Ludovic, Good to hear from you! Now your archived list messages make more sense to me. You were booting from Linux. Yes, I'm working towards creating a BartPE-based disaster recovery scheme for my Windows XP clients, using winbacula. Since you're not using winbacula and the cygwin libraries to resolve /dev/* file references (and I suspect nobody is) I'm on my own to dig deeper into the code and see what's going on -- or give up and do the backups under a Linux boot like you do.
Thanks for responding. --Gary -----Original Message----- From: Ludovic Strappazon [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, June 26, 2005 1:04 PM To: Gary Kopp Cc: bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [Bacula-users] Anyone successful with winbacula raw partitions? Hi Gary, I've never tried to backup a raw device with the Win client. I have just backed up a win NTFS partition as a raw device, with the Linux Client. So, this procedure allow to fully restore the system, but it is not very interesting since it needs to reboot your windows under Linux to do the backup. To do things this way, it is probably more interesting to use the BartPE CD, so you can do the same, and even browse your backup.
