I'm confused - you mean you can't just download the files from: http://sourceforge.net/projects/bacula/files/Win32_64/5.2.10/? But anyway the point would be to work with an existing client so you don't have to reinvent the wheel and then maintain it. -- Les Mikesell lesmikes...@gmail.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Everyone hates slow websites.
