[Bacula-users] Windows restore problems

[Ray Pengelly]

Something weird is going on with Windows restores. I have been over the manual. I have been testing and recreating this problem and cannot figure out what is going on. This might be a bit lengthy but I don’t know how else to explain it.   I was running bacula 1.36.1 and I upgraded to 1.36.2 on the sd  and client to ensure it still happened.   If run a job that backups a number of files on a windows client. In this case the Files are located at C:\Stuff. Here is the FileSet, JobDef and Job entries in my bacula-dir.conf:   JobDefs {   Name = "RADAR"   Client = radar-fd   Type = Backup   Storage = L25   Messages = Standard } Job {   Name = "RADAR"   Client = radar-fd   FileSet = "TestSet"   JobDefs = "RADAR"   Level = Full   Pool =CIHR } FileSet {   Name = "TestSet"   Include {    Options {     signature = MD5    }   File = "c:/Stuff/Docs"   }   Exclude {   } }   I ran “RADAR” and it shows up job 620 ran and backed up 275 files and 25,245,391 Bytes. Status came back as OK.   I then renamed the C:\Stuff\Docs file to C:\Stuff\Docs.old. I ran a restore job to put the file back. Here is what the console spits out: #restore   First you select one or more JobIds that contain files to be restored. You will be presented several methods of specifying the JobIds. Then you will be allowed to select which files from those JobIds are to be restored.   To select the JobIds, you have the following choices:      1: List last 20 Jobs run      2: List Jobs where a given File is saved      3: Enter list of comma separated JobIds to select      4: Enter SQL list command      5: Select the most recent backup for a client      6: Select backup for a client before a specified time      7: Enter a list of files to restore      8: Enter a list of files to restore before a specified time      9: Cancel Select item:  (1-9): Unexpected question has been received. 3 Enter JobId(s), comma separated, to restore: Unexpected question has been received. 620 You have selected the following JobId: 620   Building directory tree for JobId 620 ...  1 Job, 1 files inserted into the tree.   You are now entering file selection mode where you add (mark) and remove (unmark) files to be restored. No files are initially added, unless you used the "all" keyword on the command line. Enter "done" to leave this mode.   cwd is: / $ cd c: cwd is: c:/ $ cd Stuff cwd is: c:/Stuff/ $ ls Docs $ mark Docs 1 files marked. $ done Bootstrap records written to /bacula/working/restore.bsr   The job will require the following Volumes:       FTY306S1     1 file selected to be restored.   The defined Restore Job resources are:      1: RestoreFiles      2: RestoreWin      3: RestoreRADAR Select Restore Job (1-3): Unexpected question has been received. 3 Defined Clients:      1: biomed3-fd      2: rfstore-fd      3: dmstore-fd      4: braindb-fd      5: sol1-fd      6: brain-fd      7: mdstore-fd      8: mpstore-fd      9: storage-fd     10: ss2-fd     11: radar-fd     12: testy-fd Select the Client (1-12): Unexpected question has been received. 11 Run Restore job JobName:    RestoreRADAR Bootstrap:  /bacula/working/restore.bsr Where:      *None* Replace:    always FileSet:    TestSet Client:     radar-fd Storage:    L25 When:       2005-03-31 11:26:43 Catalog:    MyCatalog Priority:   10 OK to run?

This was C:/Stuff/Docs. There was nothing inside of it when restored. It seems bacula is backed up properly. I can’t understand why it can’t retrieve the files back. Any ideas? All of my unix backups work fine. It’s only for windows clients that this happens.   I gladly send off my bacula-dir.conf if anyone needs it.   Ray       Ray Pengelly Computing Technologist CIHR Group In Sensory-Motor Systems Queen's University 613-533-6000 x74139 [EMAIL PROTECTED]   "Wouldn't it be great if life were like windows where you could hit ctrl-alt-delete and start over when things go wrong?" - Anonymous   "How about life being like Unix where they don't mess up in the first place" - Ray
