this is extremely frustrating! :(
im reading the section about bscan[1], which is what i need to use
right?  i dont understand how this all works and its stressing me out.
apparently i need to re-define my clients in the bacula-dir.conf?  what
does that consist of?  there is already one Client defined by default,
with a Name of <system name>-fd which is the Client that i want to
restore from... am i supposed to re-define all of my clients? (i think i
had 7)

i found that the most recent volume written is Vol0038 so i tried
running this command:
bscan -c bacula-sd.conf -v -V Vol0038 /media/external/bacula

but i am getting errors about "Could not get Client record. ERR=Client
record not found in Catalog" so is it not defined correctly in
bacula-dir.conf?

so i'm just obviously lost and really need help to get back into my
backups, then i need to know what to do to prevent this from happening
again.  it seems like i need to use another backup program to backup
/etc/bacula and the database separately....
