I'm new to bacula so please bear with me.
I've installed the 32 bit bacula on x64 windows (because it's the server).
First thing I had to do was run make-tables.cmd in order to get the director
service to start. Then without modifying the conf files at all, I get this

I'm sure it's not uncommon for a workstation to have user-defined folders
that simply don't need to be backed up. Is there a way that those folders
can be added to the file service's conf file as exclusions? Forcing the
server to keep track of these folders isn't ideal when they are arbitrary

Is it possible to suppress warnings that relate to drives that don't exist

Examples (which occur for every drive letter from H-Z on my system)...

I've got the 64 bit client installed (3.0.1) and it is loading the exchange
plugin (as verified by looking at the loaded dll's with Process Monitor),
but I think the syntax for the FileSet's Plugin line must be different for
Exchange 2007 than for Exchange 2003 (I've only seen an example for 2003).

I see that server support has been pulled from the installer. I have 3.0.1

I appreciate all the responses so far, but switching to linux is not
currently a consideration.
Again, are the director and storage windows 5.0.3 binaries inherently less

Thanks guys. Makes sense! I'll add it to the fileset then.

You need to specify the location of your conf file with the -c flag when you

Can you telnet to it on the fd port? I would first try that on the client
system, and assuming it makes a connection, try it again from the director
system. If it fails to connect from that system then you've got some sort of
firewall issue.

I currently have 3 clients doing a full backup (simultaneously). According
to "status client" one is getting 300kb/s (this one is my director and
storage server machine), one is getting 225kb/s, and one is getting 50kb/s.

I'm currently tuning my exclude rules and one of the things I want to do is
make sure I'm not backing up any massive files that don't need to be backed
up. Is there any way to get bacula to list file sizes along with the file
