Thanks for the pointers. RE your questions: Q: "If you run backups from other hosts, for example the backup server itself, do those succeed?" No significant backups from any other hosts. The backup is migrated to tape each Friday, the migrate of "nothing" claims success, and then the backup catalog is written to tape, which is also successful.
Q: "Also, the report states that the FD believes it runs on Windows Server 2012, and that the FD version is slightly newer than the DIR/SD. None of that is necessarily problematic, but I think it would be reasonable to try upgrading the Bacula software on both ends first. Have you installed DIR/SD from Ubuntu repos or from another source?" DIR/SD are from https://www.bacula.org/packages/630201ee796f2/debs/13.0.1 I wanted v13 when I installed, but only v9 was available on 22.04LTS. Now that I'm running 24.04, 13.0.4 is available from the regular repositories, so that's an obvious move. I'll check to see if a more recently-built Windows binary is available. Q: "Have you ever used debug tracing with Bacula?" I've never had any significant difficulty with Bacula, so no. Per google it looks easy enough to initiate, I'm guessing the hard part will be interpreting the results.

In the progress report at the top, it mentions the SD wrote to three volumes. Eventual volume status is only mentioning two volumes, and the SD bytes written is also 0. This seems to indicate a problem that is not just a network issue between FD and SD but rather something affecting the SDs capability to communicate to the DIR as well. If you run backups from other hosts, for example the backup server itself, do those succeed? Also, the report states that the FD believes it runs on Windows Server 2012, and that the FD version is slightly newer than the DIR/SD. None of that is necessarily problematic, but I think it would be reasonable to try upgrading the Bacula software on both ends first. Have you installed DIR/SD from Ubuntu repos or from another source? Then, the fact that the FD reports a network issue but the SD doesn't seem to have anything to mention but the DIR lost the connection to it would imply that, if there's a network or Bacula protocol problem, it should be something that may be detected on the SD end. Have you ever used debug tracing with Bacula?
