Sorry to "spam" the list, but just wanted to write a followup to my previous mails (in case someone else experiences the same problems).
I've restarted bextract with '-p' option, and I got backup files back. No errors were printed, it just mentioned at the end "bextract Error: 5 block read errors not printed.". I assume there were errors during restore, but I'll yet have to figure out which files were corrupted (there are few dozen thousand files restored). What puzzled me, though, is the restore process 'logic'. I first saw bextract restore files from April 4th (which was the 1st full backup date). Then it "did its thing", and restored them once again. Then it started restoring April 5th, 6th, then displayed that it's extracting April 4th files all over again. Then it would restore files from few more following days, then April 4th again. And so on, until it restored everything til May 11th. I only wonder if this is intended behaviour (I do make 1 full backup/month, 1 differential/week, incrementals for the rest). Anyway, even if I just installed bacula for testing, it ended up saving my ass big time. Although I've lost all bacula related files, except volume file, it was still possible to restore things back. I've only lost 1 day worth of files (hdd crashed before scheduled 1AM backup, argh), but it's just a minor annoynance comparing to what would've happened if bacula was not running.
