Thanx but the bextract command halts ,

host:/opt/bacula/etc # bextract -V AAD371L3 /dev/nst0 /tmp/restore_bacula/
bextract: butil.c:287 Using device: "/dev/nst0" for reading.
28-Jun 15:40 bextract JobId 0: No slot defined in catalog (slot=0) for Volume 
"AAD371L3" on "Drive-1" (/dev/nst0).
28-Jun 15:40 bextract JobId 0: Cartridge change or "update slots" may be 
required.
28-Jun 15:40 bextract JobId 0: 3301 Issuing autochanger "loaded? drive 0" 
command.
28-Jun 15:40 bextract JobId 0: 3302 Autochanger "loaded? drive 0", result is 
Slot 5. 

Any idea?

Thanx,
Admin

For you to be able to use the volumes in bacula you need to either use
bextract to directly extract individual files or bscan to import each
volume to the second independent database. With the volume imported
you can use it the same way you use any other volume.
