Hi Alex I think you've correct identified your initial problem:

Which is incorrect. Don't forget that the Name parameter can be anything to easily identify the client; but the Address must resolve to the IP address of the client system. For example: Client { Name = "Mail System" Address = mail.mydoom.com ... The second error you've received indicates that at least Bacula has attempted to contact the client, so you're one step further forward. The problem there could be a mismatched password or possibly a firewall issue. If you can telnet to the mail.mydoom.com on port 9102 then the port is open and it's most likely a password mismatch. Bacula is a bit of a handful at first with all the configuration files and options; but stick with it and you'll end up with a rock solid backup system.
