DNS in my environment is a bit wonky at times. When Bareos connects to a client, the client is not always the one specified by the hostname. I have a cron script that runs jobs automatically and checks to see if the host and fd on the client match, but I'm wondering if there's a way to put a pre-run script that cancels a manually run job if the same info does not match.
Thank you
Put a different bacula-fd password for different clients.
Then, if DNS points to wrong client, it will be unable to connect and abort automatically.
Use client initiated connection. If you configure it correctly only the bareos-fd will open a connection to the director making it unlikely to connect to the wrong host.
Also, make sure you use different passwords for different bareos-fds.
