Dear bacula users, we use bacula for some years now, excellent tool! But there is one open question I was not able to answer 'til today:
Doing windows (XP)-client backups I need the possibility to do a disaster recovery. My solution (tested successfully) is 1.) Do "ntbackup backup systemstate /F c:\systemstate.bkf" using ClientRunBeforeJob 2.) Do a bacula backup using VSS including c:\systemstate.bkf Disaster recovery then is 1.) Install a minimal windows client 2.) restore c: using bacula (includes systemstate.bkf) 3.) restore systemstate using ntbackup on the client 4.) reboot This works but has two ceveats: ntbackup runs several minutes even on an unused system and the resulting backup is severeal gb every day. So I wonder if VSS won't fit my needs _without_ doing a ntbackup systemstate with clientRunBeforeJob? Will a VSS backup of partition C: save all system relevant information (registry etc.) for disaster recovery? -- Kind regards Christoph _________________________________________ Christoph Litauer Uni Koblenz, Computing Centre, Office A 022 Postfach 201602, 56016 Koblenz Fon: +49 261 287-1311, Fax: -100 1311 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Everyone hates slow websites.
