Bacula - Windows Version Disclaimer
===================================

Please note, only the Win64 Client (File daemon) and the Storage daemon 
backing up to disk are supported.  Currently the Director is not 
supported.

Note: the Win64 Client can only be installed on 64 bit Windows Operating 
systems.


Bacula - Windows Version Notes
==============================

These notes highlight how the Windows version of Bacula differs from the 
other versions.  It also provides any notes additional to the documentation.

For detailed documentation on using, configuring and troubleshooting 
Bacula, please consult the installed documentation or the online 
documentation at
http://www.bacula.org/?page=documentation.


Start Menu Items
----------------
A number of menu items have been created in the Start menu under All 
Programs in the Bacula submenu.  They may be selected to edit the 
configuration files, view the documentation or run one of the console 
or utility programs.  The choices available will vary depending 
on the options you chose to install.


File Locations
--------------
Everything is installed in the directory 
"C:\Program Files\Bacula" unless a different directory was selected 
during installation. Note: due to a bug in the NSIS installer we 
are using, on 64 bit machines appears to install Bacula in 
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Bacula".

Code Page Problems
-------------------
Please note that Bacula expects the contents of the configuration 
files to be written in UTF-8 format. Some translations of 
"Application Data" have accented characters, and apparently the 
installer writes this translated data in the standard Windows code 
page coding.  This occurs for the Working Directory, and when it 
happens the daemon will not start since Bacula cannot find the 
directory. The workaround is to manually edit the appropriate 
conf file and ensure that it is written out in UTF-8 format.

The conf files can be edited with any UTF-8 compatible editor, 
or on most modern Windows machines, you can edit them with 
notepad, then choose UTF-8 output encoding before saving them.
