Hello, I already sent this a while ago but never saw it in the list so I'm trying again. We are using bacula (15.0.2) with our S3 compatible Ceph-RGW and the "Amazon" driver as storage and the new "Volume Encryption" feature for data encryption which works great but I recently thought how I could restore data in case the bacula database goes boom or I simply have backup data that is not in the database anymore. I had similar cases in the past when using disk storage without data encryption and the Volume Utility Tools (ie. bls and bextract) always helped but with the current setup I wouldn't know how to: a) Assemble the actual volume from the parts in the S3/RGW storage as we split it into 1GB parts before upload and b) Decrypt the volume (of course given I have the key that was used to encrypt the volume) This is purely out of curiosity, we have backups for our bacula database on separate storage so a complete data loss should not happen but I'd still like to know if I can restore data with only the split volumes in the S3/RGW and the respective key used for encryption. Regards, Martin
