+
+   What:  Provide some means, possibly by a restricted console that
+          allows a FD to initiate a backup, and that uses the connection
+          established by the FD to the Director for the backup so that
+          a Director that is firewalled can do the backup.
+
+   Why:   Makes backup of laptops much easier.

+Item  4:  Merge multiple backups (Synthetic Backup or Consolidation).
+  Origin: Marc Cousin and Eric Bollengier 
+  Date:   15 November 2005
+  Status: Waiting implementation. Depends on first implementing 
+          project Item 2 (Migration) which is now done.
+
+  What:   A merged backup is a backup made without connecting to the Client.
+          It would be a Merge of existing backups into a single backup.
+          In effect, it is like a restore but to the backup medium.
+
+          For instance, say that last Sunday we made a full backup.  Then
+          all week long, we created incremental backups, in order to do
+          them fast.  Now comes Sunday again, and we need another full.
+          The merged backup makes it possible to do instead an incremental
+          backup (during the night for instance), and then create a merged
+          backup during the day, by using the full and incrementals from
+          the week.  The merged backup will be exactly like a full made
+          Sunday night on the tape, but the production interruption on the
+          Client will be minimal, as the Client will only have to send
+          incrementals.
+
+          In fact, if it's done correctly, you could merge all the
+          Incrementals into single Incremental, or all the Incrementals
+          and the last Differential into a new Differential, or the Full,
+          last differential and all the Incrementals into a new Full
+          backup.  And there is no need to involve the Client.
+
+  Why:    The benefit is that :
+          - the Client just does an incremental ;
+          - the merged backup on tape is just as a single full backup,
+            and can be restored very fast.
+
+          This is also a way of reducing the backup data since the old
+          data can then be pruned (or not) from the catalog, possibly
+          allowing older volumes to be recycled

+  Origin: Ross Boylan <RossBoylan at stanfordalumni dot org> (edited

+  Status:         
+
+   What:  Provide a way for Bacula to automatically remove Volumes
+          from the filesystem, or optionally to truncate them.
+          Obviously, the Volume must be pruned prior removal.
+
+  Why:    This would allow users more control over their Volumes and
+          prevent disk based volumes from consuming too much space.
+
+  Notes:  The following two directives might do the trick:
+
+          Volume Data Retention = <time period>
+          Remove Volume After = <time period>
+
+          The migration project should also remove a Volume that is

-          It would be a Merge of existing backups into a single backup.
-          In effect, it is like a restore but to the backup medium.
+  What:   Currently when a file changes, the entire file will be backed up in

+Item  9:  Implement a server-side compression feature
+  Date:   18 December 2006
+  Origin: Vadim A. Umanski , e-mail umanski@ext.ru
+  Status:
+  What:   The ability to compress backup data on server receiving data
+          instead of doing that on client sending data.
+  Why:    The need is practical. I've got some machines that can send
+          data to the network 4 or 5 times faster than compressing
+          them (I've measured that). They're using fast enough SCSI/FC
+          disk subsystems but rather slow CPUs (ex. UltraSPARC II).
+          And the backup server has got a quite fast CPUs (ex. Dual P4
+          Xeons) and quite a low load. When you have 20, 50 or 100 GB
+          of raw data - running a job 4 to 5 times faster - that
+          really matters. On the other hand, the data can be
+          compressed 50% or better - so losing twice more space for
+          disk backup is not good at all. And the network is all mine
+          (I have a dedicated management/provisioning network) and I
+          can get as high bandwidth as I need - 100Mbps, 1000Mbps...
+          That's why the server-side compression feature is needed!
+  Notes:
 
-          This is also a way of reducing the backup data since the old
-          data can then be pruned (or not) from the catalog, possibly
-          allowing older volumes to be recycled

-Item  7:  Deletion of Disk-Based Bacula Volumes
-  Date:   Nov 25, 2005
-  Origin: Ross Boylan <RossBoylan at stanfordalumni dot org> (edited
-          by Kern)
-  Status:         
+  What:   Make Bacula manage tape life cycle information, tape reuse
+          times and drive cleaning cycles.
 
