4.1. Extracting all content from a backup

The bacula Catalog is the book Content, without it is harder to find some thing, but yet it is possible, so take care about your Catalog in bacula.

Without the Catalog is not possible to extract one file from the backup, but it is possible to restore the whole data from the backup.

bextract -p -V Label-Pool-01-File11-0001 AC-01-FileGr1-Dev1 /tmp/

Where Label-Pool-01-File11-0001 is the volume that was configured at Pool configuration like Label Format, and, AC-01-FileGr1-Dev1 is the storage, too configured at Pool like Storage, both of them mentioned at bacula-dir.conf, and /tmp/ is the folder that the backup will be restored.
