Hello List,

I've got a best practice question. When a Job is started it changes to 
Status=Running and the FD tries to connect to the SD. Let's assume this 
fails due to network outages, or in my case I configured an IP for the 
SD which is not accessible from the Client.

What happens is the Job sits in Status=Running and no Data is 
transfered. On canceling the Job,  I see things like:
25-Nov 11:25 bacula-dir JobId 27: Start Backup JobId 27, 
Job=bacula-test.2009-11-25_11.25.40
25-Nov 11:25 bacula-dir JobId 27: Created new Volume "bacula-test-0017" 
in catalog.
25-Nov 11:25 bacula-dir JobId 27: Using Device "bacula-test-file"
25-Nov 11:34 bacula-test-fd JobId 27: Fatal error: Failed to connect to 
Storage daemon: 192.168.1.xxx:9103
25-Nov 11:31 bacula-test-fd JobId 27: Warning: bsock.c:123 Could not 
connect to Storage daemon on 192.168.1.xxx:9103. ERR=Connection timed out

  SD Errors:              0
  FD termination status:
  SD termination status:  Waiting on FD
  Termination:            Backup Canceled



I've already set the following timeouts in my bacula-dir.conf:
Director {
...
        FD Connect Timeout = 5
        SD Connect Timeout = 1
...
}
(I had "n" postfixed to the numbers because I somewhere read it means 
minutes, so originally I had XD Connect Timeout = 5n, but it doesnt work 
either way)


Okay so I want it to timeout so it triggers a log message like it does 
when I cancel the job. I want the people who're responsible for these 
backup to come to the office in the morning and see their daily backup 
job succeeded or failed. I don't actually care if it cancels or not, at 
least if all the other jobs are succeeding regardlessly ;-)


Soo, give me your best practice advice, or tell me if I just did 
something wrong with teh configuration and I am on the wrong track!


Thanks in advance, Sascha
