I agree with you, a terminal MUA can work just fine, as it did for me eight years ago. The thread I was so unclearly referring to was the thread which spawned the current thread "Re: [Bacula-users] one system won't back up -- director crashes!". I think, it's all so confusing now. I had issues with the Windows client earlier which were solved by rolling the client version back from 1.38.10 to 1.38.6. When I configure my next set of bacula-fds I'll know if I still have the same issue. They are all five Windows servers. DAve -- Three years now I've asked Google why they don't have a logo change for Memorial Day. Why do they choose to do logos for other non-international holidays, but nothing for Veterans? Maybe they forgot who made that choice possible. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
