Re: [Bacula-users] Fwd: bacula client on windows vista

The short answer: bacula actually is doing the right thing here.

The long answer:

"Different filesystem" means that the directory is not at that place in 
the file system, but rather mounted as a Windows join (roughly the 
Windows equivalent of a Linux symbolic link or a mount). There are three 
ways to get around it, but only one of them really is correct in this case.

You could set "onefs=no". Wrong solution, though.
You could add each of these directories explicitly to your file set. 
Also the wrong solution, though.

Or you can ignore this message altogether. That is the correct solution. 
These directories *should not* get backed up. The data in these 
directories is actually somewhere else, and Windows just created these 
joins for backwards compatibility. Otherwise, many old applications 
would break.

For instance, in the list of errors below, you see that 
"C:\Users\Default User" shows up. That is what the directory would have 
been called in XP - in Vista, it simply points to C:\Users\Default 
(which does not show up in the list below, although some of Default's 
subdirectories do).

If you backed up these directories anyway, one of two things would 
happen. Either, the files in these directories would get backed up 
twice, bloating your backup and making restores difficult. Or you could 
get an infinite loop, and bacula may error out altogether when the path 
gets too long. This happens if there is a circular join, where one of 
the joins points back to a parent directory. For instance, on a Windows 
server, the Active Directory structure in the SYSVOL directory is 
organized that way, and setting onefs=no would cause bacula to error out.
