Hello,
The correct way of planing bare bacula server recovery is to restore all
config files (it is a must) and a catalog data from the catalog backup
(optional). If you do not have a catalog backup then you can use bscan as
mentioned by Josip (alternative). Catalog recovery from catalog backup in
most cases will be a far faster (and shorter in time) then bscanning all
your volumes.
best regards
