[Bacula-users] scripted restore not failsafe

[Christoph K. <ck...@ip...>]

Hi everybody,

I have server1 which creates files at
/somewhere/$YEAR/$MONTH/$DAY/ on a daily basis.

I want to restore this directory to server2.
So far, I have come up with this script:

/usr/sbin/bconsole << EOF
restore client=server1 select current strip_prefix=/somewhere/$YEAR/$MONTH/$DAY add_prefix=/somewhereelse/
restoreclient=server2
cd /somewhere/$YEAR/$MONTH/$DAY
mark *
done
yes
EOF 

The problem now is, if the "cd /somewhere/..." fails, then the next line
marks everything. The "cd" could fail, if the last backup of server1 didn't
run or the directory was not created for whatever reason.
Is there a way to fail if the path is not in the backup?

Cheers,
  Christoph
