## Introduction
|
|
|
|
Bacula is a backup software, bareos is a fork of it. Here are some tips and solutions to specific problems.
|
|
|
|
## Adjust an existing volume for pool configuration changes
|
|
|
|
In bconsole, run the following commands and follow the prompts :
|
|
```sh
|
|
update pool from resource
|
|
update all volumes in pool
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Using bextract
|
|
|
|
On the sd you need to have a valid device name with the path to your tape, then run :
|
|
```sh
|
|
bextract -V <volume names separated by |> <device-name>
|
|
<directory-to-store-files>
|
|
```

## Integer out of range sql error
|
|
|
|
If you get an sql error `integer out of range` for an insert query in the catalog, check the id sequence for the table which had the error. For
|
|
example with the basefiles table :
|
|
```sql
|
|
select nextval('basefiles_baseid_seq');
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You can then fix it with :
|
|
```sql
|
|
alter table BaseFiles alter column baseid set data type bigint;
|
|
```
