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. +;;; +Kern;;;2007/9/14;;;14:30 +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: + + http://www.bacula.org/downloads/bug-935.txt + +;;; + +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.

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.

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). + +;;; + +Kern;;;2007/3/6;;;14:30 + +Bacula Version 2.0.3 has been released to Source Forge. +This is a bug fix release to version 2.0.2.

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 + /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.

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: + + http://www.bacula.org/downloads/bug-935.txt + +;;; + +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.

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 + /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 /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=. 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 +- 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.

+ Bug Reporting +
+ Before reporting a bug, please be sure it is a bug and + not a request for support (see the Support tab to + the left). +

+ Bacula now has a Mantis bug reporting system + implemented by Dan Langille and hosted on his computer. It is web based, + easy to use, and we recommend you give it a try. You can submit a bug + or review the list of open or closed bugs by visiting: + +

+ http://bugs.bacula.org +

+ +To view the bug reports, you can login as user anonymous and +password anonymous. The advantage of actually being subscribed +is that you will be notified by email of any serious bugs and their +resolution. + +To submit bug reports, you must create an account. You must also use a +browser running a US ASCII code page or UTF-8. Some users running Win32 +IE with Windows Eastern European code pages have experienced problems +interfacing with the system. + +

+Most Bacula problems are questions of support, so if you are not +sure if a problem you are having is a bug, see the support page +on this site for links to the email lists. However, once you have +determined that a problem is a bug, you must either submit a bug +report to the bugs database or send an email to the bacula-devel +list, otherwise it is possible that the developers will never know +about your bug and thus it will not get fixed. + +You should expect two things to be slightly different in our Bugs +handling than many other Open Source projects. First, we unfortunately +cannot give support or handle feature requests via the bugs database, +and second, we close bugs very quickly to avoid being overwhelmed. +Please don't take this personally. If you want to add a note to the bug +report after it is closed, you can do so by reopening the bug, adding a +bug note, then closing the bug report again, or for really simple +matters, you can send an email to the bacula-devel email list. If a +developer closes a bug report and after everything considered, you are +convinced there really *is* a bug and you have new information, you can +always reopen the bug report. + +

Information Needed in a Bug Report

+For us to respond to a bug report, we normally need the following +as the minimum information, which you should enter into the appropriate +fields of the bug reporting system: +
    +
  • Your operating system
  • +
  • The version of Bacula you are using
  • +
  • A clear and concise description of the problem
  • +
  • If you say "it crashes", "it doesn't work" or something + similar, you should include some output from Bacula that shows this.
  • +
+If you are having tape problems, please include: +
    +
  • The kind of tape drive you have
  • +
  • Have you run the btape "test" command?
  • + +
+The first two of these items can be fulfilled by sending us a copy of +your config.out file, which is in the main Bacula source +directory after you have done your ./configure. + +

In addition, we will sometimes need a copy of your Bacula +configuration files (especially bacula-dir.conf). If you think it is a +configuration problem, please don't hesitate to send them if +necessary.

+ Please read that little Bug-Report-HowTo as well. +

Feature Requests
+ +In the past, users informally submitted feature requests by email, and +I (Kern) collected them, then once a version was released, I would publish the +list for users to vote on. +

+Now that Bacula has become a bigger project, this process has been +formalized a bit more. The main change is for users +to carefully think about their feature, and submit it on a feature +request form. A mostly empty form is shown below along with an +example of an actual filled in form. A text copy of the form can +be found in the projects file in the main source directory +of the Bacula release. That file also contains a list of all the +currently approved projects and their status. +

+The best time to submit a Feature Request is just after a release when +I officially request feature requests for the next version. The worst +time to submit a feature request is just prior to a new release (we are +very busy at that time). To actually submit the Feature request, +fill out the form, and submit it to both the bacula-users and +the bacula-devel email lists. It will then be openly discussed. +

+Once the Feature Request has beeen adequately discussed, I will +either reject it, approve it, or possibly request some +modifications. If you plan to implement the feature or donate +funds to have it implemented, this is important to note, +otherwise, the feature, even if approved, may wait a long time +for someone to implement it. +

+Once the Feature request is approved, I'll add it to the projects +file, which contains a list of all open Feature Requests. The projects +file is updated from time to time +

+The current (though possibly somewhat old) list of projects can also +be found on the Web site by clicking on the Projects menu item. + + +

Feature Request Form

+
+Item n:   One line summary ...
+  Origin: Name and email of originator.
+  Date:   Date submitted (e.g. 28 October 2005)
+  Status:
+

+
+  Why:    Why it is important ...

An Example Feature Request

+
+Item 1:   Implement a Migration job type that will move the job
+          data from one device to another.
+  Date:   28 October 2005
+  Origin: Sponsored by Riege Sofware International GmbH. Contact:
+          Daniel Holtkamp 
+  Status: Partially coded in 1.37 -- much more to do. Assigned to
+          Kern.
+
+  What:   The ability to copy, move, or archive data that is on a
+          device to another device is very important.
+
+  Why:    An ISP might want to backup to disk, but after 30 days
+          migrate the data to tape backup and delete it from
+          disk.  Bacula should be able to handle this
+          automatically.  It needs to know what was put where,
+          and when, and what to migrate -- it is a bit like
+          retention periods.  Doing so would allow space to be
+          freed up for current backups while maintaining older
+          data on tape drives.
+
+  Notes:  Migration could be triggered by:
+           Number of Jobs
+           Number of Volumes
+           Age of Jobs
+           Highwater size (keep total size)
+           Lowwater mark

+ Serious Bug - All users should read + the news item regarding a serious bug found in version 2.2.4 and + fixed with a patch the 29th of Sept 2007. The patch is in all + subsequent releases. Please subscribe to the + announce mailing list to be kept informed.
+ +
+ In technical terms, it is a network based backup program.
+ +
+ Bacula is relatively easy to use and efficient, while + offering many advanced storage management features that make + it easy to find and recover lost or damaged files.
+ +
+ Most of the Bacula source code is released under the + GPL version 2 license. If you wish additional + details, please follow the License link to your left.
+ +
The Documentation link takes you to a page where you + can access all the available Bacula documentation (HTML, + PDF, and TGZ) both for the officially released version + and for the current code under development in the Source + Forge SVN. The development version of the manual typically has + more documentation, but may also document new features that are + not in the released version. The Developer's Guide + presents important information for users who want to + contribute to the Bacula project.
+ +
Bacula is Hosted on + SourceForge at + http://sourceforge.net/projects/bacula where you can + download the software.

You may also use + the links on the left side of this page for more + information. In particular, Current Files link takes + you to the currently available downloads, and the All + Downloads link takes you to a list of all files ever + released to SourceForge. +

+ Email Lists +
+ +Bacula has a number of email lists which are described below with +links to subscribe, unsubscribe, or modify your account. +For general information subscribing to or unsubscribing from these lists, please see +Bacula Mailing Lists at SourceForge. +

For email archives see the bottom of this page.

+ +Source Forge has rather strict email requirements in order to +try to minimize the large quantity of spam that the lists receive every day. +These are mesures that they have implemented, and over which we have no +control. +

+If you are having problems subscribing or sending email to a Bacula list, +please, read the following: +SourceForge.net: Email Problems: Spam, Bounces, Unreceived Messages, then +if you are still having problems send a support request to Source Forge. +Source Forge requires the person affected submit his/her own support request; +the Bacula project is not permitted to do so on your behalf. +

+One item they do not mention in the above referenced document is grey listing. +If you are using grey listing, you are likely to have problems with the Source +Forge email lists. The solution is to whitelist their sending IPs. You might +want to whitelist their whole zone (66.35.250.0/24) as I (Kern) have done, but +if you are more conservative, I found only two of their IPs were sending email +(66.35.250.225 and 66.35.250.206). If you grey list individual Source Forge +IP addresses, please be sure to check your logs to verify the addresses they +use for you. + +

+ Contributing to the Bacula Project +
+ Although one talks about Free Software, in fact, Open Software such + as Bacula was not developed without some cost. The software + may be free for the user, but it wasn't free for the developer + or developers, either in terms of time or in terms of financial + cost. + + For example, since beginning work on the Bacula project in + January 2000 until now (August 2006), I (Kern) have spent + approximately $8000 per year for computers, tape drives, + communications expenses, electricity, software licenses, and + other expenses. I am not complaining and am pleased to have + been able to afford these expenditures. In addition, have no + desire to have my past expenses reimbursed. + + Bacula is now a fairly mature product, and to ensure its long + term survival, I believe it is time that Bacula begins to + stand on its own, both financially and for the development, + which is why we began accepting donations or project support + in November 2005. +

