[Bacula-users] generic 'bare metal' restore CD

2006-12-26 Thread James Harper
Assuming that the user would be responsible for the initial partitioning etc, is there any reason that a generic 'bare metal' restore CD could not be made? It looks like the catalogs and bootstrap files can be recreated with the bscan etc tools, so unless I'm missing something, it should be

1. A snapshot of your hard disk configuration. 2. A copy of your current Bacula file daemon that can be run on a rescue system (i.e. probably statically linked). 3. A bunch of scripts that can be used to do various recovery tasks (bring up the network, repartition your hard disks as they

Yes, I think that is a good idea. First, though, we must create such a tar file, which doesn't currently exist as such. If you load and run the rescue make, it will exist as a directory. One other thing that might be an issue is encryption information. I'm not sure if the current scripts

Well, interestingly enough, I am just today working on the Bacula rescue CDROM, and I have just about given up the idea of making a generic rescue CDROM for a number of reasons that I'll describe below. First, here is what I consider the Bacula CDROM to be: 1. A snapshot of your hard
