If you want to extract from Bareos Volume (files),
you can use the Bareos command line tools bls and bextract, see
https://docs.bareos.org/Appendix/BareosPrograms.html#bls

It would be great if it is available to extract files without bare-os on the computer, but as I understand bextract still need bare-os, that's why I used it next way:

C:\Program Files\Bareos>bextract.exe -c "C:\ProgramData\Bareos\bareos-sd.d\dir\storage.conf" C:\temp\daily-back-0200 C:\temp
bextract: stored/butil.c:268-0 Could not find device "C:\temp" in config file C:\ProgramData\Bareos\bareos-sd.d\dir\storage.conf.

Once I wrote DRP if my bareos server will dead.
It describes how to get working bareos server back using only media files.

Hello,

I think, that is quite a good documentation for disaster recovery. The only point I’d change, is the recommendation to completely delete the firewalld package. For someone reading your manual, who doesn’t know the consequences, that could be dangerous.

Regards,
Andreas
