TCP-WRAPPERS CONFIGURATION
Tcpwrappers looks for the service name of the bacula daemons in hosts.allow , and the service names of these daemons is configured to be
different from the binary. The service names are configured to be %hostname%-%component% rather than bacula-dir (As defined in the bacula-
dir.conf.in file)
So the hosts.allow entry has to match %hostname%-%component% (servername-dir for example) instead of bacula-%component%
WARNING: This means that if the hosts.allow file has the entry:
bacula-dir: ALL
you will not be able to run bconsole to connect to the local director!
The entry would have to read:
server-dir: ALL
and this will allow the console to connect to the director. (The process running is bacula-dir.)

BSCAN(8) Network backup, recovery and verification BSCAN(8)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.
