Hello, I have been working on the next version of the Windows binaries, and I would like two people to help me testing it. One person running 5.2.x and one person running 7.0.x. These are the Bacula Enterprise Windows binaries (the *very* latest source code) that I have (I hope) tweaked to be compatible with the community DIR and SD. These binaries are not yet heavily tested so need to be used in production with caution.
If you help me testing them, you will have the right to the final version that will be released (of course at no charge). You must be the first to apply and you will have to have the time to do some real testing on several different versions until it is finally released. If you don't have enough time, please do not "apply". By the way, in discussing the Windows binaries with Bacula Systems, they have given me permission to give them away to my friends. First, I considered that fantastic, then I had a problem deciding who my friends are -- there are many, many friends out there. Some vocal, others just there happily (I hope) using Bacula. In the light of the Bareos affair, I will a longer blog about the quality of being a friend and how important it is. But in the short run, I really have a problem discerning who should be classified as a friend, because my own inclination would be to make a very broad definition -- perhaps too broad for Bacula Systems. In the end, I decided that I will apply the Bacula Systems offer by for the purpose of giving away the Enterprise Windows binaries to all those people who have contributed to the Bacula project as that is something that I can more easily (but not without a bit of subjectivity) define. This means that everyone who has contributed to the Bacula project (I will define that a bit later) at some point in the near future will be able to download the next version of the Enterprise Windows binaries, which I am working on now. Furthermore, if you are not a contributor and you have previously purchased a Windows binary, the upgrade to the new version will be at half price.
