i'm trying to convert from AMANDA to bacula for its seemingly better win32 client.
my backup server is RH8 (kernel v2.4.18-14) on a compaq proliant DL380 G2. as much as i'd like to change the distro on this server- it's what compaq/hp supports and provides rpm's to manage the system, raid, and power with. likewise- this is a production server with no compiler or devel packages-- ergo this machine is running bacula-1.29-2rh8.. the most recent binary rpm i could find with a mysql backend. HERE's my problem- symptoms to follow: i'm trying to backup an NT4.0 SP6a client running bacula 1.36.2 but get the following error-- 31-Mar-2005 16:09 njadbsrv02: NJADBSRV02_Daily.2005-03-31_16.09.44 Fatal error:Bad storage command: storage address=tapeserver.myhost.com port=9103 from the console on the server i can get a successful status/client from this machine, but attempts to do a backup always get this error. i found some past postings that reference an incompatibility btwn client/server versions. while believable, i also wonder why there would be protocol communication msgs changes in subversion releases- as this "Bad storage command" error seems to imply. i would upgrade the server to bacula-1.36 but not having a binary rpm has made this difficult. i reluctantly installed gcc- but the large dependency list of devel packages halted me there. thus still not able to compile my own. i then down graded the win32 clients to 1.29 but still had no luck. i'm really ready to retire AMANDA but have found this issue quite frustrating. already way too much time spent debugging. :( if my $.02 counts, i would really like to see binary packages released for the server. i under stand there are way too many combinations of distro's / db backends to consider but it really would benefit instances like this were compilers arent an option on production machines. tia for any help/advice. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by Demarc: A global provider of Threat Management Solutions.
