It is possible but without a bootstrap file you wouldn't be able to control what job or a number of jobs gets extracted. If you have multiple backup jobs from multiple systems contained inside the same backup volume (which is common scenario) the restore without a bsr file would make a mess in the specified output directory. I might be wrong because I didn't try it but it seems to me that this is exactly what would happen (unless you are using one job per volume which is possible but rare practice). -- Josip Deanovic ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users
