source Forge download area.
-
-Bugs Fixed:
- 1103, 1100, 1105, 1094, 1109, 1106, 1101, 1102, 1112
- 1117, 1116, 1097.
-
-Change summary:
-- Clear in-use bit on vol when unused while swapping.
-- Remove sleep at end of ./bacula
-- Clear hash packet for hardlinked files correctly. This corrects
- a long standing bug where hardlinked files selected individually
- would occasionally not be restored.
-- Apply Eric's patch to ensure that autoprune does not return
- a Volume not in the autochanger unless requested to do so.
-- Correct bat restore display of multiple drives. This fixes
- bug #1117.
-- Do find_a_volume() each time an unload is done. This
- fixes the failure of maxvol2-test.
-- Use Qmsg() in job.c watchdog callback.
-- Release main control rwlock if ABORTing.
-- Make watchdog connect timeout queue messages rather than sending
- directly to avoid lock conflicts with the real thread.
-- Remove const char that causes problems with Python, which has
- older 'incorrect' headers.
-- Add const char in dbd.c to avoid compiler warnings.
-- Fix mtx-changer to detect both versions of Ubuntu (Debian)
- mt. This fixes bug #1116.
-- Fix failure of 2drive-concurrent-test. Always read label;
- clear_unload() only after drive is defined in acquire_for_read().
-- Generally clean up the manual tape loading code. The main
- conceptial change is that when a volume is marked to be unloaded,
- its volume name is retained, and it is only marked as unloaded
- when either the autoloader says it is unloaded or another tape
- is read on that drive.
-- Fix a recycling problem with two autochangers reported in bug
- #1106. This may also (unlikely) fix a second recycling bug as
- reported in #1103.
-- Fix a SD lock volumes deadlock problem reported in bug #1100.
-- Fix format problem in bscan output reported in bug #1105.
-- Copy more data when restarting a job so that run
- overrides are kept. This should fix bug #1094.
-- Backport updates to jobq.c where possible.
-- Fix bug where SD did not ask operator if the device could not
- be opened. Reported by Eric.
-- Add dbuser to DIR conf file (replaces user).
-- Add --with-db-password to ./configure
-- Fix regress to handle db_password.
-- Fix a couple of pedantic compiler warnings.
-- Fix bug when starting a restore on a storage that doesn't
- have the requested MediaType.
-- More work on word alignments -- eliminate all ints from
- the configuration routines.
-- Fix bug reported by Scott Barninger where the bacula script
- refers to scripts in the wrong directory. Needed to meet the
- requirements of recent FHS location changes.
-- Fix word alignment problem on non-Intel 64 bit machines
- such as Solaris. This should fix bug #1097 -- bus error in SD.
-- Add missing win32/patches/wxWidgets.patch to 2.4 repository.

-Bacula version 2.4.0 Released
-This is to inform you that we have released the source and Win32 binaries of
-Bacula version 2.4.0 to the Bacula Source Forge download area.
-
-This release consists mainly of a number of bug fixes since 2.2.x
-but most importantly, a rewrite of significant portions of the
-Storage daemon reservation and autochanger code. This rewritten
-code is simpler, more stable, and works much better, particularly
-with multiple drive autochangers than the prior code did. That
-said, there are still a number of issues to be resolved. Note,
-the new code has not been tested in manual volume mount situations.
-
-As usual, we strongly recommend when installing to keep the Director and the
-Storage daemon on the same version. However, since this release only
-contains refactored code and bug fixes rather than new features, the clients
-(File daemons) should function perfectly with any 2.2.x version, and there is
-no database upgrade needed.
-
-=====================================================
-
- Release Notes for Bacula 2.4.0
-
- Bacula code: Total files = 500 Total lines = 188,654 (*.h *.c *.in)
-
-This Director and Storage daemon must be upgraded at the same time,
-but they should be compatible with all 2.0.x File daemons, unless you
-use some of the new features that affect the FD. In other words, you should
-not have to upgrade all your File daemons when you upgrade. There is
-no database upgrade needed from version 2.0.x to 2.2.0 nor from version
-2.2.x to version 2.4.0
-
-================== Warning !!!!!! ==========================
-As of Version 2.4.0, the Win32 FD should not descend into
-any reparse point directory or reparse mount points unless the
-specified directory is explicitly mentioned at the top level of
-FileSet (as with Unix). A file that is linked to another file will
-be backed up, much like Unix hardlinked files. If you want
-reparse directories backed up, you must explicitly include them
-in your FileSet.
-======================================================
-
-This release consists mainly of a number of bug fixes since 2.2.x
-but most importantly, a rewrite of significant portions of the
-Storage daemon reservation and autochanger code. This rewritten
-code is simpler, more stable, and works much better, particularly
-with multiple drive autochangers than the prior code did. That
-said, there are still a number of issues to be resolved. Note,
-the new code has not been tested in manual volume mount situations.
-
-Bugs fixed:
- 1095, 1086, 1091, 1070, 1041, 1083, 1078, 1066, 1068, 1038
- 1062, 1065, 1046, 1047, 1031
-
-New features:
-- You can now build bat without the QWT libraries. Use
- --without-qwt as a ./configure option.
-
-Release Version 2.4.0
-- Update version to 2.4.0 to reflect the magnitude of the SD changes.
-- Make sure to clear JS_WaitMedia when operator mounts a Volume.
- This fixes bug #1095.
-- Add create_postgresql_database.sql to Win32 installer. Should
- fix problem reported by Juilio Monteiro.
-- Get correct slot when auto unloading a device. This fixes bug
- #1086.
-- Fix possible seg fault if SQL error.
-- Fix renaming a Volume, which used the wrong Volume name.
-- If operator has rewind tape, print warning, release tape and
- try once more. If tape is positioned somewhere, something went
- wrong, so mark the tape in error and try once more. Previously
- this error was fatal, now it produces an error message.
-- Ensure correct volume name displayed during restore
-- Fix a few more Coverity reported problems.
-- Fix #1091 about bad output in estimate command.
-- Modify autochanger locking to attempt to avoid race
- conditions.
-- Make sure device not busy before doing label command.
-- Display open() errors except when polling. Previously too
- many were suppressed. This should fix bug #1070.
-- Fix Win32 reparse points. Bacula will not recurse into any
- reparse point directory, including mount points, unless the
- directory is explicitly mentioned at the top level (same as
- with Unix). A file that is linked to another file will be
- backed up -- much as Unix does for hardlinked files.
- This fixes bug #1041.
-- Remove StorageId test when pruning and recycling (Eric's changes).
-- Fix buffer overruns detected by Coverity.
-- Implement --without-qwt
-- Fix layout of restore tree dialog
-- Add configure bat QWT libraries, so that bat can be built
- with or without the QWT libaries.
-- Implement regression that explicitly tests swapping a Volume
- from one drive to another.
-- Enhance disk-changer to detect most error conditions.
-- Fix SD code so that it properly swaps a Volume between drives.
- This fixes bug #1083.
-- Prevent a Volume that is being swapped from being freed from
- the volume list. This will most likely fix, at least partially,
- bug #1083.
-- Fix strippath so that it does not get a buffer overrun and crash FD.
- This fixes bug #1078.
-- Make inability to change owner/group when creating a dir only a
- warning rather than an error.
-- Fix SQL query in migration code
-- Fix bat seg fault at termination.
-- Add Bacula generated version to bat about box.
-- Backport development stream SD reservation system changes.
-- When wrong volume is mounted during read, unload_autochanger.
-- Stop searching for Volumes in SD askdir if DIR returns the
- same volume name twice in a row.
-- Rework class structures for VOLRES, DCR, and DEVICE to make
- the method names a bit more logical, and for more logically
- handling the responsibilities.
-- Remove redundant code in terminating the scheduler that just
- causes a seg fault in many cases.
-- Improve algorithm for detecting pre-reserved volume and
- swapping volumes.
-- Prevent volume from being released while being swapped.
-- Refactor parts of stored/mount.c
-- Add sanity checks for VolWriteTime and VolReadTime
-- Take care of bad clock changes while computing VolWriteTime
- and VolReadTime. This should fix or limit #1066
-- Correct error string numbers in dird/catreq.c
-- Restructure reserving, acquiring, and mounting volumes. Calls to
- autochanger are deferred for mount.c -- simplifes the code.
-- Do not prune any running job. It just fails the job.
-- Lock the volumes when changing dev->reserved_device and marking
- the volume unused otherwise the device can get reserved by
- another job before the volume is released, thus blocking it.
-- Correct some SD catalog request error messages.
-- Turn off code in read_record that causes a seg fault in the SD
- when reading past an EOS_LABEL.
-- Turn off unloading the autochanger in reserve.c as it just
- causes problems.
-- Lock volumes when unreserving a device.
-- Do not mark volume unused when recycling.
-- Fix bug #1068 fixes a SD crash when using Virtual autochanger.
-- Generate correct JobMedia records during spooling/despooling when
- running concurrent jobs. Thanks to Tom Ivar Helbekkmo
- <tih@hamartun.priv.no> for excellent analysis and testing.
-- *Massive* commit of all fixes and back ports to create 2.2.9
- Mostly SD reservations enhancements.
-- Fix Win32 FD backup/restore memory leak due to improper termination
- of BackupRead/Write. This fixes bug# 1038.
-- Fixes a StorageId problem with volumes after migration.
-- Implements autostart scripts for Debian
-- Fix mtx-changer.in for broken Debian mt program.
-- Apply doc fix from bug #1062.
-- Resolve crash and improper restore wx-console Win32 restore
- GUI. Fixes bug #1065.
-- Update Win32 wxWidgets to latest version.
-- Attempt to do correct handling of Win32 mount points. Should
- fix bug #1046.
-- Add const to AIX prototype for initgroups()
-- Fix to the JobMedia patch, which introduced a new problem.
-- Fix creating first JobMedia record during Migration to include
- proper index. This caused slow restores of migrated jobs.
-- Fix bug #1047, do not strip paths on symbolic links.
-- Set catalog backup database and user name from values specified on

-Kern;;;29 Sept 2007;;20:30
-A serious data loss bug in Bacula version 2.2.4 found and fixed
-
-This bug was very elusive and time consuming to track down. It
-turned out to be a race condition that can lose the last one or
-two blocks of a Job, which can happen in rare cases only when
-running multiple simultaneous jobs when a volume fills and one
-Job finishes receiving the last data from the FD and at the same
-time a second job detects the end of the Volume. The bug was
-introduced in version 2.0.0 and did not exist in version 1.38.x.
-If the bug is triggered, the data is lost (not written to the
-Volume), and it can occur for any backup job of any level under
-the conditions noted above.
-
-The bug is reported in the bugs database as bug #964, and just
-this morning I found and tested a fix, which is attached as a patch
-to the bug report. The patch (2.2.4-lost-block.patch) is also
-uploaded to the bacula-patches 2.2.x release area. This bug may
-also be part of the problems reported in bug #935 and possibly
-#903.
-
-Also in the bacula-patches 2.2.x area, you will find other
-patches that fixes bugs #953, 966, 967, 965, 958, 908, and
-955. Please refer to bugs.bacula.org for the details.
-
-Though this bug quite serious (data loss), it should be rare.
-However, we recommend everyone to apply the patch.

-Bacula version 2.2.4 Released
-
-This version of Bacula is a minor bug release to version 2.2.3.
-It contains the following fixes:
-
-- Possible fix for authorization problems bug #953.
-- Possible fix for bug #908.
-- Add waits to multiple exit detection code to try to force pid
- file to always be deleted.
-- Restore good dev.tar.gz to rescue set appropriate binary property.
- This fixes bug #950.
-- Fix seg fault in error exit of acquire_for_read after unsuccessfully
- trying to switch drives by checking for blocking before unblocking.
- Fixes bug #906.
-- Cancel storage daemon in all cases where FD reports error. This
- should fix virtually all cases of bug #920 and will ensure that Devices
- are released as soon as possible.
-- Fix error message that was clobbered when Dir tells SD it does not
- have write permission on Volume. This should fix a minor point
- in bug #942, but not the main problem.
-- Fix migration code to get correct Volume name with multiple volumes
- by skipping |. Fixes bug #936.
-- Implement patch supplied by Landon to fix bug #944 where using
- TLS with bconsole uses 99+% of the CPU.
-- Fix bug #946 about "bacula-dir -t" which doesn't works
- as expected.
-- Using "m" in bconsole will show messages as in prior versions
- and not memory usage.
-
-- Note, you need GTK >= 2.10 to be able to link the Tray Monitor
- program.

-Kern;;;2007/9/9;;;14:30
-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.

