I just did a couple test restores (one Linux server and one Windows 2003 server, just a few files on each), and naturally bacula did it perfectly. I had tested restores right after set up and installation, but that was about a year ago, and since then I have not tested very often, nor have I had occasion do do a REAL restore (knock on my wooden head), so I had become complacent. I feel good seeing that the restore system does still actually restore. ;-) Michael -- The music business is a cruel and shallow money trench, a long plastic hallway where thieves and pimps run free, and good men die like dogs.

Probably also a good time to exclaim, 5 years of backups and you're just now familiarizing yourself with restore?! Well, I've restored a few individual files now and then and also did a few test restores as suggested in the user guide so I am quite familiar with the routine and it always worked just fine for me. But restoring 50 something thousand files is definitely something different. I also never tried to emulate a real world file usage with my test backups/restores, hence my question. You are right of course, this should have been done long ago. It cannot be said enough times, you don't have a backup system until you have restored data from it. Becoming familiar with restore and doing some trial restores should be part of getting any backup system set up. It should also be a periodic routine to check your backup system and confirm that you can still restore. You want to confirm that your system works, but you also want the first hand personal experience so that you are comfortable and confident when the time comes that you really need to do it. Not to be hard on anyone individually -- just tossing this out for anyone and everyone to emphasize the importance of it. So, anyone out there who is doing regular backups and hasn't done a restore, set aside some time and do a test restore. Not to undermine your perfectly valid advice but let me note that we are living in a non perfect world, so even if you invest tremendous amounts of time and effort into testing your setup, you could never be sure you've tested all factors that may affect it in every possible real life situation. So even if all of your test restores work seamlessly this does not 100% mean your really critical one will. As usual, this is a question of reasonable compromise...

Also , I installed from a binary , can I just run the updated binary (making sure I backed up my bacula dir of cource :) ) Thanks in advance! Well, if I understand what you are doing, you are using the restore command, but at the last minute you set the Bootstrap file to none. If that is the case, I am surprised that it works at all, and if it does work, surely it is going to restore everything. In effect, you shot yourself in the foot. Without a bootstrap file you cannot restore only a portion of the files. -- Best regards, Kern ( /\ V_V --- This SF.Net email is sponsored by Oracle Space Sweepstakes Want to be the first software developer in space?
