Hello.
I wrote this mail to the list few days ago, and got no response. Please
answer me, that is the last step to get all my backup system
functionning (I actually can launch restores from the console, but I
really would like to be able to launch it from a web interface).
----Original message----
Hello.
Please excuse my bad level in English (I'm French).
I've recently installed bweb and it seems to work perfectly : I can have
statistics, client status, launch predefined jobs, etc...
Everything seems to work except I can't seem to run restore : In bweb,
in the "jobs" submenu, there is "Restore", but when I click on it, it
opens a window and asks me what I want to do with bweb.pl (save to disk,
or open with a selected program).
I've seen the GUI brestore is a Perl/Gtk interface that is supposed to
work with bweb to run restoration jobs. I thought I had to install it to
make the bweb Jobs > Restore feature works. I have read and followed the
instructions in the INSTALL file, except it tells me to "copy the bsr
file where the director can access it" and i have no bsr files. It also
tells me to configure brestore preferences, but I can't find the
brestore configuration file.
Can anyone help me ? Maybe there is something i didn't understand.
PS : the server I am trying to install brestore has no X server
installed on it, so I can't use brestore as a simple graphical interface
and I have to make it useable via bweb.
PPS : I am using bacula 2.0.3 compiled from the sources, and I use the
last bweb and brestore files from the SVN.
PPPS : I already posted on the bacula-user list for another problem
(resolved) with another mail account (it was my personal mail, now I am
using the professional one)
Thank you

Now i have installed brestore on a client machine that do have a X
server, and associated the mime type to brestore. I can now launch
brestore on the client, and configure it to communicate with the
director. I have understood that the "bsr files" in brestore
documentation are the bootstrap files generated by brestore.
One thing I don't understand is that brestore gives me a code line to
paste into the bconsole to launch the restore. Why do I have to
copy/paste it, why doesn't brestore launch it by itself (it knows where
the bconsole is).
Another thing I don't understand is that now that i have installed
brestore on a client, when I try to click on Restore in bweb from that
client, I get an error like "can't create /tmp-1, permission denied".
When i set the permission to create directories on /, I get the same
window as I had before ("what to do with bweb.pl, open it or save it to
disk").
Here is the main question :
What do I need to do to make the Jobs > Restore feature of bweb work ?
I know my english is terrible, if you don't understand what I mean
please tell me, I would try to explain better.
Thank you in advance for answering
