Hi all,
i write you for an issue, I try to backup a bacula server with another bacula server, but I receive always the same error message:
“13-Apr 12:19 bckam101-dir JobId 46775: Fatal error: Unable to authenticate with File daemon at "bckam102:9102". Possible causes: Passwords or names not the same or
Maximum Concurrent Jobs exceeded on the FD or FD networking messed up (restart daemon).
Please see
http://www.bacula.org/en/rel-manual/Bacula_Freque_Asked_Questi.html#SECTION003760000000000000000
for help.
13-Apr 12:19 bckam102-fd: Fatal Error at authenticate.c:143 because:
Incorrect password given by Director at client.
13-Apr 12:19 bckam101-dir JobId 46775: Warning: Unexpected Client Job message: 2999 Authentication failed.”.
This is my scenario:
SERVER ONE – (Bacula 3.0.1)
LSB Version: :core-3.1-amd64:core-3.1-ia32:core-3.1-noarch:graphics-3.1-amd64:graphics-3.1-ia32:graphics-3.1-noarch
Distributor ID: RedHatEnterpriseServer
Description: Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.3 (Tikanga)
Release: 5.3
Codename: Tikanga
SERVER TWO – (Bacula 3.0.3)
LSB Version: :core-3.1-amd64:core-3.1-ia32:core-3.1-noarch:graphics-3.1-amd64:graphics-3.1-ia32:graphics-3.1-noarch
Distributor ID: RedHatEnterpriseServer
Description: Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.3 (Tikanga)
Release: 5.3
Codename: Tikanga
I have add a job definitions for the SERVER TWO in the SERVER ONE Director config file and for resolve the authenticate problem I have try a password like SERVER TWO hostname (like a normal client), the password for the
Director or the password for the SD. I have add in the SERVER TWO FD and SD config files a definitions for the SERVER ONE Director where ask “List Directors who are permitted to contact
this File / Storage daemon” but I receive always the authentication error.
This two backup servers working really fine for many clients. Now I want to try to cross this backups for a disaster recovery strategy: if my SERVER TWO explodes with his storage I have a copy of his configuration on
the SERVER ONE.
How is possible backup a Bacula server with another Bacula server?
Thanks a lot in advance to all
Luca