-Bacula Version 2.2.0 has been released to Source Forge.
-
- Release Notes for Bacula 2.2.0
-
- Bacula code: Total files = 520 Total lines = 195,550 (*.h *.c *.in)
- 82 new files, 41,221 new lines of code, 208,380 lines of change from 2.0.3
-
-This Director and Storage daemon must be upgraded at the same time,
-but they should be compatible with all 2.0.x File daemons, unless you
-use some of the new features that affect the FD. In other words, you should
-not have to upgrade all your File daemons when you upgrade. There is
-no database upgrade needed from version 2.0.x to 2.2.0.
-
-Areas requiring caution or testing:
-- You must have the thread safe version of MySQL client libraries loaded
- to build with MySQL enabled.
-- Volumes are pruned only when absolutely necessary -- this may cause
- your database to grow compared to prior Bacula versions.
-- Solaris door and even port files are no longer restored (equivalent
- to what we do with sockets).
-- SQLite is no longer supported for Solaris -- it fails too often with
- bus errors. SQLite3 should work on Solaris.
-- The default setting for SQLite3 is now 'PRAGMA synchronous=OFF'.
- This makes it run 30 times faster, but increases the possiblity
- of a corrupted database if your server shuts down unexpectedly.
- The default behavior can be changed in src/version.h
-- Restore on Win32, and in particular on Vista is untested. Please
- test before relying on it. It should backup and restore reparse
- points.
-- Win32 servers are untested, and very likely not to work.
-
-The major new features are:
-- Much faster insertion of attributes (somewhere around 10 times),
- many thanks to Eric Bollengier and Marc Cousin.
-- First release of bat (Bacula Administration Tool). Note to build
- bat you must explicitly enable it on the ./configure line, you
- must have the Qt4 version 4.2 or later libraries loaded, the qwt
- (Qt Graphics) package loaded, and qmake and the other Qt4 tools
- must be available. Most of the implementation was done by Dirk Bartley.
-- Red/Black restore in memory tree (500 times faster loading).
-- The Regex Where code to allow easier relocation of restored files
- thanks to Eric.
-- Socket level heartbeat for all connections (untested).
-- posix_fadvise() use in the FD to improve performance reduces
- swapping due to opening/reading lots of files. Win32 equivalent
- implemented.
-- Much improved Volume reservation code that should eliminate most
- conflicts experienced in multiple drive autochangers.
-- Simpler locking in the SD in the reservation system.
-- Detection of file size/date change during backup if enabled.
-- New Recycle Pool feature -- thanks to Eric.
-- Efficient implementation of very large include/exclude lists.
-- Volumes are no longer pruned during 'status dir'
-- Pruning is now more efficient, and if a Volume is purged,
- during pruning, it is immediately discovered.
-- License is now GPL v2 without modifications, fix a few copyright
- mistakes made when adding FSFE copyright notice.
-
-New ./configure options:
-- --enable-bwx-console
-- --enable-bat
-- --with-qwt=
-- --with-db-name=
-- --with-db-user=
-- --enable-batch-insert
-
-New bconsole commands:
-- exec
-- memory
-- update recyclepool
-- .sql
-- .api
-- .pwd (in restore tree)
-- restoreclient (keyword)
-- backupclient (keyword)
-- regexwhere (keyword)
-- update jobid (new command)
-- recyclepool (keyword)
-
-New directives:
-- Heartbeat Interval (bconsole.conf)
-- Heartbeat Interval (bacula-dir.conf in Director, Client, Storage)
-- TLS Allowed CN (bacula-dir.conf in Client)
-- Regex Where (bacula-dir.conf in Job)
-- Strip Prefix (bacula-dir.conf in Job)
-- Add Prefix (bacula-dir.conf in Job)
-- Add Suffex (bacula-dir.conf in Job)
-- Recycle Pool (bacula-dir.conf in Pool)
-- FailJobOnError (bacula-dir.conf in RunScript)
-- CheckFileChanges (bacula-dir.conf in FileSet)
-- StripPath (bacula-dir.conf in FileSet)
-
-Other features or bug fixes:
-- Fixed bugs: 916, 910, 917, 914, 906, 907,
- 842, 830, 893, 861, 888, 886, 807, 877, 872
- 885, 887, 864, 874, 882, 881, 863, 859,
- 856, 854, 845, 847, 846, 809, 772,
- 822, 825, 824, 808, 802, 797, 798, 795, 789, 791,
- 788, 780, 763, 782, 612, 767, 775, 621, 772, 764,
- 766, 621, 761, 755, 750, 741, 747, 742, 744, and 743.
-- Configure bat with --enable-bat. Define qwt libraries with
- --with-qwt=<dir>. See Installation chapter of manual for details.
-- Create a depkgs-qt package that has both Qt4 and qwt, which are
- needed to build bat. Most modern Linux systems will have both
- these packages in the distro.
-- Storage overrides delete all previous storage definitions instead
- of prepending.
-- One should be able to mount and unmount removable devices if the
- Device resource has Removeable Media set and the mount and unmount
- directives are defined.
-- ./configure will do a better job of searching for qwt libraries.
-- The Win32 version can no longer be shutdown from the tray monitor.
- Use the command line or the Services panne.
-- Keep prune_volumes() from pruning the whole Scratch pool.
-- More debug output in status storage.
-- Correct moving a Scratch volume from pool to pool (some
- critical columns were lost).
-- Different locking in reservations and despooling systems,
- which means more micro-locking and less macro-locking, which
- should give a lot more concurrency at the expense of slightly
- (<0.1%) more overhead due to more locking/unlocking, but
- concurrent jobs should run much faster.
-- Additional drive reservation algorithm that should solve a lot of
- the problems experienced with multiple drive autochangers.
-- Storage daemon status command enhanced to more clearly show Volume,
- pool and media type when a job is waiting.
-- Made bsmtp work with more strict SMTP servers.
-- Detect doubly freed buffers in smartall.c
-- wx-console renamed to bwx-console (Fedora request)
-- gnome-console renamed to bgnome-console (Fedora request)
-- Migration preserves original job's FileSetId
-- Spooling implemented for migration jobs.
-- Config files can be read through a pipe, by specifying a leading |
- in front of the configuration path/filename.
-- New memory command (bconsole) that will print the current Director's
- memory usage, and an in use buffer dump.
-- Console name changed from *Console* to -Console- to accomodate Win32
- filename restrictions.
-- Corrected the Win32 ftruncate bug.
-- Additional version information added to Job reports.
-- New -8 option for bsmtp to specify UTF-8 encoding type.
-- bsmtp will no longer add < > to target (from, to, cc) if there
- is already a < in the target.
-- Prefer Mounted Volumes extended to mean a volume that is being
- mounted by another job.
-- Runscript timing set to same as version 1.38.11
-- New TLS Allowed CN directive(s) permitted.
-- New bconsole 'exec' command to run external script/command.
-- Turn on FreeBSD/OpenBSD code to set EOT model on tape.
-- Drop from root done before database is opened.
-- Database user and name can be configured with:
- --with-db-name=name --with-db-user=user
-- Turn on wait_for_drive in mtx-changer script.
-- Rework how bar codes are handled in mtx-changer script.
- This appears to have been an unreported bug.
-- Updated nagios plugin supplied by Christian Masopust
-- Better restricted console ACL checking.
-- New Client Connect Wait directive in Storage daemon so that
- users can configure how long SD waits for FD connection.
-- Bacula will no longer permit pruning of the currently running
- job (note, if other jobs are running, they may be pruned).
-- Sockets are no longer restored.
-- dbcheck works in 300K chunks so will typically run faster.
-- Include/Exclude lists can now be efficiently handled for quite
- large sizes -- tens of thousands of entries.
-- Several memory leaks in migration and database usage were fixed.
-- New console keyword restoreclient, which specifies the client to
- which the restore will be sent. The client keyword specifies
- the backup client. The restoreclient keyword is optional if it is
- not specified, the backup client will also be the restore client.
-- The disk file size is now checked to ensure that it agrees with the
- catalog value before Bacula will append to the disk (same as tape
- and DVD).

-Also, please check the patches directory in the current SVN or the
-patches release section on Source Forge for important bug fixes to
-this version.
-
-5Mar07
-kes File migrate bug with Pool Occupancy using mediaid instead
- of jobids. Fixes bug #795.
-kes Fix orphaned buffers in filed backup and verify due to
- crypto buffers not freed during errors. Fixes bug #789.
-04Mar07
-kes Add smartctl call to bacula-sd.conf as an example of getting
- tape alert info.
-02Mar07
-kes Add Client Connect Wait to Storage daemon to permit users to
- modify the time the SD waits for a FD connection.
-28Feb07
-kes Apply Command ACL filter to JobId list in restore command.
-kes Correct typeo in var.c patch.
-27Feb07
-kes Don't let Bacula prune File or Job records for the current Job.
-kes Fix variable substitution pad + inc bug reported (with patch)
- in bug #791.
-26Feb07
-kes Correct SQLite log table index as reported by Luca Berra.
-24Feb07
-ebl Fix FIFO stuff, bacula tries to rewind the FIFO... Thanks to Andreas
-22Feb07
-kes Fix a few places in lib/message.c where the open fd may
- not be zeroed.
-21Feb07
-kes Add LANG=C to autoconf/randpass so it works with languages other
- than English. Fixes bug #788.
-20Feb07
-ebl Revert ClientRunBeforeJob as it was in 1.38.x
- This fixes bug #780
- You will not be able to generate Include/Exclude list any more.
- If you want to use this, you can apply
- trunk/bacula/patches/testing/clientrunbeforejob_can_generate_include_exclude_list.patch
-19Feb07
-kes Restore of sockets created false error messages because Bacula
- no longer restores sockets, but the code was still trying to
- set the attributes on a non-existent file. Reported by a user.
-16Feb07
-kes Fix encryption deblocking bug, which caused some restored files
- to be truncated. This fixes bug #763. This is a CRITICAL bug fix.
-kes Add FD event sequence order prepared by Eric -- for RunScripts.
-kes Fix 12am/pm bug as reported in bug #782.
-15Feb07
-kes Add quick disconnect FD code from 2.1.4 to 2.0.3. This code
- causes the SD to release the FD as soon as the FD has sent
- all the data to the SD. After that the SD will do any final
- despooling (data and attributes) that are necessary. This
- allows laptops to disconnect much quicker from the network
- after a backup.

- and File records in 300K chunks to be more efficient. This
- idea came from Juan Luis Frances (if I remember right).
-09Feb07
-kes Update projects list.
-08Feb07
-kes Fix dird/ua_cmds.c so that a cancel command checks if the
- console is authorized to cancel the job. This fixes bug
- #767.
-kes Modify SD so that the VolCatJobs medium record is updated
- at the beginning of a Job rather than the end. This
- fixes bug #775 where exceeding MaxVolJobs caused jobs
- to fail.
-kes Added a mutex around getting and setting Volume information
- so that multiple simultaneous jobs will single thread.
-07Feb07
- Switch to using Subversion
-kes Remove src/pygtk-console/ from configure
-06Feb07
-kes Delete src/lib/btree.c from win32 build, then add rblist.c

- in canceling jobs for max run time. Supplied as
- part of bug #621, which was previously fixed.
-05Feb07
-kes Test on job_canceled() and sd_msg_thread_done inside
- loop starting the message thread to avoid a race condition.
- Fixes bug #771.

- in findlib/find.c. This will facilitate converting the structures
- to use dlist (for large include/exclude lists).
-kes Fix a bug in the btree.c and btree.h routines, then rename them
- rblist and add them to be built in src/lib. Include some new
- methods written by Rudolf Cejka that make the code more readable
- (hides some of the ugly casting).
-26Jan07 (back port)
-kes Implement item #12 on project list -- quick release of FD by
- the SD. This is noted in more detail above.

