I have tried many different version of the Window Bacula client and had no success backing it up. Each time the server emails me telling me that the connection was refused.

When I perform a netstat –n on the Windows 2003 server it does not show the Bacula FD running on any socket.

 

When I try to run the Bacula-fd.exe from the command line the output reads

Bacula-fd: ERRO TERMINATION at /home/kern/Bacula/k/Bacula/src/lib/

Parse_conf.c:918

Config error: Cannot open config file C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Bacula/Bacula-fd.conf”: No such file or directory

 

So when I look at the file C:\Program Files\Bacula\bacula-fd.conf this is what it contains.

 

# # Default  Bacula File Daemon Configuration file # #  For Bacula release 5.2.4 (01/18/12) -- Windows MinGW32 # # There is not much to change here except perhaps the # File daemon Name #   # # "Global" File daemon configuration specifications # FileDaemon {                            # this is me   Name = bnspflu1-ts01-fd   FDport = 9102                # where we listen for the director   WorkingDirectory = "C:\\Program Files\\Bacula\\working"   Pid Directory = "C:\\Program Files\\Bacula\\working" # Plugin Directory = "C:\\Program Files\\Bacula\\plugins"   Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 10 }   # # List Directors who are permitted to contact this File daemon # Director {   Name = bacula1.usmetrotel.com-dir   Password = "Password-01" }   # # Restricted Director, used by tray-monitor to get the #   status of the file daemon # Director {   Name = @monitor_name@   Password = "@monitor_password@"   Monitor = yes }   # Send all messages except skipped files back to Director Messages {   Name = Standard   director = bacula1.usmetrotel.com-dir = all, !skipped, !restored }

 

I have also tried placing the # in front of the following lines with no success.

Director {

  Name = @monitor_name@

  Password = "@monitor_password@"

  Monitor = yes

}

 

What could I be missing? I really was hoping to get it ti work on Windows because it works so well on CentOS and RedHat. I apologize if I missed the fix in any previous responses to the distro or privately

Kern and support distro - Thanks for the continued support.

 

 

I just do not think the FD is running is all. As to why I am not sure. I am Domain Admin in our Active Directory domain and I should be able to manually start it with no issues.

 

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Listening Daemon - I performed a "netstat -n" from the command line on the Windows. I see nothing listening on 9102.

 

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Telnet to 9102 - I can ping the Windows server from all other hosts including the CentOS Bacula Director/Storage server, but cannot telnet to 9102 on the Windows Server from anywhere on the LAN.

 

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Manually executing the file daemon:

C:\>cd "Program Files"

C:\Program Files>cd Bacula

C:\Program Files\Bacula>bacula-fd.exe

C:\Program Files\Bacula>

Windows Firewall - Off completely. Yes you access it via Control Panel>Windows Firewall. It is off and we do not enable it on this box anyway.

If I am not mistaken, how to turn off the firewall is documented in the Windows chapter of the manual.

 

The latest Windows machines will actually put up a Window telling you that the FD wants to open a port and let you deactivate the firewall for that port with one click.

 

Best regards,

Kern
