Yes, you have.

As a first step:
Make a backup of your current catalog. No need to write it into a tape, a 
file will be enough. Have a look at the run-before-job- directive of your 
catalog backup job definition, you propably may copy the command to (system) 
command prompt as it is.

It will result in a BIG file, depending on the size of your catalog it may 
be from megabytes to gigabyte(s). Propably in /var/lib/bacula. You may still 
want to rename this file so there is even less chance you could accidentally 
overwite it.

Secondly, make absolutely sure you won't write anyting into the 
Full_App_0001 volume. If the tape has write-protect notch, use it. Or modify 
the catalog bits to "used" and "recycle=0". Or something similar. It will be 
a final disaster if any job (a scheduled or a manually started one) starts 
writing into the tape that was marked "recycled".

Then, run bscan on that tape, to get it back into your catalog. I've done 
this once years ago, and it was slooow at that time. I guess the latest 
bacula can do it much faster, so if you have old version it might be worth 
of upgrading first.

If everything goes well, you'll now have the contents of the tape in your 
catalog, and you are able to run a regular restore. If something went badly 
wrong, you can always resume your original catalog from the ascii dump file 
you created.
So no big need to worry about messing with the catalog, what you need to 
worry about is not to mess with your physical tape!


Good luck!

Regards,
Timo
