As the message says, this is not an error, but a warning. Bacula doesn't really understand FIFOs. The question here is not the warning, but did Bacula actually deliver the contents of the saved file to your program? If so, it worked. If not, there is some problem, which does not suprise me because I don't have a regression script for testing FIFOs, and to the best of my knowledge no one is using this (other than you and perhaps one other person) ... > > Any ideas?
