This is my client configurations, and in the Plugin directory I have
exchange-fd.dll.
FileDaemon { # this is me
Name = sbs-fd
FDport = 9102 # where we listen for the director
WorkingDirectory = "C:/Program Files/Bacula/working"
Pid Directory = "C:/Program Files/Bacula/working"
Plugin Directory = "C:/Program Files/Bacula/plugins"
Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 10
}
My fileSet is the one you suggested:
FileSet {
Name = "Exchange"
Include {
Options {
signature = MD5
compression = GZIP9
IgnoreCase = yes
}
Plugin = "exchange:@EXCHANGE/Microsoft Information Store"
}
}
The error I am getting is the following:
bacula-dir Start Backup JobId 59, Job=Backup_Exchange.2011-05-31_10.40.23_29
Using Device "FileStorage"
sbs-fd Warning: VSS was not initialized properly. VSS support is disabled.
ERR=An attempt was made to reference a token that does not exist.
Fatal error: /home/kern/bacula/k/bacula/src/filed/fd_plugins.c:223 Command

loaded.
bacula-sd Volume "HERE" previously written, moving to end of data. Ready to
append to end of Volume "HERE" size=12959845363
bacula-dir
I have taken note about the problem with the restore situation, but any help to
sort this would be great.
