I had tried that first. I read in the bacula documentation that it was required, and then another part of the documentation seems to indicate that it is not. I just want to get this working as I have spent a considerable amount of time with this, writing a very much simplified documentation of my own so that others here can actually re-install the backup server from scratch if the hard drive was to fail. I have already had one hard drive failure since trying to impliment this disaster recovery system.
