Update bacula* to 1.38.0, provided by Geert Hendrickx. Release Notes for Bacula 1.38.0 Bacula code: Total files = 420 Total lines = 138,440 (*.h *.c *.in) 20,440 additional lines of code since version 1.36.3 Major Changes: - Fixed out of order Volumes in restore. - Improved algorithm for reserving drives in multiple drive autochangers. Autochange users MUST use the new Autochanger resource in the Storage daemon. - There is a new database format that is not compatible with previous databases. You must upgrade if converting from 1.36.x. No changes from version 1.37.30. - The Director, Storage daemon, and File daemons are Deamons are not compatible with prior versions. All FDs must be upgraded at the same time. - Support for ANSI/IBM labels. - Faster database inserts due to combining the MD5/SHA1 into the attributes record, eliminating one INSERT/file backed up. - Python Event support has been added. See below for configuration and details. The implementation is somewhat minimal, so the functionality is not complete. The Python interface has not been extensively tested, so please consider it BETA. - DVD writing support, using parts, and some new directives in the Device resource of the Storage configuration file thanks to Nicolas Boichat. Please note that this code is still BETA and should be carefully tested before using in production. - Seven new options keywords in a FileSet resource: ignorecase, fstype, hfsplussupport, wilddir, wildfile, regexdir, and regexfile thanks to Pruben Guldberg). See below for details. - Restore of all files for a Job or set of jobs even if the file records have been removed from the catalog. - Restore of a directory (non-recursive, i.e. only one level). - Support for TLS (ssl) between all the daemon connections thanks to Landon Fuller. - Any Volume in the Pool named Scratch may be reassigned to any other Pool when a new Volume is needed. - You may clone a Job and thus write (almost) the same data to multiple Volumes simultaneously (see below). Actually, any Job may start any other Job with this mechanism, so it also be used to group jobs. - Unicode filename support for Win32 (thanks to Thorsten Engel) - Volume Shadow Copy support for Win32 thus the capability to backup exclusively opened files (thanks to Thorsten Engel). A VSS enabled Win32 FD is available. You must explicitly turn on VSS with "Enable VSS = yes" in your FileSet resource. - New manual format with an index (thanks to Karl Cunningham). - New Web site format (thanks to Michael Scherer). - SQLite3 support. - Web-bacula, previously a separate project by Juan Luis Frances, is now included in the Bacula GUI release. This is a management level tool for reporting the state of Bacula jobs. - The code is now Internationalized so that it can be localized in native languages. Thanks to Nicolas Boichat. New Directives: - New Job directive "Prefer Mounted Volumes = yes|no" causes the SD to select either an Autochanger or a drive with a valid Volume already mounted in preference. If none is available, it will select the first available drive. - New Run directive in Job resource of DIR. It permits cloning of jobs. To clone a copy of the current job, use Run = "job-name level=%l since=\"%s\"" Note, job-name is normally the same name as the job that is running but there is no restriction on what you put. If you want to start the job by hand and use job overrides such as storage=xxx, realize that the job will be started with the default storage values not the overrides. The level=%l guarantees that the chosen level of the job is the same, and the since=... ensures that the job uses *exactly* the same time/date for incremental and differential jobs. The since=... is ignored when level=Full. A cloned job will not start additional clones, so it is not possible to recurse. - New Options keywords in a FileSet directive (backported to 1.36.3): - WildDir xxx Will do a wild card match against directories (files will not be matched). - WildFile xxx Will do a wild card match against files (directories will not be matched). - RegexDir xxx Will do a regular expression match against directories (files will not be matched). - RegexFile xxx Will do a regular expression match against files( directories will not be matched). - IgnoreCase = yes | no Will ignore case in wild card and regular expression matches. This is handy for Windows where filename case is not significant. - FsType = string where string is a filesystem type: ext2, jfs, ntfs, proc, reiserfs, xfs, usbdevfs, sysfs, smbfs, iso9660. For ext3 systems, use ext2. You may have multiple fstype directives and thus permit multiple filesystem types. If the type specified on the fstype directive does not match the filesystem for a particular directive, that directory will not be backed up. This directive can be used to prevent backing up non-local filesystems. - HFS Plus Support = yes | no If set, Mac OS X resource forks will be saved and restored. - Label Type = ANSI | IBM | Bacula Implemented in Director Pool resource and in SD Device resource. If it is specified in the SD Device resource, it will take precedence over the value passed from the Director to the SD. - Check Labels = yes | no Implemented in the SD Device resource. If you intend to read ANSI or IBM labels, this *must* be set. Even if the volume is not ANSI labeled, you can set this to yes, and Bacula will check the label type. - Scripts Directory = <directory> name. Defines the directory from which Bacula scripts will be called for events. In fact, Bacula appends this name to the standard