Hi Here is my sendsize log.

sendsize[2481]: time 220.652: Total bytes written: 5132001280 (4.8GB,
22MB/s)
sendsize[2481]: time 220.726: .....
sendsize[2481]: estimate time for / level 0: 220.672

sendsize[2481]: time 220.727: waiting for /bin/tar "/" child
sendsize[2481]: time 220.727: after /bin/tar "/" wait
sendsize[2481]: time 220.736: done with amname '/', dirname '/', spindle

sendsize[2479]: time 220.822: child 2481 terminated normally
sendsize: time 220.823: pid 2479 finish time Wed Feb 22 21:04:3

On the firewall run less /var/log/messages and search for udp and port
1001 and 1009 no UDP Packets log entries unless I need to search for
something else.

Cheers
