I was hoping to avoid a script on the client side; I want to keep the client-side configuration to a minimum. Ideally, I'd like to use a Group Policy or startup script to push out the FD, so that new clients would get added automatically. On the server side, I already have a script that automatically generates the configuration for a new client. > As for ntbackup not working, if calling it from a batch file (which > tends to eliminate those pesky cross-platform escaping issues) does not > fix it, check that user account the bacula-fd service is running under > has the right privileges (I seem to remember having to fix this in the > past). > Do you by any chance know what privileges are necessary? The service currently runs under the local system account.
Update: I think I found the cause. After I added the logging option /l:f, the system state backup is suddenly running without a problem. No idea why that would make a difference. -- Kevin Keane Owner The NetTech Turn your NetWORRY into a NetWORK!
