For some reason, my backups suddenly failed after I set up two storage sections pointing at the same storage client (the idea was that one was for clients to back up using the VPN and the order for clients to use directly). I might have made some other changes as well.
My backup directory is an SMB mount owned by bacula and is writable. I can create files in it by hand, even bacula can create a file when I run label in the console. My questions: 1. Below is the debug info. How do I determine why the device is not visible to bacula? What could be going on here? 2. How do I re-initiase my bacula database (without wiping my backups). I am on an ubuntu feisty system.
