[Bacula-users] Re - Restore failed - bacula-fd doesn't follow symbolic links
Hello all, I've just found a way to fix the problem I have. It was dns resolution problem (see bacula logs below). Fatal error: Bad response to Storage command: wanted 2000 OK storage , got 2902 Bad storage Anyway, I'm still trying to figure out how can I enforce the file daemon to follow symlinks on Linux filesystem. Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated.

It appear that bacula-fd doesn't follow symbolic link. The server run under Linux Centos version 5.8 with bacula-fd version 5.0.2 I tought that by default, symlink will be followed by the file daemon, isn't ? I think that Bacula doesn't follow symbolic links. If it would follow symlinks it would get in trouble when the symlink is broken. If it would follow symlinks it would write multiple copies to tape, where only one exists on disk. Should I change the FileSet configuration ? As I still need to restore those files, any help would be really appreciated. I would check the filesystem (partition) where symlinks points to.

Hello, this sounds good for me. It's exactly what I did to recover my data. I just had to figure out where my data were located and it worked fine. The issue I had was not due 'cause the file daemon doesn't follow symlinks indeed.
