Hi, I only want bacula to read each tape to make sure the tape is ok. I don't need the tripwire style checks. which verify level will do this?
with each backup checksums are written to the catalog (signature=MD5 flag on the Include line in the fileset). so I hope bacula can read the tape and check the md5 is still the same - using the catalog data, not the data on the server (which will have changed in the meantime for all open files, like log files etc.). I checked the bacula documentation http://www.bacula.org/rel-manual/Configuring_Director.html and I guess "VolumeToCatalog" is what I want. but in that case bacula will only compare the attributes on the tape to the catalog? i.e. it will not check if the file data on the tape results in the same md5 that is stored in the attribute data (both on tape and in the catalog)? Also I don't understand why this option changes the catalog. could someone help me and explain the situation? I'm a bit puzzled. Thanks for your help.
