Hi all

I have a client machine (FD 13) in a firewalled admin network that cannot be 
connected to by the Director (11), so it is using ConnectToDirector = yes, i.e 
the FD connects through the firewall to the Director.

The client machine is backed up to two different tiers, so there are two daily 
jobs backing up the machine. 
The backup to both tiers works fine, - however:

the first backup generates a larger number of error messages before it starts:

Error: getmsg.c:217 Malformed message: [bsockcore.c:265 Unable to connect to 
Director daemon on bacula-dir.lan.net:9101. ERR=Connection refused

Then the backup runs through fine, it says it terminates with warnings 
(although there are NO warnings in the log, but the aforementioned errors)

  Termination:            Backup OK -- with warnings

The second backup later runs though without those errors.

It looks to me like the FD was initially not connected to the director, but 
then it it does successfully connect. I am not sure if this is the correct 
interpretation.

Generally its not nice to have errors in the log as I need to check for them 
every day..

Is there a way to better configure the FD or DIrector so that the errors do not 
occur?


The FD config:

Director {
  Name = bacula-dir
  Password = “redacted"
#  DirPort = 9101
  Address = bacula-dir-redacted
  ConnectToDirector = yes
  ReconnectionTime = 40 min
}

FileDaemon {                          # this is me
  Name = redacted
#  FDport = 9102                  # where we listen for the director
  WorkingDirectory = /var/lib/bacula
  Pid Directory = /run/bacula
  Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 20
  Plugin Directory = /usr/lib/bacula
#  FDAddress = 127.0.0.1
}
