[Bacula-users] BartPE plugin

[James Harper]

The docs (dev & rel) state:

"
A new tool is provided in the form of a bacula plugin for the BartPE
rescue CD. BartPE is a self-contained WindowsXP boot CD which you can
make using the PeBuilder tools available at http://www.nu2.nu/pebuilder/
and a valid Windows XP SP1 CDROM. The plugin is provided as a zip
archive. Unzip the file and copy the bacula directory into the plugin
directory of your BartPE installation. Edit the configuration files to
suit your installation and build your CD according to the instructions
at Bart's site. This will permit you to boot from the cd, configure and
start networking, start the bacula file client and access your director
with the console program. The programs menu on the booted CD contains
entries to install the file client service, start the file client
service, and start the WX-Console. You can also open a command line
window and CD Programs\Bacula and run the command line console bconsole.
"

But doesn't tell me where to download the plugin. It doesn't appear to
be in the win32 bacula distributable, the bacula sourceforge downloads,
or the list of plugins on the bartpe site.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Does this work?

http://dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/bacula/winbacula-bartpe-1.36.1.zip

I added the latest binaries and added the MS Visual C runtime library to
the .inf file.

Basically the plug-in is copying binaries to plug-in directory along with
.inf file, and enabling bacula plug-in BartPE before creating ISO image.

I tried a simple restore using BartPE and it appeared to work fine. I
have not tried a complete bare metal restore.

Don't worry, I think I've figured it out. Sorry for the noise :)

I already did that under 1.38.9 and it works just fine, but thanks
anyway. The list has been a bit funny lately so you might not have seen
my followup message.

I've done that with the exception of installing the boot sector, and it
appears to work as described.
