Release Notes for Bacula 1.36.2
Bacula code: Total files = 398 Total lines = 117,915 (*.h *.c *.in)
Major Changes to version 1.36.2:
- Applied all fixes for bugs since version 1.36.1 (see below)
- Added new directives from 1.37 code (see below).
- Applied Tim's patch for ACLS.
- Eight new options keywords in a FileSet resource:
ignorecase, fstype, hfsplussupport, wilddir, wildfile, regexdir,
and regexfile, hardlinks. See below for details.
- Fix deadlock in multiple simultaneous jobs.
- Fix tape "truncation"/"number of files" after restore bug.
- Fix ClientRun jobs on Win32 to faile if the
return code is not zero.
New Directives in 1.36.2:
- New Options keywords in a FileSet directive:
- 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.
- 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.
New Commands:
- None since 1.36.1
Items to note for 1.36.2!!!
- Dan has reminded us that the arguments for make_catalog_backup
changed from 1.34.x to 1.36.1. The old arguments were typically
"-U bacula". The new arguments are typically "bacula bacula",
where the first is the database name, and the second is the
user name.
Patches applied:
03Dec04 1.36.1-pool.patch
This patch should hold jobs in the Director's start queue if
more than one simultaneous backup job wants to use the same
Storage device with two different Pools (i.e. 2 Volumes).
03Dec04 1.16.1-slots.patch
This patch should fix "update slots" with two different
magazines in different pools by checking the pool when zapping
the InChanger.
18Dec04 1.36.1-spool.patch
This patch fixes the despooling size printed in the Job
report. Previously, it reported the total size for the
device. This patch makes it report the size for the job.
21Dec04 1.36.1-store.patch
This patch fixes a problem with overriding storage daemon
specifications. Previously they were not always honored.
This implements more uniform handling. It also eliminates
an orphaned buffer situation using JobDefs.
21Dec04 1.36.1-reload.patch
This patch fixes Bacula so that it does not exit if there
is a syntax error in its conf file during a reload command.
24Dec04 1.36.1-fileset.patch
This patch should correct a seg fault in the FD that occurs
at the end of a job when the job uses old style include/excludes.
Old style include/excludes are deprecated and should be
converted to the new style as soon as possible.
30Jan05 1.36.1-acl.patch
This patch fixes some typos with ACL checking that results
in the incorrect name being used for the check.
This fixes possible security problems with unwanted
access by restricted consoles.
15Feb05 1.36.1-truncate.patch
This patch fixes a bug where a tape gets "truncated" after
doing a restore. The number of files in the catalog do not
agree with what Bacula thinks is on tape, then the tape is
marked in error.
===
Items to note for version 1.36.1:
- The output from Job reports has been modified to include the
seconds on the start/end times, the Storage device used, and to
indent the output differently.
- If you created a PostgreSQL database under version 1.36.0, there
are two things you might want to do. 1. manually remove some
of the File table indexes to improve backup performance. See the
make_postgresql_tables script. 2. run fix_postgresql_tables (in
src/cats and updatedb) to correct a table. This is necessary only
if you are creating disk Volumes greater than 2GB.
- As of 1.35.5 you MUST do a database update.
cd scripts-dir (or src/cats)
./update_bacula_tables
- All daemons should be compatible with 1.34 with the exception
of the new FileSet features such as regular expressions.
- Regular expressions are not supported in the Win32 FD.
Major Changes to version 1.36.1:
- There is a new Win32 pebuilder rescue disk thanks to Scott. This
is worth the effort to checkout.
- A number of indexes have been removed from the PostgreSQL
database to improve performance during backups. You may need to
add these indexes if you do Verifies. See the scripts.
- We now have a Gentoo ebuild -- thanks Scott.
- There are a number of new ./configure options for the
bimagemgr. Please see the documentation or ./configure --help
- The RedHat autostart scripts disable using /lib/tls. If you
don't want this you will need to turn it off.
- Corrected a problem with the default SD and FD conf files that
incorrectly set Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 1. This prevented
running a job and obtaining the status at the same time.
- All daemon messages are now prefixed with a short date/time,
and queued messages (generated in the comm routines) have the
time the message was generated rather than the time the message
was sent (usually much later).
- Fixed a bug with the autochanger code not respecting the InChanger
flag.
Other Items:
- It is now possible to build the Rescue CDROM using a pre-installed
static Bacula FD.
- Corrected a bug in the traceback code when Bacula was executed without
a path. Tracebacks should now work in more cases.
- Corrected a typo in the traceback script.
- Fixed the mtx autochanger script so that it correctly waits on
Linux systems (if you manually enable the code).
- Added grant all on cdimages for PostgreSQL users of bimagemgr.
- The actual Job start time is now correctly recorded in the catalog.
- You can now specify a JobId (or multiple ones separated by commas) on
the restore command line.
- A -d50 will now turn on lots of debug code if you are having
authentication errors.
- Found a workaround to a /lib/tls pthreads bug (a library seg fault).
- Added an ALERT message class for Alert messages.
- Fixed a seg fault in the restore tree routine when attempting
to select certain files in the root directory.
- Allow other jobs to request new Volumes while operator intervention
is needed -- previously all stalled.
- Enhancements to btape test (don't loop if certain tape errors occur).
- Improvements to the Win32 install.
