Hi! We are having a problem between a Bacula server version 5.2.5 (SD and Dir) and a Windows client running Bacula-fd 5.2.10.
The problem is we cannot make a full backup terminate with success. Backup jobs start without any problem, but they end with error after some GBs transfered (Sometimes after 1GBs, 2GBs, 4GBs. It does not appear to be a network shapping problem). When the volume of data to backup is small, the backup job works fine. The problem arises when we backup the whole data. Nobody has complained about connectivity problems with that Windows Server (it's a database server). We have tried the following, but none worked: - enable and disable VSS. - configure heartbeat interval... everywhere! (SD, dir, FD) :-) - lower the tcp keepalive time in our Bacula server (The one with the SD and Dir installed) (sysctl net.ipv4.tcp_keepalive_time). - disable Checksum Offload in the NIC config (As someone suggested in http://www.bacula.org/manuals/en/install/install/Client_Fi_daemon_Configura.html). Our Windows has an HP nic. - transfer data from the Windows FD to an SD in the same network the Windows server is, in an attempt to put SD and FD "closer". The next step is to downgrade Bacula-fd from 5.2.10 to 5.2.5 and see if that resolves the problem. Any ideas? or any clue? Notes: - Backups are stored in a storage mounted using NFS. - The data we are backing up is a single 50GB file.
