Hi Listers, I am running Bareos (Director and FD) Version: 18.2.5. I have clients behind a NAT gateway. It is not feasible to configure 1:1 NAT for all the clients. A little research pointed me to a client initiated network connection model. My config files for this model are:
1.Director's client resource [root@bareos ~]# cat /etc/bareos/bareos-dir.d/client/activeclient.conf Client { Name = activeclient Address = ww.xx.yy.zz Password = xxxxxxx Connection From Director To Client = no Connection From Client To Director = yes Heartbeat Interval = 60 } [root@bareos ~]# 2.FD's director resource [root@backup ~]# cat /etc/bareos/bareos-fd.d/director/bareos-dir.conf Director { Name = bareos-dir Address = zz.yy.xx.ww Password = "[md5]xxxxxxxxxx" Connection From Client To Director = yes } [root@backup ~]# All the other director configs (schedule, fileset, jobdef, job, etc) are as per the default model (where the Bareos Director connects to the clients). The backup job fails with the following errors: Fatal error: Failed to connect to client "activeclient". Fatal error: No Job status returned from FD. This means the director is still initiating requests. I have confirmed that the FD is running and respective Bareos ports allowed on the firewall Has anyone successfully implemented the active client model? Please assist Thanks in advance. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "bareos-users" group.
