Hi, (Maybe someone experienced on this list can decide if Kern should read this, too?) Solutions: Can you tell me what kind of network and routing this is going through? (hops, NAT, stunnel, VPN, hardware...) Also, some people have had success with Heartbeat Interval for FD and SD in similar situations (this specific error is pretty unique according to google, though). Or try updating the windows network interface card driver, too. The cygwin thing is from compiling, and says where in the code we are going wrong. Don't worry about it. A possible explanation: I have been getting the same and similar errors. It seems related to networking over slow links (or huge jobs) that go through some problematic routing. For me, it happens after a specific amount of time, such as 12 hours. Sounds like broken networking to me. I have been working on it on and off for a month now, and today the first 58 hour job finished :). So I think I will have a solution sometime soon, but as of yet I have not seen other cases or solutions. The key seems to be that the DIR->FD connection is cut off during backup because of lack of traffic. The FD->SD connection can go on for a long time (30 mins or more) after this. The errors suggests a problem between FD->SD, of course - but dumping the traffic shows me this is wrong. Internally, this can also create weird reports in bacula because the director doesn't seem to check with SD that it also finished the job... I might file a bug about it when I know more.
