I defined two parameters: Volume name = volname and Count = 1. My understanding was that once the number of restored files hit the Count value bextract would stop. This wasn't the case. I also used an include-list file when running bextract so there may be a clash when using -b and -i command-line options. I wasn't able to provide all the parameters to use just a bootstrap file. Details are: bextract -b bootstrap-file -i include-list -V TAPE_04 /dev/nst0 /mnt/restores include-list file contents: /Backups/VM09_Full_backup.vbk bootstrap-file file contents: Volume = TAPE_04 Count = 1 In the end I used the interrupt approach -- once the first file was restored I interrupted the bextract process before it got to the second occurrence of the file. Ironically this is the only tape in the entire monthly backup set that includes the same file twice! cby -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/bextract----restore-single-occurrence-of-file-tp25905115p25937562.html Sent from the Bacula - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Come build with us!
