You are not supposed to use bscan often, since your file, job and volume
retention should be enough to allow you to restore any file through bscan / gui
+ Bacula Catalog. It's a disaster recovery tool.
Other ways to restore Bacula Catalog information are:
1. DB dump import, mainly if you loose all your Bacula database.
2. bls + bextract, that can be very usefull to restore a few files from a
volume, without the need of recreating all backup indexes with bscan.