-   What:  Provide a way for Bacula to automatically remove Volumes
-          from the filesystem, or optionally to truncate them.
-          Obviously, the Volume must be pruned prior removal.
+  Why:    All three parts of this project are important when operating
+          backups.
+          We need to know which tapes need replacement, and we need to
+          make sure the drives are cleaned when necessary.  While many
+          tape libraries and even autoloaders can handle all this
+          automatically, support by Bacula can be helpful for smaller
+          (older) libraries and single drives.  Limiting the number of
+          times a tape is used might prevent tape errors when using
+          tapes until the drives can't read it any more.  Also, checking
+          drive status during operation can prevent some failures (as I
+          [Arno] had to learn the hard way...)
 
-  Why:    This would allow users more control over their Volumes and
-          prevent disk based volumes from consuming too much space.
+  Notes:  First, Bacula could (and even does, to some limited extent)
+          record tape and drive usage.  For tapes, the number of mounts,
+          the amount of data, and the time the tape has actually been
+          running could be recorded.  Data fields for Read and Write
+          time and Number of mounts already exist in the catalog (I'm
+          not sure if VolBytes is the sum of all bytes ever written to
+          that volume by Bacula).  This information can be important
+          when determining which media to replace.  The ability to mark
+          Volumes as "used up" after a given number of write cycles
+          should also be implemented so that a tape is never actually
+          worn out.  For the tape drives known to Bacula, similar
+          information is interesting to determine the device status and
+          expected life time: Time it's been Reading and Writing, number
+          of tape Loads / Unloads / Errors.  This information is not yet
+          recorded as far as I [Arno] know.  A new volume status would
+          be necessary for the new state, like "Used up" or "Worn out".
+          Volumes with this state could be used for restores, but not
+          for writing. These volumes should be migrated first (assuming
+          migration is implemented) and, once they are no longer needed,
+          could be moved to a Trash pool.
 
-  Notes:  The following two directives might do the trick:
+          The next step would be to implement a drive cleaning setup.
+          Bacula already has knowledge about cleaning tapes.  Once it
+          has some information about cleaning cycles (measured in drive
+          run time, number of tapes used, or calender days, for example)
+          it can automatically execute tape cleaning (with an
+          autochanger, obviously) or ask for operator assistance loading
+          a cleaning tape.
 
-          Volume Data Retention = <time period>
-          Remove Volume After = <time period>
+          The final step would be to implement TAPEALERT checks not only
+          when changing tapes and only sending the information to the
+          administrator, but rather checking after each tape error,
+          checking on a regular basis (for example after each tape
+          file), and also before unloading and after loading a new tape.
+          Then, depending on the drives TAPEALERT state and the known
+          drive cleaning state Bacula could automatically schedule later
+          cleaning, clean immediately, or inform the operator.
 
-          The migration project should also remove a Volume that is
-          migrated. This might also work for tape Volumes.
+          Implementing this would perhaps require another catalog change
+          and perhaps major changes in SD code and the DIR-SD protocol,
+          so I'd only consider this worth implementing if it would
+          actually be used or even needed by many people.

+   What:  Currently, Bacula only understands how to deal with weeks of the
+          month or weeks of the year in schedules.  This makes it impossible
+          to do a true weekly rotation of tapes.  There will always be a
+          discontinuity that will require disruptive manual intervention at
+          least monthly or yearly because week boundaries never align with
+          month or year boundaries.

+          A solution would be to add a new syntax that defines (at least)
+          a start timestamp, and repetition period.
 
-  What:   The ability to archive data to storage based on certain parameters
-          such as age, size, or location.  Once the data has been written to
-          storage and logged it is then pruned from the originating
-          filesystem. Note! We are talking about user's files and not
-          Bacula Volumes.
+   Why:   Rotated backups done at weekly intervals are useful, and Bacula
+          cannot currently do them without extensive hacking.
+
+   Notes: Here is an example syntax showing a 3-week rotation where full
+          Backups would be performed every week on Saturday, and an
+          incremental would be performed every week on Tuesday.  Each
+          set of tapes could be removed from the loader for the following
+          two cycles before coming back and being reused on the third
+          week.  Since the execution times are determined by intervals
+          from a given point in time, there will never be any issues with
+          having to adjust to any sort of arbitrary time boundary.  In
+          the example provided, I even define the starting schedule
+          as crossing both a year and a month boundary, but the run times
+          would be based on the "Repeat" value and would therefore happen
+          weekly as desired.

