Michel,
I think you may be right about the File Retention vs. Job Retention--see
config below.
I have no problem with restoring the entire job, but it doesn't seem to
work, if I understand you correctly. Here is a synopsis of what I did:
1. Use Query command to get all jobs for client
2. Job 6 is first one listed, a full backup
3. Plan is to restore each job, from earliest to latest
4. Select job 6 for restore
5. Bacula reads job 6, but reports "1 Job, 0 files inserted into the
tree."
Am I missing something?
Let me make sure I understand the procedure for updating the catalog
with the contents of the backup files. I need to make sure I am
perfectly clear as the lack of sleep this is causing is making me pretty
punchy :-)
1. Make backup of database. Since this is a sqlite DB, can I just
make a copy of /var/lib/bacula/bacula.db?
2. Run bsan in read-only mode: bscan -c /etc/bacula/bacula-sd.conf -v
-V
PaulFull-1\|PaulFull-2\|PaulFull-3\|PaulDiff-3\|PaulDiff-4\|PaulDiff-1
/var/lib/bacula/backups/paul
3. If it looks OK, do it for real: bscan -s -m -c
/etc/bacula/bacula-sd.conf -v -V
PaulFull-1\|PaulFull-2\|PaulFull-3\|PaulDiff-3\|PaulDiff-4\|PaulDiff-1
/var/lib/bacula/backups/paul
4. Now that the catalog reflects what is really in the backup files,
restore using desired job numbers
Hopefully this is all there is too it. Thanks for the help!
