This is, of course, correct and desirable, + but it is different from older Bacula versions that could inappropriately + prune jobs. Pruning of volumes is not affected. + +Building Bat: +------------- +To build Bat, you need Qt4 version 4.6.2. If you build with any other +version it is likely not to work. If you do not have version 4.6.2, on +your system, you can download the Bacula depkgs_qt version 16Dec10. + +Packaging the SQL backend: +-------------------------- +The main Bacula Director code is independent of the SQL backend +in this version. This means that the Bacula Director can be packaged +by itself, then each of the different SQL backends supported can +be packaged separately. It is possible to build all the DB backends +at the same time. + +- configure can be run with multiple database configure options. + --with-sqlite3 + --with-mysql + --with-postgresql + +Order of testing for database is +- postgresql +- mysql +- sqlite3 + +Each configured backend generates a libbaccats--.so +A dummy catalog library is created named libbaccats-version.so + +At configure time the first detected backend is used as the so called default +backend and at install time the dummy libbaccats-.so is replaced with +the default backend type. + +If you configure all 3 backends you get 3 backend libraries and the postgresql +gets installed as the default. When you want to switch the default you can +copy one of the 3 backend libraries over the libbaccats-.so e.g. + +cp libbaccats-postgresql-.so libbaccats-.so + +And update the default backend in the following files: + +create_bacula_database +drop_bacula_database +drop_bacula_tables +grant_bacula_privileges +make_bacula_tables +make_catalog_backup +update_bacula_tables + +New Catalog format in version 5.2.0 and greater +----------------------------------------------- +This release of Bacula uses a new catalog format. We provide a set of +scripts that permit to convert a 5.0.x (version 12) catalog to 5.2.1 (version +14). The Bacula project rpm spec files have been modified to +detect the database change and do the upgrade for you. We strongly +recommend that you save a copy of your existing database before upgrading +using rpms. + +The simplest way to upgrade the database assuming you are building from +source (i.e. manually): +1. Stop any current version of Bacula from running. +2. Save a copy of your existing database. +3. Configure, build, and install the 5.2.1 version of Bacula + Note the new ./configure options in the manuals see the link + at the bottom of this file. +4. cd +5. ./update_bacula_tables +6. If you have multiple catalogs, edit the update_bacula_tables + script and put the name of another database, and then + execute the script again. Repeat this until all Bacula + catalogs have been updated. +7. Start the new Bacula. If everything worked, it should + not print any error messages. + +If you start from scratch, you don't need to run the update_bacula_tables +script because the create_bacula_tables script automatically creates the new +table format. However, if you are using a version of Bacula older than 5.0.0 +(e.g. 3.0.3) then you need to run the update_bacula_tables script that will +be found in the /src/cats directory after you run the ./configure +command. As mentioned above, before running this script, please backup your +catalog database, and when you do running it, be sure shutdown Bacula and be +aware that running the script can take some time depending on your database +size. + +================================================================ + +Changes: + +Speed and Memory Usage Enhancements: +- Implement LZO compression algorithm (need lzo2 headers to activate this option) +- New Pruning algoritm -- safer and faster +- Use of PostgreSQL cursor when doing large queries, should reduce the + memory usage during restore and accurate backups. +- limit command in some list commands +- Bacula Virtual File System for fast catalog access +- Faster crc32 algorithm + +Security Enhancements: +- Additional security against injection of illegal characters +- Fix possible fnmatch problem + +Features Enhancements: +- Improvements in ACL and xattr handling on additional platforms: + AIX, Darwind, FreeBSD, HPUX, IRIX, Solaris, Tru64 +- Tray monitor for Windows +- New SQL backend and ./configure that permits building multiple catalog + backends in one build, and has the main Bacula core code totally independent + of the SQL backend, which should simplify packaging (only the + libbacsql.so/dll needs to be changed to switch from one database backend + to another (e.g. MySQL to PostgreSQL). +- Indent lsmark during restore +- Disable batch insert config item +- Director selection option in bconsole +- restorejob command in bconsole +- Many additional features for bat such as "brestore" panel +- The old bat version browser has been turned off since it does not + work correctly and the brestore panel provides the same functionality +- Improved hash table for hard links +- Additional script variable editing such as %b (JobBytes), %F (JobFiles) + and %h (Client Address) + +Other Enhancements: +- Includes better handling for Windows repares points, mount points, and + junction points. +- New database format +- Many new plugin API features +- Improved memory handling for restores +- Significant stability enhancements to bat +- xattr/ACL restore failure are now printed as Warning +- A few path name length limits in Windows have been removed. + + +=========================================================================== ;;;; + Kern;;;06 August 2010 at 19:15 CET We have released Bacula Version 5.0.3 to Source Forge diff --git a/docs/home-page/en/news.txt b/docs/home-page/en/news.txt index b6773e56..ad59857b 100644 --- a/docs/home-page/en/news.txt +++ b/docs/home-page/en/news.txt @@ -1,4 +1,4 @@ -Kern;;;30 October 2010 at 14:50 CET +Kern;;;30 October 2011 at 14:50 CET We have released Bacula Version 5.2.1 to Source Forge @@ -197,6 +197,7 @@ Other Enhancements: =========================================================================== ;;;; + Kern;;;06 August 2010 at 19:15 CET We have released Bacula Version 5.0.3 to Source Forge diff --git a/docs/home-page/es/news.txt b/docs/home-page/es/news.txt index 0e44d392..ad59857b 100644 --- a/docs/home-page/es/news.txt +++ b/docs/home-page/es/news.txt @@ -1,73 +1,203 @@ -kern;;;07 August 2010 at 21:55 CET - - Bacula Developer's Conference - 27-28 September 2010 - Yverdon-les-Bains - Switzerland - -Are you interested in: - -- Meeting the Bacula developers in person. -- Learning how we maintain the source code. -- Hearing presentations about Bacula from the developers. -- Learning about and helping define the Bacula roadmap. -- Giving feedback or ideas directly to the developers. -- Learning more about Bacula Systems. -- Hearing from Bacula users. - -If so, you should know that there will be a Bacula Developer's conference in -Yverdon, Switzerland (about 1.5 hour by train from Geneva Airport) on the 27th -and 28th of September.

