Adrian, good job! Tnx a lot! Running my first Winblows backup of my 2000
desktop ... 1.2gigs saved ... :)
One minor addition for the readme: You forgot to mention the
serverCA.pem - needn't that also be coppied to the Windows machine? I
didn't try to run it without it ...
One problem I seem to have - I got these error messages:
Jun 17 08:16:07 collector bbstored[22656]: Failed to get write lock (for
Client ID 00002001)
Jun 17 08:16:07 collector bbstored[22656]: in server child, exception
Connection TLSReadFailed (Probably a network issue between client and
server.) (7/34) -- terminating child
bbackupd re-connects after that and continues the save process, though
... any idea? Could that be files like ntuser.dat or the likes, which
Windows keeps open all the time?
Also, noticed the cursor key history on the query process doesn't work ...
Tnx again, -garry
