[Bacula-users] Re: Problem with Windows Client Restore.

[Mahesh <mah...@gt...>]

hi, 

I have been trying to figure out why i have been facing the above-mentioned
problem. I thought of posting wht i tried, so here goes....

Assume the Windows 2000 client backup tree structure looks like :
            c:
            \
              bacula
              \
                Uninstall.exe
                doc
                \
                  Bacula_Bugs.html
                  bacula.pdf
                  .........
                  .......

CASE I =>
--------------------------------------------------------------------     
I manually created directory path at the Windows Client : 
c:\tmp\bacula-restores

I Launch the Restore job with parameters :
JobName:    RestoreFiles1
Bootstrap:  /root/bacula/working/restore.bsr
Where:      /tmp/bacula-restores
Replace:    always
FileSet:    Expt Set1
Client:     WIN1-fd
Storage:    File
When:       2005-09-23 17:02:30
Catalog:    MyCatalog
Priority:   10

I get errors :
23-Sep 17:10 WIN1-fd: RestoreFiles1.2005-09-23_17.04.15 Error:
..\findlib\../../findlib/create_file.c:281 Could not open
/tmp/bacula-restores/c/\bacula/working/: ERR=The system cannot find
the path specified.

  JobId:                  13
  Job:                    RestoreFiles1.2005-09-23_17.04.15

  Files Restored:         0
  Bytes Restored:         0

  FD Errors:              115
  FD termination status:  Error
  SD termination status:  OK
  Termination:            *** Restore Error ***
----------------------------------------------------------------------

CASE II =>
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I manually created directory path at the Windows Client :
c:\tmp\bacula-restores\c\bacula\doc

I launched the Restore job with the same parameters, as above.

It works fine :
WIN1-fd: -rwxrwxrwx   1 0        0            891 2005-04-24 17:24:49 
/tmp/bacula-restores/c/\bacula/doc/bacula.css
WIN1-fd: -rwxrwxrwx   1 0        0        3072616 2005-04-24 17:25:07 
/tmp/bacula-restores/c/\bacula/doc/bacula.pdf
WIN1-fd: -rwxrwxrwx   1 0        0           3057 2005-04-24 17:24:48 
/tmp/bacula-restores/c/\bacula/doc/Bacula_Bugs.html
.......
......

The restore works fine. The restore tree on the Windows client now 
looks like :
           c:
            \
              bacula-restores
              \
                c
                 \
                  bacula
                   \
                    Uninstall.exe
                    doc
                     \
                      Bacula_Bugs.html
                      bacula.pdf
                      .........
                      .......
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now, Does this have anything to do with Windows Ownerships and 
Permissions ? If so, how do i resolve this ? Phew ! I need some help !
