Re: [Bacula-users] Configuring Director & Storage on different nodes

Also, is it possible to retrieve the data from Bacula volumes, without using Bacula? I mean, for eg., if my Bacula system goes down & all I have been left out is just Volumes where backup was done. Can I restore the data to a new machine without re-installing Bacula.

'bextract' is not installed until and unless we install Bacula server. Or at least I could not figure out any way to install just bextract to retrieve the data from the volumes. Is there any rpm present which will just install the Bacula tools ( selective tools) without installing the Server part.

Thanks,
Amit
