First, a little background about our setup: We're running multiple virtual machines, and the intended method for our backups is to store backup data from each virtual machine on the host machine. Basically, we're using Bacula to prevent against inadvertant deletions of data, rather than against catastrophe.
As such, I have the full Bacula package installed on the host machine, and instances of the file director on each virtual machine. All machines are running Ubuntu of various versions, 7.04 on the host machine and 6.xx on the virtual machines (they vary). Bacula version is 1.38.11. What's really baffling to me is that I had this setup working fine previously, until we moved up to a beefier host machine. The virtual machines were all copied to the new host whole, and so the only "new" part of the install was on the host machine. Even there, I copied my old config files whole cloth, figuring I'd be able to replicate the old setup. Anyway, when I try to contact the FD on any remote machine, I get an auth error along the lines of: 16-Jul 16:38 vhost1-dir: *Console*.2007-07-16_16.28.22 Fatal error: Unable to authenticate with File daemon. Possible causes: Passwords or names not the same or Maximum Concurrent Jobs exceeded on the FD or FD networking messed up (restart daemon). Please see http://www.bacula.org/rel-manual/faq.html#AuthorizationErrors for help. Notably, I have no problems contacting the FD on the host machine. I've checked that FAQ reference and double/triple/quadruple-checked my config files to be sure that names and passwords were the same all around, as well as concurrent jobs. I've verified networking my using Telnet to check the pertinent ports on the remote machine. I've tried substituting the actual IPs of virtual machines in place of addresses. Any other ideas about my problems here? I''ll continue here with some excertps from the config files. Since my bacula-dir.conf is really long and repetetive, what with seven virtual machines, I'll abridge it to reflect only references to one machine. bacula-dir.conf # # IntuiWORX Bacula Director Configuration file # # So here's the way this is supposed to work: We want to back up # the specified FileSets on each VPS on a nightly basis.
