Please do not top post. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Posting_style The answer to your question is no. The connection is kept open regardless of heartbeat. Heartbeat is like a ping. It sends a message along the connection. This convinces the firewalls/routers that the connection is alive. See Heartbeat Interval here: http://www.bacula.org/en/rel-manual/Client_Fi_daemon_Configura.html > Now if my previous statement is correct, is it necessary to specify a > heartbeat interval in the FD or doesn't matter where you specify it? It does matter.