+ There are ways you can contribute to the Bacula + project, some of which are: ideas, user support, + documentation review, translation, programming and + contributing code, testing the new releases, hosting + services, testing machines, donating needed equipment, and + financial support. + + Previously all but the last one (financial support) were possible. + It is now possible for you to contribute financial aid + the Bacula project. All funds collected will be used to help + further the Bacula project by covering out of pocket expenses + incurred by the project (no salaries). Examples are, administrative + fees, hardware, software licenses (yes Micro$oft), and possibly a + portion of travel/conference expenses. + +

+ Contributions may not be US tax deductible as Bacula is + based in Switzerland. +

+ If you are a government or for-profit corporation and cannot + make "donations", please consider paying a (non-obligatory) + binary license fee for any Bacula built binaries that you download. + By making these pre-built, pre-tested binaries available, we are + providing users who download them with an extra service, which merits + careful consideration for making a contribution or paying a + "license fee". +

+ If you are a corporation and cannot make donations and don't want + to pay a binary license fee, you can request an invoice for + Bacula Project development. Please see below for how to do this. + +

+ To make a contribution, please click on the donate button at + the top of the screen, and your transaction will be secured + and confirmed directly by PayPal. If you contribute, or have + any questions, please send me an email directly: kern at + sibbald dot com. + +

+ If you need an invoice, I can send you one, but in order to limit my + administrative work, I kindly request you to make a donation of at least + $200 before requesting an invoice. To obtain one, simply email me the exact + name to appear on the invoice as well as the mailing address, the amount + you want to contribute, and the project you are supporting (or simply + Bacula development). + +

+ The Bacula web site has a "Donations Received" page where + you can have your company name, your name, and the amount (or any + combination of those) listed. You must explicitly request to be listed. + Do so by sending an email to: kern at sibbald dot com after you have + made the payment. + +

Although there is one link to our ISP, who we thank for providing the + hosting service, we do not provide any links to other sites other than + on the Professional page. + +

+
+Item  1:  Accurate restoration of renamed/deleted files
+  Date:   28 November 2005
+  Origin: Martin Simmons (martin at lispworks dot com)
+  Status: Robert Nelson will implement this
+
+  What:   When restoring a fileset for a specified date (including "most
+          recent"), Bacula should give you exactly the files and directories
+          that existed at the time of the last backup prior to that date.
+
+          Currently this only works if the last backup was a Full backup.
+          When the last backup was Incremental/Differential, files and
+          directories that have been renamed or deleted since the last Full
+          backup are not currently restored correctly.  Ditto for files with
+          extra/fewer hard links than at the time of the last Full backup.
+
+  Why:    Incremental/Differential would be much more useful if this worked.
+
+  Notes:  Merging of multiple backups into a single one seems to
+          rely on this working, otherwise the merged backups will not be
+          truly equivalent to a Full backup.  
+
+          Kern: notes shortened. This can be done without the need for 
+          inodes. It is essentially the same as the current Verify job,
+          but one additional database record must be written, which does 
+          not need any database change.
+
+          Kern: see if we can correct restoration of directories if
+          replace=ifnewer is set.  Currently, if the directory does not
+          exist, a "dummy" directory is created, then when all the files
+          are updated, the dummy directory is newer so the real values
+          are not updated.
+
+Item  2:  Implement a Bacula GUI/management tool.
+  Origin: Kern
+  Date:   28 October 2005
+  Status: In progress
+
+  What:   Implement a Bacula console, and management tools
+          probably using Qt3 and C++.
+
+  Why:    Don't we already have a wxWidgets GUI?  Yes, but
+          it is written in C++ and changes to the user interface
+          must be hand tailored using C++ code. By developing
+          the user interface using Qt designer, the interface
+          can be very easily updated and most of the new Python       
+          code will be automatically created.  The user interface
+          changes become very simple, and only the new features
+          must be implement.  In addition, the code will be in
+          Python, which will give many more users easy (or easier)
+          access to making additions or modifications.
+
+ Notes:   There is a partial Python-GTK implementation
+          Lucas Di Pentima  but
+          it is no longer being developed.
+
+Item  3:  Allow FD to initiate a backup
+  Origin: Frank Volf (frank at deze dot org)
+  Date:   17 November 2005
+  Status:
+
+   What:  Provide some means, possibly by a restricted console that
+          allows a FD to initiate a backup, and that uses the connection
+          established by the FD to the Director for the backup so that
+          a Director that is firewalled can do the backup.
+
+   Why:   Makes backup of laptops much easier.
+
+
+Item  4:  Merge multiple backups (Synthetic Backup or Consolidation).
+  Origin: Marc Cousin and Eric Bollengier 
+  Date:   15 November 2005
+  Status: Waiting implementation. Depends on first implementing 
+          project Item 2 (Migration) which is now done.
+
+  What:   A merged backup is a backup made without connecting to the Client.
+          It would be a Merge of existing backups into a single backup.
+          In effect, it is like a restore but to the backup medium.
+
+          For instance, say that last Sunday we made a full backup.  Then
+          all week long, we created incremental backups, in order to do
+          them fast.  Now comes Sunday again, and we need another full.
+          The merged backup makes it possible to do instead an incremental
+          backup (during the night for instance), and then create a merged
+          backup during the day, by using the full and incrementals from
+          the week.  The merged backup will be exactly like a full made
+          Sunday night on the tape, but the production interruption on the
+          Client will be minimal, as the Client will only have to send
+          incrementals.
+
+          In fact, if it's done correctly, you could merge all the
+          Incrementals into single Incremental, or all the Incrementals
+          and the last Differential into a new Differential, or the Full,
+          last differential and all the Incrementals into a new Full
+          backup.  And there is no need to involve the Client.
+
+  Why:    The benefit is that :
+          - the Client just does an incremental ;
+          - the merged backup on tape is just as a single full backup,
+            and can be restored very fast.
+
+          This is also a way of reducing the backup data since the old
+          data can then be pruned (or not) from the catalog, possibly
+          allowing older volumes to be recycled
+
+Item  5:  Deletion of Disk-Based Bacula Volumes
+  Date:   Nov 25, 2005
+  Origin: Ross Boylan  (edited
+          by Kern)
+  Status:         
+
+   What:  Provide a way for Bacula to automatically remove Volumes
+          from the filesystem, or optionally to truncate them.
+          Obviously, the Volume must be pruned prior removal.
+
+  Why:    This would allow users more control over their Volumes and
+          prevent disk based volumes from consuming too much space.
+
+  Notes:  The following two directives might do the trick:
+
+          Volume Data Retention =

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

Support for Bacula
+ + Please keep in mind that we are not getting paid for this. + Nevertheless, our desire is to see as many people using + Bacula as possible. So we are very willing to + provide a reasonable level of email support. + +

Before asking for help, it could be useful to check against the + email archive as often solution to your problem has been discussed + or a patch has been released. Please see: + + http://news.gmane.org/search.php?match=bacula. + + Also, if you are using Bacula in production, we highly recommend + subscribing to the bugs database at: + http://bugs.bacula.org to keep informed of problems and + patches. + +

For support, send an email to + bacula-users at lists.sourceforge.net, and if you are + specific enough, some kind Bacula user will help you. Please + note that if you don't at least specify what version of Bacula + and what platform you are using, it will not be easy to get a + valid answer. The email address noted above + was modified to prevent easy use by spammers. + To use it, you must replace the at with an @ symbol. Due + to the increasing volumes of spam on the list, you must + be subscribed to it to be able to send and email to it. The + link to your left entitled Email Lists provides links + to where you can subscribe to each of the Bacula email lists. + + The users constantly monitor this list and will generally provide + support. Please see Information Needed below for what to + include in your support request. If you don't supply the necessary + information, it will take longer to respond to your request, and + users may be afraid to try to respond, + if your request is too complicated or not well formulated. + + +

I (Kern) get a number of "off-list" emails sent + directly to me. Unfortunately, I am no longer able to provide + direct user support. However, I do read all the email sent and + occasionally provide a tip or two. If you do send email to me, + please always copy the appropriate list, if you + do not copy the list, I may not answer you, or I will answer by copying + the list. If you really have something confidential, + please clearly indicate it.

