Doing this portably is actually a rather difficult problem because there
are so many different partitioning schemes and partition table formats
out there. It's a mess.
Clean bare-metal restore has been a feature that's been worked on since
almost the earliest days of Bacula, and there still isn't a clean single
solution, precisely *because* it's a complex problem.
