Yes, that is quite possible. The problem is that it requires someone to look into all the little details. I may be able to get to it, but if any of the several Windows programmers that are currently working on Win32 (separating the tray monitor, doing regression, ...) would like to look at this, it would help me a lot. There is also a bug report open on installing the SD on Win32, apparently, it puts a few files in unnecessary places and does not remove them -- nothing dramatic, but something to be cleaned up. > > I started a first backup of my vista workstation, and up til now (the > first few hundred MB) things work.

If you let it do all the indexing and everything (I think it indexes into MSSQL, but I am just guessing), on my machine, it went up to 60GB. As far as I can tell, they have a *lot* of software loaded, it is just not activated -- e.g. Microsoft Office, ... In addition, I saw some really *monster* movie files when I did my disk backup (before attempting a Linux installation -- just now). A couple of points: one, I think you pledged most of your fortune, and you also allow them to take anything they want from your machine whenever they want, and go into your machine when they want to check all the software on it -- at least that is how I read the license agreement. Oh, in addition, the license is locked to a single machine. I think Microsoft may have shot themselves in the foot on this. One thing is sure -- if I didn't need Vista for Bacula development, I certainly would not have it. Concerning Bacula, I expect that the backup will go well, but I have not yet tried a restore with the new daemon, so please use care. I suspect that if you blow away your Vista installation, you will have to give Microsoft a lot to get a new activation key. > > Arno > > 26.06.2007 12:18,, Kern Sibbald wrote:: > > Hello, > > > > I think the version of the Bacula Win32 binaries that I will release in a few > > hours (2.1.22) handle reparse points correctly.
