However to get an accurate copy that takes account of deleted files you need to have "Accurate" enabled on your backup jobs.
http://www.bacula.org/en/dev-manual/main/main/Released_Version_3_0_3_3_0_.html#SECTION00421000000000000000 Then from bconsole use "restore". option 6 "Select backup for a client before a specified time" enter the date that you want to recover and the client/fileset. Once that is selected bacula drops you into file selection mode. From file selection mode you can navigate the file hierarchy using "cd" and use the "mark" command to mark directories/files recursively. e.g. cd /var mark www would mark all of /var/www for restoration. See http://www.bacula.org/en/dev-manual/main/main/Restore_Command.html Hope this helps.
