Re: [Bacula-users] Automation restore backup job
Bill, I’m glad to hear that you arrived well. Thank you very much for this script. I checked this script and if I understand well this code, here we need to know JobID when we want to start auto restore, which we need to put in command line parameters ?

Hello Petar, Well, safely back home in the US, recovering from a very busy week and long travel day back. :) OK, for now, I have attached my AutoRestoreAndVeryfy.sh script. It may be run from a RunScript in a Backup job or an Admin job, from cron, or even manually. You just need to make sure the correct command line parameters are supplied. I think it is pretty well documented in comments near the top. Please take a look there to understand some of the details and limitations. Currently it will restore the entire backup job, then run each type of verify job against the backup job. It will "wait" for each job to finish before initiating the next. If you do not want any of the verify jobs and only want the restore job, it is just a matter of removing or commenting all of those steps. At some point, perhaps after some feedback and additional modifications I will post it to my website, but for now, I just wanted to get this out there to you. For example, I am thinking that I might want to add the ability to specify the types of jobs to run on the command line, a different client to restore to, etc. I have been running a version of this for a couple years now, and have just made a couple minor modifications today, so I think it is pretty stable.

Hi folks, I try to find some solution on the internet but I found only parcial solution. I want to hear from you what you think about automation restore backup for test purpose. Indeed, I have about 25 linux instance which I backuping on my bacula server. My configuration files was splitted for every client in particular. By, default every backup job for client have also defined restore job on same client. I want to create one test linux instance where I can randomly to start some restore from bacula to test instance to check does backup is ok.
