Hi John,
I did some more tests today.
Windows machine in questions is a Win 2000 server.
Services will use by default the local service user but a different
user can be configured.
It is also possible to keep desktop assignments.
The Windows versions of bacula-dir, bacula-sd and bacula-fd have
several command line switches one of them being '/debug'. I tried this
but it didn't produce any additional output. Maybe this is written to
a different log file? Does anybody have experience with this?
I tried to backup a HDD share without any permission limitations
(readable and writeable by everyone) but even that didn't work.
Because of missing debug output and error messages I don't have any
clue what is going on. Is it a permission problem (which it shouldn't)
or is it a syntax problem.
BTW, is there anything like strace for Windows?
Cheers,
Bernd
