Hi folks,
I need to restore files from 4+ yrs back. I know the volume(s) where
the files are backed up but the backup records have been pruned. Since
I do have the db catalog backed up on a daily basis following is what
I am planning to do.
1. /etc/bacula/bin/bls -j -V <volume_name> <devicename>
2. /etc/bacula/bin/bextract
My question is, what parameters do I give to extract the db catalog
file? The Bacula utility document has examples for restoring files but
as far as I am aware of, not for extracting the db catalog back to a
directory you specify on the server.
Following is an example of my catalog backup report:
