Hello,

I would suggest that you read the sections of the manual that document
bscan, bls, and bextract.  You will then understand that it is possible
to do a large number of things without a bsr file.  If you read the
section of the manual about the bsr, you will understand that from
simple Job output, you can easily construct a bsr that will restore the
whole job or even parts of a job.

Best regards,
Kern
