Hi all I have a client machine (FD 13) in a firewalled admin network that cannot be connected to by the Director (11), so it is using ConnectToDirector = yes, i.e the FD connects through the firewall to the Director.
The client machine is backed up to two different tiers, so there are two daily jobs backing up the machine. The backup to both tiers works fine, - however: the first backup generates a larger number of error messages before it starts: Error: getmsg.c:217 Malformed message: [bsockcore.c:265 Unable to connect to Director daemon on bacula-dir.lan.net:9101. ERR=Connection refused Then the backup runs through fine, it says it terminates with warnings (although there are NO warnings in the log, but the aforementioned errors) Termination: Backup OK -- with warnings The second backup later runs though without those errors. It looks to me like the FD was initially not connected to the director, but then it it does successfully connect. I am not sure if this is the correct interpretation. Generally its not nice to have errors in the log as I need to check for them every day.. Is there a way to better configure the FD or DIrector so that the errors do not occur? The FD config: Director { Name = bacula-dir Password = “redacted" # DirPort = 9101 Address = bacula-dir-redacted ConnectToDirector = yes ReconnectionTime = 40 min } FileDaemon { # this is me Name = redacted # FDport = 9102 # where we listen for the director WorkingDirectory = /var/lib/bacula Pid Directory = /run/bacula Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 20 Plugin Directory = /usr/lib/bacula # FDAddress = 127.0.0.1 } _______________________________________________ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users
