So i tried this using the linked guide on my setup which has the director and the storage daemon on different machines, but got stuck at the bextract step, with bextract not finding the given device:
director-server:~# bextract -b /tmp/bs01-bootstrap BD01-BackupDisk /tmp/back bextract: stored/butil.cc:299-0 Could not find device "BD01-BackupDisk" in config file <NULL>. 04-Mar 15:18 bextract JobId 0: Fatal error: stored/butil.cc:173 Cannot find device "BD01-BackupDisk" in config file <NULL>. Specifying any configuration file form the director (bareos-dir.conf or stroage.conf where the storage is defined) complains about an incompatible configuration file. Do i understand it correctly that bextract can only work on the storage daemon server and not on the director server if these are different machines? The link implies that it would work on the director server to, but maybe i understood it wrong. So my question is can bextract be used from a director with the storage daemon on another machine? And if so, how would i do this?
