I am in the process of migrating my bacula clients to my new backup system running bacula 7.4.0.  I backup to a tape library and the spooling is enabled. I successfully migrated all my Mac clients except one that is having a problem. It is a Mac workstation and I am able to start a full backup of this client. It spools and de-spools successfully the first time but the send de-spooling fails. Here is what I see in the bacula report:

I enabled debugging for the bacula daemons and then ran the backup job. This time when the job failed I got the following information in my /var/log/messages file:

I am not sure why this particular Mac client is a problem while I am able to run a backup of all other Mac clients? I would appreciate any help in troubleshooting this issue.

 

Thank you.
