Hello,
can anyboby please confirm / correcxt the folloing assumptions:
Szenario: Version: 1.38.11 (28 June 2006),
FD running on a x86_64 system (and compiled for 64 bit)
DIR running on a 386 system (32 bit)
Tested: Backup and restore on the x86_64 work fine
Now, after a hardware crash, I tried to restore a backup written by
the 64 bit FD on a 32 bit system. This resulted in serious chaos:
- lots of error messages like these:
sisyphus-fd: -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 94600 2006-12-29 10:57:49

...
- the restored files often contained wrong data; it looks as if the
data were correct, but did belong to other file names
Is it correct to assume that there is a general incompatibility of 32
and 64 bit systems in that old version of Bacula?
I've seen comments ("The database Id records should be 32/64 bit
independent now.") about new features in 1.40.0, so can I assume that
this problem has been fixed for the 2.x releases?
Thanks in advance.
Best regards,
Wolfgang Denk