+ +

If you send a bug report or minor enhancement request because of a + problem to the bacula-devel list, and you do not provide the information + requested below, particularly the Bacula version, it is very + frustrating for us, because it is quite often the case that your problem is + version dependent, and likely already fixed. In such case, we will note + the problem, but you will be unlikely to get a response, especially if we + are busy, because it forces us to first ask you what version you are using + (or other information), then deal with your response, thus doubling the + time for us. If we do ask you for information, please include all + the previous correspondence in each email, otherwise you force us to search + the archives to find what you previously wrote. In short, if you want a + response, please see "Information Needed" below. + +

If you are looking for live-support you might check out our irc-channel + in the Freenode net, called #bacula. + +

Information Needed

+For us to respond to a bug report, we normally need the following +as the minimum information, which you can enter into the appropriate +fields of the bug reporting system: +
    +
  • Your operating system
  • +
  • The version of Bacula you are using
  • +
  • A clear and concise description of the problem
  • +
  • If you say "it crashes", "it doesn't work" or something + similar, you should include some output from Bacula that shows this.
  • +
  • If we respond to your email, and you answer, possibly supplying more + information, please be sure to include the full text of previous + emails so that we have all the information in one place.
  • +
+If you are having tape problems, please include: +
    +
  • The kind of tape drive you have
  • +
  • Have you run the btape "test" command?
  • +
+ +If you are having database problems, please include: +
    +
  • The database you are using: MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite, SQLite3
  • +

+ +The first two of these items can be fulfilled by sending +us a copy of your config.out file, which is in the +main Bacula source directory after you have done +your ./configure. +

In addition, we will sometimes need a copy of your Bacula +configuration files (especially bacula-dir.conf). If you +think it is a configuration problem, please don't hesitate +to send them if necessary.

Norm Dressler - 2004/06/15

+ Bacula has been awesome for us. We used to use Ar**** but I + have always hated the interface. And the cost was outrageous. + Then I found bacula and wow! Everything in Ar**** and then + some! The console is easy to use, easy to understand once you + get the hang of it, and I usually don't have any problems + restoring files! :) +
+ I have 15+ machines I backup with Bacula + with an autoloader, and I'm extremely happy with the product. + Whenever someone asks me about what to use, I point them at + Bacula. +

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

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

Jeff Richards - 2006/08/26

+ I used Bacula at my previous employer to backup: Linux, OpenBSD, Windows 2000,XP,2003, and AIX 5.1 +

+ Bacula provided a solution when I had no budget for backup + software. The Linux systems (about 30) acted as Tivoli (TMF) + gateways. The Linux systems were commodity PCs, so when the IDE + HDs failed it took hours (usually at least 4) to clean up the + Tivoli environment and rebuild the failed gateway. Using Bacula + and mkCDrec I cut that time down to under an hour, and most of + that time was not spent doing anything except waiting for the + restore to finish. I recovered 2 failed Linux systems with + Bacula. +
+ I would like to thank you and the entire Bacula team for an + excellent piece of software. +

+ What is Bacula? +
+ +Bacula is a set of computer programs that permit you (or the +system administrator) to manage backup, recovery, and verification of +computer data across a network of computers of different kinds. In +technical terms, it is a network Client/Server based backup program. +Bacula is relatively easy to use and efficient, while offering many +advanced storage management features that make it easy to find and +recover lost or damaged files. Due to its modular design, Bacula is +scalable from small single computer systems to systems consisting of +hundreds of computers located over a large network. +

Who Needs Bacula?

+If you are currently using a program such as tar, dump, or +bru to backup your computer data, and you would like a network +solution, more flexibility, or catalog services, Bacula will most +likely provide the additional features you want. However, if you are +new to Unix systems or do not have offsetting experience with a sophisticated +backup package, we do not recommend using Bacula as it is +much more difficult to setup and use than tar or dump. +

If you are running Amanda and would like a backup program that +can write to multiple volumes (i.e. is not limited by your tape drive +capacity), Bacula can most likely fill your needs. In addition, +quite a number of our users report that Bacula is simpler to +setup and use than other equivalent programs. +

If you are +currently using a sophisticated commercial package such as Legato +Networker. ARCserveIT, Arkeia, or PerfectBackup+, you may be interested +in Bacula, which provides many of the same features, and is free +software available under the GNU Version 2 software license. + +

Bacula Components or Services

+Bacula is made up of the following five major components or services: +

+
+ thanks to Aristedes Maniatis for this graphic and the one below +

+

+

    +
  • + Bacula Director service consists of the program that + supervises all the backup, restore, verify and archive operations. + The system administrator uses the Bacula Director to schedule + backups and to recover files. For more details see the Director Services Daemon Design Document. + The Director runs as a daemon or a service (i.e. in the background). +
  • +
  • + Bacula Console services is the program that allows the + administrator or user to communicate with the Bacula Director + (see above). Currently, the Bacula Console is available in three + versions. The first and simplest is to run the Console program in a + shell window (i.e. TTY interface). Most system administrators will + find this completely adequate. The second version is a GNOME GUI + interface that for the moment (23 November 2003) is far from complete, + but quite functional as it has most the capabilities of the shell + Console. The third version is a wxWidgets GUI with an interactive file + restore. It also has most the capabilities of the shell console, + allows command completion with tabulation, and gives you instant + help about the command you are typing. For more details see the + Bacula Console Design Document. +
  • +
  • + Bacula File services (or Client program) is the software + program that is installed on the machine to be backed up. It is + specific to the operating system on which it runs and is responsible + for providing the file attributes and data when requested by the + Director. The File services are also responsible for the file + system dependent part of restoring the file attributes and data + during a recovery operation. For more details see the File Services Daemon Design Document. This + program runs as a daemon on the machine to be backed up, and in some + of the documentation, the File daemon is referred to as the Client + (for example in Bacula's configuration file). In addition to + Unix/Linux File daemons, there is a Windows File daemon (normally + distributed in binary format). The Windows File daemon runs on + all currently known Windows versions (95, 98, Me, NT, 2000, XP). +
  • +
  • + Bacula Storage services consist of the software programs that + perform the storage and recovery of the file attributes and data to + the physical backup media or volumes. In other words, the Storage daemon + is responsible for reading and writing your tapes (or other + storage media, e.g. files). For more details see the Storage Services Daemon Design Document. + The Storage services runs as a daemon on the machine that has the + backup device (usually a tape drive). +
  • +
  • + Catalog services are comprised of the software programs + responsible for maintaining the file indexes and volume databases for + all files backed up. The Catalog services permit the System + Administrator or user to quickly locate and restore any desired + file. The Catalog services sets Bacula apart from simple backup + programs like tar and bru, because the catalog maintains a record + of all Volumes used, all Jobs run, and all Files saved, permitting + efficicient restoration and Volume management. + Bacula currently supports three different databases, MySQL, + PostgreSQL, and SQLite, one of which must be chosen when building + Bacula. There also exists an Internal database, but it is no + longer supported. +

    + The three SQL databases currently supported (MySQL, PostgreSQL or SQLite) + provide quite a number of features, + including rapid indexing, arbitrary queries, and security. Although + we plan to support other major SQL databases, the current + Bacula implementation interfaces only to MySQL, PostgreSQL and SQLite. + For more details see the Catalog Services + Design Document. +

    The RPMs for MySQL and PostgreSQL ship as part of the Linux RedHat release, + or building it from the source is quite easy, see the + Installing and Configuring MySQL chapter + of this document for the details. For more information on MySQL, + please see: www.mysql.com. + Or see the Installing and Configuring + PostgreSQL chapter of this document for the details. For more + information on PostgreSQL, please see: www.postgresql.org. +

    Configuring and building SQLite is even easier. For the details + of configuring SQLite, please see the + Installing and Configuring SQLite chapter of this document. +

  • +
  • + Bacula Monitor services is the program that allows the + administrator or user to watch current status of Bacula Directors, + Bacula File Daemons and Bacula Storage Daemons + (see above). Currently, only a GTK+ version is available, which + works with Gnome and KDE (or any window manager that supports the + FreeDesktop.org system tray standard). +
  • +
+To perform a successful save or restore, the following four daemons +must be configured and running: the Director daemon, the File daemon, +the Storage daemon, and MySQL, PostgreSQL or SQLite. + +

Bacula Configuration

+In order for Bacula to understand your system, what clients you +want backed up, and how, you must create a number of configuration +files containing resources (or objects). The following presents an +overall picture of this: +

+ +

+ +

Conventions Used in this Document

+Bacula is in a state of evolution, and as a consequence, +this manual will not always agree with the code. If an +item in this manual is preceded by an asterisk (*), it indicates +that the particular feature is not implemented. If it is preceded +by a plus sign (+), it indicates that the feature may be partially +implemented. +

If you are reading this manual as supplied in a released version +of the software, the above paragraph holds true. If you are reading +the online version of the manual, +http://www.bacula.org/rel-manual, please bear in mind that this version +describes the current version in development (in the SVN) that may +contain features not in the released version. Just the same, +it generally lags behind the code a bit. +

Quick Start

+To get Bacula up and running quickly, we recommend that you first +scan the Terminology section below, then quickly review the next chapter +entitled The Current State of Bacula, then the +Quick Start Guide to Bacula, which will +give you a quick overview of getting Bacula running. After +which, you should proceed to the +chapter on Installing Bacula, then How to Configure Bacula, +and finally the chapter on +Running Bacula. + +

