I would also like to know the answer to this question. Sometimes I need to restore a file and I know part of file name. I don't know which letters are upper case. If I know which job to use then I use "restore" command in bconsole. I select the option "Enter list of comma separated JobIds to select" or "Select the most recent backup for a client". Then I use "find" command. But I cannot find any help for "find" command (unless the string saying that I can use wildcards). And it is case sensitive. It would be great if the command would support regular expressions. Sometimes I need to list many folders to find the file.
If I don't know when the file has been backed up then this task can be really tedious. I have to search in many jobs. There is an option in restore that says "List Jobs where a given File is saved". But in this case you have to know the exact filename. And even with this I cannot see this command working. Maybe anyone knows how to query the bacula database directly to get search result for a file. Luiz: I don't believe it is possible to search for texts inside files. I don't believe that bacula is storing this information into catalog. Catalog would become enormous in this case. Probably you have to make full restore to some other place and then use filesystem tools to find it (like grep in linux). +---------------------------------------------------------------------- |This was sent by lado.lan...@gmail.com via Backup Central. |Forward SPAM to ab...@backupcentral.com. +---------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Nokia and AT&T present the 2010 Calling All Innovators-North America contest Create new apps & games for the Nokia N8 for consumers in U.S. and Canada $10 million total in prizes - $4M cash, 500 devices, nearly $6M in marketing Develop with Nokia Qt SDK, Web Runtime, or Java and Publish to Ovi Store http://p.sf.net/sfu/nokia-dev2dev _______________________________________________ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users
