Hello, I would suggest the following steps: 1. Make sure the bacula-sd daemon is down. 2. Check the service configuration (whether be it init or systemd) and look for the parameters used for starting the bacula-sd daemon. Specifically, look for the user and the group used for bacula-sd daemon to run under. 3. In my case, username is "bacula" and the group is "tape". Run the bacula-sd daemon manually, in foreground using debug option like -d 99 or -d 9999. For example: bacula-sd -f -u bacula -d 9999 -c /etc/bacula/bacula-sd.conf That should give you the clue why your bacula-sd daemon is unable to start. About the compilation of bacula software distribution... It is pretty much standard procedure that involves running configure script with the options you prefer, following by the make and make install commands which would build (compile) and install files. The usual problem during bacula build (and this is true for most software that require compiling) is failure to satisfy build dependencies (different libraries and their include files) needed for building and linking binaries. If you feel that you lack the knowledge needed for compiling the binaries yourself, I would suggest using packages provided either by your OS or by the Bacula team. It would help you keeping your system easier to maintain.