Terminology

+To facilitate communication about this project, we provide here +the definitions of the terminology that we use. +
+
Administrator
+
The person or persons responsible for administrating the Bacula system.
+ +
Backup
+
We use the term Backup to refer to a Bacula Job that saves files.
+ +
Bootstrap File
+
The bootstrap file is an ASCII file + containing a compact form of commands that allow Bacula or + the stand-alone file extraction utility (bextract) to + restore the contents of one or more Volumes, for example, the + current state of a system just backed up. With a bootstrap file, + Bacula can restore your system without a Catalog. You can + create a bootstrap file from a Catalog to extract any file or + files you wish.
+ +
Catalog
+
The Catalog is used to store summary information + about the Jobs, Clients, and Files that were backed up and on + what Volume or Volumes. The information saved in the Catalog + permits the administrator or user to determine what jobs were + run, their status as well as the important characteristics + of each file that was backed up. The Catalog is an online resource, + but does not contain the data for the files backed up. Most of + the information stored in the catalog is also stored on the + backup volumes (i.e. tapes). Of course, the tapes will also have + a copy of the file in addition to the File Attributes (see below). +

The catalog feature is one part of Bacula that distinguishes + it from simple backup and archive programs such as dump + and tar. +

+ +
Client
+
In Bacula's terminology, the word Client + refers to the machine being backed up, and it is synonymous + with the File services or File daemon, and quite often, we + refer to it as the FD. A Client is defined in a configuration + file resource.
+ +
Console
+
The program that interfaces to the Director allowing + the user or system administrator to control Bacula.
+ +
Daemon
+
Unix terminology for a program that is always present in + the background to carry out a designated task. On Windows systems, as + well as some Linux systems, daemons are called Services.
+ +
Directive
+
The term directive is used to refer to a statement + or a record within a Resource in a configuration file that + defines one specific thing. For example, the Name directive + defines the name of the Resource.
+ +
Director
+
The main Bacula server daemon that schedules and directs all + Bacula operations. Occassionally, we refer to the Director as DIR.
+ +
Differential
+
A backup that includes all files changed since the last + Full save started. Note, other backup programs may define this differently.
+ +
File Attributes
+
The File Attributes are all the information + necessary about a file to identify it and all its properties such as + size, creation date, modification date, permissions, etc. Normally, the + attributes are handled entirely by Bacula so that the user never + needs to be concerned about them. The attributes do not include the + file's data. + +
File Daemon
+
The daemon running on the client + computer to be backed up. This is also referred to as the File + services, and sometimes as the Client services or the FD. + +
FileSet
+
A FileSet is a Resource contained in a configuration + file that defines the files to be backed up. It consists + of a list of included files or directories, a list of excluded files, and + how the file is to be stored (compression, encryption, signatures). + For more details, see the + FileSet Resource definition + in the Director chapter of this document.
+ +
Incremental
+
A backup that includes all files changed since the + last Full, Differential, or Incremental backup started. It is normally + specified on the Level directive within the Job resource + definition, or in a Schedule resourc.
+ +
Job
+
A Bacula Job is a configuration resource that defines + the work that Bacula must perform to backup or restore a particular + Client. It consists of the Type (backup, restore, verify, + etc), the Level (full, incremental,...), the FileSet, + and Storage the files are to be backed up (Storage device, + Media Pool). For more details, see the + Job Resource definition + in the Director chapter of this document.
+ +
Monitor
+
The program that interfaces to the all the daemons + allowing the user or system administrator to monitor Bacula status.
+ +
Resource
+
A resource is a part of a configuration file that + defines a specific unit of information that is available to Bacula. + For example, the Job resource defines all the properties of + a specific Job: name, schedule, Volume pool, backup type, backup + level, ...
+ +
Restore
+
A restore is a configuration resource that + describes the operation of recovering a file (lost or damaged) from + backup media. It is the inverse of a save, except that in most + cases, a restore will normally have a small set of files to restore, + while normally a Save backs up all the files on the system. Of + course, after a disk crash, Bacula can be called upon to do + a full Restore of all files that were on the system.
+ +
Schedule
+
A Schedule is a configuration resource that + defines when the Bacula Job will be scheduled for + execution. To use the Schedule, the Job resource will refer to + the name of the Schedule. For more details, see the Schedule Resource + definition in the Director chapter of this document.
+ +
Service
+
This is Windows terminology for a daemon -- see + above. It is now frequently used in Unix environments as well.
+ +
Storage Coordinates
+
The information returned from the + Storage Services that uniquely locates a file on a backup medium. It + consists of two parts: one part pertains to each file saved, and the + other part pertains to the whole Job. Normally, this information is + saved in the Catalog so that the user doesn't need specific knowledge + of the Storage Coordinates. The Storage Coordinates include the + File Attributes (see above) plus the unique location of the information on + the backup Volume.
+ +
Storage Daemon
+
The Storage daemon, sometimes referred to as + the SD, is the code that writes the attributes and data to a storage + Volume (usually a tape or disk).
+ +
Session
+
Normally refers to the internal conversation between + the File daemon and the Storage daemon. The File daemon opens a + session with the Storage daemon to save a FileSet, or to restore + it. A session has a one to one correspondence to a Bacula Job (see + above).
+ +
Verify
+
A verify is a job that compares the current file + attributes to the attributes that have previously been stored in the + Bacula Catalog. This feature can be used for detecting changes to + critical system files similar to what Tripwire does. One + of the major advantages of using Bacula to do this is that + on the machine you want protected such as a server, you can run + just the File daemon, and the Director, Storage daemon, and Catalog + reside on a different machine. As a consequence, if your server is + ever compromised, it is unlikely that your verification database + will be tampered with. +

Verify can also be used to check that the most recent Job + data written to a Volume agrees with what is stored in the Catalog + (i.e. it compares the file attributes), *or it can check the + Volume contents against the original files on disk.

+ +
*Archive
+
An Archive operation is done after a Save, and it + consists of removing the Volumes on which data is saved from active + use. These Volumes are marked as Archived, and many no longer be + used to save files. All the files contained on an Archived Volume + are removed from the Catalog. NOT YET IMPLEMENTED.
+ +
*Update
+
An Update operation causes the files on the remote + system to be updated to be the same as the host system. This is + equivalent to an rdist capability. NOT YET IMPLEMENTED. +
+ +
Retention Period
+
There are various kinds of retention + periods that Bacula recognizes. The most important are the + File Retention Period, Job Retention Period, and the + Volume Retention Period. Each of these retention periods + applies to the time that specific records will be kept in the + Catalog database. This should not be confused with the time that + the data saved to a Volume is valid.

The File Retention Period + determines the time that File records are kept in the catalog + database. This period is important because the volume of the + database File records by far use the most storage space in the + database. As a consequence, you must ensure that regular + "pruning" of the database file records is done. (See + the Console retention command for more details on this + subject).

The Job Retention Period is the length of time that + Job records will be kept in the database. Note, all the File + records are tied to the Job that saved those files. The File + records can be purged leaving the Job records. In this case, + information will be available about the jobs that ran, but not the + details of the files that were backed up. Normally, when a Job + record is purged, all its File records will also be purged.

The + Volume Retention Period is the minimum of time that a Volume will be + kept before it is reused. Bacula will normally never + overwrite a Volume that contains the only backup copy of a file. + Under ideal conditions, the Catalog would retain entries for all + files backed up for all current Volumes. Once a Volume is + overwritten, the files that were backed up on that Volume are + automatically removed from the Catalog. However, if there is a very + large pool of Volumes or a Volume is never overwritten, the Catalog + database may become enormous. To keep the Catalog to a manageable + size, the backup information should removed from the Catalog after + the defined File Retention Period. Bacula provides the + mechanisms for the catalog to be automatically pruned according to + the retention periods defined.

+ +
Scan
+
A Scan operation causes the contents of a Volume or a + series of Volumes to be scanned. These Volumes with the information + on which files they contain are restored to the Bacula Catalog. + Once the information is restored to the Catalog, the files contained + on those Volumes may be easily restored. This function is + particularly useful if certain Volumes or Jobs have exceeded + their retention period and have been pruned or purged from the + Catalog. Scanning data from Volumes into the Catalog is done + by using the bscan program. See the + bscan section of the Bacula Utilities Chapter of this manual + for more details.
+ +
Volume
+
A Volume is an archive unit, normally a tape or + a named disk file where Bacula stores the data from one or more + backup jobs. All Bacula Volumes have a software label written to + the Volume by Bacula so that it identify what Volume it is really + reading. (Normally there should be no confusion with disk files, + but with tapes, it is easy to mount the wrong one).
+
+ +

What Bacula is Not

+Bacula is a backup, restore and verification program and is not a +complete disaster recovery system in itself, but it can be a key part +of one if you plan carefully and follow the instructions included in the Disaster Recovery Chapter of this manual. +

+With proper planning, as mentioned in the Disaster Recovery chapter +Bacula can be a central component of your disaster recovery +system. For example, if you have created an emergency boot disk, a +Bacula Rescue disk to save the current partitioning information of your +hard disk, and maintain a complete Bacula backup, it is possible to +completely recover your system from "bare metal". +

+If you have used the WriteBootstrap record in your job or some +other means to save a valid bootstrap file, you will be able to use it +to extract the necessary files (without using the catalog or manually +searching for the files to restore). + +

Interactions Between the Bacula Services

+The following block diagram shows the typical interactions +between the Bacula Services for a backup job. Each block +represents in general a separate process (normally a daemon). +In general, the Director oversees the flow of information. It also +maintains the Catalog. +

+ Interactions between Bacula Services +

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: - - http://www.bacula.org/downloads/bug-935.txt - -;;; - -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 - 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.

