Thanks for that information, that's excellent news! Back in the 3.x days, I had tried bacula with IPv6 and had two problems. Do you by any chance know if these two things have been resolved? I can't test it again because I had to remove IPv6 from my test network.
The two problems I had: - The default setting for bacula was wrong. It would only listen on IPv4 but not IPv6 unless you explicitly added a DIRAddresses/FDAddresses/SDAddresses section to the respective config files. - The Windows FD could not be configured to listen on IPv6 at all. Both issues caused problems if you specified clients or SDs by DNS name rather than IP, and there was an AAAA record in DNS. Bacula would use the AAAA record and try to connect over IPv6, but that connection timed out and the backup failed. For Linux boxes, the workaround was to explicitly add the IPv6 addresses to the configuration files. For the Windows machines, I had to create a second DNS name for the same machine that only had an A record but not an AAAA record.

I have been using IPv6 on my home systems (work does not have IPv6 yet) and it's actually been faster then IPv4 to the same systems. -- Craig Van Tassle HUBzero.org System Administrator YONG 1006 Desk Phone : (765)496-6413 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ EditLive Enterprise is the world's most technically advanced content authoring tool.
