New Features in 5.0.1</A>
</H1>
<P>
This chapter presents the new features that are in the released Bacula version
5.0.1. This version mainly fixes a number of bugs found in version 5.0.0 during
the onging development process.
<P>
<H1><A NAME="SECTION00410000000000000000"></A>
<A NAME="sec:actiononpurge"></A>
<BR>
Truncate Volume after Purge
</H1>
<P>
The Pool directive <B>ActionOnPurge=Truncate</B> instructs Bacula to truncate
the volume when it is purged with the new command <TT>purge volume
action</TT>. It is useful to prevent disk based volumes from consuming too much
space.
<P>
<PRE>
Pool {
Name = Default
Action On Purge = Truncate
...
}
</PRE>
<P>
As usual you can also set this property with the <TT>update volume</TT> command
<PRE>
*update volume=xxx ActionOnPurge=Truncate
*update volume=xxx actiononpurge=None
</PRE>
<P>
To ask Bacula to truncate your <TT>Purged</TT> volumes, you need to use the
following command in interactive mode or in a RunScript as shown after:
<PRE>
*purge volume action=truncate storage=File allpools
# or by default, action=all
*purge volume action storage=File pool=Default
</PRE>
<P>
This is possible to specify the volume name, the media type, the pool, the
storage, etc...(see <TT>help purge</TT>) Be sure that your storage device is
idle when you decide to run this command.
<P>
<PRE>
Job {
Name = CatalogBackup
...
RunScript {
RunsWhen=After
RunsOnClient=No
Console = "purge volume action=all allpools storage=File"
}
}
</PRE>
<P>
<B>Important note</B>: This feature doesn't work as
expected in version 5.0.0. Please do not use it before version 5.0.1.
<P>
<H1><A NAME="SECTION00420000000000000000">
Allow Higher Duplicates</A>
</H1>
This directive did not work correctly and has been depreciated
(disabled) in version 5.0.1. Please remove it from your bacula-dir.conf
file as it will be removed in a future rlease.
<P>
<H1><A NAME="SECTION00430000000000000000">
Cancel Lower Level Duplicates</A>
</H1>
This directive was added in Bacula version 5.0.1. It compares the
level of a new backup job to old jobs of the same name, if any,
and will kill the job which has a lower level than the other one.
If the levels are the same (i.e. both are Full backups), then
nothing is done and the other Cancel XXX Duplicate directives
will be examined.
<P>
