No. It also does not save the MBR. On bare metal restore, as Bacula itself does not create filesystems, you have several options: - Create the disk layout manually, mount the file systems as they should be, and restore to the new location. Afterwards, set up your boot loader (typically rather simply after chroot'ing to the newly populated root directory mount point) - Use a rescue disk that automatically creates the file systems as needed. The Bacula rescue disk tries to do that, but it has problems in some cases, AFAIK. - Install a minimal target system and restore to that system after booting it. (That's what I usually do.)
