Presumably you've been running a catalog backup every so often and can use a
bootstrap or bscan to restore that backup. If so, you will have an easier time
restoring whatever else. If not, I guess a still not horrible case is
recreating the catalog and bscanning volumes into it. I'd probably look into my
utilities for the database I'm using and scan for corruption or something like
that. See the docs for your database for how to check tables.

Subject: [Bacula-users] FATAL: database "bacula" does not exist
Hi, I’ve been up half the night dealing with an almost ‘dead’ Storage Array.
This morning we found that we needed to manually restart the Bacula Server as
it hung trying to shutdown a non existant mounted partition.
So the Server came back up, but every time I tried to start Bconsole it would
shutdown the bacular-dir. The cause being, as the subject says, bacula db does
not exist.
This is not a new install. The ‘catalog’ has been running for 5 years now.
Where did the db go?
How can I retrieve it?
I’ve got several servers to restore, but without the catalog I’m lost. (Maybe
my job will be too).
Bacula - 3.0.2 (18Jul09) x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu,redhat
Postgres – 8.1
Any help appreciated.
Ken
