Re: [Bacula-users] Bacula Restore restoring folders but not files

Hello,

2015-01-20 14:05 GMT+01:00 RichardDurivage <bacula-forum AT backupcentral DOT com>:

Hello everyone, I am new to the world of Bacula and I have succeeded in setting up my server and some agents on some local windows machines to play around with it. Now I got it to the point where it is successfully completing backups and saving them to the Bacula server. I can view all the files that have been backed up on the server.

Now the issue I am having is when I try to do a restore it says that it has succeeded as per the text output here from the Bacula server -- but it restores Folders only and not the files selected. Any help in tracking down what I have misconfigured would be greatly appreciated!

Peace a cake! :)

cwd is: /
$ cd "C:/Shared"
cwd is: C:/Shared/
$ mark "Win8StartButtonSetup.exe"
1 file marked.
$ done

Great you marked C:/Shared/Win8StartButtonSetup.exe to restore. Please remember the whole filename (with drive and folder name).

Where: c:/Shared

Then you asked Bacula to relocate the file to the c:/Shared drive and folder. As Bacula always restore a file with full filename (remember a drive+folder and filename above?), so a restored full filename will be in your case:

C:/Shared/C:/Shared/Win8StartButtonSetup.exe

So Windows do not allow a colon in the folder or file name, so you are unlucky to get required file restore.

You should use a file relocation feature:

OK to run? (yes/mod/no): mod

Parameters to modify:

1: Level

2: Storage

3: Job

4: FileSet

5: Restore Client

6: When

7: Priority

8: Bootstrap

9: Where

10: File Relocation

11: Replace

12: JobId

13: Plugin Options

Select parameter to modify (1-13): 10

strip_prefix=*None* add_prefix=*None* add_suffix=*None*

This will replace your current Where value

1: Strip prefix

2: Add prefix

3: Add file suffix

4: Enter a regexp

5: Test filename manipulation

6: Use this ?

Select parameter to modify (1-6): 1

Please enter the path prefix to strip: C:

strip_prefix=C: add_prefix=*None* add_suffix=*None*

This will replace your current Where value

1: Strip prefix

2: Add prefix

3: Add file suffix

4: Enter a regexp

5: Test filename manipulation

6: Use this ?

Select parameter to modify (1-6): 2

Please enter the path prefix to add (/ for none): c:/Shared

strip_prefix=C: add_prefix=c:/Shared add_suffix=*None*

This will replace your current Where value

1: Strip prefix

2: Add prefix

3: Add file suffix

4: Enter a regexp

5: Test filename manipulation

6: Use this ?

Select parameter to modify (1-6): 5

strip_prefix=C: add_prefix=c:/Shared add_suffix=*None* result=!C:!!i,!^!c:/Shared!

Enter a period (.) to stop this test

Please enter filename to test: C:/Shared/Win8StartButtonSetup.exe

C:/Shared/Win8StartButtonSetup.exe -> c:/Shared/Shared/Win8StartButtonSetup.exe

I hope it helps.

Best regards

P.S. I was facing this feature in Bacula Enterprise and it was fixed in these release.
