OK , I tried the bextract command :
bextract -V rockprofilesincr-0001 /offsite1/rockprofiles/ /tmp
bextract: butil.c:254 Could not find device "/offsite1/rockprofiles/" in
config file bacula-sd.conf.
30-Mar 16:06 bextract: bextract Fatal error: butil.c:150 Cannot find
device "/offsite1/rockprofiles/" in config file bacula-sd.conf.
I checked my bacula-sd.conf and the archive device DOES exist
#START ROCKPROFILES OFFSITE1 STORAGE DEFINITIONS
Device {
Name = rockprofilesoffsite1FileStorage
Media Type = File
Archive Device = /offsite1/rockprofiles
LabelMedia = yes; # lets Bacula label unlabeled
media
Random Access = Yes;
AutomaticMount = yes; # when device opened, read it
RemovableMedia = no;
AlwaysOpen = no;
I did change my fstab to make the hdd mountable (basically removed the
LABEL=/offsite and give it /dev/sdb1) , can this be the problem?
