Hi everybody, I sent the following email: "Well, I am having a quite different problem that people use to see. (I think) I am using Fedora Core 4 as a network server. I set up a backup configuration so, as everybody, I would have less work to do manually. However, The university where I work, experienced an energy crash. I don't the reason itself, I had also a configuration problem with fedora after this problem. While I was trying to fix it, I saw myself without any other option than rebuild the network server all over again. This is the time I encountered my biggest problem to restore file from bacula. I forgot to save the bacula's catolog, but remember to save the backup I made with bacula. Actually, I haven't lost any files during the process, but I was thing about restore a file I deleted from my home directory from the backup I made. Well, making a long story short. I asked bacula to look for a recent backup, but in its catalog it didn't make any backup. So I tried to add the backup I had into restore's navegation itens... without any success. At last, I tried to forge a fake reading of the backup I made by making another backup and rename my last one to a new one. I don't need to say that it was an idiot idea. =P After tried everything I could thing until now, I decided to send an email to here and see if anyone can help me with this problem. A Full backup made that I wanna restore, but I don't have any catalog's information. "
I tried to do what Michael said, however it seems to get into a loop or something like that. I use the following command on my terminal: bscan -s -m -c bacula-sd.conf -v -V Full_Koala_0002 /backup/koala It starts like: bscan: butil.c:283 Using device: "/backup/koala" for reading. 01-Mar 08:55 bscan: Ready to read from volume "Full_Koala_0002" on device "FileStorage" (/backup/koala). bscan: bscan.c:288 Using Database: bacula, User: bacula bscan: bscan.c:426 Pool record for Full_Koala found in DB. bscan: bscan.c:440 Pool type "Backup" is OK. bscan: bscan.c:450 Media record for Full_Koala_0002 found in DB. bscan: bscan.c:468 Media type "File" is OK. bscan: bscan.c:477 VOL_LABEL: OK for Volume: Full_Koala_0002 bscan: bscan.c:495 SOS_LABEL: Found Job record for JobId: 12 After that, I can do anything else. Or even start the restore process. Is it normal to take so much time? or probably I did something wrong again? If anyone know about this situation, please, feel free to say it. -- Eduardo Trzan ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
