I am doing a Windows 2008 backup with vss support enabled. The system state is backed up using wbadmin utility and then saved to bacula. Regarding the junction points, i have hundred of warnings each time i make a backup with bacula, i don´t know how to avoid this and ,like Michael, i am very interesting in how to solve it...

windows 2008 including the system state, and more importantly can you
restore the system state during a full restore.
anyone done this can confirm it works
