Hi All,
I am successfully backing up a rather large deployment of Linux as well as Windows (2003 / 2008) systems. All the Windows machines are being backed up using VSS, and everything is running good.
From what I can see under the backups, VSS is successfully being used, backing up files (open or closed), MSDE, IIS, and various other things - just like I would like to expect. Please correct me if this is incorrect and I am missing the point...

What I would like to know however, is how to restore these VSS snapshots? For example, how can I instruct bacula to restore IIS and MSDE, or only the Event Log which was backed up through VSS, but not restore any physical files and/or the entire system?
Am I understanding this correct, doing something incorrectly, missing out somewhere?
Thank you kindly for your time and responces.
