BSCAN(8)	     Backup Archiving REcovery Open Sourced		BSCAN(8)

NAME
      bscan - Bareos's 'Scan volumes'

SYNOPSIS
     bscan [options] bareos-archive

DESCRIPTION
     The  purpose  of bscan is to read (scan) a Bareos 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 en-
     tries that have been lost by pruning, purging, deleting, or a database cor-
     ruption problem.

     Normally, it should not be necessary to run the bscan command  because  the
     database  is self maintaining.  Logical inconsistencies in the Bareos data-
     base can be found by bareos-dbcheck.  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.
