Re: [Bacula-users] Windows restore

Hi,

There is no problem to restore some files to windows

just make sure that you are backup the dump files of the SQL (i didn't checked it with live database)

I already make some restores to Windows and there are no problem with it

The only "problem" is that you can't restore the entire windows (I didn't try it)

I'm new to bacula and am considering it for a back up solution for a small business.

I've gotten the impression from reading the docs and wiki that it is difficult to restore a windows system (like windows server 2003 for instance) after a wipe.

Couldn't I just reinstall the OS, the registry backup, and the windows bacula client, reconfigure it and do a restore? I really only want some sql (ms sql, mysql) databases, and a directory full of pdfs backed up nightly in case of a failure or some kind of over write problem. What problems might I come across trying this method? Thanks for any comments in advance.

I just set up bacula on ubuntu 8.04 server, and have a couple win 2003 servers.
