I've now tried bpipe with bacula-2.5.28-b1, and I don't even get the error anymore, though the backup reports 'Backup OK'. I've tried changing my Plugin = "bpipe:..." line so that it has a nonsense command, and there is still no error. The run with the nonsense command backed up as much stuff as the proper command When I revert to my old RunScripts, I can see that a lot more stuff gets backed up than with my bpipe attempts. So it seems as if bpipe isn't working at all. I would like to know whether anybody else has managed to use bpipe successfully. (Later...) I see that one of the SVN regress tests makes a mention of bpipe, so I will give that a go. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by: SourcForge Community SourceForge wants to tell your story. http://p.sf.net/sfu/sf-spreadtheword _______________________________________________ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users
