Hi,
I've wondered about why my clients won't back up, but think that I found the problem after reviewing this page: http://www.bacula.org/en/dev-manual/What_is_Bacula.html#SECTION00220000000000000000 The picture specifies that the client accesses the server to ship its data. This collides with my settings quite a bit because the director and storage server are behind a firewall, and cannot directly be accessed by the clients. What would work, however, is to tell the director/storage daemon(s) to contact the client, but offhand, I don't seem to figure out how to configure this. For me, the problem would be removed if I could have this SD -> FD instead of FD -> SD (as described on this page: http://www.bacula.org/en/rel-manual/Dealing_with_Firewalls.html). I'd like to know why the original desin decision was taken, as the client (FD) doesn't have any knowledge about where the storage server is, anyway, the director could imho equally well tell the storage daemon to talk to a certain client, than it could tell the client to talk to a certain storage server. Maybe I'm missing something...
