Hello,
Some time ago, the project provided bare metal recovery, but the boot
process has evolved significantly since then with many differences
between vendor, which made maintenance of the BMR too onerous. However,
Bacula Systems as a part of their commercial offering does offer
selected Linux distro as well as Window complete BMR capabilities.
One reasonable alternative is to ensure you have complete backups of the
whole system, then in a disaster situation, reinstall the original OS
followed by doing a full Bacula restore. For those of you who use the
Bacula recommended install options (most files going in /opt/bacula)
restoring a fully functional Bacula is easy, and then once done,
restoring the whole OS as of the last backup is not hard. This
procedure works fine (I have done it on several of my computers) however
it may be slightly more time consuming than using the Bacula Systems BMR.
Best regards,
Kern

Hello,
I think what you mean is a bare metal recovery procedure.
This is generally possible but needs some special preparations and instructions.
It is not a full out of the box recovery procedure.
It depends on how secure you backup you servers.
I've already written a complex base article but I think
this is not the time to publish them here. I don't make
people to read boring and unfinished alpharelease stuff :-)
Cheers,
Pierre

Hi,
I've already a running system with bacula 9.4.4 and baculum.
My main question is, could I make a desaster recovery of my Windows and Linux
Server?
It seem to me, sat bacula only made File Backup?
I suggest more than a veeam thing, but then I've to use Bacula Enterprise, that
support things like hyper visor, SQL and Exchange and other features?
In the moment I've a proxmox cluster and use a mix from Backupassist and the
proxmox own backup, I want to replace this solution thru an centrelized
Backupserver.
Bye
Gregor
