I Damir, bls (list content) and brestore would be your friends in this case.
You don't need any db to work with.

See documentation in the bacula.org website.

I think you could even use them from a recent version on a another server.
The data should be restored to a windows client if you don't have specified the 
"compatibility" flag.

Hope this help you a bit