Python list of search directories, so the script could also be in any of the Python system directories. - In FileSet, you can exclude backing up of hardlinks (if you have a lot, it can be very expensive), by using: HardLinks = no in the Options section. Patch supplied by David R Bosso. Thanks. - MaximumPartSize = bytes (SD, Device resource) Defines the maximum part size. - Requires Mount = Yes/No (SD, Device resource) Defines if the device require to be mounted to be read, and if it must be written in a special way. If it set, the following directives must be defined in the same Device resource: + Mount Point = directory Directory where the device must be mounted. + Mount Command = name-string Command that must be executed to mount the device. Before the command is executed, %a is replaced with the Archive Device, and %m with the Mount Point. + Unmount Command = name-string Command that must be executed to unmount the device. Before the command is executed, %a is replaced with the Archive Device, and %m with the Mount Point. + Write Part Command = name-string Command that must be executed to write a part to the device. Before the command is executed, %a is replaced with the Archive Device, %m with the Mount Point, %n with the current part number (0-based), and %v with the current part filename. + Free Space Command = name-string Command that must be executed to check how much free space is left on the device. Before the command is executed, %a is replaced with the Archive Device, %m with the Mount Point, %n with the current part number (0-based), and %v with the current part filename. - Write Part After Job = Yes/No (DIR, Job Resource, and Schedule Resource) If this directive is set to yes (default no), a new part file will be created after the job is finished. - A pile of new Directives to support TLS. Please see the TLS chapter of the manual. New Commands: - "python restart" restarts the Python interpreter. Rather brutal, make sure no Python scripts are running. This permits you to change a Python script and get Bacula to use the new script. New configure options: - --with-libintl-prefix for defining alternate locations for the NLS internationalization libraries. Not normally required. - --datadir for defining where the language files will be installed required only if you do not want the default /usr/share. Items to note!!! - If you use an Autochanger, you MUST update your SD conf file to use the new Autochanger resource. Otherwise, certain commands such as "update slots" may not work. - You must add --with-python=[DIR] to the configure command line if you want Python support. Python 2.2, 2.3 and 2.4 should be automatically detected if in the standard place. - When linking with --with-python, there are a few warnings that can be ignored. - You must either create a new catalog database or upgrade your old database. After installation, run from your scripts directory: ./upgrade_bacula_tables You can also find this script in the <bacula-source>/src/cats directory. - The Director, Storage daemon, and File daemons are Deamons are not compatible with prior versions. All FDs must be upgraded at the same time. - You must add --with-openssl to the configure command line if you want TLS communications encryption support. - Disk seeking during restores does not yet work correctly in all cases, so it is turned off. - Note, with gcc (GCC) 4.0.1 20050727 (Red Hat 4.0.1-5) on an AMD64 CPU running 64 bit CentOS4, there is a compiler bug that generates bad code that causes Bacula to segment fault. Typically you will see this in the Storage daemon first. The solution is to compile Bacula ensuring that no optimization is turned on (normally it is -O2). Other Items: - Security fixes for temp files created in mtx-changer, during ./configure, and during making of Rescue disk. - A new script, dvd-handler, in the scripts directory, which is designed to be used as parameters to Write Part Command and Free Space Command. They need the dvd+rw-tools to be installed (http://fy.chalmers.se/~appro/linux/DVD+RW/) AND, the growisofs program must be patched using the <bacula-source>/patches/dvd+rw-tools-5.21.4.10.8.bacula.patch You must have Python installed to run the scripts. - Part files support: File volumes can now be split into multiple files, called "parts". - For the details of the Python scripting support, please see the new Python Scripting chapter in the manual.

===========================================================================
Update Bacula to the 2.2.2 release. This includes a major upgrade since the 2.0.x series. Major new features include: - 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. Important upgrade notes are mentioned in the MESSAGE file. XXX Not (functionally) tested by myself, but Peter Eisch <peter@boku.net> (via pkgsrc-users@NetBSD.org) verified the patch in his setup.

You can find some useful scripts to create, update and drop the necessary
databases, privileges and tables in ${PREFIX}/libexec/bacula/.
Upgrade the bacula and bacula-* packages to bacula 2.0.0. This is a major update so the release notes are very long. Please refer to the website or the distfile for detailed release notes. The most important upgrade remarks are included in the MESSAGE file. As I'm not using bacula myself anymore, I won't be able to support PR's, so drop maintainership (though I will continue keeping bacula up-to-date if no one else takes over maintainership).

${PREFIX}/libexec/bacula/update_bacula_tables script. Later updates will
not require upgrading the database again.
