I thought when I mentioned the backups were to USB disk and that the VM machine is not configured with USB ports that it would be clear that bacula is running on the HOST server and not the guest VM. Plus I believe I mentioned that bacula runs fine when no VM is running, which I thought would be clear that bacula is not running on a guest VM. > > I would start by running the regression tests.

I will have to read up on it and give it a try. Thanks. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
