Re: [Bacula-users] Pulling to disk backups back into bacula

Hello,

2017-01-25 23:12 GMT+01:00 Thing <thing.thing AT gmail DOT com>:

Hi,

So I am backing up to volumes on a separate disk drive for my email server. I thought I'd lost my original 500gb drive but this turned out to be the sata controller instead. In the meantime I had attached a 2TB disk and I have been backing up to this.

My wish if possible since I have recovered these backup files off the 500gb drive is to pull their contents back into bacula so I can restore an old file if need be but not stuff up Local-0028 nor Local-0034 which seem to be valid. If I cannot do that I will live with the loss but I'd like to recover an early "tape" if I can.

If you did not deleted your "lost" volumes from catalog then you can simple transfer them to the correct location and use it as usual. I see that same of your volumes has a status of Error, so it is possible (but not guaranteed) to change this status from Error to i.e. Full and use as usual.

So my disk structure looks like this,

Only volume Local-0028 and 34 are I think valid? possibly Local-0001? in the web ui (and below) the rest that are even seen have "error"

I do not understand your structure. Which are your "lost" volumes and which are your current and new (on 2TB new drive)?

I would like to recover at least one early volume if I can.

This list does not correspond to the "disk structure" shown above. Which volumes are your "lost" volumes and which are your new?
