In a disaster recovery scenario we'd just do a fresh windows install and restore all files from backup, the JP's should be in place from the fresh install.
Btw, I was under the impression Bacula couldn't restore junction points correctly? (the folder yes, but not the actual JP) So even backing them up for a restore wouldn't achieve the goal I think?
