There are several new interesting features in the upcoming Bacula release. Including, but not limited to:

• “Accurate” backups regardless of mtime, mv, rm, etc
• Copy Jobs
• Virutal Backup / Synthetic Backup / Consolidation
• Duplicate Job Control
• TLS Authentication
• Ignore Dir
• Honor No Dump Flag
• Plugins
• libdbi framework

These features are being added to the development 2.5.x versions to be released as Bacula version 3.0.0. This release is expected to occur near the end of 2008.
