Issue: amdump fails to backup large DLEs. It fails with "Connection reset by peer" error

message

Configuration: iptables (firewall packet filter) is configured on the Amanda clien

Cause: iptables was breaking the TCP connections (set up by Amanda client and server for

backing up the data) because it was idle. During backup of large DLEs (~10GB data), the connections will remain idle for a long time.

Solution: Increase tcp keepalive probes

echo 90 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_keepalive_time
