Fixed! After some messing about with telnet from the client to the server on port 9103 I discovered that nothing came through from the outside to the inside of the server. Or in other words, iptables was playing havoc, disabling (for now) iptables made it work fine. Testing the backup with a restore worked as well.
I am very impressed with bacula so far! Albert -------- Original Message -------- I need a little bit of help here. I have the following setup, Fedora 11, Bacula 3.0.3, set up and working with a local client (i.e. the client runs on the same machine as bacula-dir and bacula-sd). I checked that bacula-dir and bacula-sd are actually listening on port 9102/9103 on the real interface, not the localhost. I have also a small NAS, bubba, with a debian sarge for arm installed, this has bacula version 1.36.2. Here is the status of the bubba client (called beige): status client=beige Connecting to Client beige at 192.168.1.3:9102 beige Version: 1.36.2 (28 February 2005) arm-unknown-linux-gnu debian 3.1 Daemon started 12-Feb-10 17:34, 0 Jobs run since started. No Terminated Jobs. Running Jobs: Director connected at: 12-Feb-10 17:47 No Jobs running. ==== Which proves that bacula-dir can connect to it. Now when I start a job nothing happens at the client side. If I cancel the job I get: Automatically selected Job: JobId=33 Job=mail-backup.2010-02-12_17.34.19.04 2001 Job mail-backup.2010-02-12_17.34.19.04 marked to be canceled. 3000 Job mail-backup.2010-02-12_17.34.19.04 marked to be canceled. 12-Feb 17:34 beige: mail-backup.2010-02-12_17.34.19.04 Warning: bnet.c:769 Could not connect to Storage daemon on 192.168.1.40:9103.

What is strange that the connection bacula-fd<-> bacula-dir works fine, the connect bacula-fd<-> bacula-sd does not. Is the because of the version difference between the client and the server (1.36.2 vs 3.0.3)? Problem here is that I cannot simply update the client. Any idea what to check here, thanks, Albert ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ SOLARIS 10 is the OS for Data Centers - provides features such as DTrace, Predictive Self Healing and Award Winning ZFS.
