Re: [Bacula-users] Restore from an incremental job: No Full backup befor

Hello,

2014-05-12 11:56 GMT+02:00 ML mail <mlnospam AT yahoo DOT com>:

Hello,

I am using the following schedule for my backups:

        Run = Full sun at 1:00
        Run = Incremental mon-sat at 1:00

with a file retention of 7 days, meaning that I have max 7 days old backups. The problem now is that I can't restore from an incremental backup which has been done before the full backup. For example I have the following volumes:

|     296 | my--server-0296 | Used      |       1 | 4,109,209,857 |        0 |      518,400 |       1 |    0 |         0 | my--server-fi | 2014-05-12 01:06:52 |
|     298 | my--server-0298 | Used      |       1 | 3,039,832,140 |        0 |      518,400 |       1 |    0 |         0 | my--server-fi | 2014-05-06 01:05:27 |
|     300 | my--server-0300 | Used      |       1 | 3,022,800,501 |        0 |      518,400 |       1 |    0 |         0 | my--server-fi | 2014-05-08 01:05:42 |
|     302 | my--server-0302 | Used      |       1 | 3,232,145,498 |        0 |      518,400 |       1 |    0 |         0 | my--server-fi | 2014-05-09 01:04:56 |
|     304 | my--server-0304 | Used      |       1 | 3,436,895,417 |        0 |      518,400 |       1 |    0 |         0 | my--server-fi | 2014-05-10 01:08:08 |
|     306 | my--server-0306 | Used      |       1 | 24,675,023,712 |        5 |      518,400 |       1 |    0 |         0 | my--server-fi | 2014-05-11 02:09:51 |
|     309 | my--server-0309 | Used      |       1 | 2,985,503,512 |        0 |      518,400 |       1 |    0 |         0 | my--server-fi | 2014-05-07 01:05:48 |

as you can see (from the size) my full backup was done on 2014-05-11 02:09:51

Are you absolutely sure that it is your full backup? I yes, what is your JobID of this particular backup?

and I would like to restore a file which has been modified on 2014-05-09 but unfortunately this is not possible as bacula's console gives me the following error message:

If you have a valid full backup on the volume then you are able to restore any file from that backup/volume. You can use full backup jobid directly as Kern advised.

As an alternate you can directly recover file from the this volume with brestore utility.

Remember, as long as you have a volume/volumes with a backup(s) you can recover data from.

best regards
