Hi all,

I have a problem with latest bacula and remote backup. I am running 
bacula-dir on a Linux box, and want to backup some remote machines running 
Linux (with 2.4 kernel) as well. Only a firewall is in between, open for 
all 3 ports 9101:9103.

Unfortunately I can't give an exact error description, since the problem 
occurs on different clients and at different times. Sometimes, I have no 
problem saving all data of remote client A, then next time I get an error 
after X bytes (this amount of X bytes differs as well). Error is, that the 
backup job seems to "hang", nothing happens. With tcpdump I can't see any 
network traffic between the 2 hosts, except one packet on port 9102 or 
9103 every 2 minutes. The same happens (randomly) with other remote 
clients.

After a while, I get a "ERR=broken pipe" message and the backup job is 
canceled. First, I could solve this issue with "vacuum" on the sqlite DB, 
but now I am using MySQL and even with that backend this error occurs.

I tried to activate "Hearbeat Interval = 60 sec" on all clients and storage 
daemon, but that did not solve the issue. The only difference with this 
setting is, that the job does not get canceled and nothing happens until I 
manually cancel the job.

Has anybody an idea what could be wrong here? I do not think it's a 
firewall issue, since sometimes even a full backup (with around 5GB data) 
has no problem at all, and sometimes the error occurs after only 100MB 
data.

I am looking forward to any help, I have no idea left :(
Greetings and TIA, Matthias
