Hi Birgit, By looking into the doc, I found out that Bareos does not support tape backup on Windows, so I uninstalled it.
FYI, postgres was running. No error message other than a time out when trying to connect to the Bareos WB UI. If you have a suggestion for a good free tape backup on Windows, let me know. Thanks.
