Hi,
we've been happily using Bacula now for a few years, with a couple of big
disk arrays as the storage devices/media. We use something along the lines
of what the manual documents for fully automated disk-based backups. This
has worked well and is really quick and convenient for doing restores

It looks like the same problem applies to bacula-sd and bacula-di
esses are specified.
The above config will makes bacula-fd listen on IPv6 only on my Ubuntu
instance (which makes sense of course). However, if you add the IPv4 in:
FDAddresses = {
ipv4 = { addr = 0.0.0.0; port = 9102; }
ipv6 = { addr = :: }
}
It no longer binds to any IPv6 addresses.
