Hello.
I've been using bacula for a long time and I know that, in case of utter
disasters, I can quickly install the OS and bacula anew, run bextract on
the tape that contains the last catalog, reload the catalog into my
database and use bacula itself to restore everything.
Or I can even run bextract on all the tapes in the last backup and I'll
have all my data back.
(I know I could even create a bare-metal recovery CD...)
Now, I'm interested in tape encryption, but before I start, I'd like to
be sure of the consequences.
AFAIK bextract won't work on encrypted tapes, so it seems the only
options would be to:
_ quickly install the OS and bacula anew (like in the previous example);
_ retrieve the client (or master) keys/certificates;
_ run bscan (instead of bextract) on the volume with the last catalog;
_ then run bacula restore jobs to restore everything.
Is this correct?
Any other gotchas?
I also wonder if it is possible to run some jobs encrypting and without
encryption on the same client, obviously without modifying its
configuration every time. Is it?
bye & Thanks
av.
