Re: [Bacula-devel] windows clients on beta versus stable?

[Kern S. <ke...@si...>]

Hello,

In the stable version 1.30a, Bacula uses open(), read(), and 
write() to save and restore files. This works fine on Win95/98/Me,
but not on WinNT/2K/XP where there are ownership and permissions
issues.

In the beta version, Bacula uses CreateFile(), ReadFile(), and Write()
file on Win95/98/Me systems (no essential difference), but on
WinNT/2K/XP systems, Bacula uses CreateFile(), BackupRead(), and
BackupWrite(), which save and restore (in theory) all the ownership,
permissions, DACLs, and SACLs.

Yes, for WinNT/2K/XP there is a big difference.

Best regards,

Kern
