Hi Jason, you're still seems to confuse director configuration on fd and client configuration on dir
On Windows /etc/bareos is replaced by %ProgramData%/bareos and the rest below is identical. As mentioned into the documentation the configure add client create two This creates two resource configuration files: - /etc/bareos/bareos-dir.d/client/client2-fd.conf - /etc/bareos/bareos-dir-export/client/client2-fd/bareos-fd.d/director/bareos-dir.conf (assuming your director resource is named bareos-dir) So you just have to transfert from the director /etc/bareos/bareos-dir-export/client/client2-fd/bareos-fd.d/director/bareos-dir.conf %ProgramData%/bareos/bareos-fd.d/director/bareos-dir.conf I've no other simple way to express the how to.
