No, that is not what i mean. We do full system backups with VSS enabled
and restore the whole system from a linux rescue cd with a static bacula
client. In the rescue-environment we prepare the target disks (partions
and ntfs-format), then we restore the system (only partition c), make
the system bootable trough a original windows install cd and start the
restored maschine. Then we restore the rest of the system (any other
partition) with the original installed bacula-fd.

That has worked fine at our tests.

Ok, it is not truly implemented "in" bacula, but you will need a rescue
cd - in any case.

Sebastian
