First, thanks to so many who have contributed to creating a robust and
elegant backup solution.  It is the only one I could find that has
enterprise-class features, and backs up all my OS's (Win, Lin, OS X). 

rh: es4 2.6.9.42.0.2.el
rescue: 1.8.6
bacula: 1.38.11
both sources located under /root

My task is to prove the restore process.  I'm trying to use the boot cd.
If I should switch to something else that is better, please point me in
the right direction.  My windows restore process went very well, no
hitches.  I'm working on my Linux servers, and OS X is next.  

I've run through the process a couple of times and assume some error on
my part is the cause of the problem.  

I've tried it with and without bacula-fd ./configured as static.

In my first attempt I compiled non-static:
1. start-network failed because the mask was 255.0.0.0 on a 192.168
network, and no gateway.  
2. there was no bacula-fd.conf anywhere after booting.  To determine
this, from / I ran ls -Rl|grep bacula-fd.  
3. hard drive partition didn't in that the last partition created
exceeded the available space on the disk.  

I recompiled the fd from /root/bacula-1.38.11/ with:
./configure --bindir=/usr/bin --sbindir=/usr/sbin --enable-static-fd --
enable-client-only

"make all" created an image that used the bacula-fd.conf from the
bacula-1.38.11/src folder, instead of the one from /etc/bacula.

Booting this cd and running start-network again set a network config
with the wrong mask, and no gateway.

So, before I spend another few days trying to patch this, can anyone see
what I'm doing wrong?

TIA,
Don.