- Release Notes for Bacula 2.0.0
-
- Bacula code: Total files = 438 Total lines = 154,329 (*.h *.c *.in)
-
-==== IMPORTANT Catalog update required =====
-- The database format has been updated from what was used in
- Bacula 1.38.x. You must manually update your database before
- running Bacula 1.39.x or higher. If you are using Bacula supplied
- RPMs this is not necessary as the RPM does it automatically.
- Please backup your previous version of the database before
- running the update. The update script will be automatically
- installed in your scripts directory, or can also be found in
- <bacula-source>/src/cats. It is called:
-
- ./update_bacula_tables
-
- It is necessary to run it only once the first time you move to
- a 2.0.0. Upgrading the Bacula version thereafter does not
- require updating the database again. Depending on the size of
- your database the script make take a bit of time, to run, but
- in general, it should be very fast.
-
-==== IMPORTANT new Win32 install procedure =====
- For Win32 migrations from versions prior to 1.39.0 nothing special
- needs to be done to upgrade. Everything should be taken care of
- automatically. The only thing not done is to delete the old C:\bacula
- directory mostly out of paranoia.
-
-==== IMPORTANT miscellaneous ====
-- The Gnome console program (gconsole) no longer functions as it
- should.More importantly, in restore mode, the restore tree is
- no longer shown in the left pane. I suspect this is due to
- incompatible changes in the GTK+ API, and hence have given up
- on gnome and gtk+, as this has already happened several times
- previously. At some point there will be a new GUI console.
-- The bacula-dir.conf directive Accept Any Volume has been
- removed because it was never implemented. You must delete all
- occurrence of this directive for the Director to run. The Storage
- daemon will automatically accept any valid Volume that you mount.
-- The --mandir ./configure option now points to the top level man
- directory. The man files will be installed under mandir/man8 and
- mandir/man1 as appropriate.
-- You *should* be able to use 1.38.x FDs with version 2.0.0 Director
- and SD providing you do not use any of the new features (runscript,
- data encryption). It seems to work here, but we do not guarantee it.
-- Your Director and SD must be simultaneously upgraded.
-- The restore command no longer uses the MediaType as the primary method
- of finding a suitable Storage device. Normally it will select the last
- device used to write a Volume. If no storage device is defined, it
- will use the old algorithm which selects the first Storage resource
- with the correct MediaType.
-- The MD5/SHA1 hash codes kept in the database are now kept in a binary
- format compatible with the rest of the world. If you are running verify
- jobs, you *must* do an InitCatalog or all files will show an MD5
- difference. Also, authentication uses the new algorithm by
- default, but *should* accept connections from older components (FD) using
- the old non-compatible algorithm. This has been tested, but more
- more testing is still needed.
-- A stock SuSE 10.1 kernel may crash when Bacula runs and accesses
- the tape drive. Workaround, load the SuSE 10.1 version 2.6.16.21-0.25
- kernel or later. The SuSE 10.2 Alpha 5 or later kernel also works.
- This problem may also be present in certain Fedora FC5 kernels.
-- If you have been using the data encryption feature of 1.39.x, please
- be aware that certain combinations of encryption and other options
- with version 1.39.0 through 1.39.26 created Volume data that cannot
- be restored. We strongly recommend that anyone using encryption
- carefully review his/her backups and at a minium do a Full backup
- with 1.39.28 of all encrypted data. Robert Nelson has identified
- and fixed it as follows:
- As of 1.39.27:
- No filters = Works fine
- Sparse = Works fine
- Compression = Works fine
- Encryption = Works fine
- Sparse + Compression = Works fine
-
- Sparse + Encryption = Restore broken
- Sparse + Compression + Encryption = Restore broken
- Compression + Encryption = Restore broken
-
- As of 1.39.28:
- Most combinations work, but some encrypted files are
- not properly restored.
-
- As of 1.39.30:
- All combinations work fine except Sparse+Encryption.
-
- Bottom line, if you are using data encryption, please test restoring
- data to be sure it all works correctly.
-- The current Volume format written by 1.39.22 is different from
- the format written by previous versions. The two formats
- are not compatible. Thus any DVDs written prior to 1.39.22 will
- be unreadable by version 1.39.22.
-- If you previously run a Bacula version prior to 1.39.30, the JobMedia
- data may not be correct for disk Volumes. This can cause incorrect
- seeking in versions after 1.39.30. If you experience what appears to
- be data I/O or integrity errors during restores, please add the
- following directive to your disk DEVICE resource in the Storage
- daemon conf file:
-
- Block Positioning = no
-
- This will turn off all seek requests during restores and avoid
- this problem.
-- VSS for Windows clients is now enabled by default.
-- Do not unload autochanger when doing "update slots"
-- Implement mount command for autochanger, see manual.
-
-New Features in 2.0.0:
-- Turn on disk seek code for restores.
-- There is a partial but reasonable translation of the Bacula
- messages for French. To install it, first configure and build
- Bacula, then as root run:
-
- cd <bacula-source>/po
- make install
-
- If you have your locale set properly you will get the translated
- messages.
-- Bacula now support Migration jobs that are documented in a new
- Migration chapter in the manual
- http://www.bacula.org/dev-manual/Migration.html
-- Data encryption is now implemented and is documented in
- a new chapter of the manual at:
- http://www.bacula.org/dev-manual/Bacula_Data_Encryption.html
-- Additional support for removable devices. See the
- Requires Mount, Mount Point, Mount Command, and Unmount
- Commands in the Storage daemon configuration chapter:
- http://www.bacula.org/dev-manual/Storage_Daemon_Configuratio.html
- Also see the Edit Codes for Mount and Unmount Directives in the
- same chapter.
-- Switch the Win32 build from using Microsoft C++ to using mingw32
- cross-compiling. The initial work was done by Howard Thomson,
- then tweaked by me. Robert Nelson then totally reworked the
- cross-compiling code so that it not only cross-compiles, but
- also compiles on Visual Studio, and at the same time, he added
- all the current Unix features to the FD, such as selection on
- drives, encryption support, building *all* the tools, ...
-- The Director and Storage daemon have now been ported to Win32.
- This code is working but should still be tested carefully
- before putting into production.
-- Bacula restore and bextract can now extract non-portable Win32 data to
- any client (including Unix/Linux clients). Of course, in doing so,
- the Microsoft specific permissions and ACLs will be lost. Thanks
- to Thorsten Engel for this code.
-- The 260 character limitation for Win32 paths name lengths is now
- eliminated thanks to Thorsten Engel. However, if you are using
- Volume Shadow Copy, please be careful to specify all the paths
- in the bacula-fd.conf file using a full path notation including
- the drive letter.
-- Eric Bollengier wrote new RunScript directives that includes
- the old RunBefore/AfterJob and ClientRunBefore/AfterJob features
- plus a *lot* more, allowing you to control just about every aspect
- of running scripts. See the manual for detailed documentation.
- http://www.bacula.org/dev-manual/Configuring_Director.html#5227
-- SunOS ACLs should now work thanks to a patch from David Duchscher.
-- Apply days keyword patch from Alexander.Bergolth at wu-wien.ac.at
- If this patch is applied, the number of days can be specified with
- "list nextvol days=xx"
- or
- "status dir days=xx"
- This can be used to preview the next scheduled job (and the
- next tape to be used) on Fridays if there are no scheduled jobs during
- the weekend.
-- From Eric Bollengier. One can now using the bconsole wait command do:
- wait (wait for all jobs to stop)
- wait jobid=nn
- wait jobuid=unique id
- wait job=job-name
-- Volumes can now be set to Enable, Disable, or Archive. If they
- are not enabled, Volumes will not be mounted.
- Implement update volume enable=(on|off|true|false|archived|0|1|2)
-- Add Catalog message destination in Messages resource that puts the
- job report in the Log database table.
-- Writing/reading DVD Volumes is much more stable -- to the point
- of being useful. Thanks to Richard Mortimer.
-- Add enable/disable job=<job-name>. This command prevents
- the specified job from being scheduled. Even when disabled,
- the job can be manually started from the console.
-- The database Id records should be 32/64 bit independent now. 64 bits
- can be enabled by changing one define and changing the appropriate
- table variable. Normally, you need 64 bits only for FileId.
-- Relative path specifications (i.e. ../xxx) are now permitted in
- the restore cd command.
-- When running multiple simultaneous jobs, most jobs that use spooling
- will now finish faster due to a mutex optimization made by Eric
- Bollengier.
-- Conf files containing UTF-8 marker at the head of the file as well as
- conf files containing Window cr/lf and Mac cr line termination characters
- are now accepted thanks to Robert Nelson.
-- Windows tray status windows are scrollable and resizable.
-- Win32 external script execution is much more flexible -- handles
- spaces in names better, ...
-- Lots of DVD fixes -- writing DVDs is now reported to work.
-- Fix opening of database in a restricted console to respect
- any Catalog ACL.
-- Much better automatic handling of multiple database catalogs in
- the restore command.
-- Permit multiple console/director resources in bconsole.conf.
- patch from Carsten Paeth calle@calle.in-berlin.de
-- Character substitution in Job/JobDefs WriteBootStrap.
- from Eric Bollengier.
-- Apply patch supplied in bug #656 to pass priority field
- in the run dialog to the Director in gnome console.
-- Add support of encrypted data stream to bscan from Eric.
- display data_len instead of data content (may be binary).
-- Add Enabled=xxx on update slots command.
-- Add host:port to connect failure messages to FD and SD from Dir/
-- Add WhereACL to console ACL list. If nothing is specified, only
- the default is permitted for restore. Otherwise, *all* allows any
- path, or you can specify permitted paths. This should allow control
- over where users can restore files. This is untested.
-- Install man pages with 'make install'.
-- Add Media.Enabled flag to client backups for dotcmds.c
-- Enforce Media.Enabled=1 for a current restore to work
-- Require restore case 3 to have sqlquery permission to work.
-- Add -n option to bconsole to turn off conio -- used in bweb.
-- The bytes field in the terminated jobs part of the status
- command now reports in KB, MB, ... units.
-- When not descending into a directory, print the File= name that
- triggered it -- makes why not descending a bit clearer
-- Do not unload autochanger when doing "update slots"
-- Implement mount command for autochanger
-- Fix bug #462 incorrect error message printed when client script called
- from File= was not found.
-- Fix bug #558 (waiting for feedback) where Bacula needs too much time to
- do a rewind on Solaris when no tape is in the drive (Solaris does not
- have the detailed errno found on Linux). Added Solaris specific code.
- Note, this may apply to other OSes as well.
-- The examples directory has a new bacula_mail_summary.sh file that
- creates a single email summary of any number of jobs. Submitted by
- Andrew J. Millar.
-- Add nagios plugin to the examples directory. Submitted by
- Christian Masopust.
-- Modify most restore error messages to be queued so that they
- appear at the end of the job rather than mixed with the restore
- listing where they could be "lost".
-- Apply patch supplied by user (slightly modified) to fix
- correct detection of holes in block devices and FIFOs.
- Bug # 506.
-- Added a report.pl program to the examples directory from Jonas Bjorklund.
-- Add two new queries to query.sql provided by Arno. One
- list volumes known to the Storage device, and the other
- lists volumes possibly needing replacement (error, ...).
-- Implement new code for changing userid and group at startup. This
- should get Bacula into the correct groups.
-- Implement support for removable filesystems -- device type directive
- and mount, unmount directives.
-- Transfer rates are now presented in a more readable format thanks
- to a user submission.
-- SD is now aware of what volumes are mounted. More information is printed
- in the Status report. You must take much more care now to unmount
- devices prior to removing tapes that Bacula has open or prior to
- changing a magazine. Don't forget to do a mount afterwards or the
- device will be blocked.
-- The Pool Maximum Volumes directive is now respected in all places.
-- A Storage device can now be specified in a Pool resource. It will override
- all other Storage specifications.
-- Most but not all directives accept true/false in place of yes/no.
-- A patch from Karl Hakimian that reads JobIds, FileIndexes
- from a database table for restore.
-- There are a number of new tables. Some such as the Location table are
- designed for user use in doing Volume Management software.
-- Maximum Changer Wait, Maximum Open Wait, Maximum Rewind Wait to
- accept time qualifiers.
-- Implement jobuid to replace old usage of job in keywords as
- suggested by Eric Bollengier.
-- Implement write variables for Python to set Priority (anytime), and
- Job Level, only during JobInit event.
-- Use the keyword ujobid to mean the unique job id; job or jobname
- to mean the Job name given on the Name directive, and jobid to
- be the numeric (non-unique) job id.
-- Allow the SD to use multiple drives during a backup/restore (only
- one at a time).
-- Integrate addition of line count limitation to bsmtp -l from
- Sebastian Stark <stark at tuebingen.mpg.de>
-- Split the bacula start/start script into four files:
- bacula -- starts and stops calling other scripts
- bacula-ctl-dir -- starts/stops the director
- bacula-ctl-fd -- starts/stops the File daemon
- bacula-ctl-sd -- starts/stops the Storage daemon
-- Remove automatic case folding on Windows FDs. You must
- explicitly use the 'Ignore Case = yes' option.
-- Implement wild program in tools directory for testing
- wild-cards. Almost identical to the regex program.
-- Use the new bregex.c to implement Regex expressions on Win32.
-- Apply patch from Christopher Hull
- - Allow multiple connections to database with different
- parameters.
- - Invalidate the scheduler when doing a reload. Fixes seg
- fault, but still 60 second window.
- - Additional info in Reschedule message.
- - Use set_jcr_job_status() everywhere to prevent loss of
- cancel, error.
- - Display peer IP in FD if error from connecting DIR.
- - Don't increment file count for DIRBEGIN.
- - Replace illegal characters in Win32 filename by _.
- - Add SE_CREATE_PERMANENT_NAME privilege in Win32.
- - Hash hard link filenames rather than linked list (performance).
- - Fix for security failure in chdir on Win32.
- - Add CreateDirectoryA/W win32 API entry points.
-- programs to duplicate Bacula's base64 algorithm using standard
- routines. This fixes bugs #296, and 565. Patch submitted by
- author of bug #565.
-- Fixes to reloading the Dir conf file from Eric Bollengier and Christopher
- Hull.
-- Modify LICENSE to correct some problems pointed out by Debian.
-- Apply a patch submitted by cesarb in bug #606 to implement O_NOATIME support.
- O_NOATIME is a open() flag which makes it possible to read a file without
- updating the inode atime (and also without the inode ctime update which
- happens if you try to set the atime back to its previous value). It also
- prevents a race condition when two programs are reading the same file, but
- only one does not want to change the atime. It's most useful for backup
- programs and file integrity checkers (and bacula can fit on both
- categories).
- You enable it in the Bacula FileSet Options resource by setting:
- noatime = yes
- The effect of this option is similar to the keepatime option except
- it is more efficient and avoids modifying ctime.
-- Implement a pile of new man pages contributed by Jose Tallon.
-- Modify the database format for handling Migration jobs:
- Add PriorJobId, RealEndTime to Job table
- Delete MAC table
- Remove Stripe from JobMedia record (not used, wasting space)
- Add ScratchPoolId, RecyclePoolId, Enabled to Media record
- Add Cost to Location table.
- Enabled to Media table and Location table.
-- Security: harden authentication failure in FD by single threading errors
- and forcing a 6 second wait.
-- If using GCC (actually g++) add the following compiler flags
- -fno-strict-aliasing -fno-exceptions -fno-rtti
-- Turn on new bsnprintf() code. The reason for this code is to
- eliminate the security problems associated with using the
- system libraries print routines.
-- Implement job report that indicates where Storage and Pool
- came from -- with overrides and Pool storage and NextPool,
- it is all very complicated.
-- Add more detail (Storage, Device) to list of volumes printed
- for restore.
-- Add new VOLMGMT message class. No messages are yet sent with this
- class.
-- Improved Bacula rescue procedures -- see the Disaster Recovery
- chapter of the manual
-- Add spooling/despooling info in status output of SD.
-- Add Comment field to llist of a volume.
-- Allow true/false in many but not all yes/no directives.
-- The Bacula source code is now copyrighted by the Free Software
- Foundation Europe. The Developer's Guide documents the new procedures,
- and the LICENSE file has been updated.
-- Apply Jaime Ventura's patch that implements the Messages resource
- Mail On Success directive.
-- The Client returns its Version string, which is printed in the Job
- report.
-- The Client returns whether or not VSS and Encryption are used, which
- are printed in the Job report.
-
-Additional Features Added for Win32:
-- Added DriveType directive to the Director's Include Option FileSet
- resource. Allowed values are: fixed, removable, cdrom, and remote. There
- is only an implementation for Windows because it is the only platform that
- has the concept of drives.
-
-- Adds EnhancedWild directive to the Director's Include Option FileSet
- resource. Allowed values are: yes and no.
-
- When EnhancedWild is enabled then the processing of the
- Wild, WildDir and WildFile is changed in the following ways.
-
- Patterns conform to Posix
- \ is not a special character in character classification []
- To match a - it must be the first or last character
- To match a ] it must be the first character
-
- fnmatch option FNM_FILE_NAME is specified * doesn't match a /
- so it won't match multiple directory levels in a path
-
-- Relative WildFile patterns (ones without a leading /) match
- against the filename portion. This in combination with the
- FNM_FILE_NAME fnmatch() flag makes directives such as WildFile =
- abc*.def work as expected.
-
-- Adds support for the shell's feature of brace expansion.
-
- Here is an example where braces allow 24 lines to be expressed in 5.
-
- # Exclude directories full of lots and lots of useless little files
- WildDir = "[A-Z]:/{Documents and Settings,{WINNT,Windows}/Profiles}/*/Cookies"
- WildDir = "[A-Z]:/{Documents and Settings,{WINNT,Windows}/Profiles}/*/Recent"
- WildDir = "[A-Z]:/{Documents and Settings,{WINNT,Windows}/Profiles}/*/{Local Settings,LOCALS~1}/History"
- WildDir = "[A-Z]:/{Documents and Settings,{WINNT,Windows}/Profiles}/*/{Local Settings,LOCALS~1}/Temp"
- WildDir = "[A-Z]:/{Documents and Settings,{WINNT,Windows}/Profiles}/*/{Local Settings,LOCALS~1}/Temporary Internet Files"

-
- Release Notes for Bacula 5.2.1
-
- Bacula code: Total files = 1,110 Total lines = 231,439 (Using SLOCCount)
-
-General:
---------
-
-This 5.2.1 version is a major release since the last version 5.0.3.
-It includes well over 299,387 lines of changes made by 20 contributors,
-lots of bug fixes (see below), 1,851 software commits,and a
-number of important new features:
-
-Version 5.2.0
--------------
-Version 5.2.0 was short lived, because Marco (thanks) found
-a number of last minute bugs. So the first official release of 5.2
-is 5.2.1.
-
-Compatibility:
---------------
- As always, both the Director and Storage daemon must be upgraded at
- the same time.
-
- Older 5.0.x and 3.0.x File Daemons are compatible with the 5.2.1
- Director and Storage daemons. There should be no need to upgrade older File
- Daemons.
-
-Main New Features:
-------------------
-- LZO Compression
-- New Tray Monitor
-- Purge Migration Job
-- Changes in Bvfs (Bacula Virtual FileSystem)
-- Changes in the Pruning Algorithm
-- Ability to Verify any specified Job
-- Additions to RunScript variables
-- Additions to the Plugin API
-- ACL enhancements
-- XATTR enhancements
-- Class Based Database Backend Drivers
-- Hash List Enhancements
-
-Some of the above are described below; all the above are
-described in more detail in the New Features chapter of the
-manual.
-

