Re: [Bacula-users] Replacement server fails with some clients

Hi Gary,

I think I misunderstood your issue because of "Most of my other storage servers are 5.0.3 (one is 5.0.0)".

I was unable to find 5.X Bacula rpms for Fedora 21, just 7.X.

One possibility is to build Bacula from source for this Fedora 21 host.

Also, you could try a post to this list with "5.x rpms for Fedora 21". Maybe someone could create them for you :).

Best regards,

Ana

Hi Ana

Thank you for this. However, initialy the opposite seems to have been the
case. The storage daemons at 5.0.x were working fine, while the one at 5.2.13
was not. However, changing the client has fixed this specific client.

While looking into this, and trying to find out how to install 5.2.x RPM's
onto my Fedora 21 file and print server I found references to Bareos. This
is something I was totally unaware of.

I have followed the instructions to install the bareos repo and have installed
the bareos-client. Having turned 'compatibilty = yes' on I can now
successfully back up this server.

While I'm not sure how I should proceed long term, it does seem to have solved
this problem. What I don't understand is why *very* old boxes running Fedora
9 and 2.4.x clients back up and work fine, while newer Fedora 21 / 5.0.x
clients fail.
