This is true, but I stopped updating the Community Windows source as of 5.2.10, then in the 7.0.0 tree, I removed the whole Win32 directory since it is so out of date, and the old 5.2.9 (or 5.2.10? I forget which one) is still available. > > > The binaries are no longer supplied by the community because the community stopped building them. > > That’s why Bacula Systems stepped up and starting providing binaries. Very true. The Bacula Enterprise Windows binaries are for sale but at a very low price. If you are a Bacula contributor (name in AUTHORS file) you get them free by asking. I am hoping to have them free by the end of the year for all "individual" users.
