I have just found that the volume retention was set to 2 days instead of
2 weeks, and I want to restore from a volume that was backed up 4 days
ago.
Obviously the catalog isn't there, but if I understand correctly I
should be able to use 'bscan' to re-read the volume and re-populate the
catalog.
I issued the command 'bscan -m -s -S /vol/backup/bacula/XXXXX0003', and
it went through (took ages) and finally said:
"
bscan: bscan.c:349 First Volume Size = 27935562251n12-Jul 19:43 bscan:
End of al
l volumes.
bscan: bscan.c:626 End of all Volumes. VolFiles=6 VolBlocks=0
VolBytes=27,919,97
7,429
Records added or updated in the catalog:
1 Media
1 Pool
2 Job
558666 File
"
But the records do not appear to be there to restore from. I increased
the volume retention period to 6 months and ran bscan again, but still
no records...
I have since used bextract to get the data I wanted, and apart from
saying "Error: Unknown stream=15 ignored" several hundred thousand
times, it did successfully restore the data, and quite quickly. I would
like to make the process work the way it is supposed to though.
Any suggestions? Am I doing something wrong? Would it help to delete the
volume completely from the catalog and then import it?
Thanks
James
