The ideal, from my point of view, is to construct a boostrap restore
file from a database query.

    Bootstrap File
    The bootstrap file is an ASCII file containing a compact form of
    commands that allow Bacula or the stand-alone file extraction
    utility (bextract) to restore the contents of one or more Volumes,
    for example, the current state of a system just backed up. With a
    bootstrap file, Bacula can restore your system without a Catalog.
    You can create a bootstrap file from a Catalog to extract any file
    or files you wish. 

You may be able to emulate the construction of a bootstrap file by
turning on verbose logging in your database daemon and then running a
manual bconsole restore. From this you will discover the sql queries
required to construct the bootstrap file. The bootstrap file can also be
constructed by doing all the steps to perform a restore then selecting
"no" at the last. A restore.bsr file will then be visible in your
working directory.
