You could also do a fresh install and bscan tapes, but this takes longer. Someone can chime in and correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe you can start with the current version of Bacula -- you do not have to go to 1.38.5 (and if you're going to install 1.38, you should at least use .11). =R John Fitzpatrick wrote: > > Hello everyone, > > Short story hard disk failed, main bacula release 1.38.5 was installed > here so cannot access catalog > > A full backup of everything was taken the night before so the catalog > was backed up to lto tape > > Question is now what is best to do? > > locate 1.38.5 bacula version then install this setting up storage daemon > et all > > but will i be able to get the catalog from the tapes - -- ---- _ _ _ _ ___ _ _ _ |Y#| | | |\/| | \ |\ | | |Ryan Novosielski - Systems Programmer II |$&| |__| | | |__/ | \| _| |novos...@umdnj.edu - 973/972.0922 (2-0922) \__/ Univ. of Med. and Dent.|IST/CST - NJMS Medical Science Bldg - C630 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAkp8mGYACgkQmb+gadEcsb73XACfZq3ore6dq6gDQTHe6kemOPQE R54AmgL89/LPTa+wc0gct6C71BctbhYE =Ocqa -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.
