Bacula isn't really about bare-metal recovery, especially when it comes 
to Windows.  Using just Bacula, the answer for Windows is to install the 
system from scratch on the new hardware, install the Bacula client, then 
do a restore.  I'm not even sure how simple restore will work with 
locked files, such as with the system and user registries.

What I do is to use a separate Windows backup package to create a 
bare-metal recovery image (Acronis, Ghost, whatever), then back that 
image up using Bacula.  You need an external drive and a system to 
restore the image into that drive.  Then you use the boot CD of the 
Windows backup software to restore as if Bacula weren't in the picture.
