Hello,

I fired/uninstalled Acronis and now wish to replace it with Bacula.

I plan to schedule both encrypted system (boot sector and system partition) and 
user data backups from Windows bare metal, Linux bare metal, and Linux cloud 
servers, to NAS and cloud (Dropbox) destination storage locations.

If any of my servers become corrupted and unbootable due to a virus, I need a 
recovery environment that is network enabled that runs a Bacula client and is 
capable of restoring my system to the state it was in prior to the system 
backup.

How would I get started in creating such a USB stick? I'm a developer, but I'd 
appreciate some pointers so I'm not reinventing the wheel. I imagine I'd need 
two different keys for Linux vs Windows bare metal servers.

PS. I'm thinking my Dropbox backup would use a "Bacula-backups/serverXYZ" 
subfolder that would naturally synchronize up to the cloud via the native 
Dropbox client. Servers would exclude from local storage all but their own 
backup directory to save space. Restoring from cloud would require API access 
to pull the content to restore down.

Restoring from NAS would be a more typical NAS / SMB mount.

Many thanks,
<Myles>
