Aw: [bareos-users] Re: reset completely

[Andreas Haase]

Good morning,

I have a bareos-installation 17.2.6 on UCS 4.3-2.
Due to manual interventions in volumes and jobs, the backup is inconsistent. I've made a full backup of all the data outside bareos and now want to reset bareos completely. What is the simplest way to do this?

sounds good. deleting the physical tapes is not a problem. Is there's a command to delete the catalog (volumes jobs ...) or how do I delete them fastest without having to delete each volume and job one at a time?

you could delete the database completely. It only contains items out of your configuration (which stays in /etc/bareos or some similiar directory) and the meta information you want to delete (jobs, files, retention time and so one). So it is save to delete the database. Afterwards, you have to create it anew like documented here http://doc.bareos.org/master/html/bareos-manual-main-reference.html#x1-400002.4

Andreas

ok, I delete all volumes and jobs in the db with bconsole and the volumes in the fs.

How can I reste the counter for next volume an jobid in bareos that the next job become id 0001 and the Volumes Full-0001, Diff-0001 and Inc-0001

wouldn't be more quicker to simply drop database, then all filesystem volumes
and simply recreate the database ?
