Also, is it possible to retrieve the data from Bacula volumes, without
using Bacula? I mean, for eg., if my Bacula system goes down & all
I have been left out is just Volumes where backup was done. Can I
restore the data to a new machine without re-installing Bacula. 

'bextract'
is not installed until and unless we install Bacula server. Or at least
I could not figure out any way to install just bextract to retrieve the
data from the volumes. Is there any rpm present which will just install
the Bacula tools ( selective tools) without installing the Server part.


Thanks,
Amit
