This is a list of development work which needs to be done for the ABS 1. Slave load balancing - slaves should keep statitistics regarding transfer rates during AFS dump and restore operations. If they notice that the transfer rate is decreasing, they should "slow" down their requests for data. This will help ensure that dumps don't overload a server. 3. Suppport for restoring from an AFS tape. (miki) 4. code cleanup 5. Web interface for some of the db only commands. 6. Scan with insert option. Allows contents of Tape Scan to be inserted into the database. 7. Reports. SQL scripts to generate the following reports: volume to tape mappings. show volumes not dumped during specified time period. This is a list of future considerations for the ABS 1. Support the concept of abs administrators for cells. Allow delegation of abs administrator function for certain cells. This means that an abs administrator for a particular cell can only manage data related to that cell. 2. Revisit the notion of having the ABS assign tapes to jobs so that operators are told which tapes to mount for dumps. 3. Improved job cancellation semantics. 4. Improved autoqueue mode. 5. Support for incremental dumps. 6. Support servers in other DNS domains