-
-
-================== Warning !!!!!! ==========================
-
- The new pruning algorithm will not allow pruning of jobs that are essential to
- restore since the last Full backup. This is, of course, correct and desirable,
- but it is different from older Bacula versions that could inappropriately
- prune jobs. Pruning of volumes is not affected.
-
-Building Bat:
--------------
-To build Bat, you need Qt4 version 4.6.2. If you build with any other
-version it is likely not to work. If you do not have version 4.6.2, on
-your system, you can download the Bacula depkgs_qt version 16Dec10.
-
-Packaging the SQL backend:
---------------------------
-The main Bacula Director code is independent of the SQL backend
-in this version. This means that the Bacula Director can be packaged
-by itself, then each of the different SQL backends supported can
-be packaged separately. It is possible to build all the DB backends
-at the same time.
-
-- configure can be run with multiple database configure options.
- --with-sqlite3
- --with-mysql
- --with-postgresql
-
-Order of testing for database is
-- postgresql
-- mysql
-- sqlite3
-
-Each configured backend generates a libbaccats-<backend_name>-<version>.so
-A dummy catalog library is created named libbaccats-version.so
-
-At configure time the first detected backend is used as the so called default
-backend and at install time the dummy libbaccats-<version>.so is replaced with
-the default backend type.
-
-If you configure all 3 backends you get 3 backend libraries and the postgresql
-gets installed as the default. When you want to switch the default you can
-copy one of the 3 backend libraries over the libbaccats-<version>.so e.g.
-
-cp libbaccats-postgresql-<version>.so libbaccats-<version>.so
-
-And update the default backend in the following files:
-
-create_bacula_database
-drop_bacula_database
-drop_bacula_tables
-grant_bacula_privileges
-make_bacula_tables
-make_catalog_backup
-update_bacula_tables
-
-New Catalog format in version 5.2.0 and greater
------------------------------------------------
-This release of Bacula uses a new catalog format. We provide a set of
-scripts that permit to convert a 5.0.x (version 12) catalog to 5.2.1 (version
-14). The Bacula project rpm spec files have been modified to
-detect the database change and do the upgrade for you. We strongly
-recommend that you save a copy of your existing database before upgrading
-using rpms.
-
-The simplest way to upgrade the database assuming you are building from
-source (i.e. manually):
-1. Stop any current version of Bacula from running.
-2. Save a copy of your existing database.
-3. Configure, build, and install the 5.2.1 version of Bacula
- Note the new ./configure options in the manuals see the link
- at the bottom of this file.
-4. cd <your-scripts-installation-directory>
-5. ./update_bacula_tables
-6. If you have multiple catalogs, edit the update_bacula_tables
- script and put the name of another database, and then
- execute the script again. Repeat this until all Bacula
- catalogs have been updated.
-7. Start the new Bacula. If everything worked, it should
- not print any error messages.
-
-If you start from scratch, you don't need to run the update_bacula_tables
-script because the create_bacula_tables script automatically creates the new
-table format. However, if you are using a version of Bacula older than 5.0.0
-(e.g. 3.0.3) then you need to run the update_bacula_tables script that will
-be found in the <bacula>/src/cats directory after you run the ./configure
-command. As mentioned above, before running this script, please backup your
-catalog database, and when you do running it, be sure shutdown Bacula and be
-aware that running the script can take some time depending on your database
-size.
-
-================================================================
-
-Changes:
-
-Speed and Memory Usage Enhancements:
-- Implement LZO compression algorithm (need lzo2 headers to activate this option)
-- New Pruning algoritm -- safer and faster
-- Use of PostgreSQL cursor when doing large queries, should reduce the
- memory usage during restore and accurate backups.
-- limit command in some list commands
-- Bacula Virtual File System for fast catalog access
-- Faster crc32 algorithm
-
-Security Enhancements:
-- Additional security against injection of illegal characters
-- Fix possible fnmatch problem
-
-Features Enhancements:
-- Improvements in ACL and xattr handling on additional platforms:
- AIX, Darwind, FreeBSD, HPUX, IRIX, Solaris, Tru64
-- Tray monitor for Windows
-- New SQL backend and ./configure that permits building multiple catalog
- backends in one build, and has the main Bacula core code totally independent
- of the SQL backend, which should simplify packaging (only the
- libbacsql.so/dll needs to be changed to switch from one database backend
- to another (e.g. MySQL to PostgreSQL).
-- Indent lsmark during restore
-- Disable batch insert config item
-- Director selection option in bconsole
-- restorejob command in bconsole
-- Many additional features for bat such as "brestore" panel
-- The old bat version browser has been turned off since it does not
- work correctly and the brestore panel provides the same functionality
-- Improved hash table for hard links
-- Additional script variable editing such as %b (JobBytes), %F (JobFiles)
- and %h (Client Address)
-
-Other Enhancements:
-- Includes better handling for Windows repares points, mount points, and
- junction points.
-- New database format
-- Many new plugin API features
-- Improved memory handling for restores
-- Significant stability enhancements to bat
-- xattr/ACL restore failure are now printed as Warning
-- A few path name length limits in Windows have been removed.

-Bacula Version 5.0.1 has been released to Source Forge
-
-Bacula version 5.0.1 source code and Windows (32/64 bit) binaries have been
-released to Source Forge (thanks Eric).
-
-This is a major bug fix release including a few directives that have been
-rewritten, one new directive, and some different directive behavior (see the
-release notes below). As is usual for a patch release (last digit changes by
-one), this version is compatible with the 5.0.0 database and with prior
-clients. However, you *must* upgrade all components that are on any one
-machine (that is you must upgrade your Director, Storage daemon, and File
-daemon at the same time, if they reside on the same machine).
-
-Note, Bacula does not normally uninstall previous versions, and we have
-changed the shared object naming convention, so you might want to first save
-your configuration files then uninstall the old Bacula using the old Bacula
-uninstall prior to installing the new one. If you do not, it should not be
-serious, but you may be left with some older Bacula shared objects that are
-not used and hence wasting a small amount of disk space.
-
-If you are upgrading from version 3.0.x or prior, please see the full release
-notes as you must do a database upgrade. When updating from 5.0.0 to this
-release there is no database upgrade needed.
-
-Scott has made a number of changes and improvements in the rpm packaging over
-the past few weeks since version 5.0.0 was released, so he will probably be
-releasing the 5.0.1 rpms quite soon.
-
-Thanks for using Bacula :-)
-
-Best regards,
-
-Kern
-
-============= Performance Note ==================
-
-Some of you have encountered performance problems with your
-database (mainly with MySQL) with Bacula version 5.0.0. This is
-mainly because we've changed the SQL query used for restore,
-accurate jobs and base jobs. We have extensively tested this
-change, and though it should be a little bit slower than the previous
-versions, on a well configured database it should run
-extremely well.
-
-We strongly recommend to avoid the temptation to add new indexes.
-In general, these will cause very significant performance
-problems in other areas. A better approch is to carefully check
-that all your MySQL memory configuation parameters are are
-suitable for the size of your installation. If you backup
-millions of files, you need to adapt the database memory
-configuration parameters concerning sorting, joining and global
-memory. By default, sort and join parameters are very small
-(sometimes 8Kb), and having sufficient memory specified by those
-parameters is extremely important to run fast.
-
-If adjusting your MySQL memory configuration values does not
-solve your problem, you can also consider switching to
-PostgreSQL, which performs much better with Bacula on big
-installations (many millions of files per Job). However for
-large installations, you will also need to adjust the default
-PostgreSQL memory configuration parameters.
-
-==========================================
-
-
- Release Notes for Bacula 5.0.1
-
- Bacula code: Total files = 1,081 Total lines = 217,272 (Using SLOCCount)
-
-!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NOTE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-The Allow Duplicate Jobs directive has been significantly
-reworked, and the default value has changed. See below.
-
-Truncate On Purge has been totally rewritten. See the new
-features section of the manual.
-
-When Volume Poll Interval is set in the SD DEVICE configuration,
-(default 5 mins), after a certain number of polling tries (approx
-10) polling will stop and the operator will be asked to
-resolve the problem. Previously there was no limit, and an
-error message could be produced at each poll attempt.
-!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
-Changes since 5.0.0
--------------------
-- We believe that we have resolved most of the problems
- concerning canceled or failed jobs being "stuck" in the
- Director. There is one outstanding problem in the SD when
- canceling jobs that we will fix in the next major release.
- If you see jobs that seem to be stuck, in general issuing
- a cancel command in bconsole should now make them go away.
-
-Directives:
-- The default for "Allow Duplicate Jobs" has been changed from
- no to yes. If you use this directive, please check your
- conf file, and note the next two items !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-- AllowHigherDuplicates disabled. It did not work as documented
- and was confusing.
-- New directive "CancelLowerLevelDuplicates" See New Features
- section in the manual.
-- Truncate on Purge rewritten. See New Features section in the manual.
-
-Bug fixes:
-1448 1466 1467 1468 1476 1481 1486 1488 1494 1497
-1499 1501 1505 1509 1513

-- Fix three-pool regress bug
-- Modify bacula.spec fixes bug #1505

-
-For Packagers:
-1. The default query.sql file is now, except for some comments, empty.
-The old file, which we no longer support (it is impossible or difficult to
-make it work on every backend, and the queries are mostly contributed) can
-be found in <bacula-source>/examples/sample-query.sql. The sample file is
-not installed by the Makefiles
-
-2. When you install the mtx-changer script, you must also install
-mtx-changer.conf if it does not exist. This new file (mtx-changer.conf) is
-required for mtx-changer to work, but it is a user configurable file, so on
-any update, any existing file should not be overwritten.
-
-3. Bat should be built on every platform that is capabable of running Qt.
-However, the Qt code is changing rather quickly and is not always
-compatible from version to version. We have built and verified bat on Qt
-4.3.4. We strongly recommend that you do not build and distribute bat with
-any other version of Qt unless you personally test it. To build against Qt
-4.3.4, download the depkgs-qt package from the Bacula Source Forge download
-location, read the README file and follow the instructions.
-
-If you are building for Bacula version 5.0.0, please ensure that you do not
-have qmake-qt4 loaded on your system. If you do, either remove it or
-rename it before trying to build bat. If you do not, bat will probably be
-built using the shared objects on your system. For Bacula 5.0.1 and later,
-this problem (bug) does not exist.
-
-depkgs-qt does not install Qt on your system, nor does it interfere with
-you having any other version of Qt installed on your system. Once you
-build bat with depkgs-qt, it should *not* use the Qt shared objects, but
-rather they will be linked into the program. After fully installing bat
-(make install), you can run "ldd bat" to see what shared objects it will
-use. If any Qt shared objects are referenced, something has gone wrong.
-
-4. Unless absolutely necessary, we recommend that you do not define any
-special library environment variables that apply to the ./configure -- for
-example: LIBDIR=/... ./configure <your-options> is strongly discouraged.
-Doing so, could potentially cause Bacula to be linked against the wrong
-shared objects.
-
-5. The Bacula project strongly recommends that you install Bacula into a
-single directory, with a few minor exceptions such as the MySQL or
-PostgreSQL databases. Preferrably this should be /opt/bacula. The full
-recommendation is:
-
-#!/bin/sh
-# Recommended configure script for Bacula
-prefix=/opt/bacula
-email=xxx@yyy.zz
-CFLAGS="-g -O2 -Wall" \
- ./configure \
- --sbindir=${prefix}/bin \
- --sysconfdir=${prefix}/etc \
- --docdir=${prefix}/html \
- --htmldir=${prefix}/html \
- --with-working-dir=${prefix}/working \
- --with-pid-dir=${prefix}/working \
- --with-subsys-dir=${prefix}/working \
- --with-scriptdir=${prefix}/scripts \
- --with-plugindir=${prefix}/plugins \
- --libdir=${prefix}/lib \
- --enable-smartalloc \
- --enable-tray-monitor \
- --enable-bat \
- --with-mysql \
- --with-dump-email=${email} \
- --with-job-email=${email} \
- --with-smtp-host=localhost \
- --with-baseport=9101
-
-Obviously, the email, and some of the minor options (mysql, postgresql,
-...) can be changed to suit your distribution, but the directory names
-defined above are strongly recommended, and over time the default values in
-the bacula-dir.conf and bacula-sd.conf will reflect these choices.
-
-If you have any questions about this or would like a detailed document
-describing our recommendations including packaging requirements, please
-send an email to the bacula-devel list.
-
-6. Starting with Bacula version 3.0.0 up to Bacula 5.0.0, the shared
-libraries that Bacula uses by default are named xxx-1.0.0. Starting with
-Bacula 5.0.1, we are going to name the libraries using the Bacula version.
-So in Bacula 5.0.1, the libraries will be named xxx-5.0.1. With future
-versions, the last digit may or may not change when we distribute patch
-updates (i.e. the last digit of the version changes). This will depend on
-whether or not we have changed something in the library. Hopefully this
-new procedure will resolve some of the incompatibility problems between
-different versions of the shared objects.
-
-7. The default build option for bconsole is conio (my own little console
-routines). I did this because some years ago, readline was very difficult
-to maintain -- it and where it was found seemed to change on every release.
-This generated at the time a number of support problems. It seems to me
-that since then there have been very few problems with readline. As a
-consequence, I have no problem if you want to make bconsole with readline
-enabled. It will actually give some very nice new bconsole command
-completion functionality that Eric has written. Bottom line: feel free to
-use readline or not as you please.
-