Update bacula* to 1.38.0, provided by Geert Hendrickx. Release Notes for Bacula 1.38.0 Bacula code: Total files = 420 Total lines = 138,440 (*.h *.c *.in) 20,440 additional lines of code since version 1.36.3 Major Changes: - Fixed out of order Volumes in restore. - Improved algorithm for reserving drives in multiple drive autochangers. Autochange users MUST use the new Autochanger resource in the Storage daemon. - There is a new database format that is not compatible with previous databases. You must upgrade if converting from 1.36.x. No changes from version 1.37.30. - The Director, Storage daemon, and File daemons are Deamons are not compatible with prior versions. All FDs must be upgraded at the same time. - Support for ANSI/IBM labels. - Faster database inserts due to combining the MD5/SHA1 into the attributes record, eliminating one INSERT/file backed up. - Python Event support has been added. See below for configuration and details. The implementation is somewhat minimal, so the functionality is not complete. The Python interface has not been extensively tested, so please consider it BETA. - DVD writing support, using parts, and some new directives in the Device resource of the Storage configuration file thanks to Nicolas Boichat. Please note that this code is still BETA and should be carefully tested before using in production. - Seven new options keywords in a FileSet resource: ignorecase, fstype, hfsplussupport, wilddir, wildfile, regexdir, and regexfile thanks to Pruben Guldberg). See below for details. - Restore of all files for a Job or set of jobs even if the file records have been removed from the catalog. - Restore of a directory (non-recursive, i.e. only one level). - Support for TLS (ssl) between all the daemon connections thanks to Landon Fuller. - Any Volume in the Pool named Scratch may be reassigned to any other Pool when a new Volume is needed. - You may clone a Job and thus write (almost) the same data to multiple Volumes simultaneously (see below). Actually, any Job may start any other Job with this mechanism, so it also be used to group jobs. - Unicode filename support for Win32 (thanks to Thorsten Engel) - Volume Shadow Copy support for Win32 thus the capability to backup exclusively opened files (thanks to Thorsten Engel). A VSS enabled Win32 FD is available. You must explicitly turn on VSS with "Enable VSS = yes" in your FileSet resource. - New manual format with an index (thanks to Karl Cunningham). - New Web site format (thanks to Michael Scherer). - SQLite3 support. - Web-bacula, previously a separate project by Juan Luis Frances, is now included in the Bacula GUI release. This is a management level tool for reporting the state of Bacula jobs. - The code is now Internationalized so that it can be localized in native languages. Thanks to Nicolas Boichat. New Directives: - New Job directive "Prefer Mounted Volumes = yes|no" causes the SD to select either an Autochanger or a drive with a valid Volume already mounted in preference. If none is available, it will select the first available drive. - New Run directive in Job resource of DIR. It permits cloning of jobs. To clone a copy of the current job, use Run = "job-name level=%l since=\"%s\"" Note, job-name is normally the same name as the job that is running but there is no restriction on what you put. If you want to start the job by hand and use job overrides such as storage=xxx, realize that the job will be started with the default storage values not the overrides. The level=%l guarantees that the chosen level of the job is the same, and the since=... ensures that the job uses *exactly* the same time/date for incremental and differential jobs. The since=... is ignored when level=Full. A cloned job will not start additional clones, so it is not possible to recurse. - New Options keywords in a FileSet directive (backported to 1.36.3): - WildDir xxx Will do a wild card match against directories (files will not be matched). - WildFile xxx Will do a wild card match against files (directories will not be matched). - RegexDir xxx Will do a regular expression match against directories (files will not be matched). - RegexFile xxx Will do a regular expression match against files( directories will not be matched). - IgnoreCase = yes | no Will ignore case in wild card and regular expression matches. This is handy for Windows where filename case is not significant. - FsType = string where string is a filesystem type: ext2, jfs, ntfs, proc, reiserfs, xfs, usbdevfs, sysfs, smbfs, iso9660. For ext3 systems, use ext2. You may have multiple fstype directives and thus permit multiple filesystem types. If the type specified on the fstype directive does not match the filesystem for a particular directive, that directory will not be backed up. This directive can be used to prevent backing up non-local filesystems. - HFS Plus Support = yes | no If set, Mac OS X resource forks will be saved and restored. - Label Type = ANSI | IBM | Bacula Implemented in Director Pool resource and in SD Device resource. If it is specified in the SD Device resource, it will take precedence over the value passed from the Director to the SD. - Check Labels = yes | no Implemented in the SD Device resource. If you intend to read ANSI or IBM labels, this *must* be set. Even if the volume is not ANSI labeled, you can set this to yes, and Bacula will check the label type. - Scripts Directory = <directory> name. Defines the directory from which Bacula scripts will be called for