Hello I'm new to this forum and I really need some help with bacula.
I have a home server (gentoo linux) with all of baculas components installed
on, backup is done on "/boot" and "/" partitions on the server and stored as a
file on another HD. There is only 1 backup-file which contains only the latest
full backup. I use mysql as database!
I really don't know much about bacula, I followed a howto to get it setup over
a year ago and once it was running I kind of forgot all about baculas config
and such.
Now I have managed to remove a whole bunch of files from the server and it's no
longer possible to boot into linux :(
I have booted a LiveCD and managed to copy the backup-file to my desktop
computer, and also what I think is the bootstrap-file?? a file located in
/var/lib/bacula/t1000.bsr (the server name is t1000).
Now basically what I want to do is: from my desktop computer extract ALL files
from the backup-file to a temporary location /tmp/t1000
The backup-file "t1000Vol0001" is modified "May 31 2010"
and the ?bootstrap-file? "t1000.bsr" is modified "Jul 7 2009"
My question now is if this is correct? Is the bootstrap-file created once then
left alone or should it change with every backup?
I should say at this point that all config files for bacula was removed by my
mistake so I can't see how things were setup. The config files, of course, is
included in the backup-file though!
Now to the possibility to extract files, can this be done from my situation?
On my desktop computer in /tmp I have placed both "t1000Vol0001" and
"t1000.bsr" and created a folder /tmp/t1000 to were I'd like to place the
extracted files. I have installed bacula (not changing any setup),
and tried to extract files with "bextract" first like this:
bextract -v -b t1000.bsr FileStorage /tmp/t1000
bextract: butil.c:281 Using device: "FileStorage" for reading.
30-jun 14:30 bextract JobId 0: Ready to read from volume "t1000Vol0001"
on device "FileStorage" (/tmp).
30-jun 14:30 bextract JobId 0: Forward spacing Volume "t1000Vol0001" to
file:block 0:195.
0 files restored.
No files were restored! Then I tried without the bootstrap:
bextract -v -V t1000Vol0001 FileStorage /tmp/t1000
bextract: butil.c:281 Using device: "FileStorage" for reading.
30-jun 14:38 bextract JobId 0: Ready to read from volume "t1000Vol0001"
on device "FileStorage" (/tmp).
bextract JobId 0: -rw-r--r-- 1 root
root 77 2009-03-04
18:48:21 /tmp/t1000/root/crons.cron
And this never seem to stop, bextract is using the CPU at 100% but the only
thing showing up in /tmp/t1000 is root/crons.cron and the file is empty! It has
been working like this for a couple of hours now.
"t1000.bsr" looks like this:
# 07-jul-2009 23:21:35 - t1000Job.2009-07-07_23.02.10 - Full

Please help my guys! And remember that I don't know much about bacula when
explaining.
