Hello everyone,

I have identified an issue with file extraction using Bextract.

A segmentation fault occurs, and according to the logs, it fails to open the Bareos-sd backend device that it needs to read from.

However, I have not been able to find similar cases in the same version. In particular, this issue started occurring after upgrading to Bareos 25.0.3.

Previously, I was using version 24.0.7, where everything worked as expected.

The only difference in the environment is the version upgrade.

Here is my analysis so far: Thank you.

I'm not sure to understand at 100% your problem. especially the description of of the version used.

To make it clear: bareos-tools have to have the same version of the sd both depending on the bareos-common libs.

I've just tested here with master and it work, also don't forget to run the tool as bareos user and not root

So calling the tool with 

su bareos -c "/usr/sbin/bextract -d200 -v -i /tmp/include.list -V volume_name archive_device_path /var/tmp/extract"

Work smoothly.


Please verify that you upgrade all component to the same version.

Thank you for your response.

It seems that my previous test records caused some confusion.

I installed the community distribution from:
https://download.bareos.org/current/EL_8/
Version: 25.0.3
OS: Rocky Linux 8.10

All observations below are based on the same version.

I also tested using the method you suggested (su bareos -c "..."), but it did not work.

The segmentation fault occurs only on version 25.0.3 under the same configuration, and according to the logs, it fails to open the device.

Based on this, I suspect that the Bareos-sd backend may have changed after the version upgrade, and that Bextract might no longer be compatible with it.

Additionally, it seems that the issue may also be related to the Bareos-sd media type (file/dedupe).

Are there any alternative approaches?

Or would it be better to build and test from the current master branch on GitHub?

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
