Hello Robert, You do NOT want to restore with bacula-dir, you need only to install the client on the other windows server. The restore is performed on the director machine (the original bacula director daemon).
1) connect to director 2) install bacula-fd on the "other server" 3) open bacula-dir.conf on the main server 4) define the new client (the new "server") as per the bacula-fd definitons in step 2 and save. from next step on bconsole: 5) type "reload" 6) type "restore" 7) choose the job/client you wish to restore 8) mark files 9) after all done, and before you proceed with restore, type "mod" 10) choose the NEWLY DEFINED client (as per step 4) 11) type "yes" and wait for the restore to proceed over the net to the new "server". Good luck ! Michael On Nov 18, 2007 12:00 AM, Robert LeBlanc <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Don't reuse the client definition.
