Hi,
I am looking at Bacula
but the line
# Files deleted after a Full save will be included in a restoration.
in
http://www.bacula.org/rel-manual/Current_State_Bacula.html
under
Current Implementation Restrictions
makes me a little apprhensive.
Is Bacula actually not able to backup Directory structures??
i.e
If in a Directory "dir1" I have "file1", "file2" & "file3" and I take a
full backup "backup1" on "Day1" the I delete "file2" from "dir1" and
take a differential backup "backup2".
Now I should be able to restore "dir1" from "backup2" with only "file1"
and "file2"
Sorry :-( this should read as "file1" & "file3"
You _can_ restore file1 file2 and file3 in dir1. However, when you use
bacula to manage a restore and tell it to make a complete restore it
will restore all three files.
If you tell bacula to only use the differential backup then, of course,
file2 will not be restored. Usually you will not do this because it's
baculas job to keep track which jobs and volumes it needs to restore :-)
So, of course bacula saves and retrieves directory structure, but it
does not keep track of deletions.
The latter would require a complete compare of all directory entries to
be backed up with what bacula has in its catalog and thus would be very
resource intensive.

Thankyou so much
