I am trying to run bacula on a mixed LAN with some Win XP/Vista machines
and one Ubuntu 10.04 Server.
The server has the bacula 5.0.1 package installed, while on the Windows
XP machine I have bacula-win32-5.0.3.exe installed.

As I am very new to bacula, I'm sure I am missing something, but have no
clue what or where to look.
Any hints or pointers are most welcome.
TIA
The Windows installer asks for the director name but doesn't set the
password correctly. Copy the password from XP-fd.conf to the
bacula-dir.conf
Copying the password did not seem to make a difference.
As a test I've installed bacula 5.0.1 bacula-console-qt, bacula-console
and bacula-common packages in a VMWare Ubuntu box on WinVista.
The director (also 5.0.1) runs on the machine 'geek', not on the local
machine.
Calling up just bconsole I get only:
/user@ubuntu:~$ sudo bconsole
Connecting to Director geek:9101
user@ubuntu:~$/
/user@ubuntu:~$ sudo bconsole -t
user@ubuntu:~$/
Running BAT gives me the same error and behaves the same in every other
way, first it does connect, but then fails with the same error message.
So it looks it is not really (or at least not only) a Windows problem!!!

I don't have a solution, but some other suggestions...
In bacula-dir.conf, the Password field must match the one listed in the
client conf files above.
Same for Name parameter.
Thank you;
That much seems to check out OK
In /etc/bacula/bacula-dir.conf check that DirAddress also reports geek
In /etc/bacula/bacula-dir.conf I have DirAddress = 127.0.0.1
Check also that /etc/hosts doesn't contain an entry where the fqdn of
geek is matched to 127.0.0.1
my /etc/hosts has two entries
127.0.0.1 geek.aww.net geek localhost
127.0.0.1 geek.aww.net Geek
My understanding - which is very soft and unsure - is that that is sort
of expected.
Can you please help me understand why this is not wanted for bacula?
and how I would have to change it to make things work?
TIA
The line should read just
127.0.0.1 localhost
Bacula director is a server program, i.e. it creates a tcp socket to
listen for incoming connections. That socket is bound to an ip address,
which AFAIKT is taken from the address = line. If the hostname on
that line translates to 127.0.0.1, then the bacula-director socket will
be listening onlly to connections coming from the machine itself, i.e.
won't respond to requests coming from the network.
Omitting the 127.0.0.1 geek line will force the hostname (geek) to be
resolved by the system by querying dns, which will produce the same
result seen by the client machines (i.e. the ip address assigned to the
ethernet interface).

[Bacula-users] backup level: last full timestamp ?
Hallo, daily bacula e-mail reports about job runs have a line like this: Backup Level: Incremental, since=2011-04-10 21:07:35 is it possible (or is it something to put into a wishlist) to have the last full backup timestamp also reported ?

[Bacula-users] Pool per client
I have a setup to backup lots of clients over slow links. I want to have each client (or group of clients) backed up to dedicated client pools, so client1 will go to pool client1, and so on. That way I have better control of the space used, if a client goes away I can simply delete the tapes (or files) an get the space back immediately. Also it gives me better control on the retention on a per client basis. The problem is that when I try to backup multiple clients at the same time, the storage process has to wait for each job to finish before it can move to the next because it needs to change the tape (different client -- different pool). Some clients may take many hours to finish, forcing everybody else to wait. I enabled spooling, but it seems like Bacula requires to mount a tape from the client pool on a drive before the client spooling can begin. Can this be avoided? A possible solution would be to do all backups on a special pool and after they are done migrate later each client job to each client pool. But I cannot find a way to modify the Next Pool dynamically. It is a fixed setting on the Pool definition. Does anybody have suggestions on how to accomplish this?
