Happyness comes in bconsole messages!
I finally figured out the problem, and am posting the solution here incase anyone else has the same issue in the future. I had made sure I disabled the windows firewall on the client machine. I thought I'd also done iptables -F on the bacula server as well, but it turns out I hadn't... Well, I may have done once, and then restarted the server or something. anyway, the clue came in trying to launch bat from the client machine - it couldn't connect back to the director. I then tried to telnet back to the bacula server, from the windows client, on port 9101 - no joy. I then flushed the iptables on the bacula server using: iptables -F and as if by magic, it's all working fine now! So the problem was that the client FD could not talk back to the server director. +---------------------------------------------------------------------- |This was sent by adam_sc...@btinternet.com via Backup Central. |Forward SPAM to ab...@backupcentral.com. +---------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Free Software Download: Index, Search & Analyze Logs and other IT data in Real-Time with Splunk.
