Re: [Bacula-users] Failure Backing Up Windows Client Machine

That’s awesome that yours worked. Sorry for the long email but I thought it was important to capture all the details.

I tried manually entering the command you list in a couple different ways:

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

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

C:\Program Files\Bacula>

25-Feb 15:30 bacula-fd: ERROR 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

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

C:\Program Files\Bacula>

25-Feb 15:32 bacula-fd: ERROR TERMINATION at /home/kern/bacula/k/bacula/src/lib/

lex.c:646

Config error: Cannot open included config file monitor_name@: No such file or directory

: line 35, col 24 of file ./bacula-fd.conf

Name = @monitor_name@

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

Entering Bacula-fd.exe –c ./bacula-fd.conf gave me a new result. It showed the error at line 35 column 24 of the Bacula-fd.conf file. Which I remember from earlier in this string somebody told me to comment that out….I just forgot as I installed a new version of the Bacula Client; as I have downloaded them all and start working my way through them to see if that helped.

So here is a screenshot of me opening the Bacula-fd.conf file in NotePad++ and commenting out lines 34 through 38.

Then I went back and re-ran the command bacul-fd.exe –c ./bacula-fd.conf

This time there was no error in the output, however in another shell window running netstat –t did not show the file daemon listening on any 9xxx sockets. See screenshot.

I then read that instead of entering netstat –n, to instead use the command netstat –an. Piping this through more like this: netstat –an | more gave me the following output for socket 9102…

Proto Local Address Foreign Address State

TCP 0.0.0.0:9102 0.0.0.0:0 Listening

Then I ran the backup job from the Bacula server. Here was the console output:

At least there are comms now between the Bacula server and the Windows 32bit client. Outstanding. Thank you so much for helping get me this far.

Now it seems like the list of files is not liked though now.

The email from the Bacula server stated the backup was a success but from the console it stated OK with warnings.

I do not see the file-set that I had listed which was a test directory named C:\bacula\

I tossed some Excel and other files in this directory and in the file-set I defined it as C:\bacula\*

Like this:

Also to see if the files were captured and pulled over to the Bacula Director/Storage server I went to the “Restore Baclup” section and saw no files listed to restore when I went to drill down to pick a specific file.

I am confident now my two remaining tasks are:

1. Get a valid working windows file-set built that Bacula will accept, backup and not give me errors on.

2. Then automate the startup of the File Daemon client on the Windows Server which I am confident I can do and then report back to the distro as to how I do it.

So since simply entering “C:\DIRECTORY\*” does not seem to jive….what do I need to do to define a valid file-set for my Windows machines that I need to backup?
