Re: [Bacula-users] 0 files restored from bacula backup

I manually repopulated the database using bscan (is there a better / less laborious way to do this?) and did the restore again, now my files came back as expected.

You are not supposed to use bscan often, since your file, job and volume retention should be enough to allow you to restore any file through bscan / gui + Bacula Catalog. It's a disaster recovery tool.

Other ways to restore Bacula Catalog information are:

1. DB dump import, mainly if you loose all your Bacula database.

2. bls + bextract, that can be very usefull to restore a few files from a volume, without the need of recreating all backup indexes with bscan.

In between I also had done a copy job to copy the relevant full backup from tape to disk, so I'm not sure which of these steps changed the outcome of my restore.

No, about 900 files were marked, as can be seen in the files expected line. I did this by marking a directory, which, as I understand it, recursively marks everything under that directory.

Did you forget to mark the files you want to restore?
