Hi, I hope someone can help me with this one.
Someone approached me to help with their Bacula but the guy who set it up has left and they are in a bit of a sticky situation. First the nitty gritty: Bacula 1.38.1 with MySQL RHEL 4 Using a Dell PV-124T with LTO3 These people have different backups pools namely - Daily with 10 volumes Weekly with 4 volumes Monthly with 36 volumes and should have had a volume retention period of 1095 days because they keep the Monthly backups for three years The client wants to restore a file on a volume that is 1 year old and because the File, job and volume retentions were specified incorrectly the entire job was purged from the catalog, a long with other monthly backup jobs, and I have no reference of those Volumes or jobs in the catalog except for the bsr files. Is there a way that I can restore files from that volume using the bsr files or one better, can I use the bsr files to rebuild the catalog and set the correct retention periods where applicable and if that is possible how will I go about doing it? I tried searching the net, the user list and the manual for similar situations but was unable to find anything. Can anyone help me or GENTLY point out that it is in the manual and that I missed it? -- Janco van der Merwe Open Solutions Tel: 011 305 2887 Cell: 083 291 8536 Fax: 0866978875 __________________________________________________________________________ Think not those faithful who praise all thy words and actions; but those who kindly reprove thy faults.
