I found the reason for that error in the source code: in file dev.c at line 385 bacula tries to rewind the fifo....
naturally this won't work. When changing this line to something like "if( 1 == 2)" bacula backsup to the fifo. But now I face the next problem. Restore by the fifo device doesn't work. I can restore when I use a file device. Therefore I backup some files through a fifo and pipe the data to a file. When I now restore the backup by pointing a file device to that backup file I can restore. But I couldn't manage restoring through a fifo. So I think nobody is actually using this feature of bacula? Or is there any example implementation showing how to backup and restore via fifo? Andreas ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
