You may be wondering why there have been so many releases of version 5.2.x. It isn't because there are any problems, but rather that Bacula Systems is now very well organized (with a new CEO and many new employees) that I now have more time to work on Bacula, and that means we are fixing more bugs, implementing new features and such. The results you will see when appropriate in releases. At the end of 2011 Bacula Systems introduced a new service offering specifically for existing community users called the Bacula Enterprise Selective Migration Plan. This program is geared towards IT shops and systems administrators who have deployed the community version of Bacula and wish to professionalize their backup and restore infrastructure using the Enterprise Edition. The success of this plan surpassed our greatest expectations and therefore we have decided to extend it until the 31st of March 2012!

Anyone using restarted jobs should upgrade from 5.2.4 to 5.2.5. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There are quite a number of fixes and updates as you can see in the ReleaseNotes included below. We haven't tested bat in the Windows binaries, but have noticed that there was a small discrepancy between the .dlls and the header files we used to build it, so if you have problems with it, please let me know and I will build a corrected version.

If you downloaded version 5.2.0, sorry for the inconvenience, but I *strongly recommend you download version 5.2.1 to avoid possible problems. Several people have commented lately that the Bacula project appears dead, but it is not at all the case. The developers have been working hard. Since version 5.0.3, there have been over 299,387 lines of changes made by 20 developers, making 1,851 commits to the git repo, and we have closed 88 bug reports (the large part of them being fixed). There are also some nice new features -- some of the main ones are: - LZO Compression - New Tray Monitor - Purge Migration Job - Changes in Bvfs (Bacula Virtual FileSystem) - Changes in the Pruning Algorithm - Ability to Verify any specified Job - Additions to RunScript variables - Additions to the Plugin API - ACL enhancements - XATTR enhancements - Class Based Database Backend Drivers - Hash List Enhancements Bacula 5.2.1 is now available for download from Source Forge, whe</pre> Kern Sibbald 2011-10-30T14:35:30 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.sysutils.backup.bacula.announce/146 <pre>Hello, Since we often have questions about what exactly is the Enterprise version, it is my pleasure to announce the availability of the Bacula Enterprise Trial Version 4.0.7, which will allow you to try it for yourself. It is a fully featured set of ready to run Enterprise binaries for a wide variety of platforms that include the Windows File daemon, the VSS System State plugin, the NDMP plugin as well as Bat and the BWeb administration tool. Since this is a trial version, it works with an SQLite database and is limited to 30 days. Also, please note, that it is not compatible with the community version, so please do not try to mix components. You can download by following the link it at: http://www.baculasystems.com/index.php/try-bacula-enterprise-version.html and as you will see at the above link, you can download and use it for free, or you can get help installing it. We wish you a great experience with this trial version.

I'm pleased to announce take place on Wednesday September 21st 2011 in Cologne Germany. So, please mark your calendars, and please do sign up for it, which you can do by going to the following link: www.bacula-konferenz.de If you would like to submit a paper, there is still one slot free. Obviously I'll be there too and will discuss the Bacula roadmap as I see it -- however, due to some nice unexpected user code submissions, the roadmap does not always work out as I expect :-) . I am looking forward to being there and to meeting you there too.

Real interest can be shown by sending a registration email to the address noted below.

For those of you who cannot use Source Forge, you can find the release in: www.bacula.org/downloads/Bacula-5.0.3 This 5.0.3 version is significant bug fix update to version 5.0.2. It includes new code and some new features. There is no database change since prior versions of 5.0. Note, if you are running 5.0.0, read the 5.0.1 and 5.0.2 release notes below in the 5.0.1 release section. Important!!! Compatibility: -------------- As always, both the Director and Storage daemon must be upgraded at the same time. Older 5.0.x and 3.0.x File Daemons are compatible with the 5.0.3 Director and Storage daemons. There should be no need to upgrade older File Daemons. Changes and New Features: - If a VSS (Windows) snapshot fails, the whole Job is failed, previously it printed a warning message and continued. - New editing codes %b = Job Bytes and %f = Job Files for runscripts - Any non-Bacula project plugins (i.e. third party plugins) m</pre> Kern Sibbald 2010-08-06T18:34:55 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.sysutils.backup.bacula.announce/139 <pre>Hello, This is to let you know that Eric has released the tar.gz source files and the Windows binaries to the Bacula section of the Source Forge download area.

This is a major bug fix release including a few directives that have been rewritten, one new directive, and some different directive behavior (see the release notes below). As is usual for a patch release (last digit changes by one), this version is compatible with the 5.0.0 database and with prior clients. However, you *must* upgrade all components that are on any one machine (that is you must upgrade your Director, Storage daemon, and File daemon at the same time, if they reside on the same machine). Note, Bacula does not normally uninstall previous versions, and we have changed the shared object naming convention, so you might want to first save your configuration files then uninstall the old Bacula using the old Bacula uninstall prior to installing the new one. If you do not, it should not be serious, but you may be left with some older Bacula shared objects that a</pre> Kern Sibbald 2010-02-25T14:33:53 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.sysutils.backup.bacula.announce/137 <pre>Hello, Bat: We have received a number of problem reports and bugs about building and running bat, and unfortunately our documentation was insufficient, which is hopefully now corrected. Bat is built with the Qt packages for doing the GUI. I have worked with a lot of different GUI packages (Sun/Solaris, Mac, Windows, OS/2, wxWidgits, X, Qt3, Qt4, ...) and I prefer Qt4 over all the other ones. However, it is very version dependent, which is a bit of a pain. As a consequence, the only way to get a stable working version of Bat is to build it on the version of Qt where we have built and tested it. That version is Qt 4.3.4 (default on Ubuntu 8.04). So to get bat to build correctly, we have released a depkgs-qt that contains the source code for Qt 4.3.4, and if you are trying to build Bat, either you should load the Qt 4.3.4 binaries on your system, or download our depkgs-qt release from Source Forge and built Qt 4.3.4 there. Building from depkgs-qt does not install Qt on your system, it is </pre> Kern Sibbald 2010-02-03T10:57:40 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.sysutils.backup.bacula.announce/136 <pre>Hello, The source code tar files and the Windows (32/64) binaries for Bacula version 5.0.0 have been released to Source Forge. We are very pleased with this release for a number of reasons: 1. It is the 10th anniversary of the beginning of the Bacula Project 2. This is the first release that has been "cut" by someone other than me. Eric Bollengier did this one. 3. This release has a good number of important stablity enhancements as indicated by how few errors we have been seeing in the regresson tests. 4. More and more users are helping us test by running the regression tests (thanks). 5. There has been a significant number of contributions to this release -- in fact, the source code (SF git repo) contains patches in this version submitted by 21 people. Many thanks, and please keep it up! I have spent a good deal of effort trying to improve the Win32/64 install procedure. However, there are a number of problems.
