Hi,
go to the clients which fail, and have a look into the /tmp/amanda
directory.
There should exist some files called sendbackup.<timstamp>.debug.
have a look at these files, especialy at the last line in them.
it sould contain something like

"sendbackup: time 157.122 pid 12595 finish time Thu Aug 03:16:36 2004"

take the bigest value you find in all those files, and take that value
as a startingpoint for dtimeout.

Subject: data timeout

Hi

I recently added two new servers to the daily backup list but now keep

getting data timeout errors for them. I have already increased my dtimeout parameter in the amanda.conf file

to 7200 before I added the new servers. Can anyone tell me if there is a
more reasonable size I can increase this to without the backup falling
over or running through late into the next morning?

Thanks for any help. - Ranveer
