Try an older fd on Windows (replacing the .exe file whilst the service is stopped should be sufficient - I don't think the configuration format has changed much). Stop the bacula service, take a copy of the current bacula-fd.exe program and extract a 1.36.2 (or .3) bacula-fd.exe from the archive which presumably is up on sourceforge somewhere and then start the bacula service. See if you can restore then. I would expect your backups to be restorable, but well, you never know until you try :) -- Russell Howe [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
