I am on Bareos 19.2.5 running on Ubuntu 18.04
I cannot restore a file. Have tried to restore different files no success.
what I have tried.
On the restore tab I selected the backup client I wished to restore a
file from.
I selected the latest incremental backup. (I also tried earlier
incremental and the latest full backup)
I left the "merge all client filesets", "Merge all related jobs to last
full backup of selected backup job" both as Yes
Restore to client was to the same client as the backup was made on
Restore Job options is greyed out.
Replace files on client is set to never
Restore location on client is set to /tmp/bareos-restores/
(note in previous versions I have done this restore but in this versions
it fails to restore the file)
with the restore multiple files tab selected, I select the file I wish
to restore, I get a window that says
A restore job with the parameters given below will be scheduled.
*Client:* BEE-XPS15-fd
*Restore to client:* BEE-XPS15-fd
*Replace files on client:* never
*Restore location on client:* /tmp/bareos-restores/
*Directories selected:* 0
*Files selected:* 1
but looking at the dash, no run is created. No file is created in the
/tmp directory
on the restore specific file version
the system does not show there are multiple in the right hand window
box when the file is selected and shows selected in the selected box. I
get a no file to restore response.
I have found other files that do show options to select different
versions of the file.
as a test I selected one of those but again, it failed to create a run
when restore was selected even though the restore page looked like it
should have created a run.
I also tried to use bconsole to restore the file by selecting a specific
incremental backup and the file, but bconsole failed to restore the file
as well.
I selected a different client to restore a file, It also failed to
create a run.
checked the bareos.log file but nothing show in there since my last backup.
any ideas what might be wrong in my system?
PS - on my upgrade to 19.2.5 from previous (i think it was
18.something), the upgrade failed at the point where it asked me if I
wanted the new configuration or keep my old configuration. I decided to
look at the difference but did not figure the correct way out of the
window I was in (ok I should probably have hit Q). So I terminated the
window. At any rate, Bareos then told me there was a problem with the
database and I discovered that in the Bareos scripts directory there was
a file update_bareos_tables file with a date of the Ubuntu update I was
doing. I executed that file (as user bareos) and things seemed to be
working but I suspect that there is something missing in the update that
is causing my restore problems.
thanks for any help.
