Hi,
I''m using the ''backup'' parameter in file resources to
backup to a central filebucket on the puppetmaster.
How do I restore a backup? I couldn''t find anything
in the wiki, but saw some docs by running ''filebucket
--help''.
It says to restore a backed up file, you need to know
the md5sum. Unfortunately, AFAIK the only place this
information is stored is in the puppet logs, which in
my case are rotated and deleted regularly. Does this
mean I have a ton of backed up files, just no index to
find the specific one I want?
I assumed there would be some sort of restoration
command I could run either from the client or server
to list which backups are available and let me choose
which one to restore.
Something like:
filebucket --server mypuppetserver --node mynode
--file /etc/passwd /home/johnp/restored_passwd
would return
[1] <md5sum here> 8192b Dec 03 07:14
[2] <md5sum here> 9012b Jan 15 08:19
[3] <md5sum here> 9489b Jan 28 10:20
Select file to restore [1-3]:
Anyway, am I out of luck restoring backups without
knowing the md5sum of the file I want to retreive?
Thanks.

Here''s a quick one...
---- snip ----
file=$1
BUCKETDIR=$( puppetd --configprint clientbucketdir )
for f in $( find $BUCKETDIR -type f -name paths -exec grep -l $file {} \;
|xargs ls -t); do
md5sum=$( basename $(dirname $f))
filename=$(< $f )
modify_time=$(stat --format ''%y'' $f)
echo -e "$filename\t$md5sum\t$modify_time"
done
