Re: [Bacula-users] Restore Script

Hello,

Hello all,

I’m new to bacula Version: 5.2.13 and we are running and I’m trying to make an automatic restore script to test the backup.

But I have a problems how to pass the directory to the bacula “restore” command.

What directory you need to put to restore command?

I also had problem with markdir – which marked directory and restored the empty directory without files.

And it is expected behavior, see manual:

markdir    mark directory name to be restored (no files)

If you want files just use a simple mark command:

mark       mark dir/file to be restored recursively in dirs

So for my script I have made workaround

Where I do

----restorescript—

bconsole << END_OF_DATA

cd /directory/to/be/restored

Before cd above it should be an invocation of the restore command wirh all required parameters. It could be a reason why this script is not working.

mark *

done

yes

wait

messages

END_OF_DATA

-----

Is there any better way how to pass the directory to the restore command? I only know that it can load the file list from text file.

I think you should just read the manual about restore command.

best regards

Radek
