Hi Arno,
At the end we found an easy solution to restore all Full backups from one
machine(client) from 2022 till today. We have to repeat this task with every
machine(client).
with a SQL select we get the full backups jobs ids:
select JobId from Job where JobStatus='T' and Type='B' and Level='F' and
Name='XXXX';
Then format the column results to commas
Then restore using this option:
3: Enter list of comma separated JobIds to select
If anyone knows a better option to do this task please let us know, thanks!
Regards,
Guille

Hi Arno,
Thanks for your answer.
I think bextract doesn't look an option for us as our client (bank) needs to
search by linux client and date to restore. Correct me if I am wrong 😉
Sorry for my bad explanation 🙂. This is our scenario:
We have like 30 linux clients in bacula for our client (bank) where we backup
just the access and error logs (php, nginx, etc saved in tar.gz format with
date) around from the 2022 year till today. The client is asking us about all
this amount of data as it's not going to be anymore our client. We tell them
that they need to install in their platform our bacula (ansible playbook) with
a dump database and with our bacula volumes(8TB, using rsync) so they can
restore by client and date but it's not an option for them as they are not
allow to install bacula and download packages, etc.. (bank restriction). The
easy way to restore by client and date is using bacula restore as we do but
this is not an option for them.
They want all data sorted by linux client with all logs from 2022 till today.
We've tried with one client using restore command but it has too many full,
differential and incremental backups, and huge data (stored volumes in aws s3).
Looks impossible or we don't know how to do it in an easy way restoring by
linux client all data.
Thanks a lot!
Guille

I'm not sure I really understand what you aim to do... above, you ask
how to restore without Bacula. Which is not possible, as the backups are
stored in Bacula proprietary (though open) volume format. However,
stand-alone tolls that can help you working without Director and Catalog
do exist -- bextract, and possibly bls to help preparing.

And here it's about the catalog. Does your customer tneed a list of
backups (and possibly their job reports) of their backups?

Here it's about the data again... well, in general Bacula can restore
every byte it has stored in Volumes.

You'll have to ask the other backup solution experts for that, but I'm
pretty sure you can't do that easily.
The usual approach is, iteratively, restore one Job, back it up with
another solution, massage the new catalog data so it represents the
original state. We know how to do the latter with Bacula, not the other
way around.
Perhaps we'd be able to help if you describe what you need in a simpler
manner -- might be a language thing, too :-)
Cheers,
Arno
