Greetings everybody.
I am a new user of Bacula, and am having a very strange problem with
setting up a new system that I hope somebody can help me with.
I successfully set up a new installation of Bacula on an Ubuntu 24.02
server using the default configuration, and was able to run the
BackupClient1 test backup job without any issues. I then tried to
setup a second storage daemon on my main Slackware64 15.0 server,
where all of my free space is for storing backups. I was able to
compile Bacula, start the storage daemon, and successfully communicate
with it via bconsole, but every time I would try to use it to run a
backup, it would tell me that it 'Cannot find any appendable volumes.
Please use the "label" command to create a new Volume", and I would
have to cancel the backup. Again, this was using the default example
configuration, with the only change I made was pointing the "Address"
on the Ubuntu director to the Slackware storage daemon.
I tried setting up a second Ubuntu VM, and with that I was able to
successfully run the backup job from my main Bacula installation using
the storage daemon on the second Ubuntu server. I then also set up a
full installation of Bacula on a new Slackware64 server, and was able
to perform a backup to the secondary storage daemon on my main
Slackware server, ie: the server I was trying to get working with the
first Ubuntu Bacula setup.
So it seems that using the same distributions, one director server can
talk to a storage daemon on a different server, but is unable to talk
to a storage daemon on a different distribution. Just wondering if
this is normal, and if not, what could be wrong with my setup that
this is occurring?
Here is the command line I am using to build Bacula on my Slackware servers:
CFLAGS="-O2 -fPIC" CXXFLAGS="-O2 -fPIC" ./configure \
--prefix=/usr \
--sbindir=/usr/sbin \
--libdir=/usr/lib64 \
--sysconfdir=/etc/bacula \
--localstatedir=/var \
--mandir=/usr/man \
--docdir=/usr/doc/bacula-15.0.3 \
--with-working-dir=/var/bacula/working \
--with-scriptdir=/var/bacula/scripts \
--with-logdir=/var/bacula/working \
--with-plugindir=/var/bacula/plugins \
--enable-smartalloc \
--with-postgres \
--enable-batch-inserts \
--disable-conio \
--with-readline=/usr/include/readline \
--enable-largefile \
--disable-ipv6 \
--with-openssl \
--build=x86_64-slackware-linux
I also had all this working with Bareos a few weeks ago, but after
finding out about the lawsuit situation, decided to switch everything
over to Bacula.
Thanks in advance.
