[Bacula-users] Automatic restores BACULA
Is there a way to automate restores in bacula by schedules?The jobs doesn't
show up in the scheduled tasks.But i am able to run the job manually.
What to specify on the client directive here,the restore location or the name
of the client for which files has to be restored?
Config :
Job {
Name = fileserver
Type = Restore
Client=name of the machine where restore has to be done
FileSet=fileserver
Storage = SAN
Pool = fileserver
Bootstrap = /var/bacula/working/fileserver.bsr
Messages = Standard
Where = /dump
}
Schedule {
Name = fileserver-restore
Run = Apr 3rd wed at 15:00 pm
}

Got that working,forgot the schedule directive in Job section.
One thing i notice here is it only restores the last full backup,is there a way
to restore the latest with the full along with the incremental after a full
backupt?
Also if i want to do a quarterly restore like every third month 2nd Sunday,how
is it possible in a single line?
Should i use multiple lines only here(it works with multiple lines)?
