Url http://download.bareos.org/bareos/release/17.2/ http://download.bareos.com/bareos/release/17.2/ ================ ===============================================
This release contains several enhancements. Excerpt:
- Bareos Distribution (packages)
- Python-bareos is included in the core distribution.
- bareos-storage-droplet is a storage backend for the droplet library. Most notably it allows backup and restores to a S3 environment. betaSince{sd}{bareos-storage-droplet}{17.2.4}
- bat has been removed.
- platforms:
- Windows Clients are still supported since Windows Vista.
- MacOS: added to build chain.
- is ready for HP-UX 11.31 (ia64).
- Linux Distribution: Bareos tries to provide packages for all current platforms. For details, refer to
section-packages
.
- Linux RPM packages: allow read access to /etc/bareos/ for all users (however, relevant files are still only readable for the user bareos). This allows other programs associated with Bareos to also use this directory.
- Denormalization of the File database table
- The denormalization of the File database table leads to enormous performance improvements in installation, which covering a lot of file (millions and more).
- For the denormalization the database schema must be modified.
Warning
- Updating the database to schema version >= 2170 will increase the required disk space.
Especially it will require around twice the amount of the current database disk space during the migration.
- The Filename database table does no longer exists. Therefore the
.bvfs_*
commands do no longer output the FilenameId column.
- NDMP_NATIVE support has been added. This include the NDMP features DAR and DDAR. For details see
section-NdmpNative
. - Updated the package bareos-vmware-plugin to utilize the Virtual Disk Development Kit (VDDK) 6.5.x. This includes support for 6.5 and the next major release (except new features) and backward compatible with 5.5 and 6.0. For details see
VMwarePlugin
. - Soft Quota: automatic quota grace period reset if a job does not exceed the quota.

This release contains several bugfixes and enhancements. Excerpt:
- Fixes a Director crash, when enabling debugging output
.bvfs_lsdirs
: improve performance, especially when having a large number of directories- To optimize the performance of the SQL query used by
.bvfs_lsdirs
, it is important to have the following indexes: - PostgreSQL
CREATE INDEX file_jpfnidpart_idx ON File(PathId,JobId,FilenameId) WHERE FileIndex = 0;
- If the index
file_jfnidpart_idx
mentioned in 16.2.6 release notes exist, drop it:DROP INDEX file_jfnidpart_idx;
- MySQL/MariaDB
CREATE INDEX PathId_JobId_FileNameId_FileIndex ON File(PathId,JobId,FilenameId,FileIndex);
- If the index
PathId_JobId_FileIndex_FileNameId
mentioned in 16.2.6 release notes exist, drop it:DROP INDEX PathId_JobId_FileIndex_FileNameId ON File;
- To optimize the performance of the SQL query used by
- Utilize OpenSSL >= 1.1 if available
- Windows: fixes silent upgrade (
winbareos-*.exe /S
) - Windows: restore attributes also on directories (not only on files)
- Fixes problem with SHA1 signature when compiled without OpenSSL (not relevant for bareos.org/bareos.com packages)
- Packages for openSUSE Leap 42.3 and Fedora 26 have been added.
- Packages for AIX and current HP-UX 11.31

Database Version | 2004 (unchanged) |
Release Ticket | 794 |
Url | http://download.bareos.com/bareos/release/16.2/ |
This release contains several bugfixes and enhancements. Excerpt:
- Prevent from director crash when using incorrect paramaters of
.bvfs_*
commands. - Director now closes all configuration files when reloading failed.
- Storage daemon now closes the network connection when MaximumConcurrentJobs reached.
- New directive LanAddress was added to the Client and Storage Resources of the director to facilitate a network topology where client and storage are situated inside of a LAN, but the Director is outside of that LAN. See
LanAddress
for details. - A Problem in the storage abstraction layer was fixed where the director picked the wrong storage daemon when multiple storages/storage daemons were used.
- The device spool size calculation when using secure erase was fixed.
.bvfs_lsdirs
no longer shows empty directories from accurate jobs.Warning
This decreases performance if your environment has a large numbers of directories. Creating an index improves the performance.
- When using PostgreSQL, creating the following partial improves the performance sufficiently:
CREATE INDEX file_jfnidpart_idx ON File(JobId, FilenameId) WHERE FileIndex = 0;
- Run following command to create the partial index:
su - postgres -c 'echo "CREATE INDEX file_jfnidpart_idx ON File(JobId, FilenameId) WHERE FileIndex = 0; ANALYZE File;" | psql bareos'
- When using PostgreSQL, creating the following partial improves the performance sufficiently:
- When using MySQL or MariaDB, creating the following index improves the performance:
CREATE INDEX PathId_JobId_FileIndex_FileNameId ON File(PathId,JobId,FileIndex,FilenameId);
- Run following command to create the index:
echo "CREATE INDEX PathId_JobId_FileIndex_FileNameId ON File(PathId,JobId,FileIndex,FilenameId);" | mysql -u root bareos
- However, with larger amounts of directories and/or involved jobs, even with this index the performance of
.bvfs_lsdirs
may still be insufficient. We are working on optimizing the SQL query for MySQL/MariaDB to solve this problem.
- When using MySQL or MariaDB, creating the following index improves the performance:
- Packages for Univention UCS 4.2 have been added.
- Packages for Debian 9 (Stretch) have been added.
- WebUI: The post install script of the bareos-webui RPM package for RHEL/CentOS was fixed, it no longer tries to run a2enmod which does not exist on RHEL/CentOS.
- WebUI: The login form no longer allows redirects to arbitrary URLs
- WebUI: The used ZendFramework components were updated from version 2.4.10 to 2.4.11.
- WebUI: jQuery was updated from version 1.12.4 to version 3.2.0., some outdated browsers like Internet Explorer 6-8, Opera 12.1x or Safari 5.1+ will no longer be supported, see jQuery Browser Support for details.

