Release 1.38.7 (06Apr06) released 07Apr06
- Remove timed wait for VSS on Win2K3 as it is not yet implemented.
- Correct bacula.in script to reference bacula-ctl-xx in the sysconfig
directory rather than the bin directory.
patch-ak has been applied upstream.
Release Notes for Bacula 1.38.6:
New features:
- For autochanger get Scratch tape if in autochanger if
no appendable Volumes are available.
- New virtual disk autochanger. See scripts/disk-changer for
documentation.
- New optional Device resource directive in SD. 'Device Type =',
which may have types: File, DVD, Tape, or FIFO. This can
be useful for writing DVDs on FreeBSD where Bacula cannot
correctly detect the DVD.
- Faster restore tree building and uses less memory.
- The command line keyword job (or jobname) now refers to the
name of the job specified in the Job resource; jobid refers
as before to the non-unique numeric jobid; and ujobid refers
to the unique job identification that Bacula creates for each
job.
- The job report for Backups has a few more user friendly ways
of displaying the information.
- The wait command can now be made to wait for jobids.
- New command line keywords are permitted in update volume. They
are Inchanger=yes/no, slot=nn.
- Add two new console commands: enable job=<job-name> and
disable job=<job-name>. When a job is disabled, it will not
be started by the scheduler. If you disable a job and restart
Bacula or reload the .conf file, the job will be re-enabled.
- Add a new Job resource directive "enable = yes|no".
Major bug fixes:
- Fix race condition in multiple-drive autochangers where
both drives want the same Volume.
- Do not allow opening default catalog for restricted console
if it is not in ACL.
- Writable FIFOs now work for restore.
- ACLs are now checked in all dot commands.
- Multiple drive autochangers and multiple different autochangers
should now work correctly (no race conditions for Volume names,
update slots use correct StorageId).
- Fix bug where drive was always reserved if a restore job failed
while in the reservation process.
Release Notes for Bacula 1.38.5:
Release 1.38.5 released 19Jan06:
- Apply label barcodes fix supplied by Rudolf Cejka.
- Modify standard rpm installation to set SD group to disk
so that SD will by default have access to tape drives.
- Allow users to specify user/group and start options
for each daemon in /etc/sysconf/bacula file.
Changes to 1.38.4 released 17Jan06:
- The main changes are to the Director and the Storage daemon, thus there is no
need to update your File daemons. Just the same, I do recommend running with
the release 1.38.3 Win32 FD or later.
- 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, ...).
- Add periodic (every 24 hours) garbage collection of memory pool by releasing
free buffers.
- Correct bug counting sized (for display only) in smartall.c
- Print FD mempool stats if debug > 0 rather than 5.
- Correct bug in alist.c that re-allocated the list if the number of items goes
to zero.
- Move the reservation system thread locking to the top level so that one job
at a time tries all possible drives before waiting.
- Implement a reservation 'fail' message queue that is built and destroyed on
each pass through the reservation system. These messages are displayed in a
'Jobs waiting to reserve a drive' list during a 'status storage='. Note,
multiple messages will generally print for each JobId because they represent
the different problems with either the same drive or different drives. If
this output proves too confusing of voluminous, I will display it only when
debug level 1 or greater is enabled in the SD.
- Add enable/disable job=<job-name>. This command prevents the specified job
from being scheduled. Even when disabled, the job can be manually started
from the console.
- During 'update slots' clear all InChanger flags where the StorageId is zero
(old Media records).
- Fix autochanger code to strip leading spaces from returned slots number.
Remove bc from chio-changer.
- Back port a bit of 1.39 crypto code to reduce diffs.
- Fix first call to autochanger that missed close()ing the drive. Put close()
just before each run_program(). Fixes Arno's changer bug.
- Add PoolId to Job record when updating it at job start time.
- Pull in more code from 1.39 so that there are fewer file differences (the new
ua_dotcmds.c, base64.h, crypto.h hmac.c jcr.c (dird and lib) lib.h md5.h
parse_conf.c util.c. Aside from ua_dotcmds.c these are mostly crypto upgrades.
