Greetings Baculans,
We are running Bacula on Centos 6.5, which means Bacula 5.0.0. Over the
past 9 months I had been backing up files with File and Job Retention
periods in the Client resource of bacula-dir.conf of 60 days. So our old
file listings have been pruned, but I need them back. How do I do it?
I have changed the retention periods to 12 months, and I have done some
bscan's of some old tapes. I thought that would repopulate my database with
the file names, but it has not. echo "list jobs jobid=190" | bconsole
returns "No results to list." on a backup with 49,731 JobFiles.
Any suggestions about how to perform this would be appreciated. Thanks.
We are backing up a number of critical log files that are necessary to
recover quickly, accurately, and easily. I was tasked with making restores
so easy "even a monkey can do it". So I'm trying to create a document for
my coworkers: "The Chimp's Guide to Restores".
My thinking is to create a process so that a user could
- Give a file's basename, or substring that is part of a pathname, or a
regular expression that matches a file's pathname string.
- Give a date range from within which we want to restore the file.
- Give where to put the file.
and then they would be presented with a tape to load for the restore, and-
voila'! File restored. My idea is to save all job file listings into files
by job id, then I can use UNIX tools to scour them as required.