First stable release of the Bareos 16.2 branch.
- Configuration
- Bareos packages contain the default configuration in
section-ConfigurationSubdirectories
. Please readsection-UpdateToConfigurationSubdirectories
before updating (make a copy of your configuration directories for your and before updating). Note: as the old configuration files are still supported, in most cases no changes are required. - The default configuration does no longer name the :config
Dir/Director
and :configSd/Storage
resources after the systems hostname ($HOSTNAME-dir
resp.$HOSTNAME-sd
) but use :configDir/Director = bareos-dir
resp. :configSd/Storage = bareos-sd
as defaults. The prior solution had the disadvantage, that$HOSTNAME-dir
has also been set on not running on the , which almost ever did require changing this setting. Also the new approach aligns better withsection-ConfigurationSubdirectories
. - Due to limitation of the build system, the default resource :config
Dir/FileSet = Linux All
have been renamed to :configDir/FileSet = LinuxAll
(no space between Linux and All). The configuration of the bareos-traymonitor has also been split into resource files. Additional, these resource files are now packaged in other packages:
CONFIGDIR/tray-monitor.d/monitor/bareos-mon.conf
: bareos-traymonitorCONFIGDIR/tray-monitor.d/client/FileDaemon-local.conf
: bareos-filedaemonCONFIGDIR/tray-monitor.d/storage/StorageDaemon-local.conf
: bareos-storageCONFIGDIR/tray-monitor.d/director/Director-local.conf
:bareos-director
This way, the bareos-traymonitor will be configured automatically for the installed components.
- Bareos packages contain the default configuration in
- Strict ACL handling
- Bareos Console Acl`s do no longer automatically matches substrings (to avoid that e.g. :config:option:`dir/console/PoolAcl = Full also matches :config
dir/pool = VirtualFull
). To configure the ACL to work as before, :configdir/console/PoolAcl = .*Full.*
must be set. Unfortunately the 15.2 :configDir/Profile = webui
did use :configdir/console/CommandAcl = .bvfs*
, which is also no longer works as intended. Moreover, to use all of 16.2 features, some additional commands must be permitted, so best use the new :configDir/Profile = webui-admin
.
- Bareos Console Acl`s do no longer automatically matches substrings (to avoid that e.g. :config:option:`dir/console/PoolAcl = Full also matches :config
- Updating from Bareos 15.2: Adapt :config
Dir/Profile = webui
(from bareos 15.2) to allow all commands of :configDir/Profile = webui-admin
(:configdir/console/CommandAcl
). Alternately modify all :configDir/Console
s currently using :configDir/Profile = webui
to use :configDir/Profile = webui-admin
instead. - While RHEL 6 and CentOS 6 are still platforms supported by Bareos, the package bareos-webui is not available for these platforms, as the required ZendFramework 2.4 do require PHP >= 5.3.17 (5.3.23). However, it is possible to use bareos-webui 15.2 against bareos-director 16.2. Also here, the profile must be adapted.
- Updating from Bareos 15.2: Adapt :config

First stable release of the Bareos 15.2 branch.
When coming from bareos-14.2.x, the following things have changed (same as in bareos-15.2.1):
- The default setting for the Bacula Compatbile mode in :config
fd/client/Compatible
and :configsd/storage/Compatible
have been changed from yes to no. - The configuration syntax for Storage Daemon Cloud Backends Ceph and GlusterFS have changed. Before bareos-15.2, options have been configured as part of the :config
sd/device/ArchiveDevice
directive, while now the Archive Device contains only information text and options are defined via the :configsd/device/DeviceOptions
directive. See examples in :configsd/device/DeviceOptions
.

It is known, that drop_database
scripts will not longer work on PostgreSQL < 8.4. However, as drop_database
scripts are very seldom needed, package dependencies do not yet enforce PostgreSQL >= 8.4. We plan to ensure this in future version of Bareos.

This release contains several bugfixes, including one major bugfix (437
), relevant for those of you using backup to disk with autolabeling enabled.
It can lead to loss of a 64k block of data when all of this conditions apply:
- backups are written to disk (tape backups are not affected)
- autolabelling is enabled
- a backup spans over multiple volumes
- the additional volumes are newly created and labeled during the backup
If existing volumes are used for backups spanning over multiple volumes, the problem does not occur.
We recommend to update to the latest packages as soon as possible.
If an update is not possible immediately, autolabeling should be disabled and volumes should be labelled manually until the update can be installed.
If you are affected by the 64k bug, we recommend that you schedule a full backup after fixing the problem in order to get a proper full backup of all files.
