Hello list, sorry that this is a repost, I thought I might give it another shot, maybe there's someone who can answer this now. If not please ignore this :-)
I am running a Bacula setup backing up a small company's fileserver with about 20GiB of data, lots of files, lots of directories. Bacula 1.34.5 on a Gentoo Linux server (client is a MacOS X.3 PowerMac). I'd like to know what the best method would be to restore one or more single files should they get deleted accidentally. >From what I've seen there is only one way to do that, which is to know the exact path and file name. This is simply not possible for my users (and me). The directory structure is complicated and quite deep and the chances to be able to remember exactly where the file was or what its exact name was are very slim, especially if the users discover that they are missing a file several days later. So what are the possibilities? I know there is no Restore-GUI or web client and thus no easy way to see all the files that got backed up on a given day. Does the Gnome console interface for Bacula feature tab completition for file and directory names? I'd really appreciate suggestions from other Bacula users. How do you restore single files when you don't remember the exact path or filename? On a related question: how (well) does Bacula handle German Umlauts in file names? You know, the ö, ä, ü and ß thingies. Hopyfully you can provide me with answers, or links to answers, should this questions have been asked before. Thanks a lot in advance.
