Any of the volume utility tools might be relevant - bextract, bscan etc. http://www.bacula.org/3.0.x-manuals/en/utility/utility/Bacula_Utility_Programs.html I'd try to create a suitable sd configuration file with a DVD drive as the storage device (never done this, so maybe others on the list can offer more specific advice): http://www.bacula.org/3.0.x-manuals/en/install/install/Storage_Daemon_Configuratio.html and then use bextract to dump the contents of the volume with a command line like this: bextract -c sd.conf <DVD storage device name from sd.conf> <target dump directory> Note that, according to the manual, bextract doesn't handle encrypted volumes. Hope this helps, Avi. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Verizon Developer Community Take advantage of Verizon's best-in-class app development support A streamlined, 14 day to market process makes app distribution fast and easy Join now and get one step closer to millions of Verizon customers http://p.sf.net/sfu/verizon-dev2dev _______________________________________________ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users
