[Bacula-users] Windows backup job doesn't stop running

Hi all,

We experience a strange problem when running backup-jobs on one of our  
windows machines (client is windows, server is linux, debian + bacula  
2.4.1). We backup multiple windows machines with this setup, and all  
others run fine.

The sympthoms:

When starting a backup, everything goes fine. The job starts running,  
on the windows I see a VSS snapshot being created (vssadmin list  
shadows), and files come in. Once "done", this is the result:

st dir output:

Running Jobs:
  JobId Level   Name                       Status
======================================================================
   2289 Increme  srv07-bru.2008-07-19_10.03.03 is running
====

st storage output:

Terminated Jobs:
  JobId  Level    Files      Bytes   Status   Finished        Name
===================================================================
....(snip)...
   2289  Incr     12,237    3.029 G  OK       19-Jul-08 10:17 srv07-bru
====

st client output:

Running Jobs:
Director connected at: 19-Jul-08 11:07
No Jobs running.

Terminated Jobs:
  JobId  Level    Files      Bytes   Status   Finished        Name
======================================================================
....(snip)....
   2289  Incr     12,237    3.026 G  OK       19-Jul-08 10:17 srv07-bru
====

So, both the SD and the FD indicate the job as done; and somehow, the  
job does not end. Other jobs on the server finish normally, so nothing  
seems wrong with the server setup. If we wait a while, the job  
terminates eventually, but in an error state, and the backup job is  
marked as faulty. A bls shows the files in the volume. The VSS  
snapshot no longer exists on the client.

We tried a NTBackup on the machine itself, to rule out errors in the  
VSS drivers on the machine. This backup runs fine, and generates no  
errors. Nothing shows up in the event log,..

Does anyone have some idea's how I could debug this further? Can I get  
info on the running job, so I could know what it is waiting for? Any  
other angles how I can try to fix this?

Rgds,
Bernard
