Windows machine in questions is a Win 2000 server. Services will use by default the local service user but a different user can be configured. It is also possible to keep desktop assignments. The Windows versions of bacula-dir, bacula-sd and bacula-fd have several command line switches one of them being '/debug'. I tried this but it didn't produce any additional output. Maybe this is written to a different log file? Does anybody have experience with this? I tried to backup a HDD share without any permission limitations (readable and writeable by everyone) but even that didn't work. Because of missing debug output and error messages I don't have any clue what is going on. Is it a permission problem (which it shouldn't) or is it a syntax problem. BTW, is there anything like strace for Windows?
