Dear Users,
a year ago, a former colleague of mine created a simple bacula job
definition to archive our (large) data set - against my advice. (normally
we've used home-grown scripts to feed bacula short lists of files to
archive) Over the following few weeks this job filled 103 SDLTs with
data, in one single continuous job. After a couple of failures which
meant restarting and losing weeks.
Due to an unrelated stuff-up the tape contents were lost from the
catalogue - a misconfiguration no-one picked up led to it being
auto-pruned.
I have tried bscanning individual tapes, and sets of consecutive tapes
from the start, but the bscan fails to "find" any jobs or files ie.
nothing added to DB. Am I right in theorising that you actually need to
bscan all 103 tapes in a single run to re-populate the catalogue? Do you
have to get the order right?
We're running bacula-mysql-2.4.0-1 on RHEL4.
Btw this is all academic now - we decided it was too impractical to try
this and have moved on to a better solution. I'm asking mostly for
interest, and to fill out my bacula knowledge. So there's no real urgency
to answer - you have time to finish rolling around on the floor laughing.
;)
Thanks
Glen
