Hello,
I'm looking for how to re-establish a directory in the exact state at the time
of a backup job, which means that the application files written after the
backup must be deleted.
The goal is to restore with Where = / so that the restore is sufficient,
without needing to go through a temporary folder (ie. / Tmp / bareos-restores)
+ rsync -a -delete
If I understand how bareos restore files, it starts by writing the backup
files, putting the permissions, then going back into the parent folder for
permission, and so on.
So, and always if I understand correctly, even with Replace = Always, the
restoration can never destroy the directory, nor the files present under the
tree.
Practical example below:
---------------
For example, in a job 'Test' I backuped 2 files:
/ Opt / test1
/ Opt / test2
Then I create / opt / test3.
When restoring the job N by marking the / opt directory
Bareos correctly restores the files test1 and test2, but will not erase test3.
Job {
Client = test-fd
Name = Test
JobDefs = "MooseJob"
Accurate = yes
}
JobDefs {
Name = "MooseJob"
Type = Backup
Level = Incremental
Messages = "Standard"
Storage = "vxlan1-to-Moose"
Pool = "Incremental"
FullBackupPool = "Full"
IncrementalBackupPool = "Incremental"
DifferentialBackupPool = "Differential"
FileSet = "LinuxAll"
Schedule = "WeeklyCycle"
WriteBootstrap = "/var/lib/bareos/%c.bsr"
MaximumBandwidth = 10485760
}
= Restore
Cwd is: /
$ Add opt /
3 files marked.
$ Estimate
41650 total files; 3 marked to be restored; 0 bytes.
$ Count
41,650 total files / dirs. 3 marked to be restored.
$ Done
.....
Run Restore job
JobName: RestoreFiles
Bootstrap: /var/lib/bareos/bareos-dir.restore.10.bsr
Where:
Replace: Always
FileSet: LinuxAll
Backup Client: test-fd
Restore Client: test-fd
Format: Native
Storage: vxlan1-to-Moose
When: 2017-02-24 11:38:16
Catalog: MyCatalog
Priority: 10
Plugin Options: * None *
OK to run? (Yes / mod / no): yes
Back on my test machine after restoration:
# Tree / opt /
/ Opt /
├── test1
├── test2
└── test3
The expected result was:
# Tree / opt /
/ Opt /
├── test1
└── test2
