Hello,

I'm trying to prepare a generic, fully-automated bare-bones recovery process using a Knoppix CD with Bacula. I'm having problems getting the file daemon to communicate with the storage daemon on our backup server when the file daemon is backgrounded. When I run the file daemon in the foreground, using the same flags and configuration file as when run in the background, there are no communication errors and the restore completes successfully.

The backup server is running Debian and the machine to be restored is booting off of a Knoppix CD. All machines are running Bacula versions 1.36.2. I have tried starting the file daemon in the background via the init scripts and from the command line. When started in the background, I can connect to the file daemon using bconsole and get a status. However, restore operations always fail unless the file daemon is run in the foreground.

The specific error I get when running the backgrounded file daemon is:

26-Sep 16:09 server-dir: Start Restore Job RestoreFiles.2005-09-26_16.09.44
26-Sep 16:09 server-dir: RestoreFiles.2005-09-26_16.09.44 Warning: bnet.c:769 
Could not connect to File daemon on client:9102. ERR=Connection refused
Retrying ...
