In this scenario, you can:
- install a Director and SD on another running system;
- bscan the tape containing your last Catalog dump;
- bextract the Catalog dump;
- load the restored dump into your Catalog;
- make any necessary configuration updates;
- start Bacula;
and you should be up and running.
