Hi all,
I need to recover some files from a tape but, after loading, bacula
cannot mount it.
Opening the device with hexer I find the tape starting with a
session/job header instead a volume header. So, the volume header is
missing and bacula can't recognize the tape.
here the beginning of strings' output command on device in position 0:
> BB02
> 4Bacula 1.0 immortal
> w2k3-ap-nas1.porto.laspezia.it-data-pool
> Backup
> BACKUP w2k3-ap-nas1.porto.laspezia.it-data

> w2k3-ap-nas1.porto.laspezia.it-data-fileset
Then, looking in old email logs, I've notice that
w2k3-ap-nas1.porto.laspezia.it-data.2008-05-23_23.05.15 is not the 1st
backup on the volume... It is the 9th!

The tape library is "HP Ultrium-3 400/800".
Really no idea how I reach this point.... But it was my 1st windows
backup with bacula, so [my] human errror is the really probable!!
My objective is recover a file from Job 14 [It should be in this volume]
but from bconsole, with bls or bextract I can't get anythings good,
because they looking for a valid volume header... and I miss it.
Is there any tool to low-level recover files from a tape regardless
volume or jobs?
I would try to label the tape again with the name written in logs:
w2k3-ap-nas1.porto.laspezia.it-data-0001. Do you think it could work?
Remember that my important job is not in the beginning of the tape so
lost data in the begin is not a problem.
Tnz 4 bacula.
Regards
Marco
