Hello Arno,
fine to here again from you! (as always when i need help...) ;-))
a short question to the procedure running bscan.... for that to
complete successfully
i'll need to know which volumes are already "active" (i.e. not purged),
do i?
Yes, as far as I know you do.
I assume that it doesn't do any harm to scan purged volumes - the data
will be inserted into the catalog and use some IDs there, though.
If you can't read baculas labels on the volumes easily you can use btape
(or bls, I think) to find them.
Remember that I would not do this regularly - it's a lot of work and
takes quite long, but when you catalog is broken... Well, one more
reason to do daily catalog backups :-)
Arno
thanks,

So the catalog is broken. Bad, but you should be able to correct it...

I don't know if this is necessary or useful, but that might have caused
the problems.

Have you tried the dbcheck program to repair the database?
I suggest to make sure that bacula is not running when you modify the
database.
Be aware that the database check ca take very long.
You could also start with a new, completely empty catalog, and reinsert
your existing volumes using bscan.

I don't know, but I'm quite sure that using more than one catalog can
result in some difficulties with you bacula setup.
