It is possible but without a bootstrap file you wouldn't be able to
control what job or a number of jobs gets extracted.
If you have multiple backup jobs from multiple systems contained inside
the same backup volume (which is common scenario) the restore without a
bsr file would make a mess in the specified output directory.

I might be wrong because I didn't try it but it seems to me that this is
exactly what would happen (unless you are using one job per volume which
is possible but rare practice).
