Hello, Wednesday, I released Bacula BETA 2.1.20 source tar files and the Win32 binaries to the Source Forge bacula-beta download area.
In that release you will find: bacula-2.1.20.tar.gz bacula-gui-2.1.20.tar.gz bacula-rescue-2.1.20.tar.gz winbacula-2.1.20.exe and their corresponding signature (.sig) files. In addition, you can download the docs from: http://www.bacula.org/downloads/bacula-docs-2.1.20.tar.bz2 as well as it's corresponding signature file. Please note, that as of this moment, www.bacula.org does not permit indexing that directory, so you must ask for the doc file by full name. In addition, this morning, I have uploaded: winbacula-2.1.21.exe to the Source Forge bacula-beta download area. This is pretty much the same as winbacula-2.1.20.exe except that it has a first cut of VSS (Volume Shadow Copy) enabled for Windows Vista. I have successfully done backups with this version, but I haven't yet tried restores, so please give me your feedback (please be sure to copy the bacula-devel list as I am not on the users list). The major changes since beta 2.1.18 are two rather important (and very difficult) bug fixes, both of which exist in version 2.0.0 (i.e. they are not directly 2.1.x related): - Fixed bug #886 (multidrive autochanger: SD doesn't use drive with loaded tape but uses first drive). - Fixed bug #807 Restore encrypted backup failed on Windows 2003 This was indeed a Win32 issue. One final note about winbacula-2.1.21.exe, which seems to have a working VSS on Vista: there is still an issue of junctions, and I saw one solution that was to provide exclusion lists to avoid the error messages. However, that may not be the best tactic. If I am not mistaken, Bacula is doing *nearly* everything correct with juctions, execept that it believes that they are directories and is trying to descend into them and thus getting an error. However, if I am not mistaken, it *is* backing up these junctions, and will probably restore them correctly -- it is just than an inappropriate error message is printed. I suspect that it will only be a few lines of code to make Bacula detect that a particular directory entry is a junction and to back it up like a regular file rather than treat it like a directory.
