Re: [Bacula-users] restoring directly from archived files

Bluch.  Let me clarify and then add some updates:

One of the on-disk volumes is "Catalog2009-12-01_2650".  The same file
is on disk, but it's been modified more recently.  What happens if I
attempt to restore from this volume?


I've made some further changes.

I got an error from bacula-sd:
Restarting Bacula Storage daemon: 16-Jan 15:42 bacula-sd: ERROR TERMINATION at 
stored_conf.c:667
Attempt to define second "device" resource named "File2Storage" is not 
permitted.

So I renamed the storage to DVD2Storage (even though I thought I read it
had to be the same name for the restore to work).  I also added this to
the director config:
<quote>
# Definition of file storage device
Storage {
  Name = DVD2Storage
  Address = corn.betterworld.us
  SDPort = 9103
  Password = "abc"
  Device = DVD2Storage
  Media Type = File2
}
</quote>


My bconsole session went like this:
<quote>
*restore jobid=4230 storage=DVD2Storage
You have selected the following JobId: 4230

Building directory tree for JobId 4230 ...
There were no files inserted into the tree, so file selection
is not possible.Most likely your retention policy pruned the files

Do you want to restore all the files? (yes|no): no

Note that I've now copied all the named volumes to their original
location.  I'm not sure if "The job will require the following..."
indicates some kind of error, such as being unable to find the volumes,
or not.

Thanks, John and Dan, for your help.
