Hi, we have two Ubuntu Hardy Heron (8.04) servers running the packaged versions of bacula-dir/bacula-sd (the backup server) and bacula-fd (the client). All versions are 2.2.8-5ubuntu7.2 (out of support, I know).
I set up a reasonably large (190GB) backup job recently. The estimation says: 2000 OK estimate files=256194 bytes=190,196,003,597 Every time the backup runs it fails with the same elapsed time "2 hours 11 mins 15 secs", (7875 seconds). I had thought the router/firewall in between might be causing some problem, eg clearing out the connection and dropping packets after that number of seconds. I ran a job manually this morning and took a tcpdump at both ends to try and see what's going on. It appears at the moment that data is still flowing and the bacula-sd host sends a tcp reset, but I'm still trying to understand it completely. Does anyone have any thoughts why this might happen? Has anyone come across a bacula or linux issue that might cause this? Does this "magic time limit" ring any bells for anyone? A report from the most recent trial is below.
