Greetings ...
Been looking for a nice cross-platform backup system, and I would have to
say that Bacula can suck the data out of my computer systems, if only I
could my feebile mind around it.
Okay, I downloaded the Win32 package version 1.39.28 to test, because it
would easiest for me to test with. Started with the tutorial, but there are
problems with the Win32 package version 1.39.28 ... First, I would like to
recommend that in the Windows Documentation, that the author explain that
the installer should install a working DB of there choice first. Maybe even
put in links for the Win32 packages for the DBs.
Did a default install expect to select a full install and SQLite as the DB.
In the C:\Program Files\Bacula\install.log
Copy to C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Bacula\bacula-
dir.conf
Are you sure (Y/N)?The system cannot find the file specified.
The service name is invalid.
More help is available by typing NET HELPMSG 2185.
After trying to start
C:\Program Files\Bacula\bin\bacula-dir manually, it complains about
bacula_cats.dll can't be found.
Then used my archive program and extracted bacula_cats.dll, found that it
was the link to the DB program. Tried the MySQL and PostGreSQL dll's, but
don't have either ... The last dll
reports ...
27-Nov 20:29 bacula-dir: Warning:
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
27-Nov 20:29 bacula-dir: Warning: WARNING!!!! The Internal Database is NOT
OPERATIONAL!
27-Nov 20:29 bacula-dir: Warning: You should use SQLite, PostgreSQL, or
MySQL
Which tells me two things, first that the internal DB does not work and
should be disable as an install option and the other thing, from the
install.log report, that the bacula_cats.dll for SQLite is not in the Win32
package version 1.39.28.
I'm hoping I might be able to help improve the Win32 package and my
knowledge of Bacula ...
Thanks
