Hi, First off. Thank you for a fantastic backup solution. Secondly, sorry for the long post.
The bacula configuration runs perfectly at his client's site, backing up about 15 clients. Flawlessly. Yesterday I included a new client into the backup that is a AMD system that runs NVidia based gigabit NIC. This system has no trouble receiving DHCP, drops no packets and communicates to the rest of the network perfectly. Here is my problem. The backup fails (mostly early into the backup) everytime with the errors below. I have thought that it must be that onboard NIC because if I install a Realtek based NIC it works perfectly. The board was swopped but the problem persists. Error status is received: *messages 27-Jun-2005 10:04 backer-dir: No prior Full backup Job record found. 27-Jun-2005 10:04 backer-dir: No prior or suitable Full backup found.

This makes subsequent backups to this device fail.