-Eric;;;25 January 2010 at 10:00
-Bacula Version 5.0.0 has been released to Source Forge
-
-Release Numbering:
------------------------------------------------------------
-You might be wondering why this release jumps from 3.0.x to
-5.0.0 thus skipping version 4.0.0. We have done this for
-several reasons: first, we wanted a way of distinguishing
-the numbering system for the Bacula System Enterprise version
-and the Bacula Project version. So, to do so, we have decided
-that the first number of the Bacula Project version will always
-be odd, and the first number of the Enterprise version will always
-be even. Thus the Bacula Project now moves from 3.0.x to 5.0.x.
-In addition, we want to keep the Bacula Project version larger
-than the Enterprise version to indicate that the Bacula Project
-version is more advanced or has more features than the
-Enterprise version. For memory, the current Enterprise version
-is 2.6.1, and the next release (in a few months -- before June 2010)
-will be version 4.0.0.
-
-Warning:
---------------------------------------------------------------
-Please note the three Warnings below before doing any install or
-upgrade.
-
-
-Changes since 3.0.3a (the last Bacula Project release):
--------------------------------------------------------
-
-Bug fixes:
-1337 1351 1352 1354 1357 1361 1367 1369 1370 1373
-1376 1391 1403 1409 1420 1422 1427 1428 1431 1450
-1454 1455 1458 1456
-
-Fixed:
- - Problem that locks the Director when the SMTP server wasn't
- responding to the bsmtp program
- - Restore's dir command shows incorrect file sizes
- - Fix various problems with the reload command
- - Fix problems with conio
- - Eliminate several deadlocks or potential race conditions from SD
-
-Enhancements:
- - Project 5: Truncate volume after purge
- - Project 6: File Deduplication using Base Jobs
- - Project 10: Restore from Multiple Storage Daemons
- - Project 11: AllowCompression per Device
- - Project 23: Add Maximum Concurrent Jobs for Devices to balance load
- between drives
- - Add Accurate Fileset Options to configure accurate detection. Can use
- checksum verification for example.
- - Allow FD to keep root read but drop write permission (CAP)
- - Secure handling of passwords for catalog backup
- - Add Tab-completion for Bconsole when using Readline
- - Add Bvfs API to query the catalog without building a memory tree
- - Add new speed test to btape program
- - Add new Bat screens (Autochanger content, Job view, Media view, ...)
- - Windows version of Bat
- - Added Spanish Bacula translation
- - New bconsole -u nnn option to have timeout on commands
- - Allow Migrate, Copy, and Virtual Full to read and write
- to the same Pool
- - show disabled -- shows disabled Jobs
- - Add Pool File and Job retention periods (take precedence over Client)
- - Many ACL improvements
- - Level added to FD status Job entry
- - Allow turning on/off Block Checksum per device
- - Set Device Poll interval to 5 minutes -- previously did not poll
- - Implement lock manager with bad order protection
-
-Compatibility:
-As always, both the Director and Storage daemon must be upgraded at
-the same time, and on any given machine, you must run only one version
-of Bacula. This means that on the Director and Storage daemon machines,
-you *must* upgrade your File daemon as well.
-
-Older 3.0.x and possibly 2.4.x File Daemons are compatible with the 5.0.0
-Director and Storage daemons. There should be no need to upgrade older File
-Daemons immediately. However, we recommend that you do so as soon
-as is reasonable for your situation.
-
-================== Warning !!!!!! ==========================
-
-New Catalog format in version 5.0.0 (3.1.9 or later)
------------------------------------------------------
-
-This release of Bacula uses a new catalog format. We provide a set of
-scripts that permit to convert a 3.0.x (version 11) catalog to 5.0.0 (version
-12). The Bacula project rpms distributed on Source Forge will automatically
-detect the database change and do the upgrade for you. We strongly
-recommend that you save a copy of your existing database before upgrading
-using rpms.
-
-The simplest way to upgrade the database assuming you are building from
-source:
-1. Stop any current version of Bacula from running.
-2. Save a copy of your existing database.
-3. Configure, build, and install the 5.0.0 version of Bacula
- Note the new ./configure options in the manuals see the link
- at the bottom of this file.
-4. cd <your-scripts-installation-directory>
-5. ./update_bacula_tables
-6. If you have multiple catalogs, edit the update_bacula_tables
- script and put the name of another database, and then
- execute the script again. Repeat this until all Bacula
- catalogs have been updated.
-7. Start the new Bacula. If everything worked, it should
- not print any error messages.
-
-If you start from scratch, you don't need to run the update_bacula_tables
-script because the create_bacula_tables script automatically creates the new
-table format. However, if you are using a version of Bacula older than 3.1.9
-(e.g. 3.0.3) then you need to run the update_bacula_tables script that will
-be found in the <bacula>/src/cats directory after you run the ./configure
-command. As mentioned above, before running this script, please backup your
-catalog database, and when you do running it, be sure shutdown Bacula and be
-aware that running the script can take some time depending on your database
-size.
-================================================================
-
-
-================== Warning !!!!!! ==========================
-If you upgrade a previous Win32 client installation, you must
-first stop the File daemon, then uninstall it before attempting
-the upgrade. If you do not do so, the upgrade will probably
-fail and you will need to manually find and run the
-Uninstall.exe file, before you can upgrade to the new version.
-This is because the file locations are different. If you want
-to save your previous bacula-fd.conf file, please do so before
-uninstalling it.
-================================================================
-
-================== Warning !!!!!! ==========================
-Due to permissions problems on Windows Vista and later systems,
-we no longer require SYSTEM or Administrator permissions to
-access the binaries and configuation files. If you wish
-to restrict access to these files, please see the New Features
-section of the manual for how to set access control lists.
-================================================================
-
-Note, the Win32 Installer no longer installs the Bacula Servers
-(Director and Storage daemon). See the New Features section of
-the manual for more details.
-
-============ Documentation improvements needed ==================
-
-Note!!!!! The 5.0.0+ documentation has a number of known problems:
-
-1. We have reduced the number of manuals, which has fixed many
- of the broken links found in the old 3.0.x version, but there
- are still some that need fixing.
-
-2. Integration of the 3.0.x features into the main manuals has
- not yet been done.
-
-The documentation will not be completed in the near future due to lack
-manpower. If you are unhappy with this situation as we are, we suggest
-you help by submitting patches to the documentation. Thanks.
-=====
-
-
-This release includes large number of new features and changes.
-It should be more or less compatible with previous xx.conf files
-and File daemons providing that you are not using any of the new
-features.
-
-Please see the New Features chapter of the new manual, which documents
-some but not all the new features (we are still working on it):
-
-http://www.bacula.org/5.0.x-manuals/en/main/main/New_Features_in_5_0_0.html

-Bacula Version 3.0.1 has been released to Source Forge.
-
-Note, if you are not already running 3.0.0, please read the 3.0.0 release notes. Important!!!
-
-Version 3.0.1 is primarily a minor bug fix update to version 3.0.0 with
-one enhancement (see below).
-
-Changes since 3.0.0:
-Bug fixes:
- 1276, 1274, 1275, 1272 1246, 1268, 1281, 1282.
-
-Fixed:
-- Check for job_canceled() in fd_plugin code.

-
-Note, both the Director and Storage daemons must be upgraded at the
-same time. The 3.0.1 File daemons are compatible with 3.0.0 file
-daemons and as noted below in the 3.0.0 release notes the Director
-and Storage daemon should be compatible with 2.4.x File daemons.
-In general, we do not expect any of the 3.0.x File daemons to work with older
-Directors and Storage daemons (as has always been the case for Bacula
-releases).
-
-============ Documentation improvements needed ==================

-Note!!!!! The 3.0.0+ documentation needs rather extensive modifications in the
-following areas:
-
-1. Missing documentation.
-2. Correction of links within various manuals -- most fail.
-3. Integration of the new features into the main documents.
-4. Much more.
-
-The documentation will not be completed in the near future due to lack
-manpower. If you are unhappy with this situation as we are, we suggest
-you help by submitting patches to the documentation. Thanks.

-Bacula Version 3.0.0 has been released to Source Forge.
-
-This is to inform you that we have uploaded the Bacula version 3.0.0 source
-tar files and the Win32/64 installer files to the Bacula Source Forge
-download location.
-
-There are quite a number of new features in this release, and upgrading to it
-requires a database upgrade, so please read the release notes carefully
-(included below) and the documentation for the new features at:
-
-http://www.bacula.org/manuals/en/concepts/concepts/New_Features.html
-
-There is still a good deal of work to do to finish the release process (mainly
-reorganizing the web site manuals ...), but at least the source files are
-released. The rpms should follow shortly (probably this weekend).
-
-If you are currently using 2.4.4, please note that within a few months that
-version will no longer be supported, so please consider the possibility of
-upgrading.
-
-This release probably has the most new features that we have ever released,
-and it has taken a long time to produce it. The basic code is very well
-tested, and if you stick to 2.4.4 features, you are unlikely to experience
-problems. However, many of the new features have not been well tested, so
-your help will be appreciated.
-
-The following issues with 3.0.0 are known and we are working on them:
-
-1. The documentation is not 100% complete (there are so many new features that
-we missed documenting some).
-
-2. All the new documentation is in the New Features chapter, but not all of it
-has yet been integrated back into the appropriate chapters.
-
-3. James has reported that the Exchange plugin may crash if you cancel a job
-while it is running. He is working on this.
-
-4. The SD has many new features that will make it more stable. One in
-particular is that it knows what Volumes will be read during a migration,
-copy, or Virtual backup job, and will ensure that they are not selected for
-writing (something easy to do if you are using disk files and the same pool
-for reading an writing). However, the day after the release was cut, I found
-a problem with this code that prevents it from working properly during
-certain pre-allocations of the write tape.
-
-5. There is still an outstanding bug report on VSS failing (it seems to be a
-bit of a rare case).
-
-As I previously announced, we will now make 3.0.0 our main release source code
-stream, and we hope to release new version every six months and bug fix
-updates even sooner. To be able to do this, we will support version 2.4.4
-only for a few more months. There after the project will only support the
-most current release ...
-
-This release comprises a lot of work by a lot of different people and many
-contributions. Normally I hesitate to mention particular people or
-contributions because I always forget someone, but since this was such a big
-release, I would like to mention at least the big contributions:

-
- Release Notes for Bacula 3.0.0
-
- Bacula code: Total files = 520 Total lines = 205,459 (*.h *.c *.in)
-
-The diff between 2.4.4 and 2.5.x is 208,340 lines, so this release
-represents an enormous effort.
-
-This Director and Storage daemon must be upgraded at the same time,
-but they should be compatible with all 2.4.x File daemons, unless you
-use some of the new features that affect the FD. In other words, you should
-not have to upgrade all your File daemons when you upgrade. However, any
-release of version 2.5.40 or greater requires a database upgrade.
-
-================== Warning !!!!!! ==========================
-
-New Catalog format in version 3.0.0 (2.5.40 or later)
------------------------------------------------------
-
-This release of Bacula uses a new catalog format. We provide a set of
-scripts that permit to convert a 2.4.x (version 10) catalog to 3.0.0 (version
-11). The Bacula project rpms distributed on Source Forge will automatically
-detect the database change and do the upgrade for you. We strongly
-recommend that you save a copy of your existing database before upgrading
-using rpms.
-
-The simplest way to upgrad the database assuming you are building from
-source:
-1. Stop any current version of Bacula from running.
-2. Save a copy of your existing database.
-3. Configure, build, and install the 3.0.0 version of Bacula
- Note the new ./configure options in the manuals see the link
- at the bottom of this file.
-4. cd <your-scripts-installation-directory>
-5. ./update_bacula_tables
-6. If you have multiple catalogs, edit the update_bacula_tables
- script and put the name of another database, and then
- execute the script again. Repeat this until all Bacula
- catalogs have been updated.
-7. Start the new Bacula. If everything worked, it should
- not print any error messages.
-
-The upgrade operation will convert the FileId index field of the File table
-from 32 bits to 64 bits. This operation will take TIME and will *temporarily*
-DOUBLE THE SIZE of your catalog. Bacula must be shutdown during this update,
-so, won't be able to run jobs during this period. For example, a 3 million
-files
-catalog will take 2 mins to upgrade on a normal machine. Don't forget to
-backup it before executing the script.
-
-If you start from scratch, you don't need to run the update_bacula_tables
-script because the create_bacula_tables script automatically creates the new
-table format. However, if you are using a version of Bacula older than 2.5.40
-(e.g. 2.4.4) then you need to run the update_bacula_tables script that will
-be found in the <bacula>/src/cats directory after you run the ./configure
-command. As mentioned above, before running this script, please backup your
-catalog database, and when you do running it, be sure shutdown Bacula and be
-aware that running the script can take some time depending on your database
-size.
-
-
-Important New configure options :
-----------------------
-
-This release of Bacula 3.0.0 uses libtool by default
-to generate the Bacula libraries as shared objects rather than
-being directly linked in as in prior versions. This means that
-the Bacula shared objects, must either be in a shared object
-directory known to the loader or they must be in the directory
-where the Bacula binaries are installed. It is also possible
-to explicitly specify the libraries directory on the ./configure
-line (--libdir=/full-path/dir), but this should not be necessary.
-
- ./configure --libdir=<full-path>
-
-If you have problems with libtool or you wish to use the old
-way of building libraries and linking them into Bacula, you
-can do so by disabling libtool on the configure command line with:
-
- ./configure --disable-libtool
-
-During the installation of Bacula 3.0.0, it will now install
-bat help files (if you have configured bat). These files
-are placed in /usr/share/doc/bacula/html by default. If you
-want to put them elsewhere use:
-
- ./configure --htmldir=<full-path>
-
-During the installation of Bacula, it will now install the
-ReleaseNotes, License, technotes, ChangeLog, and similar
-files in /usr/share/doc/bacula by default. If you
-want to put them elsewhere use:
-
- ./configure --docdir=<full-path>
-
-During the installation of Bacula, any plugins will be
-installed in the plugindir, which is by default the
-same as libdir (/usr/lib). You can specify an alternate
-location with:
-
- ./configure --with-plugindir=<full-path>
-
-==============================================================
-
-This release includes large number of new features and changes.
-It should be more or less compatible with previous xx.conf files
-and File daemons providing that you are not using any of the new
-features.
-
-Please see the New Features chapter of the new manual, which documents
-some but not all the new features (we are still working on it):
-
-http://www.bacula.org/manuals/en/concepts/concepts/New_Features.html
-
-The ChangeLog has more details.

-Critical 2.4.3-orphaned-jobs.patch released
-We recently found and corrected a serious bug in Bacula that causes jobs to be
-orphaned or "stuck" in the director during the pruning process. Depending on
-what jobs get stuck and how many there are, it could prevent additional jobs
-from running. As best we can tell, this problem occurs only during what could
-be called extreme pruning conditions -- i.e. there are insufficient Volumes
-available for normal operations.
-
-In any case, we recommend that everyone apply the 2.4.3-orphaned-jobs.patch,
-which you can find in the bacula-patches section of the Source Forge download
-area as well as in the directory patches of both the trunk and Branch-2.4 SVN.

