Hi All,
I am successfully backing up a rather large deployment of Linux as well as
Windows (2003 / 2008) systems. All the Windows machines are being backed up
using VSS, and everything is running good.
>From what I can see under the backups, VSS is successfully being used,
backing up files (open or closed), MSDE, IIS, and various other things -
just like I would like to expect. Please correct me if this is incorrect
and I am missing the point...

What I would like to know however, is how to restore these VSS snapshots?
For example, how can I instruct bacula to restore IIS and MSDE, or only the
Event Log which was backed up through VSS, but not restore any physical
files and/or the entire system?
Am I understanding this correct, doing something incorrectly, missing out
somewhere?
Thank you kindly for your time and responces.