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

-  Status: 
-
-    What: Amanda has a feature whereby it estimates the space that a  
-          differential, incremental, and full backup would take.  If the  
-          difference in space required between the scheduled level and the next  
-          level up is beneath some user-defined critical threshold, the backup  
-          level is bumped to the next type.  Doing this minimizes the number of  
-          volumes necessary during a restore, with a fairly minimal cost in  
-          backup media space.
+  What:   Implement support for the following:
+          - Stacking arbitrary stream filters (eg, encryption, compression,  
+            sparse data handling))
+          - Attaching file sinks to terminate stream filters (ie, write out  
+            the resultant data to a file)
+          - Refactor the restoration state machine accordingly
 
-    Why:  I know at least one (quite sophisticated and smart) user  
-          for whom the absence of this feature is a deal-breaker in terms of  
-          using Bacula; if we had it it would eliminate the one cool thing  
-          Amanda can do and we can't (at least, the one cool thing I know of).
+   Why:   The existing stream implementation suffers from the following:
+           - All state (compression, encryption, stream restoration), is  
+             global across the entire restore process, for all streams. There are  
+             multiple entry and exit points in the restoration state machine, and  
+             thus multiple places where state must be allocated, deallocated,  
+             initialized, or reinitialized. This results in exceptional complexity  
+             for the author of a stream filter.
+           - The developer must enumerate all possible combinations of filters  
+             and stream types (ie, win32 data with encryption, without encryption,  
+             with encryption AND compression, etc).
 
+  Notes:  This feature request only covers implementing the stream filters/ 
+          sinks, and refactoring the file daemon's restoration implementation  
+          accordingly. If I have extra time, I will also rewrite the backup  
+          implementation. My intent in implementing the restoration first is to  
+          solve pressing bugs in the restoration handling, and to ensure that  
+          the new restore implementation handles existing backups correctly.
+
+          I do not plan on changing the network or tape data structures to  
+          support defining arbitrary stream filters, but supporting that  
+          functionality is the ultimate goal.
+
+          Assistance with either code or testing would be fantastic.

+ 
+  What:   While using bconsole interactively, you can specify the client
+          that a backup job is to be restored for, and then you can
+          specify later a different client to send the restored files
+          back to. However, using the 'restore' command with all options
+          on the command line, this cannot be done, due to the ambiguous
+          'client' parameter. Additionally, this parameter means different
+          things depending on if it's specified on the command line or
+          afterwards, in the Modify Job screens.
+ 
+     Why: This feature would enable restore jobs to be more completely
+          automated, for example by a web or GUI front-end.

-  Notes:  It may be helpful to have the output from "stat clients" formatted 
-          more like that from "stat dir" (and other commands), in a column
-          format. The per-client information that's currently shown (level,
-          client name, JobId, Volume, pool, device, Files, etc.) is good, but
-          somewhat hard to parse (both programmatically and visually), 
-          particularly when there are many active clients.
+   What:   XACML is "eXtensible Access Control Markup Language" and  
+          "SAML is the "Security Assertion Markup Language"--an XML standard  
+          for making statements about identity and authorization.  Having these  
+          would give us a framework to approach ACLs in a generic manner, and  
+          in a way flexible enough to support the four major sorts of ACLs I  
+          see as a concern to Bacula at this point, as well as (probably) to  
+          deal with new sorts of ACLs that may appear in the future.
 
+   Why:    Bacula is beginning to need to back up systems with ACLs  
+          that do not map cleanly onto traditional Unix permissions.  I see  
+          four sets of ACLs--in general, mutually incompatible with one  
+          another--that we're going to need to deal with.  These are: NTFS  
+          ACLs, POSIX ACLs, NFSv4 ACLS, and AFS ACLS.  (Some may question the  
+          relevance of AFS; AFS is one of Sine Nomine's core consulting  
+          businesses, and having a reputable file-level backup and restore  
+          technology for it (as Tivoli is probably going to drop AFS support  
+          soon since IBM no longer supports AFS) would be of huge benefit to  
+          our customers; we'd most likely create the AFS support at Sine Nomine  
+          for inclusion into the Bacula (and perhaps some changes to the  
+          OpenAFS volserver) core code.)
 
