Hi David,
I use Time Machine (for the System disk) as well as Bacula on my
Mac, as
I'd still need the Time Machine backup to do a bare-metal restore
(with
Apps). I use Bacula to back up this and an external data drive.
Rather than purchasing a separate "Time Capsule", I set up Samba on a
Linux VM to expose an SMB share that the Mac sees as a Time Capsule
drive (
https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Configure_Samba_to_Work_Better_with_Mac_OS_X
).
I had one problem with Time Machine a few months ago, where it stopped
backing up data and insisted on starting the backup 'chain' from
scratch
again. I was a little miffed 🙂.
I'm afraid I can only confirm that the Bacula v9.6 and v11 file
daemons
worked for me under macOS Catalina and Monetery (I skipped Big
Sur. Not
for good reason---just laziness). Both v9 and v11 clients were
compiled
from source (setting the linker flags to "-framework
CoreFoundation" as
already suggested).
I've personally not run in to problems with System Integrity
Protection,
although I do give the bacula-fd executable "Full Disk" permissions.
Thanks.

Subject: Re: [Bacula-users] Packet size too big (NOT a version
mismatch)
I'm curious if anyone has moved away from Bacula on macOS and what
alternatives they're using. Even before this, it was getting more
and more
awkward to set up -- bacula really doesn't play well with SIP, for
example,
and running "csrutil disable" on every system is not a security best
practice.

Disappointing... I am having the same issue on BigSur with the 11.0.5
release as I had with 9x.

Setting 'Maximum Network Buffer Size' does not appear to solve issue.
Are there users out there successfully running a bacula client on Big
Sur??

Not sure if this is correct, but I've been able to at least compile
bacula client 11.0.5 on Big Sur by doing before configure step:
LDFLAGS='-framework CoreFoundation'
We'll see next up whether it runs and whether it exhibits the issue
seen
under Big Sur for 9x client.

Josh,
Thanks for the tip. That did not appear to be the cause of this
issue,
though perhaps it will fix a yet to be found issue that I would
have run
into after I get past this compilation error.

This might be due to a libtool.m4 bug having to do with MacOS changing

Seems like this might have something to do with the expection of

being here:
/System/Library/Frameworks/CoreFoundation.framework/Headers
when they are here:
/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/SDKs/MacOSX11.0.sdk/System/Library/Frameworks/CoreFoundation.framework/Headers/
but that may be a red herring.
There also appears to be a 'clang' in two locations on OS X, /usr and
xcode subdir. Hmm....

To do that I'd have to upgrade the director and the storage first,
right?
(Director can't be an earlier version than the FD, and the SD must
have
the
same version as the director.)
In general yes, the code is designed to support Old FDs but can have
problems
with newer FDs. In your case it may work.
At least, you can try a status client to see if the problem is
solved and
if you can run a backup & a restore.
Best Regards,
Eric
