This is the exact reason I think being able to mount bacula file
backups in Linux would be a great idea. You could mount it, chroot if
you want, and then copy the files you need over.

Hello list, sorry that this is a repost, I thought I might give it

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.
Andreas
