Thanks for the suggestions. As of right now I could just customize for one
server.

Hello,
2013/4/20 Michael D. Wood <[email protected]>
Pick the image booting from the rescue CD and dumping to a blank hard drive and
rebooting to a fully functional server.
Do you want universal functionality or customized for one or a few servers?
I ask because if you need universal functionality then it will be a very hard
task to complete.
If it will be a customized one then all you need is Bacula File Daemon
installed on bootable media - I entourage you to use any Live-USB distribution
for that it is easier - and a set of bare metal provisioning scripts which take
a rest. Those scripts should partition required disks, create any RAID or/and
LVM configuration, create required filesystems on top of that, initiate a full
restore from Bacula server and finally will install a bootloader. You don't
need to write a scripts for detect anything and handling a bunch of exceptions
then to parse available data for bare metal configuration with a bunch of other
exceptions, etc.
<ad here>I use LinuxBMR and Windows BMR functionality available on Bacula
Enterprise. It is an universal BMR functionality and is working great.</ad here>
