Hey, We're running Bacula 1.36.3 on Debian/Sarge (standard Debian packages) on a standard PC (AMD Athlon XP, IDE hard discs, one HP DDS4 SCSI streamer). We're backing up six Linux clients and one Windows client simultaneously, meaning the data from the clients is interleaved on the tapes.
Now I wanted to try getting data from such a backup using bextract but wasn't successful at all. I'm trying to simulate the "worst case" that could happen to us which would be not even having bootstrap files. So I ended up trying mkdir /tmp/bacula-restore-test mt -f /dev/nst0 rewind bextract -c /etc/bacula/bacula-sd.conf -V montag_1 /dev/nst0 /tmp/bacula-restore-test But that gave me tons of strange messages: 1. bextract: drwx------ 2 root root 16384 2005-06-21 15:53:04 *none* These ones happen a lot, for all directories appearantly. Maybe it's the same as in the other thread about such entries, I'm not sure. 2. bextract: lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 28 2005-06-21 15:55:24 *none* -> /usr/share/man/man1/vim.1.gz Symlinks... Interesting. 3. 06-Feb 17:14 bextract: bextract Error: attribs.c:339 File size of restored file /tmp/bres-test//etc/bash_completion not correct. Original 150303, restored 65536. These happen from time to time. 4. 06-Feb 17:14 bextract: bextract Error: Unknown stream=15 ignored. This shouldn't happen! Oy!? So my guess is that bextract cannot cope with interleaved backups. Is that correct? Would it work with bootstrap files? Can bscan correctly read such archives? What would be my options if I lost both my catalog and my bootstrap files?
