I installed Bacula on a RHEL 7.3 and it works fine.
Now I want to backup my Mac too, the OS version is 10.8.5.
I need to keep the old version because of some programs on my Mac.
I tried to install the FD with homebrew at first.
I copied the Director entries (included the password) from the running system and was able to start the FD.
At first I got a problem with the password, they did not match.
I changed the password to something simple and then I was able to connect and ask the client status from the bconsole.
But every time I start the backup job, I got the message that the password for the sd that was provided from the director did not match.
After I was not able to fix the problem, I uninstall the bacula-fd from homebrew.
Then I tried the same with fink, but this time the bacula-fd did not start, without any error message.
At least the port 9102 was not in use, I checked it with nmap.
The same happen with the version from Macport (I found the website from Dan describing his way).
So I went back to homebrew again.
I kept the old config file which worked before, but now I get a new problem.
I get this message "hello.c:103-0 Connection from unknown Director xxxxxxxx rejected".
It should be a standard "director name"/"password for a client" problem. In bacula-fd.conf you need to define a proper director name. Does your director has a name: name-dir?
Might it be related to some other messages that I got in the debug session before?
# # Restricted Director, used by tray-monitor to get the # status of the file daemon # Director { Name = kvm.ralfwinkler.com-mon Password = "another-complicated-pw" Monitor = no }
Well, you defined a second director for use by bacula-fd.conf. Do you have another one, or is it a main director in you setup?
FileDaemon { # this is me Name = my-name-fd FDport = 9102 # where we listen for the director WorkingDirectory = /usr/local/var/lib/bacula Pid Directory = /usr/local/var/run Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 20 Plugin Directory = /usr/local/Cellar/bacula-fd/7.4.4_1/lib }
I copied the configuration from the running system and only alter the File-Daemon name, and later the password for the director after it does not work.
And this is the client part in the director on the backup machine:
Client { Name = my-name-fd Address = iMac FDPort = 9102 Catalog = MyCatalog # Password = "old-complicated-pw" # password for FileDaemon 2 Password = "secret" # password for FileDaemon 2 File Retention = 60 days # 60 days Job Retention = 6 months # six months AutoPrune = yes # Prune expired Jobs/Files }
Is anyone here who had the same problems and found a solution?
Correct your configuration and match director name and password for a client.