-Creation of Bacula Systems SA
-Dear Members of the Bacula Community,
-
-I'm pleased to announce the creation of Bacula Systems S.A., a new company to
-provide professional support and service for Bacula. I believe you will be
-pleased to see how we have married a strong commitment to the ethos of honest
-open source software with the availability of services desired by a wide
-range of Bacula users.
-
-As many of you know, I began work on Bacula in 2000 and released the first
-public version in April 2002 to Source Forge. Although I have personally
-written a very substantial part of the code, I offer sincere thanks to the
-many members of the community who have provided ideas, fixes, testing, and
-contributions of code, without which Bacula would not be what it is today.
-It has been a labor of love and I am pleased that so many people have found
-Bacula useful.
-
-Before telling you more about Bacula Systems, let me reiterate my unfaltering,
-ongoing commitment to open source software and the Bacula open source
-project. The code for Bacula and all future releases will remain available as
-free open source software under the GPL license that I transferred to the
-protection of the Free Software Foundation of Europe. Unlike some other open
-source projects, there will be no separate "enterprise" or proprietary
-version of the Bacula source code. www.bacula.org will continue to be the
-home for Bacula project development.
-
-So, why create Bacula Systems? The company was created to respond to requests
-from users who want professional support with guaranteed levels of service
-and response times. To ensure continuity and the highest level of knowledge
-transfer, I will take the position of Chairman of the Board and Chief
-Technical Officer of Bacula Systems S.A..
-
-Several members of the Bacula community have joined me to start the company.
-The other team members are also strongly dedicated to the spirit of keeping
-Bacula open and free while simultaneously offering commercial services to
-those for whom it is essential in making the decision to deploy Bacula.
-Bacula Systems is self-financed -- the initial capital comes from the
-founders; no outside venture capital was sought or accepted. This means we
-have the power to establish the company's priorities and we can remain
-dedicated to "honest open source". Bacula Systems S.A. is a Swiss company
-with offices in Yverdon-les-Bains, and with branches in France and Germany
-initially. We will open additional branches as business requires.
-
-I will continue to support development of Bacula via bacula.org and the Bacula
-community. Future developments will be in the "community" code base which
-will remain free. Bacula Systems will offer "funded development" to
-customers who wish to accelerate the addition of certain features to Bacula.
-Code developed this way will be contributed to the free distribution and will
-be available to the entire community at no charge. Bacula Systems will
-provide additional fee-based services, including high quality consulting,
-training, documentation and certified binaries.
-
-Our goal in establishing Bacula Systems is to be inclusive of the community,
-and expand it by creating opportunities for members of the Bacula community
-through a well-defined Partner Program. If you provide IT services or
-consulting, the Bacula Systems Partner Program can provide you with the
-additional back-up (pardon the pun) support you need to serve your customers
-more effectively.
-
-Our plan is to develop an international network of partners who offer high
-value added services to Bacula users -- installing, configuring and optimizing
-Bacula for their customers, as well as Level 3 and 4 support, with guaranteed
-service levels. We will also provide training and tools to our partners.
-
-The Bacula project website, www.bacula.org, and Source Forge will be unchanged
-in the mission and ideals of being free sources of information, mail lists
-and forum-based support for and by the community. Both Bacula source code and
-Bacula binaries will continue to be available for free, as in the past, and
-new releases will also be available for free. The new commercial website,
-www.baculasystems.com will provide information on commercial subscriptions
-for those users who want guaranteed levels of service, support, documentation
-and certified binaries.
-
-All members of the Bacula community are encouraged to register for free at
-www.baculasystems.com, so that you will receive announcements and news about
-our commercial activities, and so that you can send feedback to our new
-company, Bacula Systems.
-
-Thank you for your interest and participation in the Bacula community.
-
-Sincerely,
-
-Kern Sibbald

-Bacula version 2.4.3 Released
-This is to let you know that the source tar files and the Win32 binaries for
-Bacula version 2.4.3 have been released to the Bacula Source Forge download
-area.
-
-Release 2.4.3
- This is a bug fix to version 2.4.2. All daemons are compatible
- with other 2.4.x versions.
-
-Bugs Fixed:
- 1159, 1162. 1149, 1128, 1143, 1140, 1129
-
-Change Summary:
-- Apply 2.4.2-cancel-non-running-jobs.patch to be able to cancel
- a non created job faster.
-- This should correct bug #1159 where Migration does not properly
- respect the Migration Low Bytes directive.
-- Fix typo in configure.in that breaks --with-db-password option
-- This code should fix the race condition that leads to a Director
- crash at job end time when the job list is updated. This was reported
- in bug #1162.
-- Remove all double quotes from SQLite creating script and
- replace by single quotes as suggested by John Huttley.
-- Fix SQL case problem that may cause the failure of DiskToCatalog
- in bug #1149.
-- Copy missing storage name into edit buffer. As far as I can tell
- this never caused a bug.
-- Remove catalog dependency for bcopy
-- Modify catalog scripts to have an easier packaging integration,
- using default variables.
- Make difference between SQLite3 and SQLite in db_get_type()
-- Attempt to fix bug #1128 InChanger flag cleared during Migration
- job when reading from one autochanger and writing to another.
-- Add more information to SD acquire.c INFO messages.
-- Fix NULL Volume name error when reading and the drive must
- be switched.
-- Fix a Verify InitCatalog problem where in certain cases
- a garbage filename may be entered in the verification database. This
- fixes bug #1143.
-- Add space after version before date in bat about dialog.
-- Fix seg fault in Dir during estimate command with no level value
- given. This fixes bug #1140.
-- Add message to migration job when the target job is already migrated.
- This closes bug #1129.
-
-Unless some really serious new bug shows up, this will be the last release
-until the next major version (3.0.0), which we hope will be ready around the
-end of the year.

-Bacula version 2.4.2 Released
-This is to inform you that we have released the source and Win32 binaries of
-Bacula version 2.4.2 to the Bacula Source Forge download area.
-
- This is an important bug fix release since version 2.4.1.
-
-Bugs Fixed:
- 1034, 1125, 1118, 1124, 1107, 1129, 1126
-
-Change Summary:
-26Jul08
-- When a migration job actually runs, re-check the Job record
- and skip if the job is already migrated. This should
- significantly reduce the problems with bug #1129.
-- Break the do_swapping into do_unload, do_swapping, and
- do_load. It is much more logical that way.
-- Implement a set_dcr_from_vol subroutine in acquire.c for
- reading volumes. This allows the dcr to be refreshed after being
- zapped when the wrong volume is mounted. This should fix bug #1126 -
-- During multiple tape restore, bacula
- does not ask for physical tape change, but rereads same tape
-- Apply patch submitted for bug #1107 with a small modification.
- This fixes a bug where bcopy copied too many records.
-- Make some tweaks to bsmtp based on patch submitted in bug #1124.
- This fixes bug #1124.
-- Make the default bat restore Pool be Any. This fixes bug #1118.
-- Fix bug #1125 which reports a SD crash at the end of a tape
- during restore. It was a debug statement that should not be
- in a release.
-- Fix #1034 by setting big timeout on mysql connections
-- Do partial integration of the Win32 bat build created by Eric.
-- Ensure that SD tried to mount a volume not in an autochanger
- at least once before asking for operator intervention.
-- Fix a pthreads bug in the Win32 pthreads emulation code affects only
- version 2.5.x and above.

-Bacula version 2.4.1 Released
-This is to inform you that we have released the source and Win32 binaries of
-Bacula version 2.4.1 to the Bacula Source Forge download area.
-
-Bugs Fixed:
- 1103, 1100, 1105, 1094, 1109, 1106, 1101, 1102, 1112
- 1117, 1116, 1097.
-
-Change summary:
-- Clear in-use bit on vol when unused while swapping.
-- Remove sleep at end of ./bacula
-- Clear hash packet for hardlinked files correctly. This corrects
- a long standing bug where hardlinked files selected individually
- would occasionally not be restored.
-- Apply Eric's patch to ensure that autoprune does not return
- a Volume not in the autochanger unless requested to do so.
-- Correct bat restore display of multiple drives. This fixes
- bug #1117.
-- Do find_a_volume() each time an unload is done. This
- fixes the failure of maxvol2-test.
-- Use Qmsg() in job.c watchdog callback.
-- Release main control rwlock if ABORTing.
-- Make watchdog connect timeout queue messages rather than sending
- directly to avoid lock conflicts with the real thread.
-- Remove const char that causes problems with Python, which has
- older 'incorrect' headers.
-- Add const char in dbd.c to avoid compiler warnings.
-- Fix mtx-changer to detect both versions of Ubuntu (Debian)
- mt. This fixes bug #1116.
-- Fix failure of 2drive-concurrent-test. Always read label;
- clear_unload() only after drive is defined in acquire_for_read().
-- Generally clean up the manual tape loading code. The main
- conceptial change is that when a volume is marked to be unloaded,
- its volume name is retained, and it is only marked as unloaded
- when either the autoloader says it is unloaded or another tape
- is read on that drive.
-- Fix a recycling problem with two autochangers reported in bug
- #1106. This may also (unlikely) fix a second recycling bug as
- reported in #1103.
-- Fix a SD lock volumes deadlock problem reported in bug #1100.
-- Fix format problem in bscan output reported in bug #1105.
-- Copy more data when restarting a job so that run
- overrides are kept. This should fix bug #1094.
-- Backport updates to jobq.c where possible.
-- Fix bug where SD did not ask operator if the device could not
- be opened. Reported by Eric.
-- Add dbuser to DIR conf file (replaces user).
-- Add --with-db-password to ./configure
-- Fix regress to handle db_password.
-- Fix a couple of pedantic compiler warnings.
-- Fix bug when starting a restore on a storage that doesn't
- have the requested MediaType.
-- More work on word alignments -- eliminate all ints from
- the configuration routines.
-- Fix bug reported by Scott Barninger where the bacula script
- refers to scripts in the wrong directory. Needed to meet the
- requirements of recent FHS location changes.
-- Fix word alignment problem on non-Intel 64 bit machines
- such as Solaris. This should fix bug #1097 -- bus error in SD.
-- Add missing win32/patches/wxWidgets.patch to 2.4 repository.

-Bacula version 2.4.0 Released
-This is to inform you that we have released the source and Win32 binaries of
-Bacula version 2.4.0 to the Bacula Source Forge download area.
-
-This release consists mainly of a number of bug fixes since 2.2.x
-but most importantly, a rewrite of significant portions of the
-Storage daemon reservation and autochanger code. This rewritten
-code is simpler, more stable, and works much better, particularly
-with multiple drive autochangers than the prior code did. That
-said, there are still a number of issues to be resolved. Note,
-the new code has not been tested in manual volume mount situations.
-
-As usual, we strongly recommend when installing to keep the Director and the
-Storage daemon on the same version. However, since this release only
-contains refactored code and bug fixes rather than new features, the clients
-(File daemons) should function perfectly with any 2.2.x version, and there is
-no database upgrade needed.
-
-=====================================================
-
- Release Notes for Bacula 2.4.0
-
- Bacula code: Total files = 500 Total lines = 188,654 (*.h *.c *.in)
-
-This Director and Storage daemon must be upgraded at the same time,
-but they should be compatible with all 2.0.x File daemons, unless you
-use some of the new features that affect the FD. In other words, you should
-not have to upgrade all your File daemons when you upgrade. There is
-no database upgrade needed from version 2.0.x to 2.2.0 nor from version
-2.2.x to version 2.4.0
-
-================== Warning !!!!!! ==========================
-As of Version 2.4.0, the Win32 FD should not descend into
-any reparse point directory or reparse mount points unless the
-specified directory is explicitly mentioned at the top level of
-FileSet (as with Unix). A file that is linked to another file will
-be backed up, much like Unix hardlinked files. If you want
-reparse directories backed up, you must explicitly include them
-in your FileSet.
-======================================================
-
-This release consists mainly of a number of bug fixes since 2.2.x
-but most importantly, a rewrite of significant portions of the
-Storage daemon reservation and autochanger code. This rewritten
-code is simpler, more stable, and works much better, particularly
-with multiple drive autochangers than the prior code did. That
-said, there are still a number of issues to be resolved. Note,
-the new code has not been tested in manual volume mount situations.
-
-Bugs fixed:
- 1095, 1086, 1091, 1070, 1041, 1083, 1078, 1066, 1068, 1038
- 1062, 1065, 1046, 1047, 1031
-
-New features:
-- You can now build bat without the QWT libraries. Use
- --without-qwt as a ./configure option.
-
-Release Version 2.4.0
-- Update version to 2.4.0 to reflect the magnitude of the SD changes.
-- Make sure to clear JS_WaitMedia when operator mounts a Volume.
- This fixes bug #1095.
-- Add create_postgresql_database.sql to Win32 installer. Should
- fix problem reported by Juilio Monteiro.
-- Get correct slot when auto unloading a device. This fixes bug
- #1086.
-- Fix possible seg fault if SQL error.
-- Fix renaming a Volume, which used the wrong Volume name.
-- If operator has rewind tape, print warning, release tape and
- try once more. If tape is positioned somewhere, something went
- wrong, so mark the tape in error and try once more. Previously
- this error was fatal, now it produces an error message.
-- Ensure correct volume name displayed during restore
-- Fix a few more Coverity reported problems.
-- Fix #1091 about bad output in estimate command.
-- Modify autochanger locking to attempt to avoid race
- conditions.
-- Make sure device not busy before doing label command.
-- Display open() errors except when polling. Previously too
- many were suppressed. This should fix bug #1070.
-- Fix Win32 reparse points. Bacula will not recurse into any
- reparse point directory, including mount points, unless the
- directory is explicitly mentioned at the top level (same as
- with Unix). A file that is linked to another file will be
- backed up -- much as Unix does for hardlinked files.
- This fixes bug #1041.
-- Remove StorageId test when pruning and recycling (Eric's changes).
-- Fix buffer overruns detected by Coverity.
-- Implement --without-qwt
-- Fix layout of restore tree dialog
-- Add configure bat QWT libraries, so that bat can be built
- with or without the QWT libaries.
-- Implement regression that explicitly tests swapping a Volume
- from one drive to another.
-- Enhance disk-changer to detect most error conditions.
-- Fix SD code so that it properly swaps a Volume between drives.
- This fixes bug #1083.
-- Prevent a Volume that is being swapped from being freed from
- the volume list. This will most likely fix, at least partially,
- bug #1083.
-- Fix strippath so that it does not get a buffer overrun and crash FD.
- This fixes bug #1078.
-- Make inability to change owner/group when creating a dir only a

-A serious data loss bug in Bacula version 2.2.4 found and fixed
-
-This bug was very elusive and time consuming to track down. It
-turned out to be a race condition that can lose the last one or
-two blocks of a Job, which can happen in rare cases only when
-running multiple simultaneous jobs when a volume fills and one
-Job finishes receiving the last data from the FD and at the same
-time a second job detects the end of the Volume. The bug was
-introduced in version 2.0.0 and did not exist in version 1.38.x.
-If the bug is triggered, the data is lost (not written to the
-Volume), and it can occur for any backup job of any level under
-the conditions noted above.
-
-The bug is reported in the bugs database as bug #964, and just
-this morning I found and tested a fix, which is attached as a patch
-to the bug report. The patch (2.2.4-lost-block.patch) is also
-uploaded to the bacula-patches 2.2.x release area. This bug may
-also be part of the problems reported in bug #935 and possibly
-#903.
-
-Also in the bacula-patches 2.2.x area, you will find other
-patches that fixes bugs #953, 966, 967, 965, 958, 908, and
-955. Please refer to bugs.bacula.org for the details.
-
-Though this bug quite serious (data loss), it should be rare.
-However, we recommend everyone to apply the patch.

