Mark, did you receive my earlier post (reply to earlier e-mail in this
thread)? I pasted there portion of my bacula config. Im my case (bacula
5.x.x) it is forward slash for Windows clients as well. I know one way to
test it: make a backup, then restore, then compare. (It is always a good
idea for the first new type of client when not sure the config is
correct...)

I hope, this helps.