+          Now, obviously, Bacula already handles NTFS just fine.  However, I  
+          think there's a lot of value in implementing a generic ACL model, so  
+          that it's easy to support whatever particular instances of ACLs come  
+          down the pike: POSIX ACLS (think SELinux) and NFSv4 are the obvious  
+          things arriving in the Linux world in a big way in the near future.   
+          XACML, although overcomplicated for our needs, provides this  
+          framework, and we should be able to leverage other people's  
+          implementations to minimize the amount of work *we* have to do to get  
+          a generic ACL framework.  Basically, the costs of implementation are  
+          high, but they're largely both external to Bacula and already sunk.

+  Date:   31 August 2006
+  Origin: Jesper Krogh <jesper@krogh.cc>
+  Status: Unimplemented, depends probably on "client initiated backups"
 
-   What:  In the "Messages" resource definitions, allowing messages
-          to be mailed based on the type (backup, restore, etc.) and level
-          (full, differential, etc) of job that created the originating
-          message(s).
+  What:   With inotify and similar filesystem triggeret notification
+          systems is it possible to have the file-daemon to monitor
+          filesystem changes and initiate backup.
 
- Why:     It would, for example, allow someone's boss to be emailed
-          automatically only when a Full Backup job runs, so he can
-          retrieve the tapes for offsite storage, even if the IT dept.
-          doesn't (or can't) explicitly notify him.  At the same time, his
-          mailbox wouldnt be filled by notifications of Verifies, Restores,
-          or Incremental/Differential Backups (which would likely be kept
-          onsite).
+  Why:    There are 2 situations where this is nice to have.
+          1) It is possible to get a much finer-grained backup than
+             the fixed schedules used now.. A file created and deleted
+             a few hours later, can automatically be caught.
 
- Notes:   One way this could be done is through additional message types, for example:
+          2) The introduced load on the system will probably be
+             distributed more even on the system.
 
-   Messages {
-     # email the boss only on full system backups
-     Mail = boss@mycompany.com = full, !incremental, !differential, !restore, 
-            !verify, !admin
-     # email us only when something breaks
-     MailOnError = itdept@mycompany.com = all
-   }
+  Notes:  This can be combined with configration that specifies
+          something like: "at most every 15 minutes or when changes
+          consumed XX MB".
 
+Kern Notes: I would rather see this implemented by an external program
+          that monitors the Filesystem changes, then uses the console
+          to start the appropriate job.

   Status:
+  What:   Resizeable and scrollable windows in the tray monitor.
 
-   What:  Currently, Bacula only understands how to deal with weeks of the
-          month or weeks of the year in schedules.  This makes it impossible
-          to do a true weekly rotation of tapes.  There will always be a
-          discontinuity that will require disruptive manual intervention at
-          least monthly or yearly because week boundaries never align with
-          month or year boundaries.
+  Why:    With multiple clients, or with many jobs running, the displayed
+          window often ends up larger than the available screen, making
+          the trailing items difficult to read.
 
-          A solution would be to add a new syntax that defines (at least)
-          a start timestamp, and repetition period.
 
-   Why:   Rotated backups done at weekly intervals are useful, and Bacula
-          cannot currently do them without extensive hacking.
+Item 31:  Implement multiple numeric backup levels as supported by dump
+Date:     3 April 2006
+Origin:   Daniel Rich <drich@employees.org>
+Status:
+What:     Dump allows specification of backup levels numerically instead of just
+          "full", "incr", and "diff".  In this system, at any given level, all
+          files are backed up that were were modified since the last backup of a
+          higher level (with 0 being the highest and 9 being the lowest).  A
+          level 0 is therefore equivalent to a full, level 9 an incremental, and
+          the levels 1 through 8 are varying levels of differentials.  For
+          bacula's sake, these could be represented as "full", "incr", and
+          "diff1", "diff2", etc.
 
