Hallo,
     I've got a (hopefully not so) unusual problem.
I need look for a text string inside some text files that I've backed up 
with bacula.
The first, naive solution that comes to mind is of course to extract 
portion of the backup archive (e.g. going back in time), one fd-client 
at-a-time, do the search and then delete the "restored" files if the 
string is not found.
But this process would be highly time-consuming and inefficient FWIKT.

Searching around the 'net I found a potentially very useful object, 
named BaculaFS. Unfortunately it's requirements include pretty recent 
versions of postgresql (the db I currently use) and other libraries. 
Because of this I haven't been able to install it on my director host. 
If possible, I'd like to avoid upgrading this host just for the sake of 
installing baculafs...

Does anybody have a hint about how to solve this ?

Thank you in advance to anyone who'll answer.
