Hi,

I had to move my bacula backup server from one server to another because of
hardware
failure. I am using mysql server as my catalog backend. Before installing
the new server
I did a mysql dump on the old and then I did a mysql restore on the new.
Seemed everything was fine. Then recently I had to restore from Archive.

I have archive jobs which are copy jobs.
I do weekly full backup to a file storage. Then these copy jobs move the
last full backup from
file storage to tape (worm) storage.

The retention period of the volume of archive is 100 years. This retention
time is inherited by the jobs. The file retention time of these jobs is 2
months. So in theory,
when I have to restore something from archive what is 2 years old I would
be able to do
a full job restore... of that full backup which would be perfectly fine for
me.... but the problem:

It seemed that after the move of the backup server I lost my archive job
records from the catalog.
bacula did not find the archive jobs of the client in the catalog. I had to
use bscan on the tape
volume, so I was able to restore.

Fortunately, I did not wipe the old system so I was able to run bconsole
and I checked
that the archive records are present... in the old database....

Can anybody advise what to check in this case? What did I wrong?

Bacula version: 7.0.5+dfsg-4ubuntu0.1
Ubuntu version:

Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description:    Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS
Release:        16.04
Codename:       xenial


Thanks,

Andras
