[Bacula-users] Re: Fwd: Bacula: Backup Fatal Error of sidell-fd Full

[SI R. <si...@mi...>]

The main error message I get is:
11-Jul-2003 02:05 si-dir: *Console*.2003-07-11_02.04.48 Fatal error: Director 
and File daemon passwords not the same.

I had tried to have both si-dir and sidell-dir Director passwords in both 
bacula-fd.conf, and "si" bacula-sd.conf. Those are the main changes I have 
made. Then after your email I # all references to sidell-dir and password on 
both computers. that did not work either. I had tried it originally as it 
came and had gotten the same error message. By the way, the error message 
should have been an attachment on the original email, as well as "si" *.conf 
files.

The other change was copying the file set and backupset for si-fd and using it 
with sidell-fd, adding only a "-SIDELL" to the backupset and fileset names to 
differentiate with localhost "si". If that is wrong, I haven't gotten that 
far.

the confidence to ask questions that revealed he didn't know very much... you 
got the sense that if he believed something he'd pursue it tenaciously.
