Package: bareos Version: 14.2.1+20141017gitc6c5b56-4 Severity: critical Justification: causes serious data loss
In March 2015 bareos fixed a bug which caused silent corruption of backups when the following conditions are met: * backups are written to disk (tape backups are not affected) * autolabelling is enabled * a backup spans over multiple volumes * the additional volumes are newly created and labeled during the backup. Bug: https://bugs.bareos.org/view.php?id=437 Announcement: http://www.bareos.com/en/company_news/items/Bareos-14.2.4-published.html Fix for 14.2: https://github.com/bareos/bareos/commit/263240eaa911563a8468ecdaf7d4957201b41426 Given that the above conditions are met in most bareos installations I've tagged this as critical. While I'm at it I'd like to point out that Joerg Steffens, an upstream maintainer, employee and/or partner of bareos.com and co-maintainer of this package in Debian, hasn't found the time to inform the Debian community of this issue, lest providing a patched package. best, Michael -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
