-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi Gabriele,
This may be a red herring - but I have noticed - and I am not sure of the exact circumstances - that even though you stop the bacula daemons, there may be "orphaned" (for lack of a better word) bacula-dir daemon(s) still running on the system. The easiest way to find out is probably to execute ps -ef | grep bacula after you have stopped bacula. I have seen these orphaned processes quite frequently.
