We are pleased to announce the release of Bacula version 13.0.1 to both the Bacula website (www.bacula.org) and to SourceForge. Thank you for using Bacula.

Release Notes for Bacula 13.0

This is a major 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 13.0.0 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 and the
grant_bacula_privileges scripts 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

install the libs3 available on https://www.bacula.org/downloads/libs3-20200523.tar.gz
