I am new to Bacula and would like to run the Bacula director on a CentOS 7
virtual machine with the FQDN of bacula.itinker.net and use a NAS device as
my storage repository. For now, my NAS is a somewhat dated Netgear
ReadyNAS device that I'm going to replace with a new Synology box in the
not-too-distant future.
I've got Version 7.0.5 of the Bacula components runnning on the Centos
machine and can backup and restore to a local directory without
difficulty. I'm struggling to get the NAS into the mix.
In my all local configuration I backup to /bacula/backup and restore to
/bacula/restore.
I had hoped that I could tweak the system so that I mount an NFS v3 share
at /bacula/backup.
The OS mounts the NFS share at that point and I'm able to read and write
files without difficulty but when I fire up Bacula the program hangs with
accompanying warning messages "Warning: bsock.c:112 Could not connect to
Storage daemon on bacula.itinker.net:9103. ERR=Connection refused.
Since I'm able to read and write the NFS share outside of Bacula I'm
stumped as to what's getting the way when Bacula runs.
In a perfect world I suppose I'd run the director and SD on the NAS itself,
but I'm not up to attempting to build the current Bacula system on my older
NAS. Maybe I should try to compile the storage daemon but not the director
on the NAS and then point the director on my VM to a daemon running on the
NAS. But that too is more work than just mounting the NFS share as I am
doing at the moment.
Another approach would be to create an iSCSI target and pass that to my VM
as a virtual disc which would just be embedded in the virtual hardware
prior to system boot time, but I'd like to avoid that if possible.
Your thoughts and guidance will be greatly appreciated.
