Unreleased

Breaking changes

  • Bareos 25 disables SSL on the PostgreSQL connection, as we have observed strange issues with SSL enabled.Issue #1965

  • Bareos 25 and later will not modify or extend existing configuration directories on package updates PR #2338
     Note: on FreeBSD unmodified configuration changes from Bareos <= 24 will get removed and replaced by the new default configuration of the current package.

  • Glusterfs FD plugin and SD backend is deprecated and will get removed in 26. ### Storage -> Device Count behavior changes

If the Count directive is specified with a value > 1, duplicated devices will be created starting from serial-number 0000 up to Count. The 0000 device is automatically assigned ‘Autoselect=No’. Additionally, an autochanger resource is created with the name of the device the Count directive is specified for. The duplicated devices will be assigned to this autochanger unless they are used in another autochanger already.

See explanations and example in documentation https://docs.bareos.org/TasksAndConcepts/VolumeManagement.html#concurrent-disk-jobs

Configuring a disk Autochanger

If you want to run multiple jobs in parallel to the same disk storage, you can now simply specify the count directive in the (Storage -> Device) configuration to the number you’ve specified in MaximumConcurrentJobs (Director -> Storage).

If you want to migrate from your manually configured disk autochanger to simply using the count directive:

  1. remove the disk autochanger resource

  2. have a storage device with a specified count directive (with value >1)

  3. wherever you used the disk autochanger name before, use the name of the device from step 2.

23.0.0 - 2023-12-13

Breaking changes

  • Automatic downgrades to cleartext connections are now disabled by default. Connecting to Bareos filedaemon < 18.2 is not possible anymore - even if configured with TLS certificates. Please update your clients. Only if you absolutely cannot update a client you can configure TLS Enable = no explicitly. However, this is inherently insecure.

  • The old catalog backup script make_catalog_backup.pl has been removed. Its replacement make_catalog_backup was already the default. If you didn’t already update your BackupCatalog job, now is the time to do so.

  • Support for Windows x86 (32Bit) has been removed.

  • Support for Python 2 has been removed.

  • The following deprecated configuration options have been removed, make sure to update your configuration accordingly:

    • Director daemon

      • Pid Directory

      • Maximum Connections

    • File daemon

      • Pid Directory

      • Compatible

      • Maximum Connections

    • Storage daemon

      • Pid Directory

      • Compatible

      • Maximum Connections

  • The following configuration defaults have changed:

    • Director daemon

      • Hard Links = no (was yes) in FileSet->Include->Options

      • TLS Require = yes (was no)

    • Storage daemon

      • Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 1 (was 0) in Device

      • Maximum Block Size = 1048576 (was 0) in Device

      • TLS Require = yes (was no)

    • File daemon

      • TLS Require = yes (was no)

22.0.0 - 2022-12-21

Breaking Changes

  • when using PAM Bareos will now check authorization, too. If authorization is not configured, login will fail. See updated documentation on how to proceed PR #1115.

  • Bareos 22 removes the make_catalog_backup.pl perl script in favor of an improved make_catalog_backup shell script. There is a compatibility-wrapper, but that only supports simple cases. If you applied changes to BackupCatalog Job, you should immediately migrate to use make_catalog_backup. See catalog documentation PR #1081

  • Bareos changed the way its binaries parse CLI arguments. Four existing options now require two minus signs (--) instead of one (-) :

    • -xc -> --xc to export all configuration at once.

    • -xc[resource[=<name>]] -> --xc [resource [ressource-name]] to export a specific resource.

    • -xs -> --xs to export configuration JSON schema.

    • -dt -> --dt to print the debug timestamp. The rest of the options stay the same. PR #1187

  • Previously deprecated rados/ceph backend and cephfs plugin have been removed. Instead, please use the droplet backend to store into ceph via S3, and backup cephfs filesystems by backing up a mount point.

    • packages bareos-storage-ceph and bareos-filedaemon-ceph-plugin if previously installed need to be removed manually.

  • Bareos 22 removes bareos-webui support for RHEL 7 and CentOS 7

  • Bareos 22 uses the VMware VDDK 8.0.0 for the VMware Plugin. PR #1295. VDDK 8.0.0 supports vSphere 8 and is backward compatible with vSphere 6.7 and 7. vSphere 6.5 is not supported anymore.

  • Bareos 22 bareos-webui now uses php_fpm instead of mod_php. PR #1287. Update should run smoothly, for details check the “Installing Bareos Webui” chapter in the docs.

Breaking Changes

  • Bareos now automatically reconnects to the catalog database after the connection was lost. To keep the old behaviour, set Reconnect = no in your Catalog resource. PR #860

  • Bareos now listens on IPv4 and IPv6 by default. If you currently use [DIR|SD|FD] Address or [DIR|SD|FD] Address, you may need to update your configuration to get the same behaviour as before. PR #882

  • Support for MySQL and SQLite catalog backends has been removed. Switch to PostgreSQL via bareos-dbcopy on Bareos 20 before upgrading. PR #949

  • Bareos no longer supports Bacula tape formats <= 10 (Bacula <= 1.26 which was released 2002). PR #1019

  • Deprecated configuration directives have been removed. If you have any configuration settings deprecated in Bareos 20, you will need to remove these before upgrading. PR #938
