I'm looking for a way in bacula to restore a running machine to an image of 
how it was at the time it was backed up, including removing files that are 
not found in the backup.  Basically, this functionality:

rsync -av --delete /backup/location root@servertoberestored:/

I use this technique with rsync backups all the time, and it works 
wonderfully.  Just remember to use a list of excludes that 
avoid /dev/, /proc/, etc.  Is there any way to do the same with Bacula 2.4?

Regards,
Tyler
