Informacje szczegółowe
Release Notes for Bacula Enterprise 18.0
==========================================
Both the Director (Dir) and all Storage Daemons (SDs) must be upgraded to version 18.0 as they
are not compatible with earlier versions.
Catalog format in version 18.0 and greater:
-------------------------------------------
The major release 18.0 of Bacula uses a new catalog format. We
provide a set of scripts that convert 6.6.x and earlier catalog versions to the
new 18.0 format (1027). See the "migrationNewMajorVersionBacula" for
detailed instructions on the migration process.
The database upgrade from 1026 to 1027 is fast and simple for most users.
The Bacula Enterprise RPM spec files have been modified to detect the database
change and to perform the upgrade for you (from 8.10, 10.0, 10.2, etc.). We strongly
recommend that you save a copy of your existing database before upgrading using
RPMs. If you want to have more control over the catalog upgrade step when
upgrading using RPMs, you may want to contact the Bacula Systems support team
to get the update_bacula_tables script from the updated package and run it
before the RPM installation step, or you can stop the database server before the
upgrade.
The Bacula Enterprise Debian and Ubuntu packages have been designed to upgrade
the catalog with the dbconfig database management tool. The
update_bacula_tables script from the Director package can be used to upgrade
the catalog manually.
If you upgrade the BWeb Management Suite from 8.x and you use a MySQL catalog,
you must first update the BWeb SQL tables with the script upgrade-8.8_10.2_mysql.sql.
If you are starting from scratch, you will not need to run the
update_bacula_tables script since the create_bacula_tables script
creates the tables in the new format automatically.
Important notes:
----------------
If you upgrade from a new 16.0.0-5 installation to 16.0.6-8
with a MySQL catalog, the following SQL command must be executed in
order to use the JobHisto table and features:
ALTER TABLE JobHisto
ADD COLUMN RealStartTime DATETIME,
ADD COLUMN isVirtualFull - TINYINT - default 0,
ADD COLUMN CompressRatio - float - default 0,
ADD COLUMN Rate - - - float - default 0,
ADD COLUMN LastReadStorageId Integer - default 0,
ADD COLUMN LastReadDevice - blob,
ADD COLUMN WriteStorageId - integer - default 0,
ADD COLUMN WriteDevice - blob,
ADD COLUMN StatusInfo - - blob,
ADD COLUMN Encrypted - - int - - default 0;
For Restricted Console users, we have slightly changed the DirectoryACL=*all*
and UserIdACL=*all*. If the directives are not defined in a restricted console,
the restore code will allow the file listing.
Old File Daemon versions are still compatible and can be used to protect older
systems such as Redhat 5, SLES 10-11.2.
Known Issues and Workarounds:
-----------------------------
- #1723 The hardlinks=yes FileSet option is not compatible with VirtualFull jobs.
This incompatibility might lead to problems performing a restore.
The error message displayed during a restore job is:
- Error: create_file.c:327 Could not hard link /path: ERR=No such file or directory
To restore the file correctly, the first occurrence of the hardlink file in the
backup must be selected manually. The procedure to distinguish hardlinks in the
catalog is available from the Bacula Systems Support team.
- #4957 Copy/Migration/VirtualFull jobs based on Incomplete jobs - a potential issue.
Under some circumstances a Copy/Migration/VirtualFull job may not be able to
copy the data from a Job that was interrupted and restarted using the
Incomplete Job feature. In versions 10.2.3 and above, the
Copy/Migration/VirtualFull job is aborted with the following error message:
- Fatal error: catreq.c:691 SHA1 digest not same FileIndex=344 as attributes FI=343
or
- Fatal error: catreq.c:691 MD5 digest not same FileIndex=344 as attributes FI=343
It is recommended to re-execute the Job that was interrupted and restarted to
be able to copy/migrate the data. We do NOT recommend including Incomplete Jobs
into a Progressive Virtual Full chain of jobs.
The automatic rescheduling of Incomplete Jobs should be disabled to avoid
restarted Incomplete jobs finishing successfully and being selected to be
copied, migrated, or consolidated in a Virtual Full. To prevent Bacula from
rescheduling Incomplete Jobs, use the "RescheduleIncompleteJobs = no" Job directive.
Please contact the Bacula Systems Support team for more information on any of
the above issues.
