Bacula dont delete fisicaly the media when pruning catalog so we
have a media in the storage without the catalog and without any
reference of its existence in bacula, right? A media without the
catalog is useless or there is a way to recover flies from it?
Look in the manual for bextract and bscan. They're in the Utilities
section IIRC. bextract copies directly from media to destination.
bscan reads media and rebuilds (mostly) the catalog.
I have a DVD and Id like to put my medias in there. For example,
medias with less then 30 days is stored on my local hd for faster
recovery. After 30 days bacula automatically or with minimal
intervention copy the media to a DVD storage for example, maybe a
event fired after the media is full or used. My local HD will act like
a pool until the media gets the status of full or used and after that
the media will be moved to a DVD, the catalog pruned or not and a
bootstrap for the media writen with the media in DVD storage.
What I really want is have the same medias in HD and CD the
diference that the media in HD will have data for the last 30 days for
example and in cd will have the data as long as I have the cd, these
CDS I dont know how many time I will stay with it (I have a example
that I need to restore a almost 2 years old backup due fiscalization)
the same time I dont want to fill my catalog with data that maybe I
will need so I mentioned the bootstrap. Maybe a separeted catalog for
cds will be fine too... I dont know.
Is there a way to bacula acomplish with this, sorry for being a bit
confused but it is so many question :)
You'll have to do some testing to see if the above tools work for you.
