Last I had to use bscan it worked fine by the simple docs...takes a long time though. As for backing up your conf and database that is defined in the example configurations. You should never rely on a backup tool you have not tested the restore procedures with.

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....
