Release Notes for Bacula Enterprise 16.0

The Director (Dir) and all Storage Daemons (SDs) must all be upgraded to version 16.0 as they they are not compatible with prior versions.

Catalog format in version 16.0 and greater

The major release 16.0 of Bacula uses a new catalog format. We provide a set of scripts that convert 6.6.x and earlier catalog versions to the new 16.0 format (1026). Please see the Migration to New Major Version of Bacula for detailed instructions on the migration process.

The database upgrade from 1025 to 1026 is fast and simple for most users.

The Bacula Enterprise RPM spec files have been modified to detect the database change and to do the upgrade for you (from 8.10, 10.0, 10.2, …). We strongly recommend that you save a copy of your existing database before upgrading using RPMs. If you want to have more control over the catalog upgrade step when upgrading using RPMs, you may want to contact the Bacula Systems support team to get the update_bacula_tables script from the updatedb package and run it before the RPM installation step or you can stop the database server before the upgrade.

If you upgrade the BWeb Management Suite from 8.x and you use a MySQL catalog, you must first update the BWeb SQL tables with the script upgrade-8.8_10.2_mysql.sql.

If you are starting from scratch, you will not need to run the update_bacula_tables script since the create_bacula_tables script automatically creates the tables in the new format.

Important notes

The RPM packages have been reworked to have the different important tools in separate packages. The bconsole program is no longer included in the bacula-enterprise-client package and is now in the bacula-enterprise-console package. This may have an impact if you are starting jobs from the client using bconsole as you will now need to install the bconsole package in addition to the client package. Oracle and SAP packages have been updated accordingly.

Restricted Console users must modify their existing Console resources to specify DirectoryACL=*all* and UserIdACL=*all* in order to continue to use the restore command. If these two directives are not set, the restore command will return an error.

The File Daemon directive ‘EnableClientRehydration’ is now deprecated.

The minimum value for the Storage Daemon Device directive named ‘MaximumVolumeBytes’ is now 1MB.

Old File Daemon versions are still compatible and can be used to protect older systems such as Redhat 5, SLES 10-11.2.

Known Issues and Workarounds

• #1723 The hardlinks=yes FileSet option is not compatible with VirtualFull jobs.

  This incompatibility might lead to problems performing a restore. The error message displayed during a restore job is:

  Error: create_file.c:327 Could not hard link /path: ERR=No such file or directory

  To restore the file correctly, the first occurrence of the hardlink file in the backup must be selected manually. The procedure to distinguish hardlinks in the catalog is available from the Bacula Systems Support team.

• #4957 Copy/Migration/VirtualFull jobs based on Incomplete jobs - a potential issue.

  Under some circumstances a Copy/Migration/VirtualFull job may not be able to copy the data from a Job that was interrupted and restarted using the Incomplete Job feature. In versions 10.2.3 and above, the Copy/Migration/VirtualFull job is aborted with the following error message:

  Fatal error: catreq.c:691 SHA1 digest not same FileIndex=344 as attributes FI=343

  or

  Fatal error: catreq.c:691 MD5 digest not same FileIndex=344 as attributes FI=343

  It is recommended to re-execute the Job that was interrupted and restarted to be able to copy/migrate the data. We do NOT recommend including Incomplete Jobs into a Progressive Virtual Full chain of jobs.

  The automatic rescheduling of Incomplete Jobs should be disabled to avoid restarted Incomplete jobs finishing successfully and being selected to be copied, migrated, or consolidated in a Virtual Full. To prevent Bacula from rescheduling Incomplete Jobs, use the “RescheduleIncompleteJobs = no” Job directive.

• #9124 VMware Instant Recovery fails booting the VM (fixed in 16.0.7)

  The issue concerns booting up the VM after performing Instant Recovery normally, meaning the hosts are selected, the datastore is created and mounted, the OVF is deployed and disks are added to the VM. After that, there is a following error message:

  W: Unable to complete Task powerOnVm: name=PowerOnVM_Task target=LSLTVAT01-86433 desc=Powering on the new Virtual Machine err=The specified device is not a valid physical disk device Could not power on VM. Please check vsphere-ctl logs for more details.

  Afterwards the cleanup is performed as usual. You must use the usual restore process and the Single Item Restore feature to restore a Virtual Machine if using VMware version 7.0.3 or above.

Please contact the Bacula Systems Support team for more information on any of the above issues.
