Below is the original README file + + +**************************************************************** + + +NDMJOB is a NDMP-compatible backup/restore package, reference +implementation, and conformance test. It is furnished in source +code form to the public by Traakan, Inc. and other contributors +free of charge or restriction. NDMP (Network Data Management +Protocol) is an open protocol for network based backup enabling +multi-vendor backup solutions. NDMJOB may be used as a ready-to-run +backup package, used in conjunction with other NDMP products, +as the basis for new products, as a verification of NDMP products, +and as a reference of the NDMP protocol standards and conventions. + +http://www.traakan.com/ndmjob NDMJOB latest source and docs +http://www.ndmp.org NDMP protocol status and info +mailto:ndmp-tech@ndmp.org Questions, comments and bug reports. +mailto:ndmjob@traakan.com Contributions and bug fixes + + + + + + + +================================================================ + +1-Mar-2000 NDMJOBLIB:1.1 Release + +Howdy NDMP Folx, + +A PRE-CONNECTATHON drop of NDMJOB is available. Please see + + http://www.traakan.com/ndmjob/ + +This is NDMJOBLIB version is 1.1. + +There has been a fair bit of shake-out. Many bugs +are fixed. There will be more shake-out before +Connectathon. It really is in pretty good shape. + +Most of the NDMPv3 work is done. What's missing is the +ability to provide a name list (nlist[]) to the RECOVER +and RECOVER_FILEHIST. This needs to be discussed +because the ndmp3_name is a bit awkward for the +tar(1) format. Also, ndmjob -x hasn't been tried +and probably won't work. + +It does to direct and sequential recover of the image +stream. There are lots and lots of DATA_READ messages +passed around if you enable them with -E RECOVER_DIRECT=yes. + +The MD5 stuff isn't integrated, but will be by Connectathon. +It looks pretty good, and won't take much time. + +There are template files ndmos_xxx.h and ndmos_xxx.c for the +O/S specific portions. ndmos_freebsd.[ch] and ndmos_solaris.[ch] +are here, and use the tape simulator. No SCSI support. If you +make a new ndmos_xxx.[ch], or fix the ones already here, please +be a good sport and contribute them back. + +There is a new file in the source directory called +ThingsToTry. This represents what Traakan will try +with NDMJOB as a CONTROL agent (client) at Connectathon. + +Please send comments, questions, bug reports to ndmp-tech@ndmp.org. +Please send contributions, like ndmos_xxx.[ch] and bug fixes, to +ndmjob@traakan.com. + +Regards, + -gww + + + + +PLANNED DROPS +============= + +1.2 Connectathon, Mar-2-2000.

Please see + + http://www.traakan.com/ndmjob/ + +This is the PREVIEW drop of NDMJOB. The NDMJOBLIB version is 1.0. + +The NDMPv3 work isn't quite finished. It's close. It's taking +more than I expected. The Makefile here disables the NDMPv3 +features. You can re-enable them. It does compile, and some +things work. + +There are template files ndmos_xxx.h and ndmos_xxx.c for the +O/S specific portions. ndmos_freebsd.[ch] and ndmos_solaris.[ch] +are here, and use the tape simulator. No SCSI support. If you +make a new ndmos_xxx.[ch], or fix the ones already here, please +be a good sport and contribute them back. + +It's been quite a while and a few hundred changes since I've +put NDMJOB through it's paces. Bugs and quirks are likely. + +Please send comments, questions, bug reports to ndmp-tech@ndmp.org. +Please send contributions, like ndmos_xxx.[ch] and bug fixes, to +ndmjob@traakan.com. + +Regards, + -gww + + + + +PLANNED DROPS +============= + +1.1 Week of Feb-21-2000.
