From the VM, see if you can 'telnet bacula.itinker.net 9103'. If not, then check firewall and that bacula-dir.conf has the correct password for the SD.

Also from the VM, make sure the NFS share is accessible and writable by the user bacula:tape (or whatever user:group bacula-sd is running as). If not, check permissions, keeping in mind that Selinux is enabled by default in Centos 7.

    Run the SD with debug level set to about 200.  I suspect that the
    NFS share is not mounted, so when the SD attempts to open it, it
    is blocked by the OS, which is what happens when you try to access
    an NSF volume that is not mounted.

    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
    <http://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 <http://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.
