Hey out there, here are the latest news from the Bareos Developer Lounge: * Our FOSDEM devroom was very successful
In February 2020 FOSDEM took part in Brussels. This year Bareos hosted a Backup and Recovery developer room and we had lots of interesting talks. See the details here: https://fosdem.org/2020/schedule/track/backup_and_recovery * Easy migration from MySQL/MariaDB to PostgreSQL The use of MySQL/MariaDB databases with Bareos is deprecated since Bareos 19. Our new tool bareos-dbcopy can help you to migrate a MySQL/MariaDB database. Simply add the new PostgreSQL database to the Bareos config and run bareos-dbcopy. See the full description in our docs here: https://docs.bareos.org/master/Appendix/Howtos.html#migrate-mysql-to-postgresql * Ukrainian translation is now available for proof reading in POEditor Join the translation team and make your contributions here: https://poeditor.com/join/project/ELnLNbvQJb The Bugs section * Scheduler did not start copy or migrate jobs This was a side effect of refactoring the scheduler code. In 2019 we refactored the scheduler completely to be able to run jobs when active clients connect to the director. Afterwards, jobs needed a client configured to be scheduled. For copy or migrate jobs this was usually not the case, so they were not run anymore. This is fixed now, see https://bugs.bareos.org/view.php?id=1190 * We fixed the upgrade script for MySQL/MariaDB The upgrade script was optimized and tested with MariaDB but there was an incompatible SQL statement that did not run with MySQL. That's also fixed. Current packages with the newest features and fixed bugs are available in our nightly repos: https://download.bareos.org/bareos/experimental/nightly/ We would be happy about feedback! Available short term apprentice projects * Proof Reading of Ukrainian translation For further information on webui translation please read https://github.com/bareos/bareos/blob/master/webui/doc/README-TRANSLATION.md * Restore: allow abbreviated timestamp input When you select one of the options for "before a specified time" currently the time specified is required to be down to the second in YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm:ss. It would be great if this was improved allow only the date and maybe only a year and month. If somebody wants to pick that task up, get in touch with us on bareos-devel and we will be happy to do some mentoring. Thank you for using and supporting Bareos and stay tuned for more info soon. -- Mit freundlichen Grüßen/ Best regards Philipp Storz [email protected] Bareos GmbH & Co.
