As Martin correctly suggested, the problem was of permissions. I fixed it by changing to the following. Previously these were all root:root.
bacula-dir.conf 755 bacula:bacula bacula-sd.conf 755 bacula:bacula bacula-fd.conf 755 root:bacula /var/lib/bacula/ 755 root:root Thanks for the pointers. My understanding of ownership/permissions is obviously lacking! Does this match what others are using? -Chris- > On 18 May 2020, at 19:59, Sven Hartge <s...@svenhartge.de> wrote: > > On 18.05.20 18:25, Chris Wilkinson wrote: > >> I upgraded my server to Debian Buster (10) and took the opportunity to >> upgrade Bacula to the repo version (9.4.2).
