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 th
e Ubuntu director to the Slackware storage daemon. Hello Todd, Can you show the actual log entries where the volume is being request, including the Pool.I still have your configs sent to my personal email (have not had time to review them), so I may be able to solve this for you here. :)
Probably should post them here to for all to view.
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?
Bacula Director and FD can talk to an SD running on a different distribution. The thing is that you must be sure that the SD version is exactly equal to the DIR version.
