This is because I build the Win32 version of the FD in a cygwin environment so that I can script it, and because Microsoft is the only platform I know of where they have defined __FILE__ to be the full path and filename rather than just the filename. As a consequence, in error messages that include the filename and line where the error occurred, you get too much information -- this confuses users and bloats the binary. The current Win32 version of the FD does not need cygwin to run. > Is the reason why the back-up fails that > bacula-fd.exe contains fracments of cygwin code? Please inform.

I believe that the resolution of this problem is mentioned in the Win32 chapter of the manual, and most likely in the FAQ as well. The problem is most likely that epohost is not defined on your windows machine. By the way, I believe that version 1.35.4 was a BETA version, and it is now very old so I would not recommend using it.
