Hi Bill,
thank you for your reply.
I know that if install the windows client using default options, it
will run as a service using the "system" user.
Since bacula-fd is running using the "system" user, it will be able
to access every file on the pc, rigth?
I need to limit the bacula-fd to access to just a few files ( the
ones I need to backup). The thing is, the pc user (AAA in my previous
email) have personal information on it and he doesn't want bacula to
able to access it.
So I thought of running bacula-fd as a BBB user having permissions
to access only files I need to backup. That way, bacula-fd doesnt have
access to all files on the system, but just the ones I need to backup.
This should work just fine.
But, having bacula-fd running as BBB user, it wont have permissions
to put the icon tray on the AAA systemTray when he is logged in.
I could solve this problem if bacula had a "bacula-monitor" for
windows, which it does not.
So, i don't really know how to solve this :(
Once again, thanks
Jaime Ventura
