You could write a script to touch all those files and put them into /usr/local/sbin . Something like this:
#!/bin/bash touch /var/log/messages touch .... You may also want to have the same script recreate some other important files. Make sure this script gets backed up. Then all you have to do is remember to run it after a full restore. You could even try to put it into a Client Run After script but I foresee a few problems with that. Also, remember that a full restore requires a bit of manual work anyway. Simply restoring all the files is likely not going to be enough. There is a chapter on disaster recovery in the bacula documentation. RYAN vAN GINNEKEN wrote: > Hello does anyone know if bacula can add blank files example > /var/log/messages.
