I'm sort of new to bacula, so I might be totally off on this but... from
what I understand is that the catalog (database) keeps track of jobs,
which is important for where to find information about files that were
backed up. Then if you lose your catalog, you can recreate it using
the bootstrap file. (Is that correct?) And the bootstrap file is
updated each time you run backups, so in order to restore correctly, you
need the LATEST bootstrap file.
Is there any way to remove this dependency on the bootstrap file by
prepending meta-data to the volumes themselves? Assuming that
everything on the volumes is "safe" and the rest of your systems get
destroyed, how can you recover?
