It sounds like you are concerned that the backups are much older than the version of Bacula you have installed and are concerned that Bacula will not be able to read and restore from that backup. I know of nothing that will prevent Bacula from reading old backups. If you do wish to use command line tools, they are documented fully. You just use them... Ahh, click. Perhaps you are asking: it is possible to extract unencrypted data from an encrypted backup using command line tools? I think not. You need bacula-fd to do the unencryption. <== it would be good if someone else could confirm this theory. If my theory is correct, what is your concern? -- Dan Langille - http://www.langille.org/ BSDCan - The Technical BSD Conference: http://www.bsdcan.org/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.
