Hi,
We use bacula in our company for all our server
backups. The backup portion is working just fine with no errors on
backing up (connects good to the SD). However, when I am doing a test
restore I get the following error. I think it is strange that it can
connect to the SD for backups, but not for restores. It give the same
error on doing restores to different servers.
The Director and SD are on the same box. I have
iptables turned off, hosts.allow is All:All. Also have the max connects
for dir is 100 and Max connections for SD is 100. It is not that busy of
a backup server, this should be the only thing going on. The
authentication password is the same for everything, I have changed the passwords
below (for security reasons of course) in the configs. If the passwords work
for backing it up to the storage shouldn’t it work for restoring from the
storage? I have also restarted all the bacula daemons and have rebooted
the server. Please let me know if I need to provide more files and
information.
