Most likely the passwords do not agree. > For the password for the Tray Monitor configuration you need to look: I do not really nkow what the Tray monitor is as I use Baculum on the bacula-dir = bacula-sd Linux host through firefox on my macos laptop.

So thank you for this information, I will archive this for when I may need it: > > for FD password: > > Main menu -> Clients -> [ select the client ] -> Tab: Configure file daemon > -> Section: Director > > for SD password: > > Main menu -> Storage -> [ select the storage ] -> Tab: Configure storage > daemon -> Section: Director > > for DIR password: > > Main menu -> Director -> Tab: Configure director -> Console > > Best regards, > Marcin Haba (gani) > > On Thu, 16 Jun 2022 at 13:11, Justin Case <jus7inc...@gmail.com> wrote: > Thank you Marcin, > > I wasn’t aware the Baculum could also be installed on a FD host.
