Client/File daemon configuration in manual says: "---- For each heartbeat that the File daemon receives from the Storage daemon, it will forward it to the Director. In addition, if no heartbeat has been received from the Storage daemon and thus forwarded the File daemon will send a heartbeat signal to the Director and to the Storage daemon to keep the channels active. ----" Storage daemon configuration in manual in turn says: "---- When the Storage daemon is waiting for the operator to mount a tape, each time interval, it will send a heartbeat signal to the File daemon. ----" So, if I put one such a line into the FileDaemon resource in the file bacula-fd.conf in the clients that are located behind the firewall, should it cover all other cases but the delay caused by the SD waiting for the operator to change the tape? And to cover the latter situation (tape change), a similar line into the Storage Resource of the file bacula-sd.conf? Or did I once again mess something?
