hi there,

I just tried to build a storage node to my server, according to the
manpage nsr_storage_node, which was almost the only documentation i
found.

But i have a little problem in understanding, how storage nodes
work...


I just tried to backup a system via storage node, but i got the
following error:

* hostname.domain.tld::All 1 retry attempted
* hostname.domain.tld:All Network is unreachable
* hostname.domain.tld:index 1 retry attempted
* hostname.domain.tld:index save: error, no matching devices; check storage 
nodes, devices or pools
* hostname.domain.tld:index save: Cannot open save session with backupserver


It seems that the master server needs to be able to connect to the
client, but i don't understand, why this happens.
I thought, the server tells the storage node, what to do.

This is, because the master backup server has no physical connection
to the outside world, it's located within an unrouted network, and
the storage node  was meant to be some 'gateway' between the client
and the master server.


With kind regards,

        Frank Altpeter
