Using just Bacula, the answer for Windows is to install the system from scratch on the new hardware, install the Bacula client, then do a restore. I'm not even sure how simple restore will work with locked files, such as with the system and user registries.
What I do is to use a separate Windows backup package to create a bare-metal recovery image (Acronis, Ghost, whatever), then back that image up using Bacula. You need an external drive and a system to restore the image into that drive. Then you use the boot CD of the Windows backup software to restore as if Bacula weren't in the picture. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Better than sec?
