Greetings! I am still completely unable to have hald automatically mount my two USB external hard drives to a specific directory, rather than the "usbdisk" it creates in /media for whichever one is turned on.
But, now I have accidentally deleted a file (/vmware/Windows 98/Windows 98.vmx), and I am trying to restore just this file. In gnome-console, I choose restore. I then select 5 (Select the most recent backup for a client). I then select 2 (Full Set). (I'm having it select from the following two files: /media/usbdisk/ Full-2005-12-3-1-5-5 Diff-2005-12-31-1-5-5) It builds directory trees, and then it puts me in file selection mode. I cd into "vmware/Windows\ 98" and mark the file "Windows\ 98.vmx" and the dir command shows an asterisk next to it, and it says 1 file marked. I type "done" and then I select 1 (RestoreFiles). It then gives me the following: Run Restore job JobName: RestoreFiles Bootstrap: /var/bacula/working/restore.bsr Where: /tmp/bacula-restores Replace: always FileSet: Full Set Client: barrycon-fd Storage: Files When: 2006-01-02 16:45:47 Catalog: barryconCatalog Priority: 10 OK to run? (yes/mod/no): ...and I select yes, and it starts the job. I then get an error saying: 02-Jan 16:46 barrycon-dir: Start Restore Job RestoreFiles.2006-01-02_16.46.18 02-Jan 16:46 barrycon-sd: RestoreFiles.2006-01-02_16.46.18 Fatal error: Archive "USBSimpleTech400GB" requested by DIR could not be opened or does not exist. 02-Jan 16:46 barrycon-dir: RestoreFiles.2006-01-02_16.46.18 Fatal error: Storage daemon didn't accept Device "USBSimpleTech400GB" because: 3925 Device "USBSimpleTech400GB" could not be opened or does not exist. 02-Jan 16:46 barrycon-dir: RestoreFiles.2006-01-02_16.46.18 Error: Bacula 1.36.3 (22Apr05): 02-Jan-2006 16:46:21 JobId: 54 Job: RestoreFiles.2006-01-02_16.46.18 Client: barrycon-fd Start time: 02-Jan-2006 16:46:20 End time: 02-Jan-2006 16:46:21 Files Expected: 1 Files Restored: 0 Bytes Restored: 0 Rate: 0.0 KB/s FD Errors: 0 FD termination status: SD termination status: Termination: *** Restore Error *** ...it can't find USBSimpleTech400GB. I'm not sure where it's getting this. I (was thinking that I) tested this, back around October, when I first started using bacula. I did successfully restore. (Though, come to think of it, it was a *complete* restore, of a very small [around 20 files] backup.) My bacula.dir.conf (an excerpt) shows: # Definiton of file storage device Storage { Name = Files # Do not use "localhost" here Address = barrycon.cfl.rr.com # N.B. Use a fully qualified name here SDPort = 9103 Password = "uM9GkDbpOss0lHv/iRIsze3JKnfOVmI5Ka0dV8ebUi18" Device = USB SimpleTech 400GB external hard drive Media Type = File } # Standard Restore template, to be changed by Console program Job { Name = "RestoreFiles" Type = Restore Client=barrycon-fd FileSet="Full Set" Storage = Files Pool = Default Messages = Standard Where = /tmp/bacula-restores } And the bacula-sd.conf (an excerpt) shows: Device { Name = USB SimpleTech 400GB external hard drive Media Type = File Archive Device = /media/usbdisk LabelMedia = yes; # lets Bacula label unlabeled media Random Access = Yes; AutomaticMount = no; # when device opened, read it RemovableMedia = no; AlwaysOpen = no; } (I'm planning on this drive being /media/simpletech if and when I can get the system to automatically mount the USB drive to /media/simpletech, but I have not been successful at this. So, it is currently mounting it as /media/usbdisk. This shouldn't matter, for the restore.) What (probably obvious) thing am I overlooking? Thank you!