events. In fact, Bacula appends this name to the standard Python list of search directories, so the script could also be in any of the Python system directories. - In FileSet, you can exclude backing up of hardlinks (if you have a lot, it can be very expensive), by using: HardLinks = no in the Options section. Patch supplied by David R Bosso. Thanks. - MaximumPartSize = bytes (SD, Device resource) Defines the maximum part size. - Requires Mount = Yes/No (SD, Device resource) Defines if the device require to be mounted to be read, and if it must be written in a special way. If it set, the following directives must be defined in the same Device resource: + Mount Point = directory Directory where the device must be mounted. + Mount Command = name-string Command that must be executed to mount the device. Before the command is executed, %a is replaced with the Archive Device, and %m with the Mount Point. + Unmount Command = name-string Command that must be executed to unmount the device. Before the command is executed, %a is replaced with the Archive Device, and %m with the Mount Point. + Write Part Command = name-string Command that must be executed to write a part to the device. Before the command is executed, %a is replaced with the Archive Device, %m with the Mount Point, %n with the current part number (0-based), and %v with the current part filename. + Free Space Command = name-string Command that must be executed to check how much free space is left on the device. Before the command is executed, %a is replaced with the Archive Device, %m with the Mount Point, %n with the current part number (0-based), and %v with the current part filename. - Write Part After Job = Yes/No (DIR, Job Resource, and Schedule Resource) If this directive is set to yes (default no), a new part file will be created after the job is finished. - A pile of new Directives to support TLS. Please see the TLS chapter of the manual. New Commands: - "python restart" restarts the Python interpreter. Rather brutal, make sure no Python scripts are running. This permits you to change a Python script and get Bacula to use the new script. New configure options: - --with-libintl-prefix for defining alternate locations for the NLS internationalization libraries. Not normally required. - --datadir for defining where the language files will be installed required only if you do not want the default /usr/share. Items to note!!! - If you use an Autochanger, you MUST update your SD conf file to use the new Autochanger resource. Otherwise, certain commands such as "update slots" may not work. - You must add --with-python=[DIR] to the configure command line if you want Python support. Python 2.2, 2.3 and 2.4 should be automatically detected if in the standard place. - When linking with --with-python, there are a few warnings that can be ignored. - You must either create a new catalog database or upgrade your old database. After installation, run from your scripts directory: ./upgrade_bacula_tables You can also find this script in the <bacula-source>/src/cats directory. - The Director, Storage daemon, and File daemons are Deamons are not compatible with prior versions. All FDs must be upgraded at the same time. - You must add --with-openssl to the configure command line if you want TLS communications encryption support. - Disk seeking during restores does not yet work correctly in all cases, so it is turned off. - Note, with gcc (GCC) 4.0.1 20050727 (Red Hat 4.0.1-5) on an AMD64 CPU running 64 bit CentOS4, there is a compiler bug that generates bad code that causes Bacula to segment fault. Typically you will see this in the Storage daemon first. The solution is to compile Bacula ensuring that no optimization is turned on (normally it is -O2). Other Items: - Security fixes for temp files created in mtx-changer, during ./configure, and during making of Rescue disk. - A new script, dvd-handler, in the scripts directory, which is designed to be used as parameters to Write Part Command and Free Space Command. They need the dvd+rw-tools to be installed (http://fy.chalmers.se/~appro/linux/DVD+RW/) AND, the growisofs program must be patched using the <bacula-source>/patches/dvd+rw-tools-5.21.4.10.8.bacula.patch You must have Python installed to run the scripts. - Part files support: File volumes can now be split into multiple files, called "parts". - For the details of the Python scripting support, please see the new Python Scripting chapter in the manual.

Upgrade the bacula and bacula-* packages to bacula 2.0.0. This is a major update so the release notes are very long. Please refer to the website or the distfile for detailed release notes. The most important upgrade remarks are included in the MESSAGE file. As I'm not using bacula myself anymore, I won't be able to support PR's, so drop maintainership (though I will continue keeping bacula up-to-date if no one else takes over maintainership).

The director and storage daemon systems must be upgraded simultaneously,
Update Bacula to the 2.2.2 release. This includes a major upgrade since the 2.0.x series. Major new features include: - 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. Important upgrade notes are mentioned in the MESSAGE file. XXX Not (functionally) tested by myself, but Peter Eisch <peter@boku.net> (via pkgsrc-users@NetBSD.org) verified the patch in his setup.

but you should be able to use an older file daemon with a newer director
and storage daemon if you do not use any of the new features.
