Hi all.  I'm having a problem with a Windows client when I try to run
the system state backup.  If the bacula-fd service is set to run as
LocalSystem, it runs fine.  But, when I change the service to run as
Administrator, it dies right away and doesn't run the backup.  To make
things more interesting, when I manaully run "bacula-fd -d 100 > out"
while logged in as Administrator, the "out" file never gets anything
in it, and the backup runs fine.

Any ideas anyone?

I've never used the Windows daemon, but since nobody else has chimed in I'll 
just throw out a couple things I remember from my Windows sysadmin days...

If bacula-fd's output is all generated to STDERR instead of STDOUT, it would explain why 
the "out" file is empty.  You can capture STDERR as well as STDOUT with 
something like:

    bacula-fd -d 100 > out 2>&1


Have you checked permissions for the Administrator account -- i.e. does it have the "Log in as Service" right?

Have you given the Administrator password in the service config?

Have you checked the event log?

When you say "it dies right away" are you talking about the backup or the daemon? In other words, when you try to start the service, can you verify that it actually appears in the Services MMC as "started"?
