fd: Heartbeat Interval = 300 dir: Heartbeat Interval = 5min sd: Heartbeat Interval = 5min The funny thing is, that the problem does not always happen in the same time frame, or even near the heartbeat interval of 5min. > The workaround is either to turn off heartbeat in your FD for your Verify > jobs > (not possible on a job by job basis) or set it longer than the time it takes > to run the verify. There are some very long running verify jobs (TB's of data), setting the heartbeat to an interval of xx hours wouldn't make sense. But I'll try to disable the fd's heartbeat completely. The fd I use for verify jobs is running on the same system the dir is running. So it shouldn't be a problem. > The longterm solution is that Bacula should not use the heartbeat code during > a Verify. I'm really glad that you found the reason, as you can see in bug report #1061 it was slowly driving me crazy ;) Ralf ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
