Ah, OK. It isn't your English, but the word "dump" confused me. In Bacula terminology I always call it a "backup". Perhaps the error message is just not correctly translated -- that was not one of our worries. If that is the case, then the problem is as the error message states: > >>>> Cannot change permissions of C:/temp/bacula/C/Dokumente und > >>>> Einstellungen/Administrator/StartmenÌ/Programme/Autostart: ERR=No such > >>>> file or directory You need to start with a simpler FileSet to ensure everything is working, then work on figuring out what is wrong with the path. (i.e. do you have a /tmp, rather thant the /temp? Sorry, I am out of ideas, perhaps the list can help more. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
