The situation was a hard disk on a Windows system that had suddenly developed a loud whine and we wanted to replace it ASAP. The procedure was this: 1. Boot to Knoppix. 2. Download statically-compiled Bacula fd to client machine over network onto ramdisk. 3. Start fd. 4. Set up special client and fileset on Bacula server, specifying the entire hard disk: /dev/hda 5. Do the backup. 6. Install identical replacement hard disk on client machine. 7. Repeat steps 1 through 3. 8. Do restore. This process was completed in a surprisingly short amount of time, 2-3 hours as I recall. We also had the usual Bacula backups of this machine "just in case".
