Hi folks, I am working on a restore of files from 2 years ago, and it's exposed some serious flaws in my understanding of Bacula.
A little about my setup: I have a File pool on an HDD partition where my online backups go. Then I have a manual procedure to migrate the volumes to BD-RE XL 100GB disc every few months. Version: 9.6.7 (10 December 2020) I have not been migrating the .bsr files along with the VolXXXX files, and that seems like a bad oversight on my part. Now I am reading in the docs about the need for .bsr when restoring. So I have symlinked to the relevant bootstrap files and integrated them into the migration process for the future. My 2019 backups are spread across 2 Blu-ray discs. I ran bscan with mostly success, but it coredumps at the very end of the first disc with this message: 04-May-2021 21:48:41 bscan: bscan.c:658-0 Could not update job record. ERR=bdb.h:140 Update failed: affected_rows=0 for UPDATE Job SET JobStatus='E',EndTime='2019-03-01 23:05:00',ClientId=1,JobBytes=354680832,ReadBytes=0,JobFiles=1,JobErrors=0,VolSessionId=7,VolSessionTime=1551383812,PoolId=1,FileSetId=0,JobTDate=1551506700,RealEndTime='2019-03-01 23:05:00',PriorJobId=0,HasBase=0,PurgedFiles=0 WHERE JobId=1920 So as a result, some jobs are restored to my catalog db, but the Full backup I'm targeting is in a failed state, or even flagged as still running, and zero-sized. When I explore it with Baculum's restore tool, I find /home is empty, and I would have noticed 48GB missing during the backup reports, or the migration. Plus, the incrementals indicate files from my home directory do exist in those backups with the same FileSets specified. So is there some corruption on disc? Have I tickled a bug in the bscan utility? Is there yet hope for restoring this backup? That's kind of the raison d'etre of running Bacula in the first place... Robert
