I've edited bacula-fd service's property and changed under connection tab, local system account with a user created for bacula-fd, called bacula, that belongs backup operators group. If I try to start the bacula-fd service it won't start and give me back an error. > You are aware that the FD needs acces to all files you want saved, and > that - depending on the windows version you run, the authentication > scheme (local vs. AD) and probablylots of other things LocalSystem or > the Backup account are the best choice to run the FD as? Maybe backup operators group is a better choice instead of local-system user? Under the point of view of security, a dedicated account could be better than a full qualified administrator? > Also, as far as I know, typically the FD does not run as administrator. You are right, it run as local-system. Thank you ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
