My home bacula server died hard the other day. No problem, everything is
backed up. So I rebuilt the server with new hard disks, built a minimal
bacula config (I can restore the old one from tape, right?) and bscanned
the volumes back into the catalog. That seemed to go well. (jobid#,
193,924 files, etc)
However, when I am trying now to restore the data it can't find it.
Checking the jobs in the catalog appears to show only the catalog backups.
Interesting... are you sure you scanned all volumes into the catalog?
This is fast becoming frustrating. How do I get the full catalog restored
so that I can restore the data?
What I usually do or recommend:
bextract the volume(s) with the latest catalog dump. That one is easiest
found if you look into the associated bootstrap file (which can easily
be saved to another machine, emailed to some mailaccount in another
location, or automatically printed out after the job is done).
Then, recreate your catalog using the proper database tool like 'mysql
<bacula_catalog.sql.dump' or 'psql <bacula...' IIRC.
After that, you should find the catalog populated with everything that
was in there before the computer crashed. (In case of a breakdown during
operation, you might have to bscan the volumes written after the last
usable catalog dump, of course.)
Or better yet, just let me restore ALL of it into one of the hard disk
subdirectories?
bextract...
Amanda at the least was in native dump format so I could manually restore
it...
Yes, that's fine as long as all your backups fit onto one volume...
assuming a logical volume with todays large disks it's very hard to find
a tape drive for amanda and several hundred Gig of data...

Assuming the above actually are your database dumps, have you tried
restoring the latest one, loading it into the database, and see what
Bacula then reports as available jobs?