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). - -;;; - -Kern;;;2007/3/6;;;14:30 - -Bacula Version 2.0.3 has been released to Source Forge. -This is a bug fix release to version 2.0.2.

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 - /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 /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=. 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 -- 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.

- Bug Reporting -
- Before reporting a bug, please be sure it is a bug and - not a request for support (see the Support tab to - the left). -

- Bacula now has a Mantis bug reporting system - implemented by Dan Langille and hosted on his computer. It is web based, - easy to use, and we recommend you give it a try. You can submit a bug - or review the list of open or closed bugs by visiting: - -

- http://bugs.bacula.org -

- -To view the bug reports, you can login as user anonymous and -password anonymous. The advantage of actually being subscribed -is that you will be notified by email of any serious bugs and their -resolution. - -To submit bug reports, you must create an account. You must also use a -browser running a US ASCII code page or UTF-8. Some users running Win32 -IE with Windows Eastern European code pages have experienced problems -interfacing with the system. - -

-Most Bacula problems are questions of support, so if you are not -sure if a problem you are having is a bug, see the support page -on this site for links to the email lists. However, once you have -determined that a problem is a bug, you must either submit a bug -report to the bugs database or send an email to the bacula-devel -list, otherwise it is possible that the developers will never know -about your bug and thus it will not get fixed. - -You should expect two things to be slightly different in our Bugs -handling than many other Open Source projects. First, we unfortunately -cannot give support or handle feature requests via the bugs database, -and second, we close bugs very quickly to avoid being overwhelmed. -Please don't take this personally. If you want to add a note to the bug -report after it is closed, you can do so by reopening the bug, adding a -bug note, then closing the bug report again, or for really simple -matters, you can send an email to the bacula-devel email list. If a -developer closes a bug report and after everything considered, you are -convinced there really *is* a bug and you have new information, you can -always reopen the bug report. - -

Information Needed in a Bug Report

-For us to respond to a bug report, we normally need the following -as the minimum information, which you should enter into the appropriate -fields of the bug reporting system: -
    -
  • Your operating system
  • -
  • The version of Bacula you are using
  • -
  • A clear and concise description of the problem
  • -
  • If you say "it crashes", "it doesn't work" or something - similar, you should include some output from Bacula that shows this.
  • -
-If you are having tape problems, please include: -
    -
  • The kind of tape drive you have
  • -
  • Have you run the btape "test" command?
  • - -
-The first two of these items can be fulfilled by sending us a copy of -your config.out file, which is in the main Bacula source -directory after you have done your ./configure. - -

In addition, we will sometimes need a copy of your Bacula -configuration files (especially bacula-dir.conf). If you think it is a -configuration problem, please don't hesitate to send them if -necessary.

- Please read that little Bug-Report-HowTo as well. -

Feature Requests
- -In the past, users informally submitted feature requests by email, and -I (Kern) collected them, then once a version was released, I would publish the -list for users to vote on. -

-Now that Bacula has become a bigger project, this process has been -formalized a bit more. The main change is for users -to carefully think about their feature, and submit it on a feature -request form. A mostly empty form is shown below along with an -example of an actual filled in form. A text copy of the form can -be found in the projects file in the main source directory -of the Bacula release. That file also contains a list of all the -currently approved projects and their status. -

-The best time to submit a Feature Request is just after a release when -I officially request feature requests for the next version. The worst -time to submit a feature request is just prior to a new release (we are -very busy at that time). To actually submit the Feature request, -fill out the form, and submit it to both the bacula-users and -the bacula-devel email lists. It will then be openly discussed. -

-Once the Feature Request has beeen adequately discussed, I will -either reject it, approve it, or possibly request some -modifications. If you plan to implement the feature or donate -funds to have it implemented, this is important to note, -otherwise, the feature, even if approved, may wait a long time -for someone to implement it. -

-Once the Feature request is approved, I'll add it to the projects -file, which contains a list of all open Feature Requests. The projects -file is updated from time to time -

-The current (though possibly somewhat old) list of projects can also -be found on the Web site by clicking on the Projects menu item. - - -

An Example Feature Request

-
-Item 1:   Implement a Migration job type that will move the job
-          data from one device to another.
-  Date:   28 October 2005
-  Origin: Sponsored by Riege Sofware International GmbH. Contact:
-          Daniel Holtkamp 
-  Status: Partially coded in 1.37 -- much more to do. Assigned to
-          Kern.
-
-  What:   The ability to copy, move, or archive data that is on a
-          device to another device is very important.
-
-  Why:    An ISP might want to backup to disk, but after 30 days
-          migrate the data to tape backup and delete it from
-          disk.  Bacula should be able to handle this
-          automatically.  It needs to know what was put where,
-          and when, and what to migrate -- it is a bit like
-          retention periods.  Doing so would allow space to be
-          freed up for current backups while maintaining older
-          data on tape drives.
-
-  Notes:  Migration could be triggered by:
-           Number of Jobs
-           Number of Volumes
-           Age of Jobs
-           Highwater size (keep total size)
-           Lowwater mark

- Contributing to the Bacula Project -
- Although one talks about Free Software, in fact, Open Software such - as Bacula was not developed without some cost. The software - may be free for the user, but it wasn't free for the developer - or developers, either in terms of time or in terms of financial - cost. - - For example, since beginning work on the Bacula project in - January 2000 until now (August 2006), I (Kern) have spent - approximately $8000 per year for computers, tape drives, - communications expenses, electricity, software licenses, and - other expenses. I am not complaining and am pleased to have - been able to afford these expenditures. In addition, have no - desire to have my past expenses reimbursed. - - Bacula is now a fairly mature product, and to ensure its long - term survival, I believe it is time that Bacula begins to - stand on its own, both financially and for the development, - which is why we began accepting donations or project support - in November 2005. -

- There are ways you can contribute to the Bacula - project, some of which are: ideas, user support, - documentation review, translation, programming and - contributing code, testing the new releases, hosting - services, testing machines, donating needed equipment, and - financial support. - - Previously all but the last one (financial support) were possible. - It is now possible for you to contribute financial aid - the Bacula project. All funds collected will be used to help - further the Bacula project by covering out of pocket expenses - incurred by the project (no salaries). Examples are, administrative - fees, hardware, software licenses (yes Micro$oft), and possibly a - portion of travel/conference expenses. - -

- Contributions may not be US tax deductible as Bacula is - based in Switzerland. -

- If you are a government or for-profit corporation and cannot - make "donations", please consider paying a (non-obligatory) - binary license fee for any Bacula built binaries that you download. - By making these pre-built, pre-tested binaries available, we are - providing users who download them with an extra service, which merits - careful consideration for making a contribution or paying a - "license fee". -

- If you are a corporation and cannot make donations and don't want - to pay a binary license fee, you can request an invoice for - Bacula Project development. Please see below for how to do this. - -

- To make a contribution, please click on the donate button at - the top of the screen, and your transaction will be secured - and confirmed directly by PayPal. If you contribute, or have - any questions, please send me an email directly: kern at - sibbald dot com. - -

- If you need an invoice, I can send you one, but in order to limit my - administrative work, I kindly request you to make a donation of at least - $200 before requesting an invoice. To obtain one, simply email me the exact - name to appear on the invoice as well as the mailing address, the amount - you want to contribute, and the project you are supporting (or simply - Bacula development). - -

- The Bacula web site has a "Donations Received" page where - you can have your company name, your name, and the amount (or any - combination of those) listed. You must explicitly request to be listed. - Do so by sending an email to: kern at sibbald dot com after you have - made the payment. - -

Although there is one link to our ISP, who we thank for providing the - hosting service, we do not provide any links to other sites other than - on the Professional page. - -

