Hello, again.

Sadly no progress on my end so far.

Hello, Bacula Community.

I am currently working on a setup to have Bacula write backups to a folder mounted over a VPN connection.

To accomplish this I created 2 scripts to run before and after the backup job:

First Script sets up openVPN connection and mounts the folder
Second script unmounts the folder and kills the VPN connection.

The problem is that the bacula job simply gets stuck during the first script and does not continue. This goes to the point where I can't cancel the job and have to restart the director. The File deamon is not contacted while the job is stuck.

It is not an issue with permissions. My bacula user received sudo rights to execute the scripts. Also the script runs perfectly fine when used outside of the bacula job.

Does anyone have an idea what may cause this deadlock?
I am using Bacula 7.0.5 by the way.

Here are the job definition and scripts:

Job {
  Name = "Backup_Remote"
  Client = Server1_fd
  Type = Backup
  Level = Full
  storage = Storage_Remote
  pool = Pool_Remote
  FileSet = "Remote"
  schedule = "VPNCycle"
  RunBeforeJob = "sudo /etc/bacula/openvpn-client-start.sh"
  RunAfterJob = "sudo /etc/bacula/openvpn-client-stop.sh"
  messages = Standard
  Priority = 50
}

openvpn-client-start.sh
#!/bin/bash
openvpn --config /etc/openvpnconfig/openvpn.ovpn --auth-nocache --auth-retry none --replay-window 128 30 & pid=$!
sleep 5s
if mountpoint -q /mnt/remote; then
  exit 0
else
  mount /mnt/remote
fi

openvpn-client-stop.sh
#!/bin/bash
kill $pid
umount /mnt/remote
