Hi folks, I've tried a bscan of the volume in question (without db modifications as outlined in the fine manual), but during the scan bacula comes up with tons of "unknown client" errors which are probably due to the fact that the bacula instance I'd like to use to restore the data doesn't know about the other instance's clients. would it be sufficient to re-create the one client that I'm after in the bacula instance that I use to bscan the tape? Is it somehow possible to tell bscan or some other bacula utility to simply grab all the files associated with a job, jobid or client off a tape and dump it somewhere in the filesystem?