-Item  1:  Accurate restoration of renamed/deleted files
-  Date:   28 November 2005
-  Origin: Martin Simmons (martin at lispworks dot com)
-  Status: Robert Nelson will implement this
-
-  What:   When restoring a fileset for a specified date (including "most
-          recent"), Bacula should give you exactly the files and directories
-          that existed at the time of the last backup prior to that date.
-
-          Currently this only works if the last backup was a Full backup.
-          When the last backup was Incremental/Differential, files and
-          directories that have been renamed or deleted since the last Full
-          backup are not currently restored correctly.  Ditto for files with
-          extra/fewer hard links than at the time of the last Full backup.
-
-  Why:    Incremental/Differential would be much more useful if this worked.
-
-  Notes:  Merging of multiple backups into a single one seems to
-          rely on this working, otherwise the merged backups will not be
-          truly equivalent to a Full backup.  
-
-          Kern: notes shortened. This can be done without the need for 
-          inodes. It is essentially the same as the current Verify job,
-          but one additional database record must be written, which does 
-          not need any database change.
-
-          Kern: see if we can correct restoration of directories if
-          replace=ifnewer is set.  Currently, if the directory does not
-          exist, a "dummy" directory is created, then when all the files
-          are updated, the dummy directory is newer so the real values
-          are not updated.
-
-Item  2:  Implement a Bacula GUI/management tool.
-  Origin: Kern
-  Date:   28 October 2005
-  Status: In progress
-
-  What:   Implement a Bacula console, and management tools
-          probably using Qt3 and C++.
-
-  Why:    Don't we already have a wxWidgets GUI?  Yes, but
-          it is written in C++ and changes to the user interface
-          must be hand tailored using C++ code. By developing
-          the user interface using Qt designer, the interface
-          can be very easily updated and most of the new Python       
-          code will be automatically created.  The user interface
-          changes become very simple, and only the new features
-          must be implement.  In addition, the code will be in
-          Python, which will give many more users easy (or easier)
-          access to making additions or modifications.
-
- Notes:   There is a partial Python-GTK implementation
-          Lucas Di Pentima  but
-          it is no longer being developed.
-
-Item  3:  Allow FD to initiate a backup
-  Origin: Frank Volf (frank at deze dot org)
-  Date:   17 November 2005
-  Status:
-
-   What:  Provide some means, possibly by a restricted console that
-          allows a FD to initiate a backup, and that uses the connection
-          established by the FD to the Director for the backup so that
-          a Director that is firewalled can do the backup.
-
-   Why:   Makes backup of laptops much easier.
-
-
-Item  4:  Merge multiple backups (Synthetic Backup or Consolidation).
-  Origin: Marc Cousin and Eric Bollengier 
-  Date:   15 November 2005
-  Status: Waiting implementation. Depends on first implementing 
-          project Item 2 (Migration) which is now done.
-
-  What:   A merged backup is a backup made without connecting to the Client.
-          It would be a Merge of existing backups into a single backup.
-          In effect, it is like a restore but to the backup medium.
-
-          For instance, say that last Sunday we made a full backup.  Then
-          all week long, we created incremental backups, in order to do
-          them fast.  Now comes Sunday again, and we need another full.
-          The merged backup makes it possible to do instead an incremental
-          backup (during the night for instance), and then create a merged
-          backup during the day, by using the full and incrementals from
-          the week.  The merged backup will be exactly like a full made
-          Sunday night on the tape, but the production interruption on the
-          Client will be minimal, as the Client will only have to send
-          incrementals.
-
-          In fact, if it's done correctly, you could merge all the
-          Incrementals into single Incremental, or all the Incrementals
-          and the last Differential into a new Differential, or the Full,
-          last differential and all the Incrementals into a new Full
-          backup.  And there is no need to involve the Client.
-
-  Why:    The benefit is that :
-          - the Client just does an incremental ;
-          - the merged backup on tape is just as a single full backup,
-            and can be restored very fast.
-
-          This is also a way of reducing the backup data since the old
-          data can then be pruned (or not) from the catalog, possibly
-          allowing older volumes to be recycled
-
-Item  5:  Deletion of Disk-Based Bacula Volumes
-  Date:   Nov 25, 2005
-  Origin: Ross Boylan  (edited
-          by Kern)
-  Status:         
-
-   What:  Provide a way for Bacula to automatically remove Volumes
-          from the filesystem, or optionally to truncate them.
-          Obviously, the Volume must be pruned prior removal.
-
-  Why:    This would allow users more control over their Volumes and
-          prevent disk based volumes from consuming too much space.
-
-  Notes:  The following two directives might do the trick:

-          Volume Data Retention =

- System Requirements -
- -
    -
  • Bacula has been compiled and run on Linux, FreeBSD, - and Solaris systems.
  • -
  • It requires GNU C++ version 2.95 or higher to compile. You can try - with other compilers and older versions, but you are on your - own. We have successfully compiled and used Bacula on - RH8.0/RH9/RHEL 3.0 with GCC 3.2. Note, in general GNU C++ is a - separate package (e.g. RPM) from GNU C, so you need them both - loaded. On RedHat systems, the C++ compiler is part of the - gcc-c++ rpm package.
  • -
  • There are certain third party packages that Bacula needs. - Except for MySQL and PostgreSQL, they can all be found in the - depkgs and depkgs1 releases.
  • -
  • If you want to build the Win32 binaries, you should know - that they are cross-compiled on a Linux machine. For - more information, please see the src/win32/README.mingw32 - file in the source distribution. - Although we document it, we do not support building the - Win32 binaries. Only the Win32 File daemon is officially - supported, though the other daemons are available in the - binary release.
  • -
  • Bacula requires a good implementation of pthreads to work. - This is not the case on some of the BSD systems.
  • -
  • The source code has been written with portability in mind and is - mostly POSIX compatible. Thus porting to any POSIX compatible - operating system should be relatively easy.
  • -
  • The GNOME Console program is developed and tested under GNOME 2.x. -
  • -
  • The wxWidgets Console program is developed and tested with the - latest stable version of wxWidgets (2.6). It - works fine with the Windows and GTK+-2.x version of wxWidgets, - and should also works on other platforms supported by - wxWidgets.
  • -

Support for Bacula
- - Please keep in mind that we are not getting paid for this. - Nevertheless, our desire is to see as many people using - Bacula as possible. So we are very willing to - provide a reasonable level of email support. - -

Before asking for help, it could be useful to check against the - email archive as often solution to your problem has been discussed - or a patch has been released. Please see: - - http://news.gmane.org/search.php?match=bacula. - - Also, if you are using Bacula in production, we highly recommend - subscribing to the bugs database at: - http://bugs.bacula.org to keep informed of problems and - patches. - -

For support, send an email to - bacula-users at lists.sourceforge.net, and if you are - specific enough, some kind Bacula user will help you. Please - note that if you don't at least specify what version of Bacula - and what platform you are using, it will not be easy to get a - valid answer. The email address noted above - was modified to prevent easy use by spammers. - To use it, you must replace the at with an @ symbol. Due - to the increasing volumes of spam on the list, you must - be subscribed to it to be able to send and email to it. The - link to your left entitled Email Lists provides links - to where you can subscribe to each of the Bacula email lists. - - The users constantly monitor this list and will generally provide - support. Please see Information Needed below for what to - include in your support request. If you don't supply the necessary - information, it will take longer to respond to your request, and - users may be afraid to try to respond, - if your request is too complicated or not well formulated. - - -

I (Kern) get a number of "off-list" emails sent - directly to me. Unfortunately, I am no longer able to provide - direct user support. However, I do read all the email sent and - occasionally provide a tip or two. If you do send email to me, - please always copy the appropriate list, if you - do not copy the list, I may not answer you, or I will answer by copying - the list. If you really have something confidential, - please clearly indicate it.

- -

If you send a bug report or minor enhancement request because of a - problem to the bacula-devel list, and you do not provide the information - requested below, particularly the Bacula version, it is very - frustrating for us, because it is quite often the case that your problem is - version dependent, and likely already fixed. In such case, we will note - the problem, but you will be unlikely to get a response, especially if we - are busy, because it forces us to first ask you what version you are using - (or other information), then deal with your response, thus doubling the - time for us. If we do ask you for information, please include all - the previous correspondence in each email, otherwise you force us to search - the archives to find what you previously wrote. In short, if you want a - response, please see "Information Needed" below. - -

If you are looking for live-support you might check out our irc-channel - in the Freenode net, called #bacula. - -

Information Needed

-For us to respond to a bug report, we normally need the following -as the minimum information, which you can enter into the appropriate -fields of the bug reporting system: -
    -
  • Your operating system
  • -
  • The version of Bacula you are using
  • -
  • A clear and concise description of the problem
  • -
  • If you say "it crashes", "it doesn't work" or something - similar, you should include some output from Bacula that shows this.
  • -
  • If we respond to your email, and you answer, possibly supplying more - information, please be sure to include the full text of previous - emails so that we have all the information in one place.
  • -
-If you are having tape problems, please include: -
    -
  • The kind of tape drive you have
  • -
  • Have you run the btape "test" command?
  • -
- -If you are having database problems, please include: -
    -
  • The database you are using: MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite, SQLite3
  • -
  • The version of the database you are using
  • -
- -The first two of these items can be fulfilled by sending -us a copy of your config.out file, which is in the -main Bacula source directory after you have done -your ./configure. -

In addition, we will sometimes need a copy of your Bacula -configuration files (especially bacula-dir.conf). If you -think it is a configuration problem, please don't hesitate -to send them if necessary.

