Hey guys, I'm a total beginner when it comes to Linux and Bacula. I've almost got it up and running, I have the bacula-dir.conf,etc set up I can do things through webmin, Tray works. So i'm getting there. The problem i'm running into is that I can't get my Windows machine to connect with the director. I start a job manually through webmin and it sits for a few minutes then errors out and says 'No response from client'(along those lines).
Here's my director config file. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ # # Default Bacula Director Configuration file # # The only thing that MUST be changed is to add one or more # file or directory names in the Include directive of the # FileSet resource. # # For Bacula release 5.0.0 (26 January 2010) -- redhat (Final) # # You might also want to change the default email address # from root to your address.

And on the site I read on how to install Windows Baculait said that the whole monitor section needed to be commented out, that's why that is the way it is. Another problem--which may not be for here is about the Windows piece-- When ever I try to start bconsole a Command prompt window opens and immediately closes a split second later. I can't even read what's on the screen. This may be for another place but just in case here's my bconsole.conf file from my windows machine. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ # # Bacula User Agent (or Console) Configuration File # Director { Name = bacula-dir DIRport = 9101 address = 192.168.1.195 Password = pw } ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- //My password is not <pw> I replaced the actual password with that, I am 100%sure they all match but my question is--the quotes. Do those matter when entering the password? From all the documentation I can't tell if its put there becuase password is just an example, I also see documentation without quotes. In my config files I had mixed, some with quotes, some without and I got a password error. I then changed everything on the server side to no quotes and that went away. I just want to confirm if they matter or not, should the all have quotes? Should they all not have quotes? Does it not matter as long as it's consistent? Sorry if these are dumb question, any help would be GREATLY appreciated!!!
