Dear Chris,
maybe it’s just enough to mark the volumes no longer available as “Error” or n appropriate status by update à volume parameters I would guess this should be a good way. On the other hand, after dropping the database entirely, you may re-read all the other volumes and include them into your newly generated database again. But maybe the power users have different ideas… Best, Christian Von: Chris Wilkinson <winstonia...@gmail.com> Gesendet: Sonntag, 31.

On second thoughts, I will need another solution since dropping the database entirely would also wipe the records for a second NAS that stores backups for another set of jobs. I’d rather not lose that backup set if possible. Best -Chris- On 31 Jan 2021, at 14:52, Chris Wilkinson <winstonia...@gmail.com <mailto:winstonia...@gmail.com> > wrote: Yes, that seems a good plan.

Would that > work, is there a better way ? I think somewhere in the directory tree there's a script "drop_bacula_tables", and probably also "create_bacula_tables". I haven't used them for more than a decade, but I think manual mentions them (in addition to classic tarball install) in some beginners guide, so you could drop all the traces of initial error-and-trial experiments before switching to "production use". Of course, you'd better to consider first if there might ever be any conflict caused by the same job numbers etc. again. For example, if you have an archieve of old bootstrap files, you'd better to get rid of those files too at the same time so they won't confuse you in the future. -- TiN _______________________________________________ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net <mailto:Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net> https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users
