[CentOS] OT: bareos, Windoze, beating head on wall
Again, I'm posting here because when I tried their mailing list, I
didn't
get much response.
I'm trying to do a restore, from my CentOS 6 box, to a WinDoze box. The
restore command is *not* user-friendly if you just want to restore a few
files. And it gets weird.... First, I have to mark my path first - I don't
just see it with ls. Then, when I do an ls, in
c:/Users/<username/Documents/, it shows
*MATLAB
*My Music
*My Pictures
*My Videos
*Visual Studio 2005/
*Visual Studio 2008/
*desktop.ini
*None* of which are there. All that's there are teo files, testfile.bak
and testfile.txt. MATLAB is in some other user's directory....
Here's the fileset spec from bareos-dir.conf
FileSet {
Name = "citdcbhebronset"
Include {
Options {
Signature = MD5 # calculate md5 checksum per file
Ignore Case = yes
}
File = "c:/Users"
}
}
Anyone have any clue as to what I'm doing wrong? Googling - a lot of it -
gives me 90% the bareos docs, and very little else.

You are now entering file selection mode where you add (mark) and remove (unmark) files to be restored. No files are initially added, unless you used the "all" keyword on the command line. Enter "done" to leave this mode. cwd is: / cd C:/Users/[username]/Documents dir ... C:/Users/[username]/Documents/Visual Studio 2005/ ... dir "Visual Studio 2005" drwxrwxrwx 1 root wheel 0 2015-06-03 11:55:12 C:/Users/[username]/Documents/Visual Studio 2005/ [looks like it doesn't like to show the content, but if I enter there, I'll see stuff there, so now I just will add it to restore] add "Visual Studio 2005" 4 files marked. done ... 7 files selected to be restored. ... So, in my case the files are there. What happens it you use "add" command to add directory containing the fires you need to restore? Thanks.

It's as though the index is screwed. mark

It's normal for bareos mailing list and bugtrac system. Bareos is paid support oriented (even opesourced), so don't expect so much help from them - when they could get some money for that (paid support). For me it was too hostilie env: bareos mailing list or bug track system - so i opted out (i reported some bugs in their bugtrac system) and now i'm with bareos problems on my own.> > I'm trying to do a restore, from my CentOS 6 box, to a WinDoze box.

I use BAT for that (even that tools fails in some cases) - i use: list files on job. You can use BAT for search files, but with bareos ver. 15 BAT is working worse. Ten look careful, if you selected proper restore way (type of restore nad time frame). Maybe in selected time frame files where deleted ?

No even a second look by anyone.> >> >> I'm trying to do a restore, from my CentOS 6 box, to a WinDoze box. The >> restore command is *not* user-friendly if you just want to restore a few >> files.

Maybe in selected time frame files where deleted ?I've been looking in various ways, and I just checked another Windows system - this one is a single users (as opposed to a server), and it's the same: a) it seems to have completely flattened the directory structure, such that everything is visible in one directory, and b) not just from one user, but all of them. *sigh* I was just trying to restore one single file... but as I said, I can't even find it. mark
