Thanks for the input. I created a file /tmp/restorelist.txt with the name of the file I want to restore and am running the "bextract" command at the moment. I hope the syntax below is correct. ./bextract -i /tmp/restorelist.txt -V 937ABO /dev/nst1 /tmp/bacula-restore/ bextract: match.c:249-0 add_fname_to_include prefix=0 gzip=0 fname=ABC_logs_for_20091215.tgz bextract: butil.c:282 Using device: "/dev/nst1" for reading. 28-Sep 09:12 bextract JobId 0: Invalid slot=0 defined in catalog for Volume "937ABO" on "LTO4_2" (/dev/nst1). Manual load my be required. 28-Sep 09:12 bextract JobId 0: 3301 Issuing autochanger "loaded? drive 1" command. 28-Sep 09:12 bextract JobId 0: 3302 Autochanger "loaded? drive 1", result is Slot 28. 28-Sep 09:12 bextract JobId 0: Ready to read from volume "937ABO" on device "LTO4_2" (/dev/nst1).
