Re: [Bacula-users] Windows client VSS

Hello,

I have only looked at this problem quickly as the emails pass my inbox, 
but it seems to me that the most likely problem is that the Windows 
snapshot is taking a long time (not surprising with so many drive 
letters) and this is causing the Director<->SD connection to timeout 
probably because of switches that do not understand and conform to 
Internet standards).  The simplest solution is to set the Bacula 
heartbeat interval to 300 everywhere especially between the Dir and the SD.

Best regards,
Kern
