Backup and restore works on Linux

Bacula's Director (DIR), File Daemon (FD) and Storage Daemon (SD) have been installed on a Linux host, a backup has been run and the files could be restored.

Backup fails on Windows

The next step is to backup files which reside on Windows. A FD has been installed and runs on Windows:

C:\Program Files\Bacula>netstat -nat | grep 91
  TCP    0.0.0.0:9102           0.0.0.0:0              LISTENING       InHost

  TCP    0.0.0.0:9102           0.0.0.0:0              LISTENING       InHost

Telnet has indicated that the Windows host is able to connect to the DIR and SD which reside on Linux:

Question

Why does the FD indicate that c:\temp cannot be backed up, while it exists?

C:\Program Files\Bacula>dir c:\ | findstr temp
08/25/2014  12:40 AM    <DIR>          temp

Could not stat "c:\temp": ERR=No such file or directory while c:\temp exists indicates that for some reason the directory cannot be found. The reason is that a FD should run on a to be backed up host.

enter image description here

  1. Add the Windows Client (FD) to /etc/bacula/bacula-dir.conf by copying the linux FD and changing localhost to IP2 or FQDN2
  2. Change the Client located in the Job part to the name of the FD
  3. Change or add the File located in FileSet to e.g. c:/temp
  4. Check whether the IP1 or FQDN1 of the linux host has been configured as SD host (localhost should be avoided as external FDs cannot access it)
  5. Restart the DIR and SD
  6. Run sudo bconsole
  7. Execute status client and select the Windows client
  8. Execute the Bacula commands to backup and restore the Windows files

/etc/bacula/bacula-dir.conf

JobDefs {
  Name = "DefaultJob"
  Type = Backup
  Level = Incremental
  Client = utrecht-fd
  FileSet = "Full Set"
  ...
}

Client {
  Name = utrecht-fd
  Address = IP2
  FDPort = 9102
  ...
}

Storage {
  Name = File
  Address = IP1
  SDPort = 9103
  ...
  Device = FileStorage
  ...
}

FileSet {
  Name = "Full Set"
  ...
  File = c:/test
  ...
}
-1
File = C:\\test

or

File = C:\\temp

use \\
