I still have a data timeout error for a DLE in my amanda log this morning.

This is the second time this happens and this DLE is very important
for us. It has to be backed up correctly.

I've looked in the sendbackup.debug files on the client side and there
is no error for this DLE.

I asked the network admin to check in the firewall (CheckPoint FW-1)
logs to see anything unusual between the tape server and the client,
he spotted this:

TCP packet out of state: First packet isn't SYN

I don't know if it is related. I don't know where else to look. There
does not seem to be any error message on the server either.

I also increased the dtimeout from 1800 to 2400 but that does not seem
to be the problem, in the sendbackup.debug for the DLE in question you
see that it takes more than 1800 secs to complete (it took 5945.296
secs to complete), I think the dtimeout must be an "idle time" limit.

Here is the sendbackup.debug:
