Hello Kern

About Windows Storage I've made some tests but it looks doesn't work,if I can connect I always receive the error:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

22-Jun 02:48 bacula-dir JobId 0: Fatal error: authenticate.c:169 Older Storage daemon at "192.168.1.9:9103" incompatible with this Director.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

And I'm using bacula 7.4.0 (bacula-dir Version: 7.4.0 (16 January 2016) x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu debian 8.3)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You have messages.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

And if I run the backup it looks after the error occurs, bacula-sd (on windows side) is finished unexpected, is necessary to reboot the service.

A guy in Brazil asked about it, so I've tried to help him. 

This is the default behaviour of Windows Binaries for Community (sd in this case)

Or how the binaries are from Bacula Enterprise, this feature (bacula-sd) is incompatible?

Hello,

Yes, I agree with what you say Gary that running a Director on Windows
makes me nervous.  One of the problems is that it also requires MySQL or
PostgreSQL, unless you run it over the network to a Linux machine, and
then why not just run the Director on Linux, which is what we currently
support.

It is little known, because I didn't want to make a big deal of it, that
the Windows Storage daemon for disk backup only is also available in the
current Bacula Windows binaries.  It is part of the Windows FD
installer.  I do not really recommend it, but in some instances of doing
backup in a DMZ, it can be very useful for LAN free backup, especially
if you can connect the SD to a big SCSI disk array.

I am planning to release the Windows Director in the future (a year or
two), but only after sufficient testing, and for the moment myself and
the other developers are working on some important new features.

Best regards,
Kern