- Please read that little Bug-Report-HowTo as well. -

Norm Dressler - 2004/06/15

- Bacula has been awesome for us. We used to use Ar**** but I - have always hated the interface. And the cost was outrageous. - Then I found bacula and wow! Everything in Ar**** and then - some! The console is easy to use, easy to understand once you - get the hang of it, and I usually don't have any problems - restoring files! :) -
- I have 15+ machines I backup with Bacula - with an autoloader, and I'm extremely happy with the product. - Whenever someone asks me about what to use, I point them at - Bacula. -

Michael Scherer - 2005/02/09

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

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

Jeff Richards - 2006/08/26

- I used Bacula at my previous employer to backup: Linux, OpenBSD, Windows 2000,XP,2003, and AIX 5.1 -

- Bacula provided a solution when I had no budget for backup - software. The Linux systems (about 30) acted as Tivoli (TMF) - gateways. The Linux systems were commodity PCs, so when the IDE - HDs failed it took hours (usually at least 4) to clean up the - Tivoli environment and rebuild the failed gateway. Using Bacula - and mkCDrec I cut that time down to under an hour, and most of - that time was not spent doing anything except waiting for the - restore to finish. I recovered 2 failed Linux systems with - Bacula. -
- I would like to thank you and the entire Bacula team for an - excellent piece of software. -

- What is Bacula? -
- -Bacula is a set of computer programs that permit you (or the -system administrator) to manage backup, recovery, and verification of -computer data across a network of computers of different kinds. In -technical terms, it is a network Client/Server based backup program. -Bacula is relatively easy to use and efficient, while offering many -advanced storage management features that make it easy to find and -recover lost or damaged files. Due to its modular design, Bacula is -scalable from small single computer systems to systems consisting of -hundreds of computers located over a large network. -

Who Needs Bacula?

-If you are currently using a program such as tar, dump, or -bru to backup your computer data, and you would like a network -solution, more flexibility, or catalog services, Bacula will most -likely provide the additional features you want. However, if you are -new to Unix systems or do not have offsetting experience with a sophisticated -backup package, we do not recommend using Bacula as it is -much more difficult to setup and use than tar or dump. -

If you are running Amanda and would like a backup program that -can write to multiple volumes (i.e. is not limited by your tape drive -capacity), Bacula can most likely fill your needs. In addition, -quite a number of our users report that Bacula is simpler to -setup and use than other equivalent programs. -

If you are -currently using a sophisticated commercial package such as Legato -Networker. ARCserveIT, Arkeia, or PerfectBackup+, you may be interested -in Bacula, which provides many of the same features, and is free -software available under the GNU Version 2 software license. - -

Bacula Components or Services

-Bacula is made up of the following five major components or services: -

-
- thanks to Aristedes Maniatis for this graphic and the one below -

-

-

    -
  • - Bacula Director service consists of the program that - supervises all the backup, restore, verify and archive operations. - The system administrator uses the Bacula Director to schedule - backups and to recover files. For more details see the Director Services Daemon Design Document. - The Director runs as a daemon or a service (i.e. in the background). -
  • -
  • - Bacula Console services is the program that allows the - administrator or user to communicate with the Bacula Director - (see above). Currently, the Bacula Console is available in three - versions. The first and simplest is to run the Console program in a - shell window (i.e. TTY interface). Most system administrators will - find this completely adequate. The second version is a GNOME GUI - interface that for the moment (23 November 2003) is far from complete, - but quite functional as it has most the capabilities of the shell - Console. The third version is a wxWidgets GUI with an interactive file - restore. It also has most the capabilities of the shell console, - allows command completion with tabulation, and gives you instant - help about the command you are typing. For more details see the - Bacula Console Design Document. -
  • -
  • - Bacula File services (or Client program) is the software - program that is installed on the machine to be backed up. It is - specific to the operating system on which it runs and is responsible - for providing the file attributes and data when requested by the - Director. The File services are also responsible for the file - system dependent part of restoring the file attributes and data - during a recovery operation. For more details see the File Services Daemon Design Document. This - program runs as a daemon on the machine to be backed up, and in some - of the documentation, the File daemon is referred to as the Client - (for example in Bacula's configuration file). In addition to - Unix/Linux File daemons, there is a Windows File daemon (normally - distributed in binary format). The Windows File daemon runs on - all currently known Windows versions (95, 98, Me, NT, 2000, XP). -
  • -
  • - Bacula Storage services consist of the software programs that - perform the storage and recovery of the file attributes and data to - the physical backup media or volumes. In other words, the Storage daemon - is responsible for reading and writing your tapes (or other - storage media, e.g. files). For more details see the Storage Services Daemon Design Document. - The Storage services runs as a daemon on the machine that has the - backup device (usually a tape drive). -
  • -
  • - Catalog services are comprised of the software programs - responsible for maintaining the file indexes and volume databases for - all files backed up. The Catalog services permit the System - Administrator or user to quickly locate and restore any desired - file. The Catalog services sets Bacula apart from simple backup - programs like tar and bru, because the catalog maintains a record - of all Volumes used, all Jobs run, and all Files saved, permitting - efficicient restoration and Volume management. - Bacula currently supports three different databases, MySQL, - PostgreSQL, and SQLite, one of which must be chosen when building - Bacula. There also exists an Internal database, but it is no - longer supported. -

    - The three SQL databases currently supported (MySQL, PostgreSQL or SQLite) - provide quite a number of features, - including rapid indexing, arbitrary queries, and security. Although - we plan to support other major SQL databases, the current - Bacula implementation interfaces only to MySQL, PostgreSQL and SQLite. - For more details see the Catalog Services - Design Document. -

    The RPMs for MySQL and PostgreSQL ship as part of the Linux RedHat release, - or building it from the source is quite easy, see the - Installing and Configuring MySQL chapter - of this document for the details. For more information on MySQL, - please see: www.mysql.com. - Or see the Installing and Configuring - PostgreSQL chapter of this document for the details. For more - information on PostgreSQL, please see: www.postgresql.org. -

    Configuring and building SQLite is even easier. For the details - of configuring SQLite, please see the - Installing and Configuring SQLite chapter of this document. -

  • -
  • - Bacula Monitor services is the program that allows the - administrator or user to watch current status of Bacula Directors, - Bacula File Daemons and Bacula Storage Daemons - (see above). Currently, only a GTK+ version is available, which - works with Gnome and KDE (or any window manager that supports the - FreeDesktop.org system tray standard). -
  • -
-To perform a successful save or restore, the following four daemons -must be configured and running: the Director daemon, the File daemon, -the Storage daemon, and MySQL, PostgreSQL or SQLite. - -

Bacula Configuration

-In order for Bacula to understand your system, what clients you -want backed up, and how, you must create a number of configuration -files containing resources (or objects). The following presents an -overall picture of this: -

- -

- -

Conventions Used in this Document

-Bacula is in a state of evolution, and as a consequence, -this manual will not always agree with the code. If an -item in this manual is preceded by an asterisk (*), it indicates -that the particular feature is not implemented. If it is preceded -by a plus sign (+), it indicates that the feature may be partially -implemented. -

If you are reading this manual as supplied in a released version -of the software, the above paragraph holds true. If you are reading -the online version of the manual, -http://www.bacula.org/rel-manual, please bear in mind that this version -describes the current version in development (in the SVN) that may -contain features not in the released version. Just the same, -it generally lags behind the code a bit. -

Quick Start

-To get Bacula up and running quickly, we recommend that you first -scan the Terminology section below, then quickly review the next chapter -entitled The Current State of Bacula, then the -Quick Start Guide to Bacula, which will -give you a quick overview of getting Bacula running. After -which, you should proceed to the -chapter on Installing Bacula, then How to Configure Bacula, -and finally the chapter on -Running Bacula. - -

Terminology

-To facilitate communication about this project, we provide here -the definitions of the terminology that we use. -
-
Administrator
-
The person or persons responsible for administrating the Bacula system.
- -
Backup
-
We use the term Backup to refer to a Bacula Job that saves files.
- -
Bootstrap File
-
The bootstrap file is an ASCII file - containing a compact form of commands that allow Bacula or - the stand-alone file extraction utility (bextract) to - restore the contents of one or more Volumes, for example, the - current state of a system just backed up. With a bootstrap file, - Bacula can restore your system without a Catalog. You can - create a bootstrap file from a Catalog to extract any file or - files you wish.
- -
Catalog
-
The Catalog is used to store summary information - about the Jobs, Clients, and Files that were backed up and on - what Volume or Volumes. The information saved in the Catalog - permits the administrator or user to determine what jobs were - run, their status as well as the important characteristics - of each file that was backed up. The Catalog is an online resource, - but does not contain the data for the files backed up. Most of - the information stored in the catalog is also stored on the - backup volumes (i.e. tapes). Of course, the tapes will also have - a copy of the file in addition to the File Attributes (see below). -

