I believe the bacula win64 client installer (and possibly the win32 one too) is broken if you do a "Custom (not recommended)" install rather than the "Automatic" install. It even says you'll have to edit the bacula-fd.conf file manually if you do that. The problem is that the resulting config file has the placeholders rather than the values it's supposed to write into the file. After running it, if you open the config file and replace the items surrounded by @ characters with meaningful values you should then be able to start the service and have it stay running. I think Kern mentioned at some point the next version of Bacula will have an improved windows installer. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ WhatsUp Gold - Download Free Network Management Software The most intuitive, comprehensive, and cost-effective network management toolset available today.
