Hello, I would suggest that you read the sections of the manual that document bscan, bls, and bextract. You will then understand that it is possible to do a large number of things without a bsr file. If you read the section of the manual about the bsr, you will understand that from simple Job output, you can easily construct a bsr that will restore the whole job or even parts of a job.
