In the current versions (up to and including the soon to be released 1.40.0), the Windows Client (Bacula-fd) and the Storage Daemon (Bacula-sd) must be run using the System account. This is how they are configured by the installer. The Director (Bacula-dir) could be configured with a different user; it isn't by the current installer to keep things simple.
The requirement comes from both client and storage being interactive services. You must be running as System for the tray icon to work. I'm not sure exactly what would happen if you did run it as another user but I imagine all sorts of weird subtle problems. In the future I'd like to rewrite the tray icon code so that it works more like the Unix gnome version. Then it would be possible to run the client under any account with the Backup privilege. The storage daemon would just need access to the tape drives, changers, and file volumes. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Arno Lehmann Sent: Friday, October 20, 2006 3:57 AM To: bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [Bacula-users] [Win Restore] Error: "Client lacks a necessary right" Hi, On 10/20/2006 9:03 AM, Jens Classen wrote: > Greetings list! > > After backing up a first Windows client in our new Bacula environment, I > ran into problems I could not solve on my own (yet).

What you need to do, though, is make sure that the FD runs as a user with all necessary access permissions. Depending on the XP flavour you run and your setup - AD or local authorization, policies, permissions of users - that can be a little hard to analyze... verify which account the FD uses. You can see this in the system settings, where you configure the Services (German Windows: Systemsteuerung / Verwaltung / Dienste) or in the task manager. Probably there are also command line tools available to get this information. In an AD configuration I think you should make sure the FD runs as Backup, and the Backup group or user has all the necessary permissions. You can check the file access rights for individual files and directories with cacls.
