NAME

	bscan - Bacula's 'Scan tape'

SYNOPSIS

       bscan [options] bacula-archive

DESCRIPTION

       The  purpose  of  bscan is to read (scan) a Bacula Volume and to recreate or update the database contents with the information found on the
       Volume.	This is done in a non-destructive way. This permits restoring database entries that have been lost by pruning, purging,  deleting,
       or a database corruption problem.

       Normally, it should not be necessary to run the bscan command because the database is self maintaining, and most corrupted databases can be
       repaired by the tools provided by the database vendors.	In addition, if you have maintained bootstrap files during backups, you should	be
       able to recover all your data from the bootstrap file without needed an up to date catalog.

       bscan command.
