I've been using a somewhat popular and easy of use backup software on
the source files for my programming. I know I should be using a Version
control systems (VCS) but that would require me learning about it ; the
closest I came to use it if learning how to create a patch, not
praiseworthy.
I've looked at List of backup software - Wikipedia, the free
encyclopedia <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_backup_software> and
Bacula seemed a very good choice. As I'm running Windows 7, 64 bit
seemed the best choice so I downloaded and ran bacula-win64-5.2.10.exe
<http://sourceforge.net/projects/bacula/files/Win32_64/5.2.10/bacula-win64-5.2.10.exe/download>.
During the installation, it got the the Direction option asking for
Name, Password & Address so I entered them and for the adress, lacking a
tooltip/infotip, I entered my email.
Now having a folder added to my start menu along with content and
sub-folders, I tried a few of them. The most promising shortcut was
/Bacula > Bat/ but it gave me an error right away, crashing the program.
I did a quick search and figured I needed to replace the email address
for a local IP so I changed it (from email address) in C:\Program
Files\Bacula\bconsole.conf and C:\Program Files\Bacula\bin32\bat.conf.
Afterward clicking on the Bat shortcut did last some seconds but
eventually warned (in a popup window)
bat: ABORTING due to error in console/console.cpp:157 Failed to
connect to MY_ENTERED_NAME for populateLists.
displaying a crash alert the closing the window.
I'd really like to know the quickest way to install then test Bacula
backup software. A hint on to fix this would be nice but otherwise I'll
uninstall Bacula first.
Thank you kindly,
DynV