-   Notes: Here is an example syntax showing a 3-week rotation where full
-          Backups would be performed every week on Saturday, and an
-          incremental would be performed every week on Tuesday.  Each
-          set of tapes could be removed from the loader for the following
-          two cycles before coming back and being reused on the third
-          week.  Since the execution times are determined by intervals
-          from a given point in time, there will never be any issues with
-          having to adjust to any sort of arbitrary time boundary.  In
-          the example provided, I even define the starting schedule
-          as crossing both a year and a month boundary, but the run times
-          would be based on the "Repeat" value and would therefore happen
-          weekly as desired.
+Why:      Support of multiple backup levels would provide for more advanced backup
+          rotation schemes such as "Towers of Hanoi".  This would allow better
+          flexibility in performing backups, and can lead to shorter recover
+          times.
 
+Notes:    Legato Networker supports a similar system with full, incr, and 1-9 as
+          levels.

-Item 25:  Improve Bacula's tape and drive usage and cleaning management.
-  Date:   8 November 2005, November 11, 2005
-  Origin: Adam Thornton <athornton at sinenomine dot net>,
-          Arno Lehmann <al at its-lehmann dot de>
-  Status:
-
-  What:   Make Bacula manage tape life cycle information, tape reuse
-          times and drive cleaning cycles.
-
-  Why:    All three parts of this project are important when operating
-          backups.
-          We need to know which tapes need replacement, and we need to
-          make sure the drives are cleaned when necessary.  While many
-          tape libraries and even autoloaders can handle all this
-          automatically, support by Bacula can be helpful for smaller
-          (older) libraries and single drives.  Limiting the number of
-          times a tape is used might prevent tape errors when using
-          tapes until the drives can't read it any more.  Also, checking
-          drive status during operation can prevent some failures (as I
-          [Arno] had to learn the hard way...)
-
-  Notes:  First, Bacula could (and even does, to some limited extent)
-          record tape and drive usage.  For tapes, the number of mounts,
-          the amount of data, and the time the tape has actually been
-          running could be recorded.  Data fields for Read and Write
-          time and Number of mounts already exist in the catalog (I'm
-          not sure if VolBytes is the sum of all bytes ever written to
-          that volume by Bacula).  This information can be important
-          when determining which media to replace.  The ability to mark
-          Volumes as "used up" after a given number of write cycles
-          should also be implemented so that a tape is never actually
-          worn out.  For the tape drives known to Bacula, similar
-          information is interesting to determine the device status and
-          expected life time: Time it's been Reading and Writing, number
-          of tape Loads / Unloads / Errors.  This information is not yet
-          recorded as far as I [Arno] know.  A new volume status would
-          be necessary for the new state, like "Used up" or "Worn out".
-          Volumes with this state could be used for restores, but not
-          for writing. These volumes should be migrated first (assuming
-          migration is implemented) and, once they are no longer needed,
-          could be moved to a Trash pool.
-
-          The next step would be to implement a drive cleaning setup.
-          Bacula already has knowledge about cleaning tapes.  Once it
-          has some information about cleaning cycles (measured in drive
-          run time, number of tapes used, or calender days, for example)
-          it can automatically execute tape cleaning (with an
-          autochanger, obviously) or ask for operator assistance loading
-          a cleaning tape.
-
-          The final step would be to implement TAPEALERT checks not only
-          when changing tapes and only sending the information to the
-          administrator, but rather checking after each tape error,
-          checking on a regular basis (for example after each tape
-          file), and also before unloading and after loading a new tape.
-          Then, depending on the drives TAPEALERT state and the known
-          drive cleaning state Bacula could automatically schedule later
-          cleaning, clean immediately, or inform the operator.
-
-          Implementing this would perhaps require another catalog change
-          and perhaps major changes in SD code and the DIR-SD protocol,
-          so I'd only consider this worth implementing if it would
-          actually be used or even needed by many people.
-
-          Implementation of these projects could happen in three distinct
-          sub-projects: Measuring Tape and Drive usage, retiring
-          volumes, and handling drive cleaning and TAPEALERTs.

