Re: [Networker] backing up large files, nsrexec get timeouts

Marcelo -

If you have a large number of files - and a server that is running slow, you may be hitting the groups inactivity timeout before the client finishes compiling its list of files. You may want to disable inactivity timeout as a test. Go to customize groups, pick the group, view details, about 2/3's down is Inactivity Timeout" - set it to 0 (disabled). The default is 30, which doesn't match the timings you have listed below, but maybe it was changed. Hey, it's something to check on at least.
