5 As we felt a need for a restoration GUI for bacula, we developed a simple
7 It has the following features :
9 * Direct SQL access to the database for good performance
11 * Fast Time Navigation (switches almost instantaneously between the different
12 versions of a directory, by changing the date from a list)
14 * Possibility to choose a selected file, then browse all its available
15 versions, and see directly if these versions are online in a library or
18 * Simple restoration by the generation of a BSR file
20 * Works with either PostgreSQL or MySQL
22 We have a working (if a bit unpolished) version ready, and think it is time for
23 us to publish it and have user and Kern's feedback.
27 * We want to add some other features such as : the user has selected a FD
28 and a date, we want to display the list of media requested and their
31 * Plenty of features. As we don't have lots of imagination. Don't hesitate
32 to suggest us your ideas ...
34 * We want use Bacula to generate bsr files, at this time, you can't restore
35 files across different Storage (Full on tape, Incr on Disk for example)
37 For the moment, we want to concentrate on having a restoration interface. We
38 don't care about seeing the restoration progress, or anything else.
40 brestore is also available within Bweb.
