You could write a script to touch all those files and put them into 
/usr/local/sbin . Something like this:

#!/bin/bash
touch /var/log/messages
touch ....

You may also want to have the same script recreate some other important 
files.

Make sure this script gets backed up. Then all you have to do is 
remember to run it after a full restore. You could even try to put it 
into a Client Run After script but I foresee a few problems with that.

Also, remember that a full restore requires a bit of manual work anyway. 
Simply restoring all the files is likely not going to be enough. There 
is a chapter on disaster recovery in the bacula documentation.
