OS - CentOS 6.6 x86_x64
Hardware - ESXi 5.1 on HP Proliant DL160 G6
REAR 1.17

10.11.0.150 --- Bareos Server (testbackup-bareos)
10.11.0.151 --- Bareos Client (testbackup-client-01)(There is bareos-fd)

This ip addresses are static and this hosts have only one network interface - eth0.

[root@testbackup-client-01 ~]# uname -r
2.6.32-504.16.2.el6.x86_64

Going to 10.11.0.151 (Bareos Client) and backup it:

yum -y install nfs-utils genisoimage syslinux rear
mkdir /etc/rear/mappings
echo "eth0 10.11.0.151/24" > /etc/rear/mappings/ip_addresses
echo "default 10.11.0.1 eth0" > /etc/rear/mappings/route
vi /etc/rear/local.conf

There is config. Link -
http://pastebin.com/b3Hn1awQ

Comparing to the default rear local.conf file I edit only lines:
BACKUP=BAREOS
OUTPUT=ISO
BAREOS_CLIENT=testbackup-client-01-fd
OUTPUT_URL=nfs://10.11.0.150/backup
USE_STATIC_NETWORKING=y

vi /etc/bareos/bconsole.conf

Director {
Name = testbackup-bareos-dir
DIRport = 9101
address = 10.11.0.150
Password = "1FlpWEdFUIgbewhedsGGHJgbedsf""
}

This is ok. bconsole work.

Then begin backup process:

[root@testbackup-client-01 ~]# rear -v -d -D mkrescue

Size of rear-testbackup-client-01.iso is 34191360 bytes

Log file:
/var/log/rear/rear-testbackup-client-01.log ---

https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B7jcjwezrniKTmo1b2s2NDl1VUU&authuser=0

When I boot from rear-testbackup-client-01.iso and choose Recovery testbackup-client-01 then I've got a error:
screen error

telinit: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.
init: rcS post-stop process (47) terminated with status 1

I don't know how to fix it.

Thanks

@sohmstyle According a RH Knowledge Article:
**
Check for the existence of /etc/passwd
Check for the existence of /etc/nsswitch.conf and check the content
If /etc/passwd does not exists, replace it from backup as described in the resolution above
**
It sounds not very applicable, but you never know...
Could you also reduce the /etc/rear/local.conf file to the bare minimum?

BACKUP=BAREOS
OUTPUT=ISO
BAREOS_CLIENT=testbackup-client-01-fd
OUTPUT_URL=nfs://10.11.0.150/backup
USE_STATIC_NETWORKING=y

And try again?

I don't know how, but it helped!

Thanks!

And then I encountered a problem with "Error The LSB package is not installed."
There is same problems https://github.com/rear/rear/issues/496, https://github.com/rear/rear/issues/468, https://github.com/rear/rear/issues/326
I tried the solution of those posts, but they did not help.
I hope it will be possible to solve the problem with LSB package.
