Hello,

I have been under the impression that Bacula as of version 1.34 no longer uses cygwin. However, bacula-fd.exe version 1.35.4 contains lots of cygwin references and when I try to make a back-up of files from windows 2000 I get error messages
referring to cygwin files:

14-Mar 23:55 epo-dir: No prior Full backup Job record found.
14-Mar 23:55 epo-dir: No prior or suitable Full backup found. Doing FULL backup. 14-Mar 23:55 epo-dir: Start Backup JobId 39, Job=epowork.2006-03-14_23.55.36 14-Mar 23:57 epowork-fd: epowork.2006-03-14_23.55.36 Warning: c:\cygwin\home\kern\bacula\k\src\win32\lib\../../lib/bnet.c:853

Well, that's just a path name and as such doesn't mean there are any references to cygwin libraries in the FD executable.

Could not connect to Storage daemo

Why this mention of cygwin? Is the reason why the back-up fails that
bacula-fd.exe contains fracments of cygwin code? Please inform.

I doubt that. In fact I do use the windows FD 1.38.4 on several clients and none of them ever had any cygwin stuff installed, and I'm backing up these machines for much more than a year now.

What shall I do to overcome this problem so that I get a chance to back-up my
vital data on my windows platforms.

I'd assume a configuration problem unless I see reasons to assume a bug. You should make sure that the windows machines can contact the SD as this is what's not working.

Windows' firewall settings and any firewall in between the FD and SD might be involved here, and of course the whole name resolution stuff. You can try with telnet, from a windows shell, to contact the SD port at the address you configured in the storage section of the bacula-dir.conf file. If this doesn't work you should review your name resolution setup and your firewalls.
