And I am using bsdtcp, so this fits the observed bahviour to a T. Can this timeout be adjusted, or amanda somehow reconfigured to tolerate it better? Currently: ctimeout = 4 (was 7, but both machines respond much quicker than that) dtimeout = 1200 (this is 40 minutes, but with decent sata drives could shrink even more) etimeout = 300 (I don't recall the mode ATM, may be client estimate, its quick) I don't see anything else in the manpage that looks applicable.
