Hello friends. This problem has bothered me for the whole weekend. I have an old backup I want to restore some specific files from. The backup spans three tapes, 00203, 00204 and 00205. The data is (probably) gone from the bacula MySQL database so I started out using the b-tools, bls and bextract. bls said that the data I was looking for was on tape 00204:
...
But when i loaded tape 00204 and started to extract information from the tape, the listed files are not there:
...
Any guesses to what might differ between the bls and bextract programs? What are the "*none*" markers from the bextract program? Can the fact that this was a bextract of Windows files on a linux machine make any difference? (The documentation says no: the drive letter will just be removed)
While I'm not sure, I guess that perhaps even bextract is not able to restore non-portable windows files to a linux restore machine.
Some filenames has been changed to protect the innocent. Bacula verion 1.36.0 installed from RPM running MySQL 3.23.58 database backend on RHES 3 Update 6, if it's important. Exabyte 230D tape library using 30 DLT7000 tapes and one drive, if thats important. Any help much appreciated, since I am truly puzzled.
Have you tried bscanning the tapes in question into the catalog, and then restoring to a windows machine?
