Hi all,

I'm running a very old Bacula 5.2.6 writing to equally old LTO-4 tapes (pre-LTFS). Data is unencrypted.

In the past I've successfully tested restoring outside "bconsole" with "bextract" (.bsr files available) or "bls" followed by "bextract" (.bsr files missing).

This was all done on the box where Bacula runs from so it's not clear to me whether "bextract" and "bls" consulted local Bacula database (MySQL) or any customised local configuration files. My guess is they didn't.

So - if the Bacula box dies but I have the drive and tapes - will I be able to access all data on tapes by connecting the drive to a new box followed by "bextract" and "bls" commands alone?

Regards,
Adam
