We had the same problem when a firewall between the director and the client was killing the tcp connection from the director to the client due to the tcp session timeout in the firewall being set lower then the time the job took to run. The connection between director and client seems to be idle while the client is sending it's data to the sd. Raising the session timeout in the firewall to reasonable values solved the problem for us. Bacula also has a Heartbeat Interval (or similar) directive that would probably solve the problem also, but I haven't used it personally, so look at the documentation for details on it's usage. -- Simon Ekstrand ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
