Assuming you have installed it under "%programfiles%\bacula", do this (supposedly you will need to do this using an administrative account): 1) Run cmd.exe 2) cd "%programfiles%\bacula" 3) Run: bacula-fd.exe -c "%programfiles%\bacula\bacula-fd.conf" -t This should check your config file (specified via "-c"; you have to specify it explicitly because otherwise Bacula tends to look for it somewhere under your current user's %appdata%). If Bacula reports any errors, fix them. If it still doesn't work after fixing any errors detected, 4) Run: bacula-fd.exe -c "%programfiles%\bacula\bacula-fd.conf" -d 100 Which will create a trace file (called "whatever.trace" in the bacula's installation directory with "whatever" being the name of this FD instance read from the configuration file). Look at that file to see what happens when bacula-fd starts up. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ WhatsUp Gold - Download Free Network Management Software The most intuitive, comprehensive, and cost-effective network management toolset available today.
