I have asked Bacula Systems to give the Enterprise version to individual Bacula community users. I will know by the end of the year. That would probably resolve the problem. I still do not have the time to maintain two separate code bases for Windows. However, if I cannot get permission to give the Enterprise version free to individual users (this excludes, enterprises, ...) then I will create a separate community version of Windows (one or the other will be available by 1Q15). In the mean time, if you are a Bacula contributor, you can get the Windows binaries free, and if not, the price is ridiculously low considering all the work that goes into making them.
