[Bacula-users] Re - Restore failed - bacula-fd doesn't follow symbolic l

Hello,

this sounds good for me. It's exactly what I did to recover my data.
I just had to figure out where my data were located and it worked fine.

The issue I had was not due 'cause the file daemon doesn't follow symlinks indeed.

Thanks for your feedback

Regards

Davide

Anyway, I'm still trying to figure out how can I enforce the file
daemon to follow symlinks on Linux filesystem.

Bacula does not follow any symbolic links. It just backups a symbolic link as a symbolic link no matter if it points to the file or directory. Automatically follow symbolic links threatens to uncontrolled looping. For example when someone (user) will make a simple command: $ ln -s . a

If you want to backup a resources which was followed by symbolic link you have to add this resources to the FileSet definition.

best regards
