I have added a Winders server to our Bacula backup jobs. It is located in a DMZ. Our web server (running on SLES 10) is also in the DMZ and we have been backing it up with Bacula for a month now. I created rules in the firewall for the Windows server that are identical to those for the web server, just with a different IP address. The Bacula client is installed and the bacula-fd.conf file has been edited. The bacula-fd service starts automatically.
Here is the bacula-fd.conf: # # Default Bacula File Daemon Configuration file # # For Bacula release 1.38.10 (08 June 2006) -- cygwin 1.5.18(0.132/4/2) # # There is not much to change here except perhaps the # File daemon Name to # # # List Directors who are permitted to contact this File daemon # Director { Name = lbackup-dir Password = "filedaemon" } # # "Global" File daemon configuration specifications # FileDaemon { # this is me Name = ArcIMS-fd FDport = 9102 # where we listen for the director WorkingDirectory = c:/bacula/working Pid Directory = c:/bacula/working } # Send all messages except skipped files back to Director Messages { Name = Standard director = lbackup-dir = all, !skipped } This is identical to the conf file on systems that work, except for the filedaemon name. When I run a backup job for this server, the job runs for two hours (almost exactly), with the tape drive indicating data being written, then terminates with an error. The job summary looks like this: 29-Jan 18:07 lbackup-dir: ArcIMS.2007-01-29_16.07.46 Fatal error: Network error with FD during Backup: ERR=Connection reset by peer 29-Jan 18:07 lbackup-dir: ArcIMS.2007-01-29_16.07.46 Fatal error: No Job status returned from FD. 29-Jan 18:07 lbackup-dir: ArcIMS.2007-01-29_16.07.46 Error: Bacula 1.36.3 (22Apr05): 29-Jan-2007 18:07:51 JobId: 1462 Job: ArcIMS.2007-01-29_16.07.46 Backup Level: Full (upgraded from Differential) Client: ArcIMS-fd FileSet: "ArcIMS" 2007-01-19 15:50:02 Pool: "Weekend" Storage: "Internal" Start time: 29-Jan-2007 16:07:48 End time: 29-Jan-2007 18:07:51 FD Files Written: 0 SD Files Written: 13,339 FD Bytes Written: 0 SD Bytes Written: 9,959,280,437 Rate: 0.0 KB/s Software Compression: None Volume name(s): Week_2D Volume Session Id: 3 Volume Session Time: 1170100801 Last Volume Bytes: 19,948,336,363 Non-fatal FD errors: 0 SD Errors: 0 FD termination status: Error SD termination status: OK Termination: *** Backup Error *** Status dir looks like this: Terminated Jobs: JobId Level Files Bytes Status Finished Name ======================================================================== [other jobs] 1462 Full 0 0 Error 29-Jan-07 18:07 ArcIMS I am puzzled why there are 13,339 SD files and 9,959,280,437 bytes written, but zero FD files and bytes written. -- Tks n rgds, Richard White CNE6 Network Engineer Mason County, Washington 360-427-5501 [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
