Aha, another gem hidden in the documentation. Unless you specify that Windows backups are written in 'portable' format, the Windows backup API is used which writes data in its own 'special' (for 'special' read 'proprietary'). Bacula doesn't (yet, but it's on the todo) parse this data, just storing it and returning it to the Windows backup API for decoding. This effectively means that you need to restore to a Windows machine, or you need to perform a backup of your ex-machine with the portable option set. See the docs for more information: http://www.bacula.org/rel-manual/Windows_Version_Bacula.html#SECTION000396000000000000000 I doubt you'd be able to run the win32 FD under wine as a way around this, but the wine folks do implement all sorts of esoteric parts of the Windows API so anything is possible, I guess.. -- Russell Howe [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
