Surely the simple solution here is:
- Install new minimal base OS
- Install bacula agent
- Restore /etc/passwd, /etc/group, /etc/shadow
- Restore everything else
To speed this up, you could even have a separate backup of an "auth"
fileset containing only those three files.
...Matter of fact, I think I'm going to do that right now.