- Implement new method of walking the jcr chain. The incr/dec of the use_count
is done within the walking routines. This should prevent a jcr from being
freed from under the walk routines.
as bacula-1.38.3.tar.gz. The mirrors were probably not up-to-date yet when I
updated the bacula package (which was right after the release announcement).
The Bacula developers have acknowledged the problem and have modified their
beta release scripts so that future beta releases will have unique names like
bacula-beta-<version>-<date>.tar.gz.
Don't do the DIST_SUBDIR trick as the mirrors synced shortly after that.
ftp.netbsd.org has the correct file.
This fixes PR pkg/32477.
Changes to 1.38.3:
- This is mainly a bug release fix. In addition, the multiple drive reservation
algorithm has been rewritten.
- In addition, the method of handling waiting for tapes to be mounted and the
mount messages has been modified. (the above two items are a potential
source of problems).
- Simplify code in askdir.c that waits for creating an appendable volume so
that it can handle multiple returns from the wait code.
- Modify the wait code to permit multiple returns.
- Return a zero when "autochanger drives" is called and it is not an
autochanger.
- Make rewind_dev() a method taking a DCR as an argument. This permits closing
and reopening the drive if the rewind fails as happens if the drive was
loaded while the file descriptor was open. This refreshes the file
descriptor.
- Remove the ST_OPENED flag and always rely on fd < 0 for knowing if the device
is open or not. This should eliminate Arnos problem.
- Return error if reserve cannot find at least one suitable device.
- Make wait_for_sysop() return correct state information.
- Fix Win32 state file problem. write was not using compat code. This should
fix bug #500.
- Modify gui on command to set only GUI mode and not batch.
- Modify .messages command to always print messages regardless of the mode.
- If GUI mode is on, suppress automatic printing of You have messages.
- Modify restore command in wx-console to set gui on and to use only .messages
instead of messages. Hopefully this fixes bug #514.
- Implement load balancing code with multiple drive autochangers.
- Rewrite reservation algorithm again. Rename variables to be more logical, add
HEARTBEAT with Director, allow cancel of jobs stuck in reservation, add last
resourt any_drive.
- Fix seg fault if user labels a drive directly bug #513
- Remove quotes around Version as it breaks things.
- Merge in Aleksandar Milivojevic's mods to the spec file.
- Apply sparse code fix for raw drives and fifos. Bug 506
- Thorsten fixed Unicode cd problem with wx-console bug 505.
- Correct reservation system to do a last ditch try for any mounted volume,
then anyone anywhere.
- Updates to ssh-tunnel from Joshua Kugler.
- Added a report.pl program from Jonas Bjorklund.
- Simplify the O_NONBLOCK open() code for tape drives, and always open
nonblocking.
- Do not wait for open() if EIO returned (shouldn't happen).
- Eliminate 3 argument to tape open().
- Correct the slot # edited in the 3995 Bad autochanger unload message.
- With -S on bscan (show progress) do not divide by zero.
- Make cancel pthread_cond_signal() pthread_cond_broadcast().
- When dcr is freed, also broadcast dev->wait_next_vol signal.
- Remove unused code in wait_for_device.
- Make wait_for_device() always return after 60 seconds of wait.
- Use localhost if no network configured
- Eliminated duplicate MaxVolBytes in cat update -- bug 509.
- Update specs to include mysql4 define.
- Return rec->FileIndex in dcr->VolLastIndex for normal and partial records in
read_record(). This allows bscan to get FileIndex at EOT correct.
- Fix butil.c to correctly set dcr -- fixes seg fault in bls.
- Apply patch supplied by user (slightly modified) to fix correct detection of
holes in block devices and FIFOs. Bug # 506.
- Apply patch supplied by user (slightly modified) to fix SD hang with multiple
pools and bad client IP. Fixes bug # 508.
- Add nagios plugin to the examples directory. Submitted by Christian Masopust.
