I've now tried bpipe with bacula-2.5.28-b1, and I don't even get the error
anymore, though the backup reports 'Backup OK'. I've tried changing my
Plugin = "bpipe:..." line so that it has a nonsense command, and there is
still no error.
The run with the nonsense command backed up as much stuff as the proper
command When I revert to my old RunScripts, I can see that a lot more stuff
gets backed up than with my bpipe attempts. So it seems as if bpipe isn't
working at all.
I would like to know whether anybody else has managed to use bpipe
successfully.
(Later...) I see that one of the SVN regress tests makes a mention of bpipe,
so I will give that a go.
