You should have a serious conversation with your customer. If anything on that machine breaks, you'll be completely out of luck. Do you have any tested procedure to reinstall the Windows 2000 with required service-packs, hotfixes and drivers? Any spare parts for that system? If it is critical enough for a backup, it is probably critical enough to be able to fix it if it breaks.

Just my 0.02 $ tough...

I tried down to version 12 (olest on the site) and got errors.
Bareos 12 is from sometime in 2012. Windows 2000 extended support ended in July 2010, so there's a two year gap between the EoL for Windows 2000 and the advent of Bareos itself. Your best chance is probably the XP-Build of 14.2. If anything works on Windows 2000, then it is this. Also, it should still speak with a recent Bareos Director - completely unencrypted though.

Using the normal Windows FD (i.e. the "postvista" build) will not work correctly on systems prior to Windows Vista, as there were some major changes in the system's backup APIs.

Hope that helps!

Best Regards,
Andreas
