Hello all,

I've just found a way to fix the problem I have.
It was dns resolution problem (see bacula logs below).

Fatal error: Bad response to Storage command: wanted 2000 OK storage ,
got 2902 Bad storage

Anyway, I'm still trying to figure out how can I enforce the file
daemon to follow symlinks on Linux filesystem.

Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated.

Best regards

Davide
