OK. It looks like I have to go the hard way, and completely recreate the catalog from backups. Due to the number of volumes I have, I created a bootstrap file, as said on the documentation, that sets every volume I have.

My bscan command has to be used against files, not tapes. Since the storage daemon configuration is the same as before the crash (the storage server is not on my SAN), I know it is correct. So the command I'm trying to use is:

bscan -s -v -b /var/lib/bareos/bootstrap_bscan.bsr FileStorage

(will enter database information later)

As a result, I'm getting this:

bls: butil.c:289-0 Using device: "FileStorage" for reading.
26-Nov 21:40 bls JobId 0: Warning: acquire.c:267 Read acquire: Mount Volume "BareosVol-0001" on device "FileStorage" (/mnt/backups) and press return when ready:

I'm getting the last part multiple times, and it finally ends up saying:

26-Nov 21:40 bls JobId 0: Fatal error: acquire.c:316 Too many errors trying to mount device "FileStorage" (/mnt/backups) for reading.

Looks like it can't open the file for reading. Permissions issues ? Missing simething from the command line ?

Objet : Re: [bareos-users] How to restore files (backup to disk) without the catalog

Hello,

yes, exactly as Bruno says, you need to get you catalog back.

If you have the bootstrap record of your last backup in an email, it is relatively easy to get it back.

See "Restoring When Things Go Wrong" in the manual:
http://doc.bareos.org/master/html/bareos-manual-main-reference.html#x1-416000I.6.4

You can also use bextract and give it your bootstrap file with the -b parameter.
It will then directly extract your last catalog backup.

I wish you success!

 Hi,

 I have my SAN that crashed tonight, and I'd like to know what are my
 options to restore my files from my Bareos backups. My backups are
 backup-to-disk, but the catalog was on the SAN, as long as any other
 configuration. I really need to be able to restore from these backup
 files.

 How can I achieve this ?

 Thanks,

 I would say, recreate a catalog db server somewhere,
 and restore your last backup catalog there.

 You can use bscan to recreate the catalog from media

And at least using bls/bextract tools when nothing else could be used.
