Thanks for the reply!
I’ll upgrade. I was just using the Debian repo versions because that
was what was there.
I already had to downgrade the Windows client because it wouldn’t
connect to 5.6.2.
So, now, I’ll re-upgrade everything to 7.4
That's a good idea in any case. As for the remote server to be backed
up, I have had good results using OpenVPN tunneling. This allows the
remote server to be assigned an IP on the SD's LAN. To both SD and DIR
the remote server appears to be a local machine, and in addition the
traffic is already encrypted and requires no TLS setup in Bacula.

Hello Michael
I'm not sure if is it possible in older versions like yours.
Take a look below
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
New Features in 7.2.0
FD Storage Address
When the Director is behind a NAT, in a WAN area, to connect to the
StorageDaemon, the Director uses an ``external'' ip address, and the
FileDaemon should use an ``internal'' IP address to contact the
StorageDaemon.
The normal way to handle this situation is to use a canonical name
such as ``storage-server'' that will be resolved on the Director side
as the WAN address and on the Client side as the LAN address. This is
now possible to configure this parameter using the new directive
FDStorageAddress in the Storage or Client resource.
Storage {
Name = storage1
Address = 65.1.1.1
FD Storage Address = 10.0.0.1
SD Port = 9103
...
}
Client {
Name = client1
Address = 65.1.1.2
FD Storage Address = 10.0.0.1
FD Port = 9102
...
}
Note that using the Client FDStorageAddress directive will not allow
to use multiple Storage Daemon, all Backup or Restore requests will be
sent to the specified FDStorageAddress.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bacula is already in 7.4.0 version.
It's highly recommended upgrading.

Hello everyone, this is my first time mailing this list, so guidance
on etiquette is welcomed.
TLDR; = I have a server outside the firewall (john-fd is on
173.165.161.165) trying to backup to a storage daemon inside my LAN
(d8-sd is on 192.168.250.202). I have port forwarded (in my Monowall)
tcp/9103, and I can successfully telnet from the remote server to the
local sd. But, the console is forever saying: "...waiting on storage
file" when I run the job.
What I've done:
* Scoured the docs and tutorials
* Exhausted Google (and DuckDuckGo)
* Confirmed The software versions are all 5.6.2 (learned that one the
hard way dealing with a Windows client!)
* Shutdown bacula-sd and confirmed telnet no longer connects, and when
I restart bacula-sd it DOES connect.
* shutdown the firewall (everywhere - for testing) no joy
* opened 9101 and 9102 on our firewall and forwarded them to
192.168.250.202 just in case any bacula service wants to communicate.
* used netstat -tanop to watch the telnet connections come in from the
remote server to confirm that NAT is working properly.
What I think is going on:
D8-FD (the file director on the server where bacula-sd, the pools, and
volumes reside) can connect to the remote server, and can issue
commands to run the backup job. But, when the remote fd tries to
connect back (through the firewall from "outside -> in") to the
storage daemon, it's failing - despite the fact that the NAT is setup
properly, and I can telnet through it.
That doesn't make sense to me because it should either work or be
broken. So, I'm thinking that if I can telnet to it, then the remote
fd should also be able to work with it. Nmap also shows the port as
open and reachable.
How else can I troubleshoot this "waiting on storage" problem?
PS. I am about 18 hours in to working with Bacula. Fantastic product,
but don't be afraid to assume I have missed something rudimentary. I
have two machines on the LAN working and backing up, so I have had
some success, but it's still possible I've missed something simple...
