Any time you change any of the .conf files do the following: In a shell on the machine running the bacula director: bacula-dir -t This will test the configuration. You may need to specify the config file, in which case you instead use: bacula-dir -c /path/to/bacula-dir.conf -t This tests the config files. If that does not return any errors you then run bconsole and enter: reload That will prompt bacula to re-read the configuration files. It's better to test the config files before reloading them in the console, because if they're bad then the director will crash and you'll have less information about why than if you run the test command. -- -- Flak Magnet (Tim) www.flakmagnet.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
