I believe that bacula does not work anymore with curlftpfs (version 0.9.2). I have found several reports which describe a similar behavior. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/curlftpfs/+bug/367091 http://sourceforge.net/projects/curlftpfs/forums/forum/542750/topic/3295831
Finally I "found" the release notes of curlftpfs 0.9.2: http://sourceforge.net/project/shownotes.php?release_id=602461 "Be aware that some applications might not be able to "save" files on curlftpfs from 0.9.2 on, because we don't support open(read+write) or open(write) and seek anymore." I have written a small program to test this functionality. You can use it to verify your environment. #include <stdio.h> #include <string.h> int main(void) { //FILE *fp = fopen("/home/bacula/test","w+b"); //works fine (without curlftpfs) //FILE *fp = fopen("/home/bacula/archive/Daten/Backup/test","a+b"); //create flags: 0x442 /Daten/Backup/test 0100644 umask=0000 //ftpfs: operation ftpfs_open failed because Operation not supported //FILE *fp = fopen("/home/bacula/archive/Daten/Backup/test","a+"); //create flags: 0x442 /Daten/Backup/test 0100644 umask=0000 //ftpfs: operation ftpfs_open failed because Operation not supported //FILE *fp = fopen("/home/bacula/archive/Daten/Backup/test","w+"); //create flags: 0x242 /Daten/Backup/test 0100644 umask=0000 //ftpfs: operation ftpfs_open failed because Operation not supported FILE *fp = fopen("/home/bacula/archive/Daten/Backup/test","w+b"); //create flags: 0x242 /Daten/Backup/test 0100644 umask=0000 //ftpfs: operation ftpfs_open failed because Operation not supported fprintf(stdout, "I try to open file\n"); if(fp==NULL) { fprintf(stdout,"Error: can't open file.\n"); return 1; } else { char str[40]; int i; strcpy(str,"somecharacters"); printf("File opened successfully. Writing....\n\n"); for (i=0;i<8;i++) { fputc(str[i],fp); } } fclose(fp); return 0; } I would recommend that the documentation of bacula should mention this incompatibility. Using a ftp service you have to find an alternative (which one?)
