Re: [Bacula-users] bacula/etc folder contents gone - any way to fix?

[R. L. H. <rl...@gm...>]

Just tried and I'm getting this:

# ./bextract /export/bacula-saves/clients/ /export/morebacula/
bextract: butil.c:277 Could not find device "/export/bacula-saves/clients"
in config file bacula-sd.conf.
29-Sep 11:46 bextract JobId 0: Fatal error: butil.c:167 Cannot find device
"/export/bacula-saves/clients" in config file bacula-sd.conf.


/export/bacula-saves/clients/ contains about 50 different volumes and
/export/morebacula/ is just an empty directory where everything can be
restored to...am I doing this wrong?
