 Vista and Bacula client
Howdy,
I have Bacula server components running on a Fedora Core 6 box and it is
successfully backing up itself and a Windows XP Pro box to a local hard
disk.
I'm now adding in a Vista machine. The backup starts and runs to
completion, however I have noticed two odd behaviors:
1) I'm backing up 100 GB worth of data, yet the backup ends up taking
over 300 GB worth of space???
2) I'm seeing a lot of errors such as
Could not open directory C:/Documents and
Settings/joeshmo/AppData/Local/Application Data/Application
Data/Application Data/Application Data/Application Data/Application
Data/Application Data/Application Data/Application Data/Application
Data/Application Data/Application Data/Application Data/Application
Data/Application Data/Application Data/Application Data/Application
Data/Application Data/Application Data/Application Data/Application
Data/Application Data/Application Data/Application Data/Application
Data/Application Data/Application Data/Application Data/Application
Data/History: ERR=3DThe name of the file cannot be resolved by the =
system.
For starters, from what I can tell, there isn't a "Documents and
Settings" folder on the C drive anymore, and there certainly aren't a
bunch of nested "Application Data" folders.
I have Volume Shadow Copy enabled and just noticed on the Supported
Operating Systems page that "Windows Vista VSS is reported not to work
with Bacula", I'll try disabling that tonight and try it again.
Anyone have a clue why it would be trying to backup a directory that
doesn't exist?
Thanks, Mike

While I've only played with Vista a little, I did notice that it seems to have
certain pseudo-symlink/shortcut type bits for backwards compatibility. It
looks like Bacula is getting bitten by one of them.

Actually there is, kind of :-(
If you do
dir /a C:\
dir /a "C:\Documents and Settings\joeshmo\AppData\Local"
you'll see some junctions which could be confusing Bacula.

On winXP SP2 I have several junctions and bacula handles them correctly
(gives an error and does not descend into them) as I witnessed that today.

Interesting, I forgot all about junctions in Windows. I have a backup
scheduled for tonight, I'm going to see what it does with VSS turned off
(both the service on the Vista machine and in the client config).
