bextract failing trying to restore catalog

[wizh...@gmail.com]

I run the following

bextract -b ~/bootstrap.bsr FileStorage-0001 /tmp/

I get theses errors and the sql file is empty

Any ideas why that would be?

Hello wizhippo,

Is it possible that you backed up your data with encryption turned on ? `stream=32` is supposed to be `STREAM_ENCRYPTED_FILE_COMPRESSED_DATA`.
I think bextract does not currently support extracting encrypted data.  Feel free to open an issue about it here: https://github.com/bareos/bareos/issues

Correct I am using encryption.  If you cannot use bextract on encrypted volumes how are you supose to recover them?

I have tried this for example

bscan -v -b /tmp/bootstrap.bsr -m -s FileStorage-0001

I get error that it cannot update the media record., but it inserts the files an job.  I can't restore in my tests from that as it complains there is not volume

I may be nitpicking, but this is not an encrypted volume (which would
have worked fine with bextract) but a volume containing an encrypted
backup job.
I guess someone should add that limitation (i.e. bextract being unable
to decrypt data records) to the documentation.

When you bscan just the job, bscan will not see the volume-label and
thus it can't add the volume to the catalog.

Maybe you can use "-V Full-0001" instead of the BSR to scan the whole
volume?
Otherwise you might be able either edit the BSR to add the add the label
block or create a new BSR that will just read the label block.

Best Regards,
Andreas
