Hello! Have you tried restarting those clients? Are you sure the passwords are matching configuration on the client and the server? Are you using communication encryption (TLS* options)? Are there any logs on the client or server side? If you are sure configuration is correct you should try debug it. It's either the configuration (IP/password) or the network. Here are some ideas. Check if you have selinux on those servers (use the command getenforce) and if yes, turn it of (at least temporarily) using the command setenforce 0 You could stop the bacula-fd on those servers and run nc on the port 9102 using the command "nc -l 9102", then try to connect to it using telnet or nc from the bacula server. During tests, try using IP addresses instead of hostnames to eliminate the possibility of wrong DNS or /etc/hosts entries. Check the firewall rules on the backup client and you might temporarily for the purpose of testing stop the firewall and get it up later. On the backup client you could use tcpdump to check if your packets from the backup server are really reaching your client server using the command such as this: tcpdump -i any -nnn -vvv 'port 9102' Then do the same from client toward your bacula storage server using port 9103.
