9 bscan \- Bacula's 'Scan tape'
17 The purpose of bscan is to read (scan) a Bacula Volume and to recreate
18 or update the database contents with the information found on the Volume.
19 This is done in a non-destructive way. This permits restoring database
20 entries that have been lost by pruning, purging, deleting, or a database
24 Normally, it should not be necessary to run the bscan command because
25 the database is self maintaining, and most corrupted databases can be
26 repaired by the tools provided by the database vendors.
27 In addition, if you have maintained bootstrap files during backups, you
28 should be able to recover all your data from the bootstrap file
29 without needed an up to date catalog.
