Hi Tim, It works now, but it looks like that didn’t work at the time of the backup. A network problem at that moment, a (dns) server that was down or being rebooted, a power failure with servers running on UPS but one of the switches not, or so? Anyhow, I would look at the error as a symptom, with the cause somewhere outside bacula. The backup didn’t exactly fail, it couldn’t be started because bacula couldn’t find the server it was supposed to back up.

Subject: Re: [Bacula-users] backups failed with gethostbyname() error Hey Dmitriy, Yes, definitely the client host is resolving well in DNS from the bacula server. Take a look!

We'll see where that gets us for tonight's run, just in case this was some kind of DNS issue. Thanks!
