Drescher Thankfully, neither do I, in regards to Windows on the network :) unfortunately, there are a couple machines I do have to back up, though. In regards to the symbolic links, yes, Windows has the traditional "Application Data" folder symbolic link, as an example, however I specifically exclude these in my exclude statement - they're harmless either way, because if they're included, all bacula does is complain about the symbolic link. The mystery behind the AppData hidden folder itself is a different beast altogether though, but I suspect the bacula director upgrade (with better Windows 2008 x64 VSS support) might do the trick, we'll see. -- Shawn Qureshi Artemide, Inc.
