   o enabled with the new 'taper-parallel-write' configuration option.
Packit 23ab03
* Support for LEOM in storage devices
Packit 23ab03

* new, simpler splitting commands in the tapetype section:

* the CONFIG parameter to amidxtaped is now required; this means that
Packit 23ab03
  versions of amrecover older than 2.4.3 will be unable to recover from
Packit 23ab03
  servers running Amanda-3.2 and later.
Packit 23ab03
* The new dumptype and global parameters 'recovery-limit' can be used to
Packit 23ab03
  limit which hosts may recover from a particular DLE.  See amanda.conf(5)
Packit 23ab03
  and amanda-auth(7) for more information.
Packit 23ab03
* Several old changers have been removed - these changers will work with

   o new '--no-taper' option to start the run in degraded mode
Packit 23ab03
* Amvault is much improved, but still experimental:
Packit 23ab03
   o supports assembling split parts on the source volume and re-splitting
Packit 23ab03
     them on the destination
Packit 23ab03
   o supports filtering dumps with the same syntax as amfetchdump
Packit 23ab03
   o a --fulls-only option skips all incremental dumps on the source
Packit 23ab03
   o an --export option tries to move tertiary volumes to import/export
Packit 23ab03
     slots when completed
Packit 23ab03

Packit 23ab03
changer
Packit 23ab03
  We have many changers implementing the new changer API. The new changers are
Packit 23ab03
  faster, more reliable, and have many new features.  One new features is that
Packit 23ab03
  the changer keeps track of which label is in which slot, allowing it to
Packit 23ab03
  locate a tape faster. But with some changers (new chg-multi or chg-robot
Packit 23ab03
  without a barcode), it doesn't get automaticaly notified if you change the
Packit 23ab03
  volume in a slot. In this case, you must notify the changer of it with the
Packit 23ab03
  'amtape <conf> update' command:
Packit 23ab03
    amtape DailySet1 update 3-8
Packit 23ab03
    amtape DailySet1 update 3-8=
Packit 23ab03
    amtape DailySet1 update 3=DailySet-003

Packit 23ab03
  $CONFIG_DIR/amandapass, but it is /etc/amandapass for program GNUTAR.
Packit 23ab03
  Don't forget to move the file if you switch to the amsamba application.
Packit 23ab03
Packit 23ab03
ampgsql, amsuntar, amraw

  Three new programs implementing application-api.
Packit 23ab03
  Swithching from the program "GNUTAR" to the application "amgtar" have some
Packit 23ab03
  advantage:
Packit 23ab03
   - amgtar use by default the gtar --atime-preserve=system option, you must
Packit 23ab03
     disable it if you gtar relase doesn't have that option.
Packit 23ab03
   - Can be configured to cross filesystem.
Packit 23ab03
   - Can be configured to not check the device number on newer gtar
Packit 23ab03
     (--no-check-device of gtar).
Packit 23ab03
   - You can configure error message from gtar you don't want to see in the
Packit 23ab03
     report.
Packit 23ab03
Packit 23ab03

Packit 23ab03
  'amdd' and 'ammt' are also deprecated. If you have scripts that use
Packit 23ab03
  them, then you must rewrite them in perl using the new perl modules.
Packit 23ab03
Packit 23ab03
Configure options
Packit 23ab03
  --disable-shared doesn't work because perl modules require shared library.
Packit 23ab03
  Instead, use --with-static-binaries to build staticailly linked binaries.

  Libraries are installed in $amlibdir (previously $libdir)
Packit 23ab03
  Internal programs are installed in $amlibexecdir (previously $libexecdir)
Packit 23ab03
  You must change your inetd/xinetd config for the new amandad path.
Packit 23ab03
  The amandad path change affect rsh/ssh auth, amanda-2.6.0 installations
Packit 23ab03
  will need to add an 'amandad_path' parameter to configuration files in
Packit 23ab03
  order to talk to older versions of Amanda:
Packit 23ab03
     amanda-2.6.0 client -> amanda-2.5.2 or earlier server: add
Packit 23ab03
       'amandad_path "/usr/libexec/amandad"' (or the appropriate path) to
Packit 23ab03
       /etc/amanda/amanda-client.conf
Packit 23ab03
     amanda-2.5.2 or earlier client -> amanda-2.6.0 server: add
Packit 23ab03
       'amandad_path "/usr/libexec/amanda/amandad"' (or the appropriate path)
Packit 23ab03
       to /etc/amanda/amanda-client.conf
Packit 23ab03
     amanda-2.6.0 server -> amanda-2.5.2 or earlier client: add
Packit 23ab03
       'amandad_path "/usr/libexec/amandad"' (or the appropriate path) to the
Packit 23ab03
       dumptype
Packit 23ab03
     amanda-2.5.2 or earlier server -> amanda-2.6.0 client: add
Packit 23ab03
       'amandad_path "/usr/libexec/amanda/amandad"' (or the appropriate path)
Packit 23ab03
       to the dumptype
Packit 23ab03
  The amandates files is now $localstatedir/amanda/amandates, previously it
Packit 23ab03
  was /etc/amandates, this file must be created on all client.
Packit 23ab03
Packit 23ab03
usetimestamps
Packit 23ab03
  It now defaults to 'yes'.
Packit 23ab03
Packit 23ab03
Glib
Packit 23ab03

Packit 23ab03
  It is free and can be downloaded form http://www.gtk.org/download/

Packit 23ab03
Device API
Packit 23ab03
  The Device API is a complete rewrite of all tape-access functionality.
Packit 23ab03
  To use the Device API, all devices must be specified by their full
Packit 23ab03
  name, e.g., tape:/dev/nst0.  Existing functionality is now available
Packit 23ab03
  in the tape, file, and rait devices, and a new Amazon S3 backend named
Packit 23ab03
  's3' is also available.
Packit 23ab03
Packit 23ab03
Perl Module

  configuration, and similarly allows amrecover to work on the Amanda
Packit 23ab03
  server without any network configuration.
Packit 23ab03
Packit 23ab03
make installcheck
Packit 23ab03
  Almost 200 unit tests are available, which should be run on an installed
Packit 23ab03
  copy of Amanda.  See http://wiki.zmanda.com/index.php/Testing for more
