To locate this information, I used this query on Google: site:www.bacula.org VSS http://www.bacula.org/rel-manual/FileSet_Resource.html > How could I restore files save with bacula on a machine on another machine. > It happens if the notebooks has disappeared (broken or theft).

Restores are generally done manually. bacula-dir.conf usually contains just one restore job. You use it like this from within bconsole: *restore [pick what you need to restore] Building directory tree for JobId 12656 ... Building directory tree for JobId 12692 ... 22 Jobs, 23,495 files inserted into the tree. You are now entering file selection mode where you add (mark) and remove (unmark) files to be restored. No files are initially added, unless you used the "all" keyword on the command line. Enter "done" to leave this mode. cwd is: / $ mark * 25,069 files marked. $ done Bootstrap records written to /home/bacula/working/bacula- dir.2.restore.bsr The job will require the following Volumes: DLT7000-JYN236 DLT7000-JYN237 DLT7000-JYN238 DLT7000-JYN239 25069 files selected to be restored.
