Hi.
Perhaps they were asking if Bacula can back up at the device level?
The documentation for the FileSet Resource states that if you explicitly
specify a block device such as /dev/hda1 in a FileSet then Bacula as of
version 1.28 will assume it is a raw partition to be backed up.
It also recommends that if you use this, that you specify sparse=yes
as well to only store the data in the partition, rather than the whole
partition byte for byte.
Example from the manual:
Include {
Options { signature=MD5; sparse=yes }
File = /dev/hd6
}
