Hello, Maybe the SD crashed or something and there is an old spool file that is in your spool directory that should have been deleted.
Under 1.37, I have "unified" the naming convention of all Bacula temporary files so that it will be easy to know which ones are used for what (the use is always postfixed -- e.g. .spool, .mail, ...) and it will be easier to do spool/working directory cleanup from time to time. This is also an item that remains to be documented for 1.38 On Thursday 25 August 2005 14:28, Kristian Ejvind wrote: > Hi. > > In my small home network I use bacula on a Solaris 9 box to back up three > computers.
