rescue disks in general. I am working to get my backups solid before
venturing into bare metal restores, simulated (i.e., onto a spare
partition) or real (onto a nice, shiny new hard disk after the old one

I doubt the rescue disk will automagically create the /proc mount
point on the hard disk that is being restored. It will create a /proc

Same for the /dev/* special files. Unless you built the rescue disk
yourself, chances are
If you do something like backup
File = /
but do not allow filesystem trasitions, Bacula (version 1.36.3, and perhaps
one or two versions earlier) will write out all the directory entries for the
filesystems not backed up. They will then be restored.
In any case, in order to run Bacula in di

I'm 95% certain that you can create a FileSet which takes a list of targets
from the output of a script. You could
