bscan will feed the contents to the catalog immediately, and this might not be what you want. For only checking the contents, bls would be a better solution. > but I'm not sure how to mount this file as a volume; if that's even > possible. You don't have to mount this volume from Bacula. The volume tools operate on the volume media directly. > It's likely my conf files now are very different than they > were when this was created. Any suggestions? First check what's inside that volume. If you find the contents clashes with your current configuration (i.e. clients or pools you don't have any more) I'd suggest to use bextract to load the volumes data to a working directory, and back the files up with a new job. > Running this on a current Archlinux box; believe the latest version of > bacula. As long as your volume tools are at least as recent as the version with which you wrote that volume, no problems are to be expected. Even if you created that volume with an older version, the contenst *should* be understandable by current Bacula. ... and good luck finding your missing file :-) Arno > __________________________________________________ > Do You Yahoo!? > Tired of spam?
