If you go to www.bacula.org -> Downloads -> Download Center you will find where you can download the Windows binaries for 7.2.0 or 7.4.0 for personal use free of charge. However, if you are a hosting company, you should go to Bacula Systems and purchase the binaries. I prefer to consider the modest fee a donation for more open source features for those who really can afford to make a donation, but the real reason is that it is simply to compensate Bacula Systems for the work they pay to be done (writing code, building the package, making it available). No it is not a Windows issue. I am not 100% sure that they currently have the 7.4.0 binaries, but the 7.2.0 binaries *should* work with a 7.4.0 community version. If you *really* need a non-personal use license for the 7.4.0 binaries, please contact me directly at k...@sibbald.com. However, I will be off-line for a couple of days while travelling. Thanks for asking about the license :-) Best regards, Kern > > Thanks, > ~r > > On 1/21/2016 7:49 AM, Randy Katz wrote: >> Thanks Kern for the quick response, I'll get around to running >> my update script soon, again thanks! >> >> On 1/19/2016 11:39 PM, Kern Sibbald wrote: >>> There is generally no reason to upgrade the FDs, but at some point >>> certain FD dependent features may not be available so it is advisable >>> to upgrade them when you can. >>> >>> Best regards, >>> Kern >> ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ >> Site24x7 APM Insight: Get Deep Visibility into Application Performance >> APM + Mobile APM + RUM: Monitor 3 App instances at just $35/Month >> Monitor end-to-end web transactions and take corrective actions now >> Troubleshoot faster and improve end-user experience.