-Item 26:  Implement support for stacking arbitrary stream filters, sinks.
-Date:     23 November 2006
-Origin:   Landon Fuller <landonf@threerings.net>
-Status:   Planning. Assigned to landonf.
-
-  What:   Implement support for the following:
-          - Stacking arbitrary stream filters (eg, encryption, compression,  
-            sparse data handling))
-          - Attaching file sinks to terminate stream filters (ie, write out  
-            the resultant data to a file)
-          - Refactor the restoration state machine accordingly
-
-   Why:   The existing stream implementation suffers from the following:
-           - All state (compression, encryption, stream restoration), is  
-             global across the entire restore process, for all streams. There are  
-             multiple entry and exit points in the restoration state machine, and  
-             thus multiple places where state must be allocated, deallocated,  
-             initialized, or reinitialized. This results in exceptional complexity  
-             for the author of a stream filter.
-           - The developer must enumerate all possible combinations of filters  
-             and stream types (ie, win32 data with encryption, without encryption,  
-             with encryption AND compression, etc).
-
-  Notes:  This feature request only covers implementing the stream filters/ 
-          sinks, and refactoring the file daemon's restoration implementation  
-          accordingly. If I have extra time, I will also rewrite the backup  
-          implementation. My intent in implementing the restoration first is to  
-          solve pressing bugs in the restoration handling, and to ensure that  
-          the new restore implementation handles existing backups correctly.
-
-          I do not plan on changing the network or tape data structures to  
-          support defining arbitrary stream filters, but supporting that  
-          functionality is the ultimate goal.
-
-          Assistance with either code or testing would be fantastic.

-
-  Why:    This would save lots of space when backing up large files such as 
-          logs, mbox files, Outlook PST files and the like.
-

-Item 29:  Automatic disabling of devices
-   Date:  2005-11-11
-  Origin: Peter Eriksson <peter at ifm.liu dot se>
-  Status:
-
-   What:  After a configurable amount of fatal errors with a tape drive
-          Bacula should automatically disable further use of a certain
-          tape drive. There should also be "disable"/"enable" commands in
-          the "bconsole" tool.
-
-   Why:   On a multi-drive jukebox there is a possibility of tape drives
-          going bad during large backups (needing a cleaning tape run,
-          tapes getting stuck). It would be advantageous if Bacula would
-          automatically disable further use of a problematic tape drive
-          after a configurable amount of errors has occurred.
-
-          An example: I have a multi-drive jukebox (6 drives, 380+ slots)
-          where tapes occasionally get stuck inside the drive. Bacula will
-          notice that the "mtx-changer" command will fail and then fail
-          any backup jobs trying to use that drive. However, it will still
-          keep on trying to run new jobs using that drive and fail -
-          forever, and thus failing lots and lots of jobs... Since we have
-          many drives Bacula could have just automatically disabled
-          further use of that drive and used one of the other ones
-          instead.

-          see as a concern to Bacula at this point, as well as (probably) to  
-          deal with new sorts of ACLs that may appear in the future.
-
-   Why:    Bacula is beginning to need to back up systems with ACLs  
-          that do not map cleanly onto traditional Unix permissions.  I see  
-          four sets of ACLs--in general, mutually incompatible with one  
-          another--that we're going to need to deal with.  These are: NTFS  
-          ACLs, POSIX ACLs, NFSv4 ACLS, and AFS ACLS.  (Some may question the  
-          relevance of AFS; AFS is one of Sine Nomine's core consulting  
-          businesses, and having a reputable file-level backup and restore  
-          technology for it (as Tivoli is probably going to drop AFS support  
-          soon since IBM no longer supports AFS) would be of huge benefit to  
-          our customers; we'd most likely create the AFS support at Sine Nomine  
-          for inclusion into the Bacula (and perhaps some changes to the  
-          OpenAFS volserver) core code.)
-
-          Now, obviously, Bacula already handles NTFS just fine.  However, I  
-          think there's a lot of value in implementing a generic ACL model, so  
-          that it's easy to support whatever particular instances of ACLs come  
-          down the pike: POSIX ACLS (think SELinux) and NFSv4 are the obvious  
-          things arriving in the Linux world in a big way in the near future.   
-          XACML, although overcomplicated for our needs, provides this  
-          framework, and we should be able to leverage other people's  
-          implementations to minimize the amount of work *we* have to do to get  
-          a generic ACL framework.  Basically, the costs of implementation are  
-          high, but they're largely both external to Bacula and already sunk.
+    What: Amanda has a feature whereby it estimates the space that a  
+          differential, incremental, and full backup would take.  If the  
+          difference in space required between the scheduled level and the next  
+          level up is beneath some user-defined critical threshold, the backup  
+          level is bumped to the next type.  Doing this minimizes the number of  
+          volumes necessary during a restore, with a fairly minimal cost in  
+          backup media space.
 
