All,
So after another recover on some hard linked files I have yet another
question and problem.
So recovering user yyyy's directory that has hard links to user xxxx's
directory bacula does the right thing of spotting the hard link (in this
case). Now lets go through this step by step:
1) It spots there is a hard link
2) It checks if the place where it was hard linked to still exists
If it is still there:
3a) It just relinks the file
If it is no longer there:
3b) It recovers the original file to its original location
(which may
be user xxxx's or some other users)
4b) It links the file in user yyyy's directory back to the one
in user
xxxx's directory
Now this is all well and good but for the point where the file no longer
exists would this not be better:
3b) It recovers the original file to the location of the file
that you
are actually trying to restore.
So I have /home/yyyy/filea which is hard link to /home/xxxx/filez
Now user yyyy deletes their copy of the file accidently.
User xxxx also deletes their copy of the file knowingly and wanting to
do so.
With bacula's current recovery method (as I see it anyways) then user
xxxx would get back a file that they wanted to delete.
