If you don't like it, you can get third-party tools. Think of Windows Backup (or NTBackup) as the backup equivalent of Notepad. In my eyes this boils down to a powergrab where functionality is reduced in order to displace third parties. Like others I want a cross platform, flexible solution, but more importantly there are design, cost and security implications. For a registry backup with ntbackup there is no change needed, using wbadmin requires an infrastructure change: either adding localized storage (for keeping one full + incrementals), inefficiently expanding storage on the Bacula end (for cycling full backups) or giving machines access to the Bacula back end. These have cost, (network) design and security implications, any one of which will prohibit using wbadmin here. -- ___ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users

It's not open source of course but was free to download/use, last I heard. There are probably other solutions, this was implemented by a Windows oriented colleague so I don't know that much about it. It basically uses a DHCP server and PXE for an initial loader which then downloads pre-prepared images that can be scripted for various installations (so you might have a base W2K3 install which asks whether you want to make it a db or webserver). -- ___ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users

Foo, could you explain wich product is ADS?? is open source?

I would have said that ADS was Active Directory Services :) James -- ___ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users

Thanks for the fix, but even with that: wbadmin START BACKUP -backupTarget:D: -systemState -exclude:C:,D: -include:d:\temp.txt .. The backup storage location is invalid. You cannot use a volume that is included in the backup as a storage location.

Can you simply forget about wbadmin and have Bacula-fd back up live registry hives (because it should be VSS aware right?) - and restore them when needed? -- ___ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users
