Hello, I imagine that by now, you have all heard about the restore bug #935 where restoring does not restore all the files backed up.
To resume where we are: 1. We have an open bug #935. 2. I believe that I have duplicated it. 3. I believe that I have a fix for it. 4. The fix is committed to the SVN trunk and to Branch-2.2 5. I've announced it, and described pretty much everything I know about it (except for the technical details). 6. I've hidden all source file and rpm releases 2.0.x and later on Source Forge. The problem is in the Win32 server code as well, but I have not hidden the Win32 binaries. 7. I have uploaded the announcement to the "News" section of the web page. 8. I have posted patches for 2.2.0, 2.2.1, and 2.2.2 to the bug report, all untested except for 2.2.2 with the patch. 9. I have prepared a pre-release bacula-2.2.3.tar.gz and the win32 binaries and am currently testing them. 10. Asked Scott about packaging the 2.2.3 rpms. Once we have a confirmed fix or at least are pretty sure, this is relatively urgent, IMO. =================== I plan to do the following: 1. Post the pre-release source, win32 binaries, and patches to the Bacula web site and announce it. 2. If I can get a verification of the fix, release version 2.2.3 today or at the latest tomorrow (I am out most of the day tomorrow). 3. Write up some technical details of the bug and how one might proceed to restore data "manually", and also document other possibilities such as bscan ... 4. Possibly test the 2.2.2 bscan to see if it will reconstruct a valid database (I doubt it). 5. Test bscan 2.2.3 to ensure that it will reconstruct a valid database. 6. Possibly work up a 2.0.x patch -- that won't be possible until Wed or Thur. ======== Have I left out anything? Do any of you have any suggestions for who should be notified?
