[Bacula-users] Job keeps waiting on storage daemon
I have been trying to setup bacula so that it will perform 2 backup jobs. One
to backup a folder in a user's home folder and another to backup an entire
partition. Each time I try to run one of the two backup jobs (via webmin) it
says it has started but when I go to the director status it outputs
"BackupGame_Servers 114 Incremental is waiting on Storage
Game_Servers". Where BackupGame_Servers is the job name, 114 I believe is the
job number, Incremental is the type of backup, and Storage Game_Servers is the
Storage Daemon it is using. When i try to run the other backup job I also get a
"is waiting on Storage daemon _". The backups are set to be stored on on
separate partition and in separate folders in that partition. I don't see why
this is doing this. I use a different storage device, storage daemon, volume
pool, and backup schedule to keep everything organized. I posted my config
files to better show/explain and eliminate the possibilities of errors.

[Bacula-users] Job keeps waiting on storage daemon
Thank you John. So just to be sure, I can only perform one job on each storage device. In this case, I can only perform one backup on the partition in my HDD? Even if the jobs are to set to be performed at different times, I still can't perform more than one job? +-- |This was sent by altiris28...@gmail.com via Backup Central. |Forward SPAM to ab...@backupcentral.com. +-- -- HPCC Systems Open Source Big Data Platform from LexisNexis Risk Solutions Find What Matters Most in Your Big Data with HPCC Systems Open Source.

[Bacula-users] Job keeps waiting on storage daemon
I think I am understanding better, but as you said "Also there is nothing stopping you from having more than 1 storage device with volumes on the same filesystem. " I have actually made everything separate per job, so separate volume pool, storage device and daemon (as you can see in the OP)because to me this makes it easier for things to be organized and track down future errors (while it seems this is causing problems?) but I am still getting problems. I have removed the entire second job from my config files and now even with the one backup job I am getting a status from the director that is waiting on the Storage Daemon Game_Servers why is it doing this, this is the only backup job that is currently enabled and set to run. +-- |This was sent by altiris28...@gmail.com via Backup Central. |Forward SPAM to ab...@backupcentral.com. +-- -- HPCC Systems Open Source Big Data Platform from LexisNexis Risk Solutions Find What Matters Most in Your Big Data with HPCC Systems Open Source.

[Bacula-users] Job keeps waiting on storage daemon
Well...I already know I am doing multiple things wrong. I just made a new daemon for each storage device, if I added a new storage device I would add a new storage daemon and make them match such as the Media type name. I have the two storage daemons on the same IP address and same port. This is all being done on one machine. What confuses me though is even with just having one backup job enabled and trying to run it I get that same error message as when having two backup jobs enabled with only one job going. +-- |This was sent by altiris28...@gmail.com via Backup Central. |Forward SPAM to ab...@backupcentral.com. +-- -- HPCC Systems Open Source Big Data Platform from LexisNexis Risk Solutions Find What Matters Most in Your Big Data with HPCC Systems Open Source.

[Bacula-users] Job keeps waiting on storage daemon
I think the problem I am having is that the directory is not being able to connect to the storage daemons for some odd reason. I went into the bconsole tool (/usr/sbin/bconsole) and typed status and selected "Storage", the bconsole would hang at "Connecting to Storage daemon Game Servers at mycomputer.mydomain.com:9103" where mycomputer and mydomain were replaced with their respective names. I have checked if the port 9103 is open and it is, my fqdn returns the name that the director is trying to connect to (listed above). I dont understand why this happening, it used to work fine. +-- |This was sent by altiris28...@gmail.com via Backup Central. |Forward SPAM to ab...@backupcentral.com. +-- -- Open source business process management suite built on Java and Eclipse Turn processes into business applications with Bonita BPM Community Edition Quickly connect people, data, and systems into organized workflows Winner of BOSSIE, CODIE, OW2 and Gartner awards http://p.sf.net/sfu/Bonitasoft ___ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users

I have discovered the problem and it had to do with my /etc/hosts file. I had changed it a bit slightly a while ago and I recently remembered that bacula started acting up when I changed it (I was working with DNS and mail server at the time). Basically the issue was I that I had "192.168.12.13 mycomputer-mydomain.com mycomputer" instead of "192.168.12.13 mycomputer.mydomain.com mycomputer" I am really upset that was whats wrongI make a lot of these silly mistakes simply because the time I work on my server are late at night +-- |This was sent by altiris28...@gmail.com via Backup Central. |Forward SPAM to ab...@backupcentral.com. +-- -- Open source business process management suite built on Java and Eclipse Turn processes into business applications with Bonita BPM Community Edition Quickly connect people, data, and systems into organized workflows Winner of BOSSIE, CODIE, OW2 and Gartner awards http://p.sf.net/sfu/Bonitasoft ___ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users