+    Why:  I know at least one (quite sophisticated and smart) user  
+          for whom the absence of this feature is a deal-breaker in terms of  
+          using Bacula; if we had it it would eliminate the one cool thing  
+          Amanda can do and we can't (at least, the one cool thing I know of).

-          for dead filing (archiving not backing up)
-
-    Why:  At my works when jobs are finished and moved off of the main file
-          servers (raid based systems) onto a simple linux file server (ide based
-          system) so users can find old information without contacting the IT
-          dept.
-
-          So this data dosn't realy change it only gets added to,
-          But it also needs backing up.  At the moment it takes
-          about 8 hours to back up our servers (working data) so
-          rather than add more time to existing backups i am trying
-          to implement a system where we backup the acrhive data to

-Item 34:  Filesystem watch triggered backup.
-  Date:   31 August 2006
-  Origin: Jesper Krogh <jesper@krogh.cc>
-  Status: Unimplemented, depends probably on "client initiated backups"
-
-  What:   With inotify and similar filesystem triggeret notification
-          systems is it possible to have the file-daemon to monitor
-          filesystem changes and initiate backup.
-
-  Why:    There are 2 situations where this is nice to have.
-          1) It is possible to get a much finer-grained backup than
-             the fixed schedules used now.. A file created and deleted
-             a few hours later, can automatically be caught.
-
-          2) The introduced load on the system will probably be
-             distributed more even on the system.
-
-  Notes:  This can be combined with configration that specifies
-          something like: "at most every 15 minutes or when changes
-          consumed XX MB".
-
-Kern Notes: I would rather see this implemented by an external program
-          that monitors the Filesystem changes, then uses the console
-          to start the appropriate job.

-Item 35:  Implement multiple numeric backup levels as supported by dump
-Date:     3 April 2006
-Origin:   Daniel Rich <drich@employees.org>
-Status:
-What:     Dump allows specification of backup levels numerically instead of just
-          "full", "incr", and "diff".  In this system, at any given level, all
-          files are backed up that were were modified since the last backup of a
-          higher level (with 0 being the highest and 9 being the lowest).  A
-          level 0 is therefore equivalent to a full, level 9 an incremental, and
-          the levels 1 through 8 are varying levels of differentials.  For
-          bacula's sake, these could be represented as "full", "incr", and
-          "diff1", "diff2", etc.
-
-Why:      Support of multiple backup levels would provide for more advanced backup
-          rotation schemes such as "Towers of Hanoi".  This would allow better
-          flexibility in performing backups, and can lead to shorter recover
-          times.
-
-Notes:    Legato Networker supports a similar system with full, incr, and 1-9 as
-          levels.

-Item 36:  Implement a server-side compression feature
-  Date:   18 December 2006
-  Origin: Vadim A. Umanski , e-mail umanski@ext.ru
-  Status:
-  What:   The ability to compress backup data on server receiving data
-          instead of doing that on client sending data.
-  Why:    The need is practical. I've got some machines that can send
-          data to the network 4 or 5 times faster than compressing
-          them (I've measured that). They're using fast enough SCSI/FC
-          disk subsystems but rather slow CPUs (ex. UltraSPARC II).
-          And the backup server has got a quite fast CPUs (ex. Dual P4
-          Xeons) and quite a low load. When you have 20, 50 or 100 GB
-          of raw data - running a job 4 to 5 times faster - that
-          really matters. On the other hand, the data can be
-          compressed 50% or better - so losing twice more space for
-          disk backup is not good at all. And the network is all mine
-          (I have a dedicated management/provisioning network) and I
-          can get as high bandwidth as I need - 100Mbps, 1000Mbps...
-          That's why the server-side compression feature is needed!

