> I had a machine die on me, and I had to replace it this week. Bacula

>
> Failing that, if I were to store the volume files that contain my last
> backup(s), is there a way that I can, in the future, get bacula to reload
> the information off those volumes and retrieve data from the backups they
> contain?

> Thank you very much.
