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  Vol-
       ume.   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.   Logical  inconsistencies  in  the
       Bareos  database	 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.
