That is good to know. I believe I installed the Linux version from the debian repository and I downloaded the Win64 code directly from bacula.org From the looks of things, I have 5.0.1 running on Ubuntu and 5.0.3 on Vista
To find out if this difference might be the cause of my problem, I removed 5.0.3 from Vista and installed 5.0.1, but it made no difference. :-( -- Fight Spam - report it with wxSR http://www.columbinehoney.net/wxSR.shtml ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Xperia(TM) PLAY It's a major breakthrough.