- Remove warning message about multiple saves of hardlinked files from
find_one.c as it can generate too many warning messages.
- Reset timeout values before select() per patch from Frank Sweetser for
problems with non-blocking sockets.
- Unlink the state file if either reading or writing it gets errors. Hopefully
this will fix Win32 exit problems.
- Get next volume from Scratch pool before creating a volume.
- Set new Pool defaults in Vol when moved from Scratch Pool.
- Remove argument from create_bacula_database for SQLite as it caused an error.
- Fix reservation so that mutexes are properly applied.
- Rework reservation algorithm so that two drives can be used at the same time.
- 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". My use case is to be able to preview the
next scheduled job (and the next tape to be used) on fridays if there are no
scheduled jobs during the weekend.
- Fix font code in gnome2 console user patch. Fixes bug #501.
- Fix malformatted bnet error message that caused seg fault fixes bug 502

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.
Change BACULA_PIDDIR from /var/run/bacula to /var/run.
Add CONFIGURE_ARGS+=--with-sbin-perm=0755.
Remove tcp_wrappers bl3.mk, configure doesn't check for it,
and even if explicitly enabled, build breaks.
Ride recent PKGREVISION bump.
This contains the update to 1.36.3 and an additional security fix,
thus the nb1.
Changes since 1.36.0:
Changes to 1.36.3 released 23Apr05:
22Apr05
- Correct return type of ftello to avoid overflow --
thanks to Peter Eriksson.
13Apr05
- Fix seg fault if Name directive missing in Job resource.
12Apr05
- Add new LaTeX doc to 1.36.2 branch.
- Fix SuSE autostart routines to use /etc/init.d instead
of /etc/rc.d/init.d.
- Increase index size on File table Name and Path table Path
to improve performance.
- Second fix for not zeroing SD pointers on restarted job.
- Turn off old style Include/Excludes.
01Apr05
- Use fseeko and ftello so that attributes can exceed 4GB
- Flush console output after every line.
- Turn off Multiple Connections in catalog resource, which
causes corruped databases. It is silently ignored.
- Drop support for old style Include/Exclude. There is a
perl script that will convert them.
- Inhibit trying to reset attributes on a Win32 drive.
18Mar05 1.36.2-store.patch
- This patch fails a job if no Storage resource is specified and
the job attempts to call the SD.
18Mar05 1.36.2-reschedule.patch
- This patch should fix a Segfault bug when a job is rescheduled.
The storage pointers were being released when they should not
have been.
17Mar05 1.36.2-restore-speed.patch
- This patch will fix a subtle bug that was introduced in 1.36.2
which causes Bacula to be very slow restoring a few files. This
is because it reads completely to the end of the Volume rather
than stopping when all the files on the Volume are loaded. The
introduction of the bug was caused by a patch that fixed
Bacula truncating tapes after a restore.
Note that all source files will be rebuilt during the make.
16Mar05 1.36.2-console.patch
- This patch causes the output directed to a file to be
flushed after every line. This is a bit overkill, IMO, but
a user complained about it.
15Mar05 1.36.2-netbsd.patch
- This patch corrects a compile problem because of no statfs()
on NetBSD. The patch was submitted by kardel with bug 258.
09Mar05 1.36.2-win32-drive.patch
- This patch will prevent the Win32 FD from printing an error message
when it attempts to restore the permissions for a drive (which Win32
doesn't permit). The error is harmless in any case.
04Mar05 1.36.2-level.patch
- This patch should fix a problem with th %l editing in the
client (FD) where it edited nothing. With this fix, it should
edit "since".
04Mar05 1.36.2-pool.patch
- This patch corrects a problem preventing multiple
simultaneous jobs from different pools.
Changes to 1.36.2 released 28Feb05:
27Feb05
- Fix pointer to stack variable in Verify jobs.
- Change reference to DEV_BSIZE to B_DEV_BSIZE to

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. Bacula source
code has been released under the GPL version 2 license.
To Do: Split client/server package, add a frontend (gnome) package.
