[Bacula-users] Windows FD and Backup API

[Christoph . Teuber]

Hello,

as reported here some time ago, I have problem with the bacula FD in a Win2K domain controller. I get "Access is denied" errors for files, which are not accessible to the user running the FD-process. As bacula is using the windows backup API, this should work anyway.

Now, I created virtual machines for testing purposes and detected, that there is no difference between domain controllers and other windows installation, as I said before. It just happened that I didn't made the testing situation as complicated as it is on the domain controller. Everything works fine, even on a domain controller, if the unaccessible file lies in an accessible directory. Thats the only case I tested up to now. But access denied errors occur, if you have this situation:

System: Out of the Box Win2K server installation (SP4)

Users:
Administrator
test

Directory structure:

folder1                                 (Accessible for everyone)
        - file1                         (accessible only for test)        
              - subfolder1                (accessible only for test)
                - subfile1        (accessible only for test)


In this case, file1 ist backed up correctly as well as subfolder1. An error occurs for subfile1. Accessible only for test means, that user test is the owner of that filesystem object an the only entry in the ACL as well.

This seams to be a bug to me rather than a configuration issue, or does anybody have any idea?

Thanks in advance
Christoph
