I can gain access to the director but I cannot start the service. I don't see any errors when I try to start that service other than what I've posted unless they are being printed somewhere else?

When you executed bacula-fd.exe(with no command line params) in a command line window did it work then and there were no errors in the command window? What does the director have to do with that? Are you running the director under this machine as well? My other thoughts is this can be a permissions problem. I mean that the account that bacula-fd defaults to running in is the local system account. You might want to get into the service manager and change that (I believe there is a box to start the service as a different user) to the administrator or a backup operator so that bacula has access to all the files on the local computer.

Yes, there are no errors on the XP client. I'm only talking about the service, in the services for XP. The bacula service was installed by bacula when I installed the client. > What does the director have to do with that? Are you running the director > under this machine as well? I'm new to bacula, have not read everything in order yet so don't know all of the correct terms. I mean that I have console access to the bacula server from the XP console. I didn't install the bacula server on the XP machine because my bacula server installation is on Linux, I was just curious about the win32 version of the client. What is the win32 service for then? > My other thoughts is this can be a permissions problem.

For some reason, it just started now. I didn't have to change anything, it just started. I'll post a reply to this if I can figure out why because right now, I don't know.

The bacula-fd application (which is the win32 client) will run from the command line or as a service automatically. Most people want it to run automatically and stay running when the user loggs out so running it as service is the best option. > My other thoughts is this can be a permissions problem.

Basically the service would not start until running bacula-fd from the command line. John - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc. Still grepping through log files to find problems? Stop.

One needs to make sure that the command line conf files are set up correctly, that you can gain access to the server and that will allow the service to run. Thanks for your help, another one down :).
