Hello,

Few days before I had a bad behaviour from bacula. It pruned lots of
backups from my archives ONLY for one client in one pool before a
specified date!.

I couldn't reread tapes because there was a lot of tapes.
I couldn't restore the full catalog dump because lots of jobs had run
since this unexpected behaviour and so if I did it I would loose
theses jobs.

My postgresql Select was on job and jobfiles for a pool and for a
specific client

Can you confirm that I did right to reimport theses jobs and files :

- The tables that I restored were : job, log, file, jobmedia

- The tables filename and path seems to be ok  ? Is this a normal
behaviour that filenames and path were not pruned like the files ?

- Is there a possibility that this catalog import was wrong ? If yes
which points should I check ?


Also what can be the origin of the unexpected behaviour ? It happened
on a restore job on the client that was pruned.

Have you got an idea ?

Thank you
