Item 1: Extend the verify code to make it possible to verify
older jobs, not only the last one that has finished
Date: 10 April 2009
Origin: Ralf Gross (Ralf-Lists <at> ralfgross.de)
Status: not implemented or documented
What: At the moment a VolumeToCatalog job compares only the
last job with the data in the catalog. It's not possible
to compare the data (md5sums) of an older volume with the
data in the catalog.
Why: If a verify job fails, one has to immediately check the
source of the problem, fix it and rerun the verify job.
This has to happen before the next backup of the
verified backup job starts.
More important: It's not possible to check jobs that are
kept for a long time (archiv). If a jobid could be
specified for a verify job, older backups/tapes could be
checked on a regular base.
Notes: verify documentation:
VolumeToCatalog: This level causes Bacula to read the file
attribute data written to the Volume from the last Job [...]
Verify Job = <Job-Resource-Name> If you run a verify job
without this directive, the last job run will be compared
with the catalog, which means that you must immediately
follow a backup by a verify command. If you specify a Verify
Job Bacula will find the last job with that name that ran [...]
