Re: [Bacula-users] Loading file listings from old tapes

I have changed the retention periods to 12 months, and I have done some bscan's of some old tapes. I thought that would repopulate my database with the file names, but it has not. echo "list jobs jobid=190" | bconsole returns "No results to list." on a backup with 49,731 JobFiles.

Any suggestions about how to perform this would be appreciated. Thanks.
Hello Michael: bscan when restoring jobs perform that to another different and new JobID. Please check the logs.

I have checked the logs and don't see anything new. This is what I see when I list jobs in bconsole. These are my backups from this morning:

| 943 | BackupFScluster | 2015-06-23 06:05:02 | B | I | 958 | 114,308,858,302 | T |
| 944 | BackupCatalog | 2015-06-23 07:03:40 | B | F | 1 | 973,597,054 | T |

We are backing up a number of critical log files that are necessary to recover quickly, accurately, and easily. I was tasked with making restores so easy "even a monkey can do it". So I'm trying to create a document for my coworkers: "The Chimp's Guide to Restores".
bscan and bextract are disaster recovery tools. I would not use them as regular restore procedures.

I agree. I am trying to recreate my database, not use bscan or bextract. If there is another way to recreate my database, could you let me know what that is? Thanks.
