With the drive empty, that command hangs. With the drive loaded it gives:

drive type = 114
drive status = 1073741824
sense key error = 0
residue count = 0
file number = 0
block number = 0

I'm backing up the local machine, so there is no true IP address. The installer supplied "127.0.0.1" and "localhost" in various places. I wonder about the use of "localhost," since some of the .conf files contain comments that caution against it, but at this point I'm assuming that the installer knows better than I do!

I've posted the .conf files (minus passwords) at the following locations:

http://www.jhsachs.com/bacula/bacula-sd.conf.html
http://www.jhsachs.com/bacula/bacula-fd.conf.html
http://www.jhsachs.com/bacula/bacula-dir.conf.html

The three I started were running. I reproduced the test to confirm that:

$ sudo bacula-sd
[sudo] password for jonathan:
$ sudo bacula-fd
$ sudo bacula-dir
$ ps -A | grep bacula
6384 ?        00:00:00 bacula-sd
6408 ?        00:00:00 bacula-fd
6430 ?        00:00:00 bacula-dir

I then tried running btape again, and this time it worked. I won't reproduce the output, since it was lengthy and apparently normal. I don't know what made it work this time when it failed last time.

Then I tried running the backup test again, and got the same "Failed to connect to Client Sonata-Ubuntu-fd" error as before.

Thank you for your assistance. I'm going to be away from my Linux box for about a week, and I probably won't be able to pursue this further until I return. I'll give it my prompt attention then.
