Hello Steven, You can try the 5.x binaries and they will probably work, but there have been *many* improvements since then. The community distribution no longer contains the Windows source code, so the only way to build it yourself is to get a very old one 5.2.13 (I think) and try to build it. The instructions are in the README, but it is not simple.
On the other hand, you can purchase at a very minimum the Bacula Enterprise Windows binaries built for the community version -- the latest version is 7.4.4. The binaries are on the bacula.org website, but only for personal use, all non-personal use (any corporation, government, school, ... can purchase the binaries from: https://www.baculasystems.com/windows-binaries-for-bacula-community-users Best regards, Kern On 03/30/2017 05:10 PM, Steven Hammond wrote: > We are currently using Bacula 5.
