Hi everyone, So I've finally got my bscan running after your help in previous posts - thanks. But am worried that it's on track to take 34 years to complete!!
I'm recreating a database from tapes after a hard-drive corruption. I'm using bacula 3.0.1 (I'll be upgrading in ~3 months, but first need to restore everything with this system). Here's my command: ./bscan -b /bacula/bscanVolsBootstrap.bsr -c /etc/bacula/bacula-sd.conf -v -s -m /dev/st0 Questions: 1) I got the volume names for the bsr file from running 'mtx status' on the changer. Are these necessarily the same volume names used by bacula? They look familiar from what I saw in bacula before the catalog died. 2) About how long could the bscan take? I'm getting regular status updates like: 21-Feb 17:04 bscan JobId 0: End of file 1070 on device "LTO5-0" (/dev/st0), Volume "L50001" After two hours, it's up to file 1070. Does 'file' mean actual individual files in the archive? Or something else? If it means individual files then I've calculated the bscan of all 35 tapes will take about 34 years! At maximum theoretical tape speed for LTO-5 compressed data, it would be 5 hours/tape, and not 340 days. So I'm assuming 'file' means something else, but what?