-Bacula version 2.2.4 Released
-
-This version of Bacula is a minor bug release to version 2.2.3.
-It contains the following fixes:
-
-- Possible fix for authorization problems bug #953.
-- Possible fix for bug #908.
-- Add waits to multiple exit detection code to try to force pid
- file to always be deleted.
-- Restore good dev.tar.gz to rescue set appropriate binary property.
- This fixes bug #950.
-- Fix seg fault in error exit of acquire_for_read after unsuccessfully
- trying to switch drives by checking for blocking before unblocking.
- Fixes bug #906.
-- Cancel storage daemon in all cases where FD reports error. This
- should fix virtually all cases of bug #920 and will ensure that Devices
- are released as soon as possible.
-- Fix error message that was clobbered when Dir tells SD it does not
- have write permission on Volume. This should fix a minor point
- in bug #942, but not the main problem.
-- Fix migration code to get correct Volume name with multiple volumes
- by skipping |. Fixes bug #936.
-- Implement patch supplied by Landon to fix bug #944 where using
- TLS with bconsole uses 99+% of the CPU.
-- Fix bug #946 about "bacula-dir -t" which doesn't works
- as expected.
-- Using "m" in bconsole will show messages as in prior versions
- and not memory usage.
-
-- Note, you need GTK >= 2.10 to be able to link the Tray Monitor
- program.

-Kern;;;2007/9/9;;;14:30
-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.
-
-For the technical details of the bug, please see:

-
-Bacula Version 2.2.0 has been released to Source Forge.
-
- Release Notes for Bacula 2.2.0
-
- Bacula code: Total files = 520 Total lines = 195,550 (*.h *.c *.in)
- 82 new files, 41,221 new lines of code, 208,380 lines of change from 2.0.3
-
-This Director and Storage daemon must be upgraded at the same time,
-but they should be compatible with all 2.0.x File daemons, unless you
-use some of the new features that affect the FD. In other words, you should
-not have to upgrade all your File daemons when you upgrade. There is
-no database upgrade needed from version 2.0.x to 2.2.0.
-
-Areas requiring caution or testing:
-- You must have the thread safe version of MySQL client libraries loaded
- to build with MySQL enabled.
-- Volumes are pruned only when absolutely necessary -- this may cause
- your database to grow compared to prior Bacula versions.
-- Solaris door and even port files are no longer restored (equivalent
- to what we do with sockets).
-- SQLite is no longer supported for Solaris -- it fails too often with
- bus errors. SQLite3 should work on Solaris.
-- The default setting for SQLite3 is now 'PRAGMA synchronous=OFF'.
- This makes it run 30 times faster, but increases the possiblity
- of a corrupted database if your server shuts down unexpectedly.
- The default behavior can be changed in src/version.h
-- Restore on Win32, and in particular on Vista is untested. Please
- test before relying on it. It should backup and restore reparse
- points.
-- Win32 servers are untested, and very likely not to work.
-
-The major new features are:
-- Much faster insertion of attributes (somewhere around 10 times),
- many thanks to Eric Bollengier and Marc Cousin.
-- First release of bat (Bacula Administration Tool). Note to build
- bat you must explicitly enable it on the ./configure line, you
- must have the Qt4 version 4.2 or later libraries loaded, the qwt
- (Qt Graphics) package loaded, and qmake and the other Qt4 tools
- must be available. Most of the implementation was done by Dirk Bartley.
-- Red/Black restore in memory tree (500 times faster loading).
-- The Regex Where code to allow easier relocation of restored files
- thanks to Eric.
-- Socket level heartbeat for all connections (untested).
-- posix_fadvise() use in the FD to improve performance reduces
- swapping due to opening/reading lots of files. Win32 equivalent
- implemented.
-- Much improved Volume reservation code that should eliminate most
- conflicts experienced in multiple drive autochangers.
-- Simpler locking in the SD in the reservation system.
-- Detection of file size/date change during backup if enabled.
-- New Recycle Pool feature -- thanks to Eric.
-- Efficient implementation of very large include/exclude lists.
-- Volumes are no longer pruned during 'status dir'
-- Pruning is now more efficient, and if a Volume is purged,
- during pruning, it is immediately discovered.
-- License is now GPL v2 without modifications, fix a few copyright
- mistakes made when adding FSFE copyright notice.
-
-New ./configure options:
-- --enable-bwx-console
-- --enable-bat
-- --with-qwt=
-- --with-db-name=
-- --with-db-user=
-- --enable-batch-insert
-
-New bconsole commands:
-- exec
-- memory
-- update recyclepool
-- .sql
-- .api
-- .pwd (in restore tree)
-- restoreclient (keyword)
-- backupclient (keyword)
-- regexwhere (keyword)
-- update jobid (new command)
-- recyclepool (keyword)
-
-New directives:
-- Heartbeat Interval (bconsole.conf)
-- Heartbeat Interval (bacula-dir.conf in Director, Client, Storage)
-- TLS Allowed CN (bacula-dir.conf in Client)
-- Regex Where (bacula-dir.conf in Job)
-- Strip Prefix (bacula-dir.conf in Job)
-- Add Prefix (bacula-dir.conf in Job)
-- Add Suffex (bacula-dir.conf in Job)
-- Recycle Pool (bacula-dir.conf in Pool)
-- FailJobOnError (bacula-dir.conf in RunScript)
-- CheckFileChanges (bacula-dir.conf in FileSet)
-- StripPath (bacula-dir.conf in FileSet)
-
-Other features or bug fixes:
-- Fixed bugs: 916, 910, 917, 914, 906, 907,
- 842, 830, 893, 861, 888, 886, 807, 877, 872
- 885, 887, 864, 874, 882, 881, 863, 859,
- 856, 854, 845, 847, 846, 809, 772,
- 822, 825, 824, 808, 802, 797, 798, 795, 789, 791,
- 788, 780, 763, 782, 612, 767, 775, 621, 772, 764,
- 766, 621, 761, 755, 750, 741, 747, 742, 744, and 743.
-- Configure bat with --enable-bat. Define qwt libraries with
- --with-qwt=<dir>. See Installation chapter of manual for details.
-- Create a depkgs-qt package that has both Qt4 and qwt, which are
- needed to build bat. Most modern Linux systems will have both
- these packages in the distro.
-- Storage overrides delete all previous storage definitions instead
- of prepending.
-- One should be able to mount and unmount removable devices if the
- Device resource has Removeable Media set and the mount and unmount
- directives are defined.
-- ./configure will do a better job of searching for qwt libraries.
-- The Win32 version can no longer be shutdown from the tray monitor.
- Use the command line or the Services panne.
-- Keep prune_volumes() from pruning the whole Scratch pool.
-- More debug output in status storage.
-- Correct moving a Scratch volume from pool to pool (some
- critical columns were lost).
-- Different locking in reservations and despooling systems,
- which means more micro-locking and less macro-locking, which
- should give a lot more concurrency at the expense of slightly
- (<0.1%) more overhead due to more locking/unlocking, but
- concurrent jobs should run much faster.
-- Additional drive reservation algorithm that should solve a lot of
- the problems experienced with multiple drive autochangers.
-- Storage daemon status command enhanced to more clearly show Volume,
- pool and media type when a job is waiting.
-- Made bsmtp work with more strict SMTP servers.
-- Detect doubly freed buffers in smartall.c
-- wx-console renamed to bwx-console (Fedora request)
-- gnome-console renamed to bgnome-console (Fedora request)
-- Migration preserves original job's FileSetId
-- Spooling implemented for migration jobs.
-- Config files can be read through a pipe, by specifying a leading |
- in front of the configuration path/filename.
-- New memory command (bconsole) that will print the current Director's
- memory usage, and an in use buffer dump.
-- Console name changed from *Console* to -Console- to accomodate Win32
- filename restrictions.
-- Corrected the Win32 ftruncate bug.
-- Additional version information added to Job reports.
-- New -8 option for bsmtp to specify UTF-8 encoding type.
-- bsmtp will no longer add < > to target (from, to, cc) if there
- is already a < in the target.
-- Prefer Mounted Volumes extended to mean a volume that is being
- mounted by another job.
-- Runscript timing set to same as version 1.38.11
-- New TLS Allowed CN directive(s) permitted.
-- New bconsole 'exec' command to run external script/command.
-- Turn on FreeBSD/OpenBSD code to set EOT model on tape.
-- Drop from root done before database is opened.
-- Database user and name can be configured with:
- --with-db-name=name --with-db-user=user
-- Turn on wait_for_drive in mtx-changer script.
-- Rework how bar codes are handled in mtx-changer script.
- This appears to have been an unreported bug.
-- Updated nagios plugin supplied by Christian Masopust
-- Better restricted console ACL checking.
-- New Client Connect Wait directive in Storage daemon so that
- users can configure how long SD waits for FD connection.
-- Bacula will no longer permit pruning of the currently running
- job (note, if other jobs are running, they may be pruned).
-- Sockets are no longer restored.
-- dbcheck works in 300K chunks so will typically run faster.
-- Include/Exclude lists can now be efficiently handled for quite
- large sizes -- tens of thousands of entries.
-- Several memory leaks in migration and database usage were fixed.
-- New console keyword restoreclient, which specifies the client to
- which the restore will be sent. The client keyword specifies
- the backup client. The restoreclient keyword is optional if it is
- not specified, the backup client will also be the restore client.
-- The disk file size is now checked to ensure that it agrees with the
- catalog value before Bacula will append to the disk (same as tape
- and DVD).

-19Feb07
-kes Restore of sockets created false error messages because Bacula
- no longer restores sockets, but the code was still trying to
- set the attributes on a non-existent file. Reported by a user.
-16Feb07
-kes Fix encryption deblocking bug, which caused some restored files
- to be truncated. This fixes bug #763. This is a CRITICAL bug fix.

-kes Fix 12am/pm bug as reported in bug #782.
-15Feb07
-kes Add quick disconnect FD code from 2.1.4 to 2.0.3. This code
- causes the SD to release the FD as soon as the FD has sent
- all the data to the SD. After that the SD will do any final
- despooling (data and attributes) that are necessary. This

-Bacula Version 2.0.1 has been released to Source Forge.
-This is bug fix update to version 2.0.0 and contains
-the following fixes:
-
-- Fix Bacula->Documentation link on Win32 to point to index.html
- instead of bacula.html. Fixed bug #750.
-- Return JobId in db_get_job_record() when JobId==0. This should
- fix bug #741.
-- Do not release source pointers when restarting a failed job.
-- Add dynamic dll entry point for SHGetFolderPath to Win32 code.
- This *should* fix bug #747.
-- Modify winbacula.nsi to substitute with g bin_dir_cmd. Should fix
- bug #742.
-- Modify USTORE constructor to set an empty store_source string,
- and don't copy the store_source string in a cancel. Hopefully
- this will fix Arno's seg fault, bug #744.
-- Add back code to disable conio in configure. Fixes bug #743.
-- Correct the Options scanner in the FD to correctly handle
- SHA1 option, which was eating the next option. Reported by
- Sebastien Guilbaud.
-- Add code to indicate when the SD is spooling, spool wait, and
- despooling as requested by Alan Brown.

