bacula looks pretty good, except it can't restore windows without me
first installing windows.  since i have a windows 2000 server that came
installed (no install CDs), either i need to obtain windows 2000 server
install CDs, or i need to first restore the disk from some other medium
in order to do a restore from bacula!

i can't help but wonder if it would work to install windows 2000
workstation, and then do the bacula restore on that.  would i end up
with a working windows 2000 server again when i was done?

sounds temptingly simple, however if i understand correctly, the windows
backup tool will want to write a single huge output file, and offhand i
can't think of a way to have that file written offsite without first
writing it onsite.  i guess i'm hoping bacula will enable me to backup
directly to an offsite linux server.
