[Bacula-devel] Restoring to a PC running XP

[Robert T. <rw...@n-...>]

  Hi, Please forgive me if this is the wrong place to post this.  I
didn't see it online anyplace.

  I'm running Bacula on Fedora Core 5 with DLT 7000 tape drives.  Two of
the clients are Windows machines.  One of them was destroyed, fatal
shock to the system when the power supply burned up.

  The good news is I had it all backed up with Bacula just the day
before.  I tried to restore a simple case the first time. It worked
fine. I restored about 20 gig worth of files.  Since that time I cannot
restore a darn thing. Not even a single file.  I keep getting the
following error:

Much to my surprise I get the same error if I try to restore to my Linux
machine:
Job started. JobId=81

Of course local is the local Linux machine.  Looks like it still tried
to go through the PC.


Any ideas what is wrong?  I blew the PC bacula stuff clean away (with
the uninstall script) and restored, then downloaded the bacula stuff
again and restored. I have the .conf files on the linux host so I know
they are right.  I had stored them on the Linux machine once I got them
right originally.

What I can tell you is that on the PC, if I click on the tape icon it
shows the director connecting and the job failing.  I didn't see where
to find any log files or look at what it thought was wrong.  At least it
is a very reproducible error.

Let me know if you need stuff from the PC. I loaded Flight Simulator on
it and the video files, other than that it is up to date with Microsoft
updates and I applied the motherboard stuff with the video drivers.
Other than that, it is stock.  I don't even have any anti-virus stuff on
it yet.


Thanks,
Rob
