This may cause problems. The 16.2 is compiled with post vista compile flags, so there are differences. You are much better of to use the 14.2 client. The Bareos Director and Storage Daemon can work with all version of Bareos File Daemons, as long as they are from prior releases. It can even work with older Bacula Clients, see http://doc.bareos.org/master/html/bareos-manual-main-reference.html#CompatibilityBetweenBareosAndBacula Of course, the client with the older Bareos File Daemon can only use the feature available at this time. regards, Jörg -- Jörg Steffens [email protected] Bareos GmbH & Co.
