Hi! I think I have done just about everything in order to get any linux client to make a backup without luck.
What happens is the following (after installing client software and adding client) on the server:
If I select "Properties - Volumes" I will get the error message "Can't track volumes, error -519 (network communication failed)" and after that I will get the error message "Sorry, couldn't connect to ..., error -505 (backup client reserved)" whatever I do. The client have to be stopped and restarted.
When making backup (proactive or immediate) nothing happens or error -519. On the client the message is "reserved by <server> for Preparing..." and the number of connections are increasing for every attempt.
I have Multi Server, Version 7.5.387, Driver 7.5.12.103.
I have tried the following:
Ubuntu 7.04 with client 7.5.112, 7.0 and 6.5
PuppyLinux 2.15CE with client 7.5 and 7.0
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 with client 7.5.111
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 with client 7.0.112 and 7.0
and maybe some other combination.
None works but we backup about 50 XP/2k/98 clients and a few Macs without problem.
An irritating fact is that some year ago I installed a client on an older Ubuntu version to test and it worked directly. That was probably with server ver. 6.5
Any suggestions?
Does this server version work at all with linux clients?
