8 NDMJOB is a NDMP-compatible backup/restore package, reference
9 implementation, and conformance test. It is furnished in source
10 code form to the public by Traakan, Inc. and other contributors
11 free of charge or restriction. NDMP (Network Data Management
12 Protocol) is an open protocol for network based backup enabling
13 multi-vendor backup solutions. NDMJOB may be used as a ready-to-run
14 backup package, used in conjunction with other NDMP products,
15 as the basis for new products, as a verification of NDMP products,
16 and as a reference of the NDMP protocol standards and conventions.

31 1-Mar-2000 NDMJOBLIB:1.1 Release
35 A PRE-CONNECTATHON drop of NDMJOB is available. Please see
37 http://www.traakan.com/ndmjob/
39 This is NDMJOBLIB version is 1.1.
41 There has been a fair bit of shake-out. Many bugs
42 are fixed. There will be more shake-out before
43 Connectathon. It really is in pretty good shape.
45 Most of the NDMPv3 work is done. What's missing is the
46 ability to provide a name list (nlist[]) to the RECOVER
47 and RECOVER_FILEHIST. This needs to be discussed
48 because the ndmp3_name is a bit awkward for the
49 tar(1) format. Also, ndmjob -x hasn't been tried
50 and probably won't work.
52 It does to direct and sequential recover of the image
53 stream. There are lots and lots of DATA_READ messages
54 passed around if you enable them with -E RECOVER_DIRECT=yes.
56 The MD5 stuff isn't integrated, but will be by Connectathon.
57 It looks pretty good, and won't take much time.
59 There are template files ndmos_xxx.h and ndmos_xxx.c for the
60 O/S specific portions. ndmos_freebsd.[ch] and ndmos_solaris.[ch]
61 are here, and use the tape simulator. No SCSI support. If you
62 make a new ndmos_xxx.[ch], or fix the ones already here, please
63 be a good sport and contribute them back.
65 There is a new file in the source directory called
66 ThingsToTry. This represents what Traakan will try
67 with NDMJOB as a CONTROL agent (client) at Connectathon.
69 Please send comments, questions, bug reports to ndmp-tech@ndmp.org.
70 Please send contributions, like ndmos_xxx.[ch] and bug fixes, to
82 1.2 Connectathon, Mar-2-2000. Improved tests. Integration
83 of contributions and bug fixes. While at Connectathon,
84 NDMJOB will be adapted real-time to reflect consensus.
86 1.3 Post Connectathon. Week of Mar-13-2000. Changes at
87 Connectathon integrated.

104 This is the PREVIEW drop of NDMJOB. The NDMJOBLIB version is 1.0.
106 The NDMPv3 work isn't quite finished. It's close. It's taking
107 more than I expected. The Makefile here disables the NDMPv3
108 features. You can re-enable them. It does compile, and some
111 There are template files ndmos_xxx.h and ndmos_xxx.c for the
112 O/S specific portions. ndmos_freebsd.[ch] and ndmos_solaris.[ch]
113 are here, and use the tape simulator. No SCSI support. If you
114 make a new ndmos_xxx.[ch], or fix the ones already here, please
115 be a good sport and contribute them back.
117 It's been quite a while and a few hundred changes since I've
118 put NDMJOB through it's paces. Bugs and quirks are likely.
