New in Bacula 13.0.0 (Jul 7, 2022)

  • This is a major new release with many new features and a number of
  • Changes. Please take care to test this code carefully before putting it into
  • Production. Although the new features have been tested, they have not run in a
  • Production environment.
  • Compatibility:
  • As always, both the Director and Storage daemon(s) must be upgraded at
  • The same time. Any File daemon running on the same machine as a Director
  • Or Storage daemon must be of the same version.
  • Older File Daemons should be compatible with the 13.0 Director and Storage
  • Daemons. There should be no need to upgrade older File Daemons.
  • New Catalog format in version 13.0 and greater:
  • This release of Bacula uses a new catalog format. We provide a set of scripts
  • That permit conversion from 9.x and earlier versions to the new 13.0 format
  • (1024). Normally the conversion/upgrade is automatic, though there is a big
  • Change from 9.x to 11.0 that takes longer than usual, the upgrade process will
  • Require about twice the disk space of the actual database.
  • The database upgrade introduced in 11.0 should significantly increase
  • Performance when inserting a large number of Jobs with a lot of Files into the
  • Database catalog.
  • If you start from scratch, you don't need to run the update_bacula_tables
  • Script because the create_bacula_tables script automatically creates the new
  • Table format. However, if you are using a version of Bacula older than 5.0.0
  • (e.g. 3.0.3) then you need to run the update_bacula_tables script that will be
  • Found in the /src/cats directory after you run the ./configure command.
  • As mentioned above, before running this script, please backup your catalog
  • Database, be sure to shutdown Bacula and be aware that running the script can
  • Take some time depending on your database size.
  • S3 Cloud Driver:
  • To build the S3 Storage Cloud Driver, it is required to download and
  • Install the libs3 available on https://www.bacula.org/downloads/libs3-20200523.tar.gz
  • New Features:
  • Job 'Storage Group' support
