Using what? Do you mean select specific files for restore, or do you mean you want to search backed-up data for a specific file without knowing beforehand where it was backed up from? Or something else again? The first is, of course, built in. The second would require a custom SQL query (via the console sqlquery command) to locate the file so that you could select it for restore. Probably something somewhat like this ought to do it, assuming you know the client it was backed up from: SELECT j.Job, p.Path, n.Name FROM File AS f LEFT JOIN Path AS p ON f.PathID = p.PathId LEFT JOIN Filename AS n ON f.FilenameId = n.FilenameId LEFT JOIN Job AS j ON f.JobId = j.JobId LEFT JOIN Client AS c ON j.ClientID = c.ClientId WHERE c.Name = "your client here" AND n.Name = "your filename here" ORDER BY j.Job, p.Path; here's an example, run directly against the Catalog because I didn't feel like firing up a Bacula console just to make a SQL query :) mysql> SELECT p.Path, n.Name FROM File AS f LEFT JOIN Path AS p ON f.PathID = p.PathId LEFT JOIN Filename AS n ON f.File.ClientID = c.ClientId WHERE c.Name = "babylon5" AND n.Name = "gcc" ORDER BY c.Name, j.Job, p.Path; +---------------------------------------+------+ | Path | Name | +---------------------------------------+------+ | /usr/bin/ | gcc | | /usr/i686-pc-linux-gnu/gcc-bin/4.3.4/ | gcc | | /usr/lib/distcc/bin/ | gcc | | /usr/share/bash-completion/ | gcc | | /usr/lib/ccache/bin/ | gcc | | /usr/bin/ | gcc | | /usr/i686-pc-linux-gnu/gcc-bin/4.3.4/ | gcc | | /usr/lib/ccache/bin/ | gcc | | /usr/lib/distcc/bin/ | gcc | | /usr/share/bash-completion/ | gcc | | /usr/bin/ | gcc | | /usr/i686-pc-linux-gnu/gcc-bin/4.3.4/ | gcc | | /usr/lib/ccache/bin/ | gcc | | /usr/lib/distcc/bin/ | gcc | | /usr/share/bash-completion/ | gcc | +---------------------------------------+------+ 15 rows in set (4 min 12.65 sec) I omitted job information from the output in this example because the output would have been too wide and hard to read.