When you want to switch the default you can +copy one of the 3 backend libraries over the libbaccats-.so e.g. + +cp libbaccats-postgresql-.so libbaccats-.so + +And update the default backend in the following files: + +create_bacula_database +drop_bacula_database +drop_bacula_tables +grant_bacula_privileges +make_bacula_tables +make_catalog_backup +update_bacula_tables + +New Catalog format in version 5.2.0 and greater +----------------------------------------------- +This release of Bacula uses a new catalog format. We provide a set of +scripts that permit to convert a 5.0.x (version 12) catalog to 5.2.1 (version +14). The Bacula project rpm spec files have been modified to +detect the database change and do the upgrade for you. We strongly +recommend that you save a copy of your existing database before upgrading +using rpms. + +The simplest way to upgrade the database assuming you are building from +source (i.e. manually): +1. Stop any current version of Bacula from running. +2. Save a copy of your existing database. +3. Configure, build, and install the 5.2.1 version of Bacula + Note the new ./configure options in the manuals see the link + at the bottom of this file. +4. cd +5. ./update_bacula_tables +6. If you have multiple catalogs, edit the update_bacula_tables + script and put the name of another database, and then + execute the script again. Repeat this until all Bacula + catalogs have been updated. +7. Start the new Bacula. If everything worked, it should + not print any error messages. + +If you start from scratch, you don't need to run the update_bacula_tables +script because the create_bacula_tables script automatically creates the new +table format. However, if you are using a version of Bacula older than 5.0.0 +(e.g. 3.0.3) then you need to run the update_bacula_tables script that will +be found in the /src/cats directory after you run the ./configure +command. As mentioned above, before running this script, please backup your +catalog database, and when you do running it, be sure shutdown Bacula and be +aware that running the script can take some time depending on your database +size. + +================================================================ + +Changes: + +Speed and Memory Usage Enhancements: +- Implement LZO compression algorithm (need lzo2 headers to activate this option) +- New Pruning algoritm -- safer and faster +- Use of PostgreSQL cursor when doing large queries, should reduce the + memory usage during restore and accurate backups. +- limit command in some list commands +- Bacula Virtual File System for fast catalog access +- Faster crc32 algorithm + +Security Enhancements: +- Additional security against injection of illegal characters +- Fix possible fnmatch problem + +Features Enhancements: +- Improvements in ACL and xattr handling on additional platforms: + AIX, Darwind, FreeBSD, HPUX, IRIX, Solaris, Tru64 +- Tray monitor for Windows +- New SQL backend and ./configure that permits building multiple catalog + backends in one build, and has the main Bacula core code totally independent + of the SQL backend, which should simplify packaging (only the + libbacsql.so/dll needs to be changed to switch from one database backend + to another (e.g. MySQL to PostgreSQL). +- Indent lsmark during restore +- Disable batch insert config item +- Director selection option in bconsole +- restorejob command in bconsole +- Many additional features for bat such as "brestore" panel +- The old bat version browser has been turned off since it does not + work correctly and the brestore panel provides the same functionality +- Improved hash table for hard links +- Additional script variable editing such as %b (JobBytes), %F (JobFiles) + and %h (Client Address) + +Other Enhancements: +- Includes better handling for Windows repares points, mount points, and + junction points. +- New database format +- Many new plugin API features +- Improved memory handling for restores +- Significant stability enhancements to bat +- xattr/ACL restore failure are now printed as Warning +- A few path name length limits in Windows have been removed. + + +=========================================================================== ;;;; + Kern;;;06 August 2010 at 19:15 CET We have released Bacula Version 5.0.3 to Source Forge -- 2.39.2
