Bacula saves all data in the archive volume file or device specific volume,
i.e. a tape or cloud objects. This volume file contains all information
required for proper data restore which include raw data and associated
metadata (timestamps, permissions, checksums, acls, attributes, etc.).
This is similar to any other standard archive formats like tar or zip. This
is how it is supposed to be done.

What do you mean by "without any extra tools"?
When you browse any other archive file formats, i.e. tar or zip you need to
use a dedicated utility. This is the same for Bacula. You need a tool "bls"
to list/browse contents of the archive volume.

I suspect you need the "rsync" to copy the source directory to the
destination and to be able to browse a destination without any extra tools,
I think.

I hope it helps.
