Hello,
It says here to send an email to this list to get help with the Bacula
Community software. I hope it works, because I’m having a hard time finding
anywhere else to get help. Thank you ahead of time!
I am trying to use Bacula on a website server to backup to Amazon’s AWS Cloud.
There are a couple places I’m stuck, having researched and tried everything I
could find, but still not getting very far.
One is with connecting to the AWS S3 bucket “instance” from the server, the
other concerns connecting with the File Daemon on the server from the Director
(both on the same machine).
The server is running the RHEL 9 OS, and I have Bacula Community 11.0.1
installed.
Regarding the AWS problem, I have the AWS account all set up, with the S3
bucket, keys, a DNS address, the port set up, etc., and so, as I understand it,
I should be able to connect to it from the server using Bacula.
But when Bacula tries to connect, I get: "Warning: bsockcore.c:258 Could not
connect to Storage daemon on ec2-<ID>.us-west-1.compute.amazonaws.com:9103.
ERR=Connection refused"
See my config files, as presently configured, below (I've tried many
iterations, based on examples found online).
Regarding the File Daemon problem, when I try to run a job from the Bacula
console (CLI), I get: No authorization. Client "server.example.com-fd". Job not
run. (I substituted "example" for our actual server name.)
The "Director" section in the bacula-fd.conf file has the password set
correctly, matching the one in bacula-dir.conf for the "Client" section (see
below). So I don't get why it won't authorize.
I checked, and the actual daemons are running, and the ports are not blocked
(eg, telnet 127.0.0.1 9103 works).
Configuration file tests pass.
How can I get this working? Do I get an email when someone responds? Thanks for
any help!
