It's attempting to restore directly from a single FULL backup job. I know that once it finishes generating the directory listing that I can mark the directory I want and then it will go ahead and restore everything in it including subfolders. However, option 11, from the online manual says "Item 11 allows you to enter a list of JobIds from which you can select directories to be restored..... You may then enter a full path to a directory name...... All files in those directories will be restored, but if the directory contains subdirectories, nothing will be restored in the subdirectory unless you explicitly enter its name."
Either way, this is fine, I just really need to know if using option 11 has it generating a directory listing the same as the option 3 that I am using, because this is the part that it's taking forever on, and I'm really just looking for a way to get this directory restored as quickly as possible. Once I've gotten the directory restored, I'm going to look into improving restore times. (This is a Bacula system that I inherited from a previous sysadmin) The server that Bacula is running on has 12 cores and 16GB of RAM. This directory listing generation has so far been running for 28 hours. Is there any hope of this finishing or are there any suggestions?

If you tell it to restore a directory, everything under that directory will automatically be included. > Here's the details on that particular Job: > > JobFiles: 2,927,789 > > JobBytes: 54,769,194,913 (54 GB) How many incrementals/differentials since your last FULL? That's almost three million files in that Job. If it's got to scan a large number of jobs ... yeah, that could take a while. -- Phil Stracchino Babylon Communications ph...@caerllewys.net p...@co.ordinate.org Landline: +1.603.293.8485 Mobile: +1.603.998.6958 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users
