Bacula runs as SYSTEM not local system. > If you try to backup some-kind of files created from active directory > you are in trouble. I have never heard of this before and no one, to the best of my knowledge, has reported it. In any case, if it is true, then it needs to be reported and documented, with possibly a workaround, which I imagine is simply a matter of the admin giving the appropriate permissions if they want the files backed up. > Letting the user choose which user bacula belongs too, it is a good idea > for me, even easier if this can be choosen at installation time. > Also, you can allow user to backup only the files that a user that > bacula-fd is running with, can read. As I said above, changing the user under which the FD is installed is not something we are going to support.

We do not support any other options. This is not a question of security, but what is required by the system. The same applies on Win32 to the FD. If you want to run it a different way, fine, but you are on your own. Perhaps you are confusing the FD with the DIR and the SD, which potentially can be run under different accounts -- however, that is a different question, and it needs to be answered by Robert, who maintains those components (DIR and SD). > ...