The catalog feature is one part of Bacula that distinguishes - it from simple backup and archive programs such as dump - and tar. -

- -
Client
-
In Bacula's terminology, the word Client - refers to the machine being backed up, and it is synonymous - with the File services or File daemon, and quite often, we - refer to it as the FD. A Client is defined in a configuration - file resource.
- -
Console
-
The program that interfaces to the Director allowing - the user or system administrator to control Bacula.
- -
Daemon
-
Unix terminology for a program that is always present in - the background to carry out a designated task. On Windows systems, as - well as some Linux systems, daemons are called Services.
- -
Directive
-
The term directive is used to refer to a statement - or a record within a Resource in a configuration file that - defines one specific thing. For example, the Name directive - defines the name of the Resource.
- -
Director
-
The main Bacula server daemon that schedules and directs all - Bacula operations. Occassionally, we refer to the Director as DIR.
- -
Differential
-
A backup that includes all files changed since the last - Full save started. Note, other backup programs may define this differently.
- -
File Attributes
-
The File Attributes are all the information - necessary about a file to identify it and all its properties such as - size, creation date, modification date, permissions, etc. Normally, the - attributes are handled entirely by Bacula so that the user never - needs to be concerned about them. The attributes do not include the - file's data. - -
File Daemon
-
The daemon running on the client - computer to be backed up. This is also referred to as the File - services, and sometimes as the Client services or the FD. - -
FileSet
-
A FileSet is a Resource contained in a configuration - file that defines the files to be backed up. It consists - of a list of included files or directories, a list of excluded files, and - how the file is to be stored (compression, encryption, signatures). - For more details, see the - FileSet Resource definition - in the Director chapter of this document.
- -
Incremental
-
A backup that includes all files changed since the - last Full, Differential, or Incremental backup started. It is normally - specified on the Level directive within the Job resource - definition, or in a Schedule resourc.
- -
Job
-
A Bacula Job is a configuration resource that defines - the work that Bacula must perform to backup or restore a particular - Client. It consists of the Type (backup, restore, verify, - etc), the Level (full, incremental,...), the FileSet, - and Storage the files are to be backed up (Storage device, - Media Pool). For more details, see the - Job Resource definition - in the Director chapter of this document.
- -
Monitor
-
The program that interfaces to the all the daemons - allowing the user or system administrator to monitor Bacula status.
- -
Resource
-
A resource is a part of a configuration file that - defines a specific unit of information that is available to Bacula. - For example, the Job resource defines all the properties of - a specific Job: name, schedule, Volume pool, backup type, backup - level, ...
- -
Restore
-
A restore is a configuration resource that - describes the operation of recovering a file (lost or damaged) from - backup media. It is the inverse of a save, except that in most - cases, a restore will normally have a small set of files to restore, - while normally a Save backs up all the files on the system. Of - course, after a disk crash, Bacula can be called upon to do - a full Restore of all files that were on the system.
- -
Schedule
-
A Schedule is a configuration resource that - defines when the Bacula Job will be scheduled for - execution. To use the Schedule, the Job resource will refer to - the name of the Schedule. For more details, see the Schedule Resource - definition in the Director chapter of this document.
- -
Service
-
This is Windows terminology for a daemon -- see - above. It is now frequently used in Unix environments as well.
- -
Storage Coordinates
-
The information returned from the - Storage Services that uniquely locates a file on a backup medium. It - consists of two parts: one part pertains to each file saved, and the - other part pertains to the whole Job. Normally, this information is - saved in the Catalog so that the user doesn't need specific knowledge - of the Storage Coordinates. The Storage Coordinates include the - File Attributes (see above) plus the unique location of the information on - the backup Volume.
- -
Storage Daemon
-
The Storage daemon, sometimes referred to as - the SD, is the code that writes the attributes and data to a storage - Volume (usually a tape or disk).
- -
Session
-
Normally refers to the internal conversation between - the File daemon and the Storage daemon. The File daemon opens a - session with the Storage daemon to save a FileSet, or to restore - it. A session has a one to one correspondence to a Bacula Job (see - above).
- -
Verify
-
A verify is a job that compares the current file - attributes to the attributes that have previously been stored in the - Bacula Catalog. This feature can be used for detecting changes to - critical system files similar to what Tripwire does. One - of the major advantages of using Bacula to do this is that - on the machine you want protected such as a server, you can run - just the File daemon, and the Director, Storage daemon, and Catalog - reside on a different machine. As a consequence, if your server is - ever compromised, it is unlikely that your verification database - will be tampered with. -

Verify can also be used to check that the most recent Job - data written to a Volume agrees with what is stored in the Catalog - (i.e. it compares the file attributes), *or it can check the - Volume contents against the original files on disk.

- -
*Archive
-
An Archive operation is done after a Save, and it - consists of removing the Volumes on which data is saved from active - use. These Volumes are marked as Archived, and many no longer be - used to save files. All the files contained on an Archived Volume - are removed from the Catalog. NOT YET IMPLEMENTED.
- -
*Update
-
An Update operation causes the files on the remote - system to be updated to be the same as the host system. This is - equivalent to an rdist capability. NOT YET IMPLEMENTED. -
- -
Retention Period
-
There are various kinds of retention - periods that Bacula recognizes. The most important are the - File Retention Period, Job Retention Period, and the - Volume Retention Period. Each of these retention periods - applies to the time that specific records will be kept in the - Catalog database. This should not be confused with the time that - the data saved to a Volume is valid.

The File Retention Period - determines the time that File records are kept in the catalog - database. This period is important because the volume of the - database File records by far use the most storage space in the - database. As a consequence, you must ensure that regular - "pruning" of the database file records is done. (See - the Console retention command for more details on this - subject).

The Job Retention Period is the length of time that - Job records will be kept in the database. Note, all the File - records are tied to the Job that saved those files. The File - records can be purged leaving the Job records. In this case, - information will be available about the jobs that ran, but not the - details of the files that were backed up. Normally, when a Job - record is purged, all its File records will also be purged.

The - Volume Retention Period is the minimum of time that a Volume will be - kept before it is reused. Bacula will normally never - overwrite a Volume that contains the only backup copy of a file. - Under ideal conditions, the Catalog would retain entries for all - files backed up for all current Volumes. Once a Volume is - overwritten, the files that were backed up on that Volume are - automatically removed from the Catalog. However, if there is a very - large pool of Volumes or a Volume is never overwritten, the Catalog - database may become enormous. To keep the Catalog to a manageable - size, the backup information should removed from the Catalog after - the defined File Retention Period. Bacula provides the - mechanisms for the catalog to be automatically pruned according to - the retention periods defined.

- -
Scan
-
A Scan operation causes the contents of a Volume or a - series of Volumes to be scanned. These Volumes with the information - on which files they contain are restored to the Bacula Catalog. - Once the information is restored to the Catalog, the files contained - on those Volumes may be easily restored. This function is - particularly useful if certain Volumes or Jobs have exceeded - their retention period and have been pruned or purged from the - Catalog. Scanning data from Volumes into the Catalog is done - by using the bscan program. See the - bscan section of the Bacula Utilities Chapter of this manual - for more details.
- -
Volume
-
A Volume is an archive unit, normally a tape or - a named disk file where Bacula stores the data from one or more - backup jobs. All Bacula Volumes have a software label written to - the Volume by Bacula so that it identify what Volume it is really - reading. (Normally there should be no confusion with disk files, - but with tapes, it is easy to mount the wrong one).
-
- -

What Bacula is Not

-Bacula is a backup, restore and verification program and is not a -complete disaster recovery system in itself, but it can be a key part -of one if you plan carefully and follow the instructions included in the Disaster Recovery Chapter of this manual. -

-With proper planning, as mentioned in the Disaster Recovery chapter -Bacula can be a central component of your disaster recovery -system. For example, if you have created an emergency boot disk, a -Bacula Rescue disk to save the current partitioning information of your -hard disk, and maintain a complete Bacula backup, it is possible to -completely recover your system from "bare metal". -

-If you have used the WriteBootstrap record in your job or some -other means to save a valid bootstrap file, you will be able to use it -to extract the necessary files (without using the catalog or manually -searching for the files to restore). - -

Interactions Between the Bacula Services

-The following block diagram shows the typical interactions -between the Bacula Services for a backup job. Each block -represents in general a separate process (normally a daemon). -In general, the Director oversees the flow of information. It also -maintains the Catalog. -
