No changes from version 1.37.30. What new database version is this? I have version 8 right now, and in updatedb I don't see any scripts to go from 8 to anything higher.

Debian releases a stable release rougly every two years. So the packages that you can currently get from the 'testing' and 'unstable' branches will then make the new stable release. Conclusion: there will be no other Sarge packages of Bacula than the current version (modulo security fixes). 1.38.0 will hopefully appear in 'unstable' soon. If you don't care for security support you are free to run 'testing' for example but it's not recommended for production.

Hello Kern, list, nice to see a new stable release. Are there any plans to make packages for Debian stable (sarge) in the near future? Best regards Stephan Holl -- Stephan Holl Check headers for GnuPG Key! http://www.gdf-hannover.de signature.asc Description: PGP signature

You should use the "standard" method, which is the script
"upgrade_bacula_tables" for upgrading your database. This must be done if
you already have a prior version 8 database, but not if you create a new
database. I guess I forgot to explicitly mention the script name. It is
installed along with the other database scripts ...

[Bacula-users] Bacula version 1.38.0 released
Hello, Today, I have released the Bacula 1.38.0 source code tar files and Windows binaries to Source Forge. Prior releases consisted of a single source tar file. However, the 1.38.0 release consists of 4 source tar files: bacula-1.38.0.tar.gzthe source code bacula-docs-1.38.0.tar.gzthe documenation files bacula-gui-1.38.0.tar.gz non-core GUI programs (bacula-web and bimagemgr) bacula-rescue-1.8.1.tar.gz the Rescue CDROM source (note the release number is not tied to Bacula) Each tar file also has an associated .sig file that you can use to verify that either myself or Scott Barninger prepared the package. Scott should be able to prepare the rpm files for release sometime next week. The updated .spec files are included with the source, but please don't ask for help building the rpms until after Scott has released them (he will be pretty busy getting everything out ...). This release has a lot of new features, and it comes appoximately 6 months after the release of version 1.36.3. What surprised me is that there are more than 20,000 lines of new code not to mention the number of lines of changes (115,000+) ! Since I normally produce about 20,000 lines of code per year, this means that over half of the release was code contributed by other programmers. This pleases me a lot, and I hope this evolution (increased participation by others) continues :-) I would like to thank everyone who helped with this release including the programmers (many of whom are mentioned in the ReleaseNotes), but also the others who have helped with reformatting the docs, documentation, proof reading, new web site, email help for users, testing, ideas, new bacula-web mangement tool, ... Please take the time to read the ReleaseNotes that I include below for your convenience. Doing so will probably save you some pain in upgrading and give you a good overview of the new features and changes. Thanks again for all your help and encouragement getting this release out. -- Best regards, Kern PS: I will send an email in the next few days requesting input for new features in the next version. In the mean time, you can look at "projects" in the source code to see a list of features that I would like to see ... 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 projec
