I am using Bacula 2.0.3 (though I'm not sure this is the Windows FD
version). I'm trying to backup the Sytem State and configure VSS options,
but haven't deciphered from the manual how to do them.
I'm not very familiar with Windows, but these are clients that must be
backed up by Bacula.

FIrst, I need to backup the "System State". In the manual I see these
instructions to run "ntbackup backup systemstate /F c:\systemstate.bkf"
before backing up with Bacula. My question is can this be executed via the
FD as a command, or does it need to be scheduled on the host? What are the
requirements of running a command or script on a Windows system via the FD?

The other things I'm trying to do are options from ArcServe Brightstor,
where I'm migrating these clients from...

Windows - Traverse Directory junctions,  Volume  mount points

Windows - No preserve file hard links
VSS - Exclude files included by writer
VSS - Exclude files excluded by writer

I can see that you can set "EnableVSS = yes", but not how to set any
policies, or how to control its behavior. I see a FileSet option called
"hardlinks", but not sure if this applies to NTFS file systems and No idea
how to specify to Traverse Directory junctions and volume mount points.

Any advice, pointers, etc. is very appreciated.
