You can pipe commands directly into bconsole, eg: bconsole <<EOF restore client=target-fd 5 mark * done yes EOF The '5' is the 'Select most recent backup for a client' option. If you knew the jobid you could just put that in the restore command eg 'restore jobid=12345 client=target-fd' but if you want to restore the latest backup then you'll need to use the former approach. You could also issue a 'wait' command after you start the restore but I think you'd need to know the jobid of the job you just started for that to be useful, and getting that might be hard. There may be a better way of scripting bacula too, but the above is what I use when I'm just testing.
