+
+--WARNING-- 
+
+   -- BY ITSELF THIS SCRIPT WILL DO YOU NO GOOD, YOU MUST HAVE BACULA
+      INSTALLED ON THE MACHINES YOU WANT TO BACK UP, 
+      AND BE SURE THAT YOUR BACKUP JOBS INCLUDE ALL MOUNTED DISKS
+
+
+   -- IN THIS CURRENT VERSION, THE FILE DAEMON IS A 3.0.3, IT SHOULD BE 
+      COMPATIBLE WITH ALL DIRECTORS (FROM 2.0.4 ON) BUT FURTHER TESTING IS NEEDED
+
+   -- THE FILE DAEMON DOESN'T SUPPORT SSL (NO ENCRYPTION)
+
+
+   -- THE SCRIPT HAS BEEN TESTED WITH LVM WITH ONLY ONE LVM VOLUME
+      IF YOU HAVE MORE THAN ONE LVM VOLUME, YOU MIGHT FIND A BUG
+
+   -- THE SCRIPT WILL SCAN FOR SOFT RAID VOLUMES, NOT HARDWARE RAIDS
+
+   -- THE ADDRESS OF THE FILE DAEMON AND STORAGE DAEMON MUST BE 
+       THE IP ADDRESS AND NOT THE HOSTNAME IN THE BACULA-DIR.CONF
+       OF THE MACHINE CONTAINING THE DIRECTOR
+ 
+--YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED, SO LET'S CONTINUE---
+
+
+--- How to use this key
+
+First you want to boot on your system and mount all drives that
+you want to be able to restore
+
+be sure to have DIALOG OR XDIALOG installed on your system
+
+BE CAREFUL, as of now, this key will pick up all drives, but will
+create empty scripts if drives are not mounted
+
+the supported filesystems are
+
+--ext2
+--ext3
+--fat
+--ntfs (needs some testing)
+--jfs
+--xfs
+--reiserfs
+
+
+---------------------SAVING YOUR COMPUTER'S HARDWARE CONFIG-----------------       
+
+-Mount all your drives, plug in the usb stick, navigate to the
+ bs-rescue partition (normally mounted on /media/bs-rescue or
+ /mnt/bs-rescue)
+
+-navigate to the bacula-rescue directory
+
+-With root permission, execute the start_rescue script
+
+-choose backup
+
+-by default the script will save your data in clients/$hostname
+ (it will prompt you to enter a different name if you wish)
+
+
+-You must have a bacula-fd.conf file somewhere, the script will
+ look for it in /etc/bacula and will prompt you to enter the path
+ if it is not found there
+
+-The script will prompt you for a bconsole.conf file, it is not
+ necessary , but if you don't provide it, you will have to
+ operate bacula from a different machine at the time of restore
+
+
+-- et voilà.....  you have backed up the structure of your
+   machine (not the data, bacula is used for that)
+
