We currently are implementing Bacula 3.0.3a as our backup system on a mix of 
Windows XP and RHEL 4.8 machines.  We used a altlinux based distribution called 
Bran that offers a decent web interface for reporting and initiating backups.  
So far we haven't had any significant outages that would require any major 
restores( we have done a few test exercises restoring a file).  My concern 
going forward is how we would handle restores.  Our current procedure consists 
of restoring from an old Acronis image backup with the bacula client installed, 
and running a restore from the server.  We would like to get away from that and 
develop a boot cd with partition information and mbr for each system.  Has 
anyone had any success with creating a boot cd with this information?  Where 
would you suggest we start to develop this system?

The  other concern I have for restores is in situations where we are attempting 
to rollback from a patch or kernel update.  Bacula will replace files on a 
system, but it will not delete files that were added after the backup.  Is 
there anyway to remove any files newer than the date of the backup?

Thanks for the help.
