Hi,
i'm trying to move our backup jobs from Windows based BackupExec to
Bacula, but right now I still have to backup a Windows fileserver. I
installed version 1.38.4 Bacula Windows client on a Win2K domain
controller. My problem is that things only work if the files to backup are
readable for the user, the bacula client service is logged on with. For
all other files, I get 'ERR=Access is denied'.
Bacula documentation tells me that the Windows backup-API is used, which
should solve this problem, but it doesn't. If I add the user which runs
the bacula service to the Backup Operators group, this hasn't any effect
at all. Using Local System Account for the Service is even worse, because
only files which are readable for everyone are backed up with this
configuration.
Some postings here on the list told me that I should install the service
as Administrator:
"Perhaps you were not Administrator when you installed Bacula, and if you
are
then Bacula should run under User Name SYSTEM (and not LocalSystem)."
I did that as it is the only way to install anything on a domain
controller, but the services logon-data is always configured for
LocalSystem. A tool like Process Explorer tells me, that the service is
running as NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM. A User SYSTEM doesn't exist at all, there
is only an unconfigurable group with this name, which of course can't be
chosen as a service logon. I added this group to "Back up files and
directories" in the Domain Controller Security Policy, but that didn't
change anything. Which didn't really surprise me, because the BackupExec
service is configured the same way and it is possible to backup all files
without this setting.
Does anybody have experiences with problems like this?
We had the same problems with a Win2k domain controler/ file server using
1.36.3. We fixed this by upgrading this machine to Win 2.003k ;-)
Now everything runs relatively smooth and VSS enabled (1.38.4), no
more 'ERR=Access is denied', no more "file is being used by another process"
errors, but still errors with long paths ( > 256).
