I'm looking into Bacula 13.0.0 as a backup solution for our organization. I'm following the installation instructions found in the Debian section of the Bacula Community Installation Guide (www.bacula.org/whitepapers/CommunityInstallationGuide.pdf), but they seem to be incomplete. In particular, it appears that the storage daemon is not started.
All bacula components are version 13.0.0 and running locally. The platform is freshly installed Debian Buster and its default version of PostgreSQL (more platform information at bottom of this message). The installation went fine until the infrastructure test (Section 9). The 'bconsole' command worked, but not the commands within it. I tried it three times. Each time the BackupCatalog job was queued rather than executed. In the first try, the 'message' output was much shorter than what's shown in the Installation Guide (I can't recreate it, sorry). On the second try, 'message' produced no output. Output from the third try is below. Is this a Bacula bug? A documentation bug? A platform bug? And of course, how do I get around the problem, and get Bacula working? --Dwight Tuinstra ################################ ##### Session 3 typescript ##### ################################ root@bacula:~# sudo -u bacula /opt/bacula/bin/bconsole Connecting to Director bacula:9101 1000 OK: 10002 bacula-dir Version: 13.0.0 (04 July 2022) Enter a period to cancel a command. *run job=BackupCatalog Using Catalog "MyCatalog" Run Backup job JobName: BackupCatalog Level: Full Client: bacula-fd FileSet: Catalog Pool: File (From Job resource) Storage: File1 (From Job resource) When: 2022-07-29 12:31:47 Priority: 11 OK to run?
