Just a note here because there seems to be a bit of confusion. On Win32
machines, Bacula does not use or create the "bacula" account or userid. The
client must be installed while directly logged into the machine with account
Adminstrator. If you attempt to install it using some Windows terminal
remote login or are not logged in as Administrator (or possibly the Domain
adminstrator, or whatever Microsoft calls it), you are likely to have
problems.
When installed correctly by the system Administrator, Bacula will run under
the User name "SYSTEM" and will have access to all files on your system. If
Bacula is not running as SYSTEM, as shown by the task manager, you have not
installed it correctly.
This is documented in the manual.