-Item 37:  Cause daemons to use a specific IP address to source communications
- Origin:  Bill Moran <wmoran@collaborativefusion.com>
- Date:    18 Dec 2006
- Status:
- What:    Cause Bacula daemons (dir, fd, sd) to always use the ip address
-          specified in the [DIR|DF|SD]Addr directive as the source IP
-          for initiating communication.
- Why:     On complex networks, as well as extremely secure networks, it's
-          not unusual to have multiple possible routes through the network.
-          Often, each of these routes is secured by different policies
-          (effectively, firewalls allow or deny different traffic depending
-          on the source address)
-          Unfortunately, it can sometimes be difficult or impossible to
-          represent this in a system routing table, as the result is
-          excessive subnetting that quickly exhausts available IP space.
-          The best available workaround is to provide multiple IPs to
-          a single machine that are all on the same subnet.  In order
-          for this to work properly, applications must support the ability
-          to bind outgoing connections to a specified address, otherwise
-          the operating system will always choose the first IP that
-          matches the required route.
- Notes:   Many other programs support this.  For example, the following
-          can be configured in BIND:
-          query-source address 10.0.0.1;
-          transfer-source 10.0.0.2;
-          Which means queries from this server will always come from
-          10.0.0.1 and zone transfers will always originate from
-          10.0.0.2.

+Item 35:  Automatic disabling of devices
+   Date:  2005-11-11
+  Origin: Peter Eriksson <peter at ifm.liu dot se>
   Status:
 
-  What:   I want the file daemon to start multiple threads for a backup
-          job so the fastest possible backup can be made.
-
-          The file daemon could parse the FileSet information and start
-          one thread for each File entry located on a separate
-          filesystem.
-
-          A confiuration option in the job section should be used to
-          enable or disable this feature. The confgutration option could
-          specify the maximum number of threads in the file daemon.
+   What:  After a configurable amount of fatal errors with a tape drive
+          Bacula should automatically disable further use of a certain
+          tape drive. There should also be "disable"/"enable" commands in
+          the "bconsole" tool.
 
-          If the theads could spool the data to separate spool files
-          the restore process will not be much slower.
+   Why:   On a multi-drive jukebox there is a possibility of tape drives
+          going bad during large backups (needing a cleaning tape run,
+          tapes getting stuck). It would be advantageous if Bacula would
+          automatically disable further use of a problematic tape drive
+          after a configurable amount of errors has occurred.
 
-  Why:    Multiple concurrent backups of a large fileserver with many
-          disks and controllers will be much faster.
+          An example: I have a multi-drive jukebox (6 drives, 380+ slots)
+          where tapes occasionally get stuck inside the drive. Bacula will
+          notice that the "mtx-changer" command will fail and then fail
+          any backup jobs trying to use that drive. However, it will still
+          keep on trying to run new jobs using that drive and fail -
+          forever, and thus failing lots and lots of jobs... Since we have
+          many drives Bacula could have just automatically disabled
+          further use of that drive and used one of the other ones
+          instead.

   Status:
 
-  What:   The goal of this project is to be able to restore only rights
-          and attributes of files without crushing them.
-
-  Why:    Who have never had to repair a chmod -R 777, or a wild update
-          of recursive right under Windows? At this time, you must have
-          enough space to restore data, dump attributes (easy with acl,
-          more complex with unix/windows rights) and apply them to your 
-          broken tree. With this options, it will be very easy to compare
-          right or ACL over the time.
+   What:  When I do update -> Volume parameters -> All Volumes
+          from Pool, then I have to select pools one by one.  I'd like
+          console to have an option like "0: All Pools" in the list of
+          defined pools.
 
-  Notes:  If the file is here, we skip restore and we change rights.
-          If the file isn't here, we can create an empty one and apply
-          rights or do nothing.
+   Why:   I have many pools and therefore unhappy with manually

+          message(s).
+
+ Why:     It would, for example, allow someone's boss to be emailed
