Okay, so your current scenario is: - you lost a server which was being backed up by Bacula - you have reinstalled a new debian system to replace it, but want to recover data from the original - someone else set up Bacula originally - you're fairly new to Bacula Is this correct? If so, here's what I would suggest doing. - configure networking on the new machine - configure Bacula on it also - on the server, launch bconsole and use the restore command This should allow you to get back any data that was backed up from the original server. Make sure to check the manual for anything you're unsure of. http://bacula.org/en/rel-manual/Restore_Command.html -- Frank Sweetser fs at wpi.edu | For every problem, there is a solution that WPI Senior Network Engineer | is simple, elegant, and wrong. - HL Mencken GPG fingerprint = 6174 1257 129E 0D21 D8D4 E8A3 8E39 29E3 E2E8 8CEC ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
