[Bacula-users] bscan will take...34 years!?!?

Hi everyone,

So I've finally got my bscan running after your help in previous posts
- thanks. But am worried that it's on track to take 34 years to
complete!!

I'm recreating a database from tapes after a hard-drive corruption.

I'm using bacula 3.0.1 (I'll be upgrading in ~3 months, but first need
to restore everything with this system).

Here's my command:

./bscan -b /bacula/bscanVolsBootstrap.bsr -c
/etc/bacula/bacula-sd.conf -v -s -m /dev/st0

Questions:

1) I got the volume names for the bsr file from running 'mtx status'
on the changer. Are these necessarily the same volume names used by
bacula? They look familiar from what I saw in bacula before the
catalog died.

2) About how long could the bscan take?
I'm getting regular status updates like:
  21-Feb 17:04 bscan JobId 0: End of file 1070 on device "LTO5-0"
  (/dev/st0), Volume "L50001"
After two hours, it's up to file 1070.
Does 'file' mean actual individual files in the archive? Or something
else? If it means individual files then I've calculated the bscan of
all 35 tapes will take about 34 years!

At maximum theoretical tape speed for LTO-5 compressed data, it would
be 5 hours/tape, and not 340 days. So I'm assuming 'file' means
something else, but what?

Thanks,
Michael
