Dear All,
we run bacula-mysql-1.36.3-1 with a bunch of homegrown perl scripts
under Linux (RHEL3). We use it to archive (static, structured data) not
for incremental backups. Yesterday I made the dreaded mistake of
purging the wrong tapes - 22 of such. :(
We have decided that the easiest solution is just to re-archive the data
- our scripts will handle that trivially. But we are worried about
files from the ends of the purged tapes. Will bacula cleverly work out
that the half-file it has at the end of tape X is useless because the
other half has been purged? And therefore remove it from the catalog,
so that my script can realise it should be re-archived? If not, any
suggestions?
I'm not sure I undestand your problem, but that might because of your
scripts.
When you know the jobs that were on the purged tapes you could simply
purge or delete these jobs, too. After that, there sholdn't remain any
information of the jobs in the catalog.
Likewise for half files at the start of tapes.
At least it should be clear that purging tapes is not a good idea ;-)
Anyway, instead of re-running your backups you could also scan the tape
contents into the catalog - which only works as long as you haven't
overwriten any of them.
Arno
Thanks