- Release Notes for Bacula 2.0.0
-
- Bacula code: Total files = 438 Total lines = 154,329 (*.h *.c *.in)
-
-==== IMPORTANT Catalog update required =====
-- The database format has been updated from what was used in
- Bacula 1.38.x. You must manually update your database before
- running Bacula 1.39.x or higher. If you are using Bacula supplied
- RPMs this is not necessary as the RPM does it automatically.
- Please backup your previous version of the database before
- running the update. The update script will be automatically
- installed in your scripts directory, or can also be found in
- <bacula-source>/src/cats. It is called:
-
- ./update_bacula_tables
-
- It is necessary to run it only once the first time you move to
- a 2.0.0. Upgrading the Bacula version thereafter does not
- require updating the database again. Depending on the size of
- your database the script make take a bit of time, to run, but
- in general, it should be very fast.
-
-==== IMPORTANT new Win32 install procedure =====
- For Win32 migrations from versions prior to 1.39.0 nothing special
- needs to be done to upgrade. Everything should be taken care of
- automatically. The only thing not done is to delete the old C:\bacula
- directory mostly out of paranoia.
-
-==== IMPORTANT miscellaneous ====
-- The Gnome console program (gconsole) no longer functions as it
- should.More importantly, in restore mode, the restore tree is
- no longer shown in the left pane. I suspect this is due to
- incompatible changes in the GTK+ API, and hence have given up
- on gnome and gtk+, as this has already happened several times
- previously. At some point there will be a new GUI console.
-- The bacula-dir.conf directive Accept Any Volume has been
- removed because it was never implemented. You must delete all
- occurrence of this directive for the Director to run. The Storage
- daemon will automatically accept any valid Volume that you mount.
-- The --mandir ./configure option now points to the top level man
- directory. The man files will be installed under mandir/man8 and
- mandir/man1 as appropriate.
-- You *should* be able to use 1.38.x FDs with version 2.0.0 Director
- and SD providing you do not use any of the new features (runscript,
- data encryption). It seems to work here, but we do not guarantee it.
-- Your Director and SD must be simultaneously upgraded.
-- The restore command no longer uses the MediaType as the primary method
- of finding a suitable Storage device. Normally it will select the last
- device used to write a Volume. If no storage device is defined, it
- will use the old algorithm which selects the first Storage resource
- with the correct MediaType.
-- The MD5/SHA1 hash codes kept in the database are now kept in a binary
- format compatible with the rest of the world. If you are running verify
- jobs, you *must* do an InitCatalog or all files will show an MD5
- difference. Also, authentication uses the new algorithm by
- default, but *should* accept connections from older components (FD) using
- the old non-compatible algorithm. This has been tested, but more
- more testing is still needed.
-- A stock SuSE 10.1 kernel may crash when Bacula runs and accesses
- the tape drive. Workaround, load the SuSE 10.1 version 2.6.16.21-0.25
- kernel or later. The SuSE 10.2 Alpha 5 or later kernel also works.
- This problem may also be present in certain Fedora FC5 kernels.
-- If you have been using the data encryption feature of 1.39.x, please
- be aware that certain combinations of encryption and other options
- with version 1.39.0 through 1.39.26 created Volume data that cannot
- be restored. We strongly recommend that anyone using encryption
- carefully review his/her backups and at a minium do a Full backup
- with 1.39.28 of all encrypted data. Robert Nelson has identified
- and fixed it as follows:
- As of 1.39.27:
- No filters = Works fine
- Sparse = Works fine
- Compression = Works fine
- Encryption = Works fine
- Sparse + Compression = Works fine
-
- Sparse + Encryption = Restore broken
- Sparse + Compression + Encryption = Restore broken
- Compression + Encryption = Restore broken
-
- As of 1.39.28:
- Most combinations work, but some encrypted files are
- not properly restored.
-
- As of 1.39.30:
- All combinations work fine except Sparse+Encryption.
-
- Bottom line, if you are using data encryption, please test restoring
- data to be sure it all works correctly.
-- The current Volume format written by 1.39.22 is different from
- the format written by previous versions. The two formats
- are not compatible. Thus any DVDs written prior to 1.39.22 will
- be unreadable by version 1.39.22.
-- If you previously run a Bacula version prior to 1.39.30, the JobMedia
- data may not be correct for disk Volumes. This can cause incorrect
- seeking in versions after 1.39.30. If you experience what appears to
- be data I/O or integrity errors during restores, please add the
- following directive to your disk DEVICE resource in the Storage
- daemon conf file:
-
- Block Positioning = no
-
- This will turn off all seek requests during restores and avoid
- this problem.
-- VSS for Windows clients is now enabled by default.
-- Do not unload autochanger when doing "update slots"
-- Implement mount command for autochanger, see manual.
-
-New Features in 2.0.0:
-- Turn on disk seek code for restores.
-- There is a partial but reasonable translation of the Bacula
- messages for French. To install it, first configure and build
- Bacula, then as root run:
-
- cd <bacula-source>/po
- make install
-
- If you have your locale set properly you will get the translated
- messages.
-- Bacula now support Migration jobs that are documented in a new
- Migration chapter in the manual
- http://www.bacula.org/dev-manual/Migration.html
-- Data encryption is now implemented and is documented in
- a new chapter of the manual at:
- http://www.bacula.org/dev-manual/Bacula_Data_Encryption.html
-- Additional support for removable devices. See the
- Requires Mount, Mount Point, Mount Command, and Unmount
- Commands in the Storage daemon configuration chapter:
- http://www.bacula.org/dev-manual/Storage_Daemon_Configuratio.html
- Also see the Edit Codes for Mount and Unmount Directives in the
- same chapter.
-- Switch the Win32 build from using Microsoft C++ to using mingw32
- cross-compiling. The initial work was done by Howard Thomson,
- then tweaked by me. Robert Nelson then totally reworked the
- cross-compiling code so that it not only cross-compiles, but
- also compiles on Visual Studio, and at the same time, he added
- all the current Unix features to the FD, such as selection on
- drives, encryption support, building *all* the tools, ...
-- The Director and Storage daemon have now been ported to Win32.
- This code is working but should still be tested carefully
- before putting into production.
-- Bacula restore and bextract can now extract non-portable Win32 data to
- any client (including Unix/Linux clients). Of course, in doing so,
- the Microsoft specific permissions and ACLs will be lost. Thanks
- to Thorsten Engel for this code.
-- The 260 character limitation for Win32 paths name lengths is now
- eliminated thanks to Thorsten Engel. However, if you are using
- Volume Shadow Copy, please be careful to specify all the paths
- in the bacula-fd.conf file using a full path notation including
- the drive letter.
-- Eric Bollengier wrote new RunScript directives that includes
- the old RunBefore/AfterJob and ClientRunBefore/AfterJob features
- plus a *lot* more, allowing you to control just about every aspect
- of running scripts. See the manual for detailed documentation.
- http://www.bacula.org/dev-manual/Configuring_Director.html#5227
-- SunOS ACLs should now work thanks to a patch from David Duchscher.
-- Apply days keyword patch from Alexander.Bergolth at wu-wien.ac.at
- If this patch is applied, the number of days can be specified with
- "list nextvol days=xx"
- or
- "status dir days=xx"
- This can be used to preview the next scheduled job (and the
- next tape to be used) on Fridays if there are no scheduled jobs during
- the weekend.
-- From Eric Bollengier. One can now using the bconsole wait command do:
- wait (wait for all jobs to stop)
- wait jobid=nn
- wait jobuid=unique id
- wait job=job-name
-- Volumes can now be set to Enable, Disable, or Archive. If they
- are not enabled, Volumes will not be mounted.
- Implement update volume enable=(on|off|true|false|archived|0|1|2)
-- Add Catalog message destination in Messages resource that puts the
- job report in the Log database table.
-- Writing/reading DVD Volumes is much more stable -- to the point
- of being useful. Thanks to Richard Mortimer.
-- Add enable/disable job=<job-name>. This command prevents
- the specified job from being scheduled. Even when disabled,
- the job can be manually started from the console.
-- The database Id records should be 32/64 bit independent now. 64 bits
- can be enabled by changing one define and changing the appropriate
- table variable. Normally, you need 64 bits only for FileId.
-- Relative path specifications (i.e. ../xxx) are now permitted in
- the restore cd command.
-- When running multiple simultaneous jobs, most jobs that use spooling
- will now finish faster due to a mutex optimization made by Eric
- Bollengier.
-- Conf files containing UTF-8 marker at the head of the file as well as
- conf files containing Window cr/lf and Mac cr line termination characters
- are now accepted thanks to Robert Nelson.
-- Windows tray status windows are scrollable and resizable.
-- Win32 external script execution is much more flexible -- handles
- spaces in names better, ...
-- Lots of DVD fixes -- writing DVDs is now reported to work.
-- Fix opening of database in a restricted console to respect
- any Catalog ACL.
-- Much better automatic handling of multiple database catalogs in
- the restore command.
-- Permit multiple console/director resources in bconsole.conf.
- patch from Carsten Paeth calle@calle.in-berlin.de
-- Character substitution in Job/JobDefs WriteBootStrap.
- from Eric Bollengier.
-- Apply patch supplied in bug #656 to pass priority field
- in the run dialog to the Director in gnome console.
-- Add support of encrypted data stream to bscan from Eric.
- display data_len instead of data content (may be binary).
-- Add Enabled=xxx on update slots command.
-- Add host:port to connect failure messages to FD and SD from Dir/
-- Add WhereACL to console ACL list. If nothing is specified, only
- the default is permitted for restore. Otherwise, *all* allows any
- path, or you can specify permitted paths. This should allow control
- over where users can restore files. This is untested.
-- Install man pages with 'make install'.
-- Add Media.Enabled flag to client backups for dotcmds.c
-- Enforce Media.Enabled=1 for a current restore to work
-- Require restore case 3 to have sqlquery permission to work.
-- Add -n option to bconsole to turn off conio -- used in bweb.
-- The bytes field in the terminated jobs part of the status
- command now reports in KB, MB, ... units.
-- When not descending into a directory, print the File= name that
- triggered it -- makes why not descending a bit clearer
-- Do not unload autochanger when doing "update slots"
-- Implement mount command for autochanger
-- Fix bug #462 incorrect error message printed when client script called
- from File= was not found.
-- Fix bug #558 (waiting for feedback) where Bacula needs too much time to
- do a rewind on Solaris when no tape is in the drive (Solaris does not
- have the detailed errno found on Linux). Added Solaris specific code.
- Note, this may apply to other OSes as well.
-- The examples directory has a new bacula_mail_summary.sh file that
- creates a single email summary of any number of jobs. Submitted by
- Andrew J. Millar.
-- Add nagios plugin to the examples directory. Submitted by
- Christian Masopust.
-- Modify most restore error messages to be queued so that they
- appear at the end of the job rather than mixed with the restore
- listing where they could be "lost".
-- Apply patch supplied by user (slightly modified) to fix
- correct detection of holes in block devices and FIFOs.
- Bug # 506.
-- Added a report.pl program to the examples directory from Jonas Bjorklund.
-- Add two new queries to query.sql provided by Arno. One
- list volumes known to the Storage device, and the other
- lists volumes possibly needing replacement (error, ...).
-- Implement new code for changing userid and group at startup. This
- should get Bacula into the correct groups.
-- Implement support for removable filesystems -- device type directive
- and mount, unmount directives.
-- Transfer rates are now presented in a more readable format thanks
- to a user submission.
-- SD is now aware of what volumes are mounted. More information is printed
- in the Status report. You must take much more care now to unmount
- devices prior to removing tapes that Bacula has open or prior to
- changing a magazine. Don't forget to do a mount afterwards or the
- device will be blocked.
-- The Pool Maximum Volumes directive is now respected in all places.
-- A Storage device can now be specified in a Pool resource. It will override
- all other Storage specifications.
-- Most but not all directives accept true/false in place of yes/no.
-- A patch from Karl Hakimian that reads JobIds, FileIndexes
- from a database table for restore.
-- There are a number of new tables. Some such as the Location table are
- designed for user use in doing Volume Management software.
-- Maximum Changer Wait, Maximum Open Wait, Maximum Rewind Wait to
- accept time qualifiers.
-- Implement jobuid to replace old usage of job in keywords as
- suggested by Eric Bollengier.
-- Implement write variables for Python to set Priority (anytime), and
- Job Level, only during JobInit event.
-- Use the keyword ujobid to mean the unique job id; job or jobname
- to mean the Job name given on the Name directive, and jobid to
- be the numeric (non-unique) job id.
-- Allow the SD to use multiple drives during a backup/restore (only
- one at a time).
-- Integrate addition of line count limitation to bsmtp -l from
- Sebastian Stark <stark at tuebingen.mpg.de>
-- Split the bacula start/start script into four files:
- bacula -- starts and stops calling other scripts
- bacula-ctl-dir -- starts/stops the director
- bacula-ctl-fd -- starts/stops the File daemon
- bacula-ctl-sd -- starts/stops the Storage daemon
-- Remove automatic case folding on Windows FDs. You must
- explicitly use the 'Ignore Case = yes' option.
-- Implement wild program in tools directory for testing
- wild-cards. Almost identical to the regex program.
-- Use the new bregex.c to implement Regex expressions on Win32.
-- Apply patch from Christopher Hull
- - Allow multiple connections to database with different
- parameters.
- - Invalidate the scheduler when doing a reload. Fixes seg
- fault, but still 60 second window.
- - Additional info in Reschedule message.
- - Use set_jcr_job_status() everywhere to prevent loss of
- cancel, error.
- - Display peer IP in FD if error from connecting DIR.
- - Don't increment file count for DIRBEGIN.
- - Replace illegal characters in Win32 filename by _.
- - Add SE_CREATE_PERMANENT_NAME privilege in Win32.
- - Hash hard link filenames rather than linked list (performance).
- - Fix for security failure in chdir on Win32.
- - Add CreateDirectoryA/W win32 API entry points.
-- programs to duplicate Bacula's base64 algorithm using standard
- routines. This fixes bugs #296, and 565. Patch submitted by
- author of bug #565.
-- Fixes to reloading the Dir conf file from Eric Bollengier and Christopher
- Hull.
-- Modify LICENSE to correct some problems pointed out by Debian.
-- Apply a patch submitted by cesarb in bug #606 to implement O_NOATIME support.
- O_NOATIME is a open() flag which makes it possible to read a file without
- updating the inode atime (and also without the inode ctime update which
- happens if you try to set the atime back to its previous value). It also
- prevents a race condition when two programs are reading the same file, but
- only one does not want to change the atime. It's most useful for backup
- programs and file integrity checkers (and bacula can fit on both
- categories).
- You enable it in the Bacula FileSet Options resource by setting:
- noatime = yes
- The effect of this option is similar to the keepatime option except
- it is more efficient and avoids modifying ctime.
-- Implement a pile of new man pages contributed by Jose Tallon.
-- Modify the database format for handling Migration jobs:
- Add PriorJobId, RealEndTime to Job table
- Delete MAC table
- Remove Stripe from JobMedia record (not used, wasting space)
- Add ScratchPoolId, RecyclePoolId, Enabled to Media record
- Add Cost to Location table.
- Enabled to Media table and Location table.
-- Security: harden authentication failure in FD by single threading errors
- and forcing a 6 second wait.
-- If using GCC (actually g++) add the following compiler flags
- -fno-strict-aliasing -fno-exceptions -fno-rtti
-- Turn on new bsnprintf() code. The reason for this code is to
- eliminate the security problems associated with using the
- system libraries print routines.
-- Implement job report that indicates where Storage and Pool
- came from -- with overrides and Pool storage and NextPool,
- it is all very complicated.
-- Add more detail (Storage, Device) to list of volumes printed
- for restore.
-- Add new VOLMGMT message class. No messages are yet sent with this
- class.
-- Improved Bacula rescue procedures -- see the Disaster Recovery
- chapter of the manual
-- Add spooling/despooling info in status output of SD.
-- Add Comment field to llist of a volume.
-- Allow true/false in many but not all yes/no directives.
-- The Bacula source code is now copyrighted by the Free Software
- Foundation Europe. The Developer's Guide documents the new procedures,
- and the LICENSE file has been updated.
-- Apply Jaime Ventura's patch that implements the Messages resource
- Mail On Success directive.
-- The Client returns its Version string, which is printed in the Job
- report.
-- The Client returns whether or not VSS and Encryption are used, which
- are printed in the Job report.
-
-Additional Features Added for Win32:
-- Added DriveType directive to the Director's Include Option FileSet
- resource. Allowed values are: fixed, removable, cdrom, and remote. There
- is only an implementation for Windows because it is the only platform that
- has the concept of drives.
-
-- Adds EnhancedWild directive to the Director's Include Option FileSet
- resource. Allowed values are: yes and no.
-
- When EnhancedWild is enabled then the processing of the
- Wild, WildDir and WildFile is changed in the following ways.
-
- Patterns conform to Posix
- \ is not a special character in character classification []
- To match a - it must be the first or last character
- To match a ] it must be the first character
-
- fnmatch option FNM_FILE_NAME is specified * doesn't match a /
- so it won't match multiple directory levels in a path
-
-- Relative WildFile patterns (ones without a leading /) match
- against the filename portion. This in combination with the
- FNM_FILE_NAME fnmatch() flag makes directives such as WildFile =
- abc*.def work as expected.
-
-- Adds support for the shell's feature of brace expansion.
-
- Here is an example where braces allow 24 lines to be expressed in 5.
-
- # Exclude directories full of lots and lots of useless little files
- WildDir = "[A-Z]:/{Documents and Settings,{WINNT,Windows}/Profiles}/*/Cookies"
- WildDir = "[A-Z]:/{Documents and Settings,{WINNT,Windows}/Profiles}/*/Recent"
- WildDir = "[A-Z]:/{Documents and Settings,{WINNT,Windows}/Profiles}/*/{Local Settings,LOCALS~1}/History"
- WildDir = "[A-Z]:/{Documents and Settings,{WINNT,Windows}/Profiles}/*/{Local Settings,LOCALS~1}/Temp"
- WildDir = "[A-Z]:/{Documents and Settings,{WINNT,Windows}/Profiles}/*/{Local Settings,LOCALS~1}/Temporary Internet Files"
