The whole idea of a 'one button restore' scares me just as much as typing 'rm -rf *'... I'm just testing a restore of an XP system using my Linux Rescue CD (nothing more than dfsbuild with bacula-fd and ntfs-3g loaded on it). I have built the ntfs filesystem and restored the files onto it... I'm just figuring out what to do to make it bootable, which may be horribly complicated. As an aside, when I ran the restore under linux of a BackupRead backed up XP system to a Linux ntfs-3g filesystem, I got a few of these: 28-Dec 00:51 testing-9bt6t7m-fd: RestoreFiles.2006-12-28_00.46.42 Error: attribs.c:409 File size of restored file /mnt/C:/D ocuments and Settings/NetworkService/ntuser.dat.LOG not correct. Original 1024, restored 16384. Is this just an artefact of Bacula extracting data out of the BackupRead streams or is there something else going on?
