I eventually removed the 9.X FD (from the Debian standard repos) from this Debian machine and installed the 13.X FD (from the Community Edition Debs). Running it manually works fine, it connects to the Director (11.x) and the backup job runs successfully.
There is one thing still unclear to me: From the Debian standard repos there is still the /etc/init.d/bacula-fd script to start and stop the FD. However, the pathes in the script fit where the standard repos install the FD (/usr/sbin/bacula-fd) and its configuration (/etc/bacula/bacula-fd). Surely I can edit /etc/init.d/bacula-fd to put in where the Community Edition Debs put the FD and config. My questions is this: does a proper bacula-fd service script for /etc/init.d usually come with the Community Edition Debian Debs? (in my case it did not seem so) All the best, J/C > On 19.
