[Bacula-users] 5.0.1: Copy job setup as documented leads to fatal error

Hi Folks,

I sucessfully migrated from BackupExec (Win) to Bacula 5.0.1 (CentOS/OSX 10.6 clients using CentOS5.1 Director) with a Backup2Disk2Tape configuration.

Everything works perfectly so far (Thanks for this great software!), but I got one issue:

On restart of bacula-dir, I receive the following fatal error:

JobId 0: Fatal error: Unable to authenticate with File daemon at "localhost:9102". Possible causes:

Reason for this message:

The Jobdefs for the duplication job is configured as described in the 5.0 documentation:

http://www.bacula.org/5.0.x-manuals/en/main/main/New_Features_in_3_0_0.html#SECTION00720000000000000000

As I need to setup a dummy client, I receive the error mentioned above.

Why do I need to setup a dummy client for copy jobs? It's just from Pool to Pool copy and no client is involved, right?

As the doc url states "New_Features_in_3_0_0", could it be possible that the documentation for copy jobs is outdated?

The system itself works without any problems, just the fatal error is raised on startup.

Here is the config part I'm talking about:

JobDefs {

Name = CopyDiskToTape # Disk To Tape

Type = Copy

Messages = Standard

Client = None

FileSet = None

Selection Type = PoolUncopiedJobs

Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 10

SpoolData = No

Allow Duplicate Jobs = Yes

Allow Higher Duplicates = No

Cancel Queued Duplicates = No

Cancel Running Duplicates = No

Priority = 100

}

# Fake fileset for copy jobs

Fileset {

Name = None

Include {

Options {

signature = MD5

}

# Fake client for copy jobs

Client {

Name = None

Address = localhost

Password = "NoNe"

Catalog = MyCatalog

}

# Duplicate to tape

Job {

Name = "CopyDiskToTapeFullBackups"

Enabled = Yes

Schedule = DaySchedule4:00

Pool = Default

JobDefs = CopyDiskToTape

}

# Default B2D pool definition

Pool {

Name = Default

Pool Type = Backup

Storage = File

Recycle = yes

AutoPrune = yes

# enable for duplicate to Tape Pool

Volume Retention = 14 days

LabelFormat = b2d-

Maximum Volume Bytes = 50G

NextPool = Tape

}

# LTO-4 Tape pool definition

Pool {

Name = Tape

Pool Type = Backup

Recycle = yes

AutoPrune = yes

Volume Retention = 2 weeks

LabelFormat = autolabel-

Storage = LTO-4

}

Thanks,

Robert
