The manual talks about Strappazon’s approach to Win disaster recovery by backing up a “whole disk partition”.  I want to do this with BartPE and the Bacula plugin (I’ve already created the boot CD-ROM referencing my Linux-based Director where this Windows machine is defined as a client).  I don’t understand how to code the FileSet.  I assume I need to specify a raw partition; in Unix terms, the manual uses /dev/hda1 as an example of such a specification in a FileSet.  What filespec(s) do I feed to the Windows FD to get it to backup multiple IDE or SCSI partitions (one Windows workstation has IDE disks, another has SCSI)?  Windows natively has no concept of /dev.  Does the FD accept specifications like /dev/had and magically translate them to Windows terminology?  If so, what are the rules for constructing file specs in the FileSets that select among multiple IDE/SCSI partitions on Windows machines?
