Can't say I've tried a full machine restore from a windows backup as our
clients mostly need to restore single files from backup (office
documents etc).
In a disaster recovery scenario we'd just do a fresh windows install and
restore all files from backup, the JP's should be in place from the
fresh install.
Btw, I was under the impression Bacula couldn't restore junction points
correctly? (the folder yes, but not the actual JP) So even backing them
up for a restore wouldn't achieve the goal I think?

Jeremy
