Network error with FD during Backup: ERR=Operation timed out andNetwork error during CRAM MD5 ERROR

[Alexandra Stark]

Hi, 

I need your help!

I have installed bareos on a linux server, until now the backup went through once, but now I get the following error message:

19-Apr 18:08 bareos-dir JobId 280: Fatal error: Network error during CRAM MD5 with 10.128.0.68
19-Apr 18:08 bareos-dir JobId 280: Fatal error: Unable to authenticate with File daemon at "10.128.0.68:9102"
19-Apr 18:08 bareos-dir JobId 280: Fatal error: Network error with FD during Backup: ERR=Operation timed out

or: 

Fatal error: Network error with FD during Backup: ERR=Operation timed out
19-Apr 18:15 bareos-dir JobId 281: Fatal error: No Job status returned from FD.

Here are my configs:

bareos-dir/client:

Client {
 Name = slcocp01-fd
 Address = 10.128.0.68
 TLS Enable = no
 Password = "test"  
 Auto Prune = yes
 Passive = yes
}
Bareos-FD on the Client-Machine

Director {
 Name = bareos-dir
 Password = "[md5]098f6bcd4621d373cade4e832627b4f6"
 #Password = "test"
 Description = "Allow the configured Director to access this file daemon."
 TLS Enable = no
}

and

I don't know what to do, I'm sure it's not the firewall because I'm already doing backups from other servers in this environment without any problems (windows).

Thanks in advance!

Hi Alexandra,

I had a similar error and was able to resolve  it by commenting out the TLS Enable option in the director and client.

My director was running Bareos 20.0.1 on Centos 7 and my client was running Bareos 20.0.1 on Ubuntu 18.04.6 LTS.

Hope this helps.

Take care and God Bless,

Jeff
