Douglas,

Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately, we don't currently use encryption.

I did find something similar on this list about having the signature parameter 
set to SHA1, instead of MD5. We are using SHA1, as we have to for FIPS 
compliancy. It seems that this was reported as a bug and has been fixed in the 
16.x release of Bareos. Assuming that this is indeed the issue, we are starting 
to look at an upgrade.

If this is the issue, because it does not specify, I have to assume all of our 
backups are corrupt and that simply upgrading will not allow us to restore from 
our previous backups. Unless anyone else knows anything about this particular 
bug? 

Thank you,

Kenneth R. Leach

I don't know if my problem was related to yours, but I'm also encrypting 
backups on the client. I didn't trouble shoot it as much as you did, but I 
worked around the problem by adding this to my Job Defs:

   reschedule interval = 10 minutes
   reschedule on error = yes
   reschedule times = 3

Generally the 3 re-tries switched it from "occasionally" to "rarely".  And then 
I just live with the rarely failed backups.  :)
