The volume this file represents is reused over and over, however it is backed up to tape nightly by another system so that the file can be restored to a previous date. I have had this file restored from the beginning of the year - now I need bacula to see this file and allow me to restore the files that are backed up within it.
In Oracle RMAN I would do this - I would restore the backup files from tape to a local directory. I would then catalog those files so that RMAN knows where the files are and what they contain. Then I can perform the restore and it knows exactly where to go to get the files it needs.
Is there an equivalent in Bacula or am I stuck with only being able to restore the previous days data?
