(If I'm kicking down an open door let > me know :-) ) Good question: Yes, there will be a Win32 version of bat at some point in the future. Bacula is a collaborative project, and on several occasions, I have requested regression testers for Win32, today, we have none. *Much* more importantly, I requested testing restore of the current Win32 FD now that support for reparse points is implemented. No one has ever offered any feedback. So that sends me a strong signal that no one really cares enough to help. I spent a huge amount of time during 2.2.0 development fixing Win32 encryption bugs and adding reparse point and Vista support to the Win32 FD. Given the above lack of interest from the community, I have downgraded my Win32 priorities significantly, and instead of implementing bat on Win32, I spent the time ensuring that bat could be built on Linux/Unix platforms that do not yet have Qt4. Fortunately there there are some signs of Win32 interest -- e.g. John Drescher's Win32 work as well as a msvc build patch. At some time later, I will either regain my enthusiasm to work on Win32 again or perhaps there will be a little more Win32 interest from users, which is always contagious for developers. That said, please be aware that there is a significant amount of Win32 code that needs to be rewritten so that we can "legally" support OpenSSL in the Win32 FD. I have given that project (medium to large size) priority over bat. Regards, Kern > > Regards, > Berend Dekens > > P.S. John, do you have the fix for the documentation error?
