Hello,
I've got two freebsd boxes, one the backup server has the files on another hard disk on it. The other the client i want to restore some files that were not previously backed up on it. The files came from and are backed up on the server. Now i'd like to get them with a client that didn't have them originally and restore them. My problem is complicated by the fact that i believe the mysql database that originally handled these files is gone. My question is can i restore these files?

Most probably, yes.
It's a two-step process at this stage:

First, you need the files in the catalog, otherwise you can't select them for restore.

Verify the files are in the catalog or not by using the supplied queries. If they are not in the catalog, you can use bls to search through your available volumes, and bscan to load the metadata from a volume into the catalog.

Second, the restore process itself.

That's rather simple: Start a restore process using the command line. Select jobs the usual way, select the files to restore, and after you've done that, in the following menu, you can choose the client. This might seem identical to the client selection at the beginning of the resore process, but this time, you select the client where the data shall be restored to - just what you need, I think.

Hope this helps,

Arno

Thanks.
Dave.
