  • Compatibility:
  • As always, both the Director and Storage daemon must be upgraded at the same time.
  • Older 3.0.x and possibly 2.4.x File Daemons are compatible with the 3.0.3 Director and Storage daemons. There should be no need to upgrade older File Daemons.

  • drive reservation. This ensures that a Volume to be read will not
  • be reserved for writing. Significant improvement in eliminating
  • tape deadlock situations.

New in Bacula 2.5.42 Beta 2 (Mar 18, 2009)

  • Increase timeout for unmounting DVD as suggested by reporter of bug #1250.

  • Break the do_swapping into do_unload, do_swapping, and do_load. It is much more logical that way.
  • Implement a set_dcr_from_vol subroutine in acquire.c for reading volumes. This allows the dcr to be refreshed after being zapped when the wrong volume is mounted. This should fix bug #1126 -
  • During multiple tape restore, bacula does not ask for physical tape change, but rereads same tape
  • Apply patch submitted for bug #1107 with a small modification. This fixes a bug where bcopy copied too many records.
