Hmmm... Is there a way to tell Bacula to simply restore using

/etc/passwd and group files are currently on the system?
I hope that is the default behaviour because we use a centralized
ldap-directory for authentication. Restoring with right permissions
and the numeric UID/GID is just fine.
Quite right...
Well, for whatever reason, in my first restore attempt (luckily it was just a
test, not real disaster recovery), Bacula failed to restore permissions on the
directories correctly. As I wrote, most of directories got 744, leaving me
with rather unusable system. If I were doing just partial restore (couple of
files/directories), I could have set permissions back manually. However,
manually resetting thousands of files/directories to their original
permissions
isn't really an option. I haven't done anything fancy. Full backup of the
system using generic configuration (from the docs), followed by full restore
(issued "restore all" command from console).
Searching the archives, I found some people had this kind of problem in the
past, but I wasn't able to find any definite answer...
One more question. After restore, Bacula sent out *very* lenghty
email listing
all files restored. Not the best idea on full restore of the
system (200,000+
files). It was one huuuuuge email. Is it possible to instruct it
to be a bit
less verbose (like giving just a short summary)?
Yes, you can exclude the restored files from the message. See the
manual, section Messages Resource, especially the message-type field
and negation.
Thanks. I'll try that.
