It restores everything from though the latest backup with out me telling it what to do. Fair warning. Running several of these at a time in parallel has caused my DIR to lockup several times with not warning. -- Craig Van Tassle HUBzero.org System Administrator YONG 1006 Desk Phone : (765)496-6413 -- Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.

You should be able to remove the "ghost fileset" using mysql and deleting the appropriate table row in your bacula db.

[Bacula-users] Non-interactive restore
Hi folks. Google has burried me once again as this seems to be a recurring question. What is the best method of starting a restore without an interactive interface. Basically, I want to be able to start a restore of the last backup state (option 5) for a client, specifying a difference restoreclient. In an idea world I'd like to run a script after a successful completion. I've tried: restore all client=gary-fd restoreclient=eddie-fd but it still asks for a resture type which I want to default to 5 and then asks me for a FileSet resource. I now only have one fileset resource for Linux but it still insists on giving me two choices including one I no long have in the config files. Gary -- Gary Stainburn Group I.T.
