This is a case where Bacula has an advantage. (The only one I can
identify.) Because the client is native, it can store the native metadata
(eg. Windows ACLs) more completely.
The Bacula client also has native VSS support for backing up open files on
Windows XP/2003.

I do not really consider this an advantage. Either way you have to
install and configure a client: rsync or bacula-fd.

I'm guessing at this one, but I do know that on Windows unlike
Linux/UNIX, it is possible for a user to set perms on a file so that
an admin cannot read it.

But are you authenticating as the owner of that PC (in hosts) or an admin
user ($Conf{CgiAdminUsers}=). If not, you aren't supposed to be able to see

Thanks Les for the response!
The hosts entry looks like this :

OK, I see this is likely the cause of the huge logs :

Which I now recall having set early on in my debugging when I was

I'll set it back to 1 now and re-try a backup, and see where we get from there.
