Aha, I somehow missed the option to change the restore client. However,
after trying that: it fails with either complaints about the path (trying
to restore a file backed up from a Windows client to a Linux client)
"Error: Cannot create directory /mnt/bacula/restores/c:: ERR=No such file
or directory") or "Error: Missing private key required to decrypt encrypted
backup data."
The former can probably be worked around by using a Windows client to
restore to, which I have not tried yet. I did run into a problem using
pathnames restoring from/to the same client though:
The way it's described in the manual doesn't work properly (only allows
restore of single files), need to use forward slashes and lower case drive
letters, so instead of
File = "C:\\Documents and Settings\\Administrator\\My Documents\\Bacula",
File = "c:/Documents and Settings/Administrator/My Documents/Bacula"
To fix the encryption thing I tried copying the client's .pem, .key and
.cert files to /etc/bacula/ on the director (which also runs the storage
daemon) but to no avail, same error message. The subdirs and file are
created, but the file has size 0.
It also complains about not being able to set permissions for all the
subdirs and files it tries to create although all daemons have as group
bacula (restoring to a Samba mount, but /mnt/bacula also has group bacula).
All permissions are correct as far as I can see (writable by group etc.).
Also, lsmark doesn't show files unless you are in the directory the files
were marked in.
Lastly, is there an option not to restore the full path, just the file?
