Network problems or wrong values in the form shown in figure Bacula Configuration, can cause different errors. Here are some hints to solve them.

If you get the error message in figure fig:bmr-config-no-dir-connect, then you have a problem connecting to your Director. You can try to ping or telnet to your Director, or review the Director’s fields in the configuration form.

Something is Wrong Connecting to the Director

If you get the error message shown in the screenshot below, then the Director can not reach your client. Try to ping or telnet to the client from the Director itself and compare the rescue client fields in the configuration form with the ones on the Director side.

Something is Wrong in the Client Configuration

If you get the error message in figure Something is Wrong in the Console Configuration, then the “Rescue client name” or “Rescue console password” do not match the ones used in your Console resource of the Director, as shown in figure fig:cons.
