I have been under the impression that Bacula as of version 1.34 no longer

get error messages referring to cygwin files:

Why this mention of cygwin?
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.
Thanks for the info.
The current Win32 version of the FD does not need cygwin to run.
OK.
Is the reason why the back-up fails that
bacula-fd.exe contains fracments of cygwin code? Please inform.
No.
What shall I do to overcome this problem so that I get a chance to back-up
my vital data on my windows platforms.
Perhaps someone on the list will help. 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.
That is very possible. I know so little about windows but I'll work on this
possible angle.
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.
Sorry, it was a typo on my part. The version in question is 1.38.4 and not
1.35.4. I believe 1.38.4 is the latest stable version. If not please inform.
